Could be better pro version needs work
Like the previous person said its a nice idea but could be better. If I am going to put the work in setting this up then I'd want to do it for all my shopping so would be good to have options to add my own sections not just fridge freezer and pantry. This is what I misunderstood the pro version to be, adding my own category is good.
The screens could be a little clearer such as my meals could be a separate one and then can quickly add them to planner etc. Not especially easy to move the meals around once in.Show lessSquashyface
Actively updated app, but clunky UI
What separates this app from its competitors, for me, is the fact that it is being actively updated by its developers. I think this is excellent, so great job to the developers who didn’t abandon this :)
The app’s UI is a bit clunky though. I wish it was more compact and menus/settings required less taps to access. The date selection/quantity selection is quite horrendous, with the option box being terribly tiny. The quantities of items should also accept custom values from the user.Show lessA858DE45F56D9BC10
Great tracking app for freezer food
I am using this app to keep up with food in my freezer. It is easy to set up and use! Until now food got “lost” in my upright freezer, but not now. I have not been using NoWaste long but am finding it indispensable. I’ve already saved money according to the included tracker, and I have noticed it. No doubt about it, I am very pleased by NoWaste.Show lessKasey1918
Paid
I paid for the app so I could list things with no expiration date but when I click no expiration the system seem to just choose whatever date it thinks is right.katara11111
Beautiful app
Thanks to No waste, it helps me aware of using expired items first, avoid food wastage. Very considerable and pretty icons. Love it!Cherry Bubble
Great idea, needs polish
My family has been using NoWaste for several weeks now. Love the idea (WANT to live the app) and the app is a great start, but it needs a lot of work.
Adding items isn't intuitive, for instance the system shows you defaults based on the last item you entered, but you have to re-enter or at least tap on each option (size, number of items, category) to set them for the current item. You have to scroll through the categories list each time, you can't search for the category. It takes the app a significant time to sync your list each time you add or remove items. Need to partner with sure database of UPC codes so that users don't have to enter details of so many items. Lots of small bugs like that around adding/moving items means that it takes WAY too long to add your new items after grocery shopping. This friction will cause many potential users to give up.
It would be nice to interface with existing shopping list apps like Anylist. Instead NoWaste offers its own inferior shopping list option. Stick with your core concept, providing access to the list of the food you have in your home.
There have been several app updates since we purchased it so at least the developer is actively working on it.Show lesswhoDean
Just what I needed
This app might not be the most intuitive when you first open it up, but, stick with it for just a little bit and it gets easy! Brilliant way to track food, plan meals, and make shopping lists. It paid for itself the very first time it reminded me to eat some frozen kale that was about to expire. Also, from a moral/ethical standpoint I'm so happy to be reducing my food waste. I'd been throwing away a lot of food because I forgot I had it or missed the expiration date, and this is helping so much.Show lessjessicalouise
This app is the BEST!
I really discovered this app looking for a way to track the food in my house currently, but I LOVE the “no waste” feature! I felt like I wasting a lot of food and want to do better about that to save money. And this app made it SO easy! Only a few days in but I have already made efforts to eat soon-to-be expired foods and eat out less, since I have a clear picture of what is already at home. Thank you!!Show lessabernie2303
Nice App
Hi, this is a good idea of an App but much more is to be done.
I would start by adding a select all option in case you want to delete multiple items. Another one will be to use it offline and update lists too account when internet is available. And also to work a little bit on the UI in terms of easy access as it's a bit time consuming in adding items.
P.S. I enjoyed the old Icon of the app better. This one is to ... anonymous

Developer Response
Thanks for your review and the feedback. It helps improve the app! Best, KasperVery useful app
I like the scanning barcode feature to quickly update your records. My food waste has decreased since using this app. One minor bug is that when scanning a new item the expiry date you specify is not saved. It defaults to today and you have to edit the item and save the correct expiry date.Rajdownunder
