  • Needs more features

    You add in all your pantry items into the first tab and then you tap over to the shopping list....it’s empty and so you have to manually add in everything again.
    There should be a way for foods that are low in stock to be added automatically. The ‘essentials’ feature does nothing new.

    Also how much of an item is left should be displayed visually without having to tap into every item.

    I should see how much I have left of everything at one glance, not one by one.

    The slider feature for how much is left is pointless, just have one tap to mark something as low.

    In the shopping list, have everything in my pantry etc already listed but greyed out. Then anything that’s marked as low is not greyed and you can scroll through it and tap something to un-grey it if you want more of it or manually add in anything new yiu don’t already have.

  • Review

    As part of an assignment, i installed this app. But its very helpful for me managing food items. Really impressed.keep tracking of food,i reduced food wastage to be an extended. And i found error sometimes language has been changed and dont have any option to change language Otherwise worthful
  • Photo taking would make this app better

    Great idea! It is very useful for eliminating food waste, however, I think that an easy option of allowing photos to be set as the logos for the food so that it is easier to picture where the food is or what it looks like would be awesome.
  • Terrible App

    Paid for upgraded app. Was finally getting the hang of it and had about 80 items in it when it suddenly when’s “white” and I cannot access it at all. Hope I can get it all back somehow.
  • Excellent app...

    A long-time user, really find this app excellent, easy-to-use, and offering the flexibility that I need.

    Seems it is continually being improved. Really like the location-specific scanning codes.

    Highly recommended!
  • Brilliant app

    This is a lovely app and I have tried a few, it’s adaptive, intuitive and easy to use. I have 3 freezers and am currently just using it for the freezers but I will add in larder and fridge. I have just upgraded from four to five stars. Originally I had problems with matching to iPhone but working great now. I’m so organised now and saving money. Very happy to upgrade even though I don’t need the extra stuff, I feel the app creator deserves some remuneration. Excellent

  • Excellent software

    My family uses this app to track our food in our different refrigerators and freezers. The app helps us plan our meals much easier, and know what we need to buy at the store in a pinch.

    We purchased Pro soon after downloading, the barcode scanner is robust and having multiple inventories was very helpful.

    As far as I can tell, the app is unique in its features, UI, and function for food inventory. It’s the only one that kept a proper inventory when we were searching.

    Been a user for a long time now, the latest versions (late 2020, early 2021) are even better and more functional. This is an example of an app that gets better with time, something that doesn’t always happen.

    Keep up the good work!

  • Account was deleted, no support

    We signed up with this app and also added the pro subscription for $5.99 per year.

    The app has some quarks but in general its a good app. I would say the app deserves 4 stars, but support left us high and dry, so that gets them one star.

    We have used the app for about 6 months and have about 600 items in the list. All of a sudden when opening the app, the app greeted us with a welcome screen. This happened on all our iOS devices.

    We tried resetting the password but never got the email. We contacted support and for several weeks we did not receive an answer. We emailed them again, another few weeks have gone by, still no answer.

    Just as a test, we tried signing up as a new user with the exact same email address, a new account was created but all our items are lost and we cannot restore the $5.99 pro license. It seems our account was deleted!

    I leave this review and it’s up to you to decide if you want an app where you enter a ton of products, spend a lot of time doing so and when there is a problem, support does not care and does not respond.

    I am very, very disappointed.

  • Need categories back

    Features slowly coming back, but really needs categories back, it’s sooooo important for the usefulness of the app
  • Even better. 3.9 stars.

    Display of quantity on the inventory list. ✅

    —-

    The old version just about worked. The new version is loads faster. 🥳 But there is a rewrite in progress and at times the app has been a little unstable. It’s a lot better now though. Ironically it’s one of the best food management apps there is simply because the developer is genuinely interested in this & most of the others are so bad.

    It would be best to sort the core functions - scanner items have simple defaults, less options and work consistently. Just how often does tinned food expire today for example when adding to the inventory ?
    Default a year away ? Just show name, quantity & expiry on the list. Make expiry optional. Most of the time I don’t care unless it’s a fridge item.

    The developer is a friendly guy and will do everything to help people, just send an email.
