It’s all gone
I’ve been scanning my incoming food now for awhile and had a good handle on things... until today.
Today I opened the app and it acted as if I had never used it before. Then it demanded a email address and password that it never required either.
And now months of data entry and recipes are GONE! Add to that the developer making excuses that not all subscription perks I’ve already paid for are not available because no legitimate excuse.
Where the hell is my DATA???!!!
Vendor instructions to get refund on 12 month subscription after only 4 months doesn’t work. Reported to Apple.
Avoid this app like the plague.Show lessJustAwful68
Glitchy, and lost all my food
It takes many many hours of upfront and ongoing investment to set up and use this app. It would be worth it, but it has proven so glitchy as to barely be usable at the best of times. (My husband finally swore it off a few months ago and said I’d have to do all the input and deleting myself, because it was so glitchy.)
But the real issue is that the developer decided to move the database to a new server this month, and in the process MANY users’ food was lost, including mine. This is apparently the users’ fault for not responding to some notification that the developer purportedly gave that they’d have to export and then import their food. I still have no idea how this “notification” supposedly happened (I have no emails, noticed no pop ups, saw nothing in the app), so it was either a 1-time unclear notification, or it was hidden well. Regardless, my food is now lost and many hours of my life wasted, and my $6 for the app wasted.
Seriously, just use a google spreadsheet to track your food.... cause this app is not worth the pain. The barcode scanning feature seldom works for our food, anyway.
Edit: apparently the “notification” to export your food was in the NOTES TO THE UPDATE DESCRIPTION IN THE APPLE STORE. As if anyone EVER reads those; all our apps auto update. What a joke.Show lessusedtoactuallylikethis
Lost Entire Inventory with Update
I loved this app and used it daily. Then I woke up this morning to find a new version which requires setting up a new account. My old (large) inventory of my fridge, pantry, two freezers, and spice cabinet are gone and unrecoverable. There is a way to import an inventory, but it requires having previously exported it in preparation for this update. There was no announcement within the app, by email, etc., to let users know about this. Instead, it was buried in the update notes (which, if you—like me—have apps set to auto-update—will never see). It would take me hours to recreate the inventory (and, ironically, some food waste will be involved, as I have some things I only have an inkling of the expiration on in my now-vanished inventory). It is now understandably difficult to trust that spending those hours in this app is a wise idea.Show less_CLL_
Love it! Can express how useful this has been for me!
I struggle with impulse buying and then forgetting what I have in my fridge
This has helped me use the food I have and not over buy or waste money or food
My only suggestion is for things like
When I open a long life soy milk I no longer have the years left on the expiry date only about a week
If there was a “Ive opened this” option so the notifications jumped to say 6 days to let you know how long it’s been there that would be amazing
But I love this app
Very very useful for people with adhd and other non Neuro typicals who like me have a difficult time with impulse buying or memory function, not to mention the green aspect of less food wastage and so forth.Show lesspenguinundies
Version 6 wiped my old data
I got an update to this today for version 6. After the update all my previous data was gone. I then checked the release notes, which say that this intentional and I need to import my previous data as long as I know my username. I don’t recall ever having a username.cilias
Can’t wait for the update
Love this app and just read and watched the videos about all the new features coming in November. Great work, looking forward to it.Mamma monkey
Love this app
I got this app at the start of the pandemic to help me keep track of what supplies I had on hand during the lockdown. Takes a bit of time to scan/add what’s already in the cupboard, but it was worth it. Has helped me waste less food and having a place to create a meal plan is super useful. I’ve actually saved money on groceries by not overbuying/wasting.Show lessShalC
It started well, then went wrong
I was really liking this app, and spent several hours happily adding the contents of my cupboards in. I then wanted to share with my husband, at which point it prompted me to create an account. I did, then it asked me to sync my additions. I did so, and went to the home page and there were 8 copies of everything, 500 items that I can’t bulk delete :(. It’s made it unuseable.
Looking at other reviews this has been happening a long time. That happens, sometimes computers are weird. But if the problem is with the initial copy, maybe move the account prompt before you start adding? “Want to sync? Create an account!”. Then at least you won’t have the wasted hours 😭Show lessYowls
Super helpful app!
Really enjoying this app. It’s a little difficult to navigate at times and we’ve maxed out the number of locations, but overall it’s worth a little time and effort to have a full picture of what food is on hand. The expiration date reminders are very helpful!Outdoortype
Too glitchy
The app is good in theory, but it’s too glitchy and just doesn’t work, even after paying for the upgrade.
It randomly deletes all your items, creates items you never had (apparently my chicken drumsticks were due to go out of date when 1. The BB date was in 2022 and 2. I’m a vegetarian - I don’t even know what chicken drumsticks are, never mind own them).
It now won’t let me use the app without upgrading to premium- which I’ve already done, and it doesn’t even let me click to upgrade, (rightly) saying I already have done.Show lessAmdkwoappd
