Support is Lacking
This app has the potential to be great however there is no password reset function so I’m now unable to access any of the information I spent hours logging. I have emailed support multiple times but have gotten nowhere.lisamarie_09
App is functional but not efficient
Qualify this by saying I am using the free version at the moment. It does the job but adding lots of items at a time is tedious on phone. For example adding multiples of same item with different due dates. iPad better but clumsy using scanner. Does the job though.
Would I recommend it? Yes.MikeferL
Superb app
I wrote a review earlier because I was frustrated when I purchased this app. I would like to change that review and give this app a 5 star. This app is great and superb!
The Developer got back with me and fixed the problem (the Pro upgrade would not upload); it took a little while for the Developer to get back with me, but it was worth the wait and I must give him credit for getting back with me.
I am loving this app - there is no other app out there in comparison to the “No Waste.” There is no subscription fee - just a one time fee for the Pro upgrade for $5.99 (I believe it was).
I thanked the Developer for creating this app and a job well done!Show lessLei Kua
Well I’m impressed
I went ahead and bought this app tonight and I love it already.
I have all my food on this app now and have completed the three weeks meal plan.
I’m a childminder, and I’ve even planned our snacks. This is the app I have been waiting for. Thanks so much Tom the creators for making this possible.Show lessLoop E lou
It’s alright... but,
This has the basis of a good app. It takes a while to upload the contents of a giant freezer hence why we wanted a simple program. It was a bit hit and miss as to weather the barcodes worked ... many did but you still had to manually input the name of the product, weight etc.
Tedious but got there in the end. Some of the stuff his home frozen so access to the camera to photograph at that point would have been a help.
Leaving all that aside it’s the syncing between mine and my wife’s phone... after the initial sync (which it did flawlessly) it then wouldn’t sync. So I would make changes on mine and try to sync the two phone... no! Certainly not via cloud or network. A simple but essential update is needed. Why must I log out, then log back in to sync mine or my wife’s phone? And she the same.
I’m happy to pay for apps but please, let’s have them functioning properly. Watch this space!Show lessArtierSquare
Super Easy
We just put this on all our iDevices and have all three freezers in it. We upgraded to the full version and are very happy. Plan on doing the 2nd pantry in the basement later so we don’t end up with another 5 bottles of Mayo! Absolutely LOVE the sync feature. Everything was updating in real-time on our devices. Highly recommend!!!Show lessLandPu
Wish There Were More Locations
I did a lot of searching and this seems to be the best app for pantry organization. There are 3 locations ; freezer, fridge and pantry. Each location has only 3 sub-locations. I wish they were unlimited or at least way more than 3. Otherwise the app has barcode ability to add items, track expiration dates as well as different locations. I haven’t seen all 3 together outside of this app.Show lessLcdrforbes
Great app! Could become very popular with some work
If you’re looking to get this app, I would go ahead! It’s really great to track all your food items.
I’ve just recently downloaded this app, and from what I can see it’s pretty great. Most of the bad reviews on here are pretty old and have been fixed already.
A few tips I have for the developers are:
- Add more categories!!! I find it a bit funny that you have a category for “Chocolate creme” (which basically means Nutella)but not for something as simple as baking ingredients or sauce. Some of the categories are a bit too specific as well, like flour. People usually don’t have multiple types of flour at once.
- Maybe make there be a way to eat some of a product but not all? For example, if I have 5 packages I could just check it off and it will move down to 4 packages or something.
Keep working on this app! I love it so far and I think it will just keep getting better!Show lessEquinecm
Surprisingly impressed!
After many years of throwing out food, buying things we already had, etc. my wife and I decided to look for something to help manage this, and settled on NoWaste.
It’s still early days but a few things have impressed me so far - very easy to sync across devices, now the kids have access and can see how many hotdogs we have before they decide how many pals to invite round. Barcode scanning has a very high rate in the UK. I had visions of a very low hit rate but it’s up around 90%.
Very flexible in terms of recording packet sizes, weights, etc. Also very easy, using the 4 predefined expiry date periods, to update a product once open. For example it may have 6 until use by, but once open must be consumed within two weeks, so simply update the expiration to 2 weeks from current date using the 2 week button.
Overall, really impressed and if we keep it up to date it will definitely make a difference to the way we shop and eat!!!
Maybe I haven’t found this yet, but a few ideas ...
Search by category - only show a certain category
Access detail of expired/eaten items - even for last 6 months
Query “close to expiry” across all fridge/freezer/pantry - to see everything nearing expiry rather than wait for individual notifications.Show lessRoyg70

Thanks a lot and thanks for the ideas. Best, KasperLoving this so far
I love knowing what food products I have available in each area. this is especially helpful since we produce and preserve a lot of our own food. We use chest freezers and it is easy to forget what is in the bottom of them or when it may expire. Just one suggestion could weights of product be selected differently, so many of the tinned, bottled and packaged products do not finish on 00 grams and 50 gms eg 65 or 375 etc. in our case what we preserve especially does not fall into 00 or 50 gm categories.
Many thankShow lesscrisbria
