I like it
I like the concept, it’s well designed, not expensive (I upgraded), and I was excited to use it! So I scanned about 20 items in my pantry, went through and edited categories and amounts, and then clicked “add all” and the app crashed and went I went back in none of the stuff I added saved. It probably only took about 5 to 10 minutes to do, but it was tedious and I was too frustrated to do it again. I probably could scan each item individually but then it would be even more tedious. Also: when you click “add all” and it actually does work, you get a message saying something like “added!” You’re supposed to click “ok” but no matter how many times you do the message won’t go away. Lastly: there isn’t an icon for oils. I use oils. In spite of all of this, I do like the app, so I’ll keep it and hope for bug fixes.Show lessageagainstthemachine
Could be improved
I really like the idea behind this app and have wanted to be more conscious about food waste. I got the pro to help with notifications but I’ve noticed that the app will not actually communicate correctly with my phone’s notification system. While the notifications keep appearing in the app, I’m not getting notified outside the app (checked the settings too). It also seems to do double entries when scanning barcodes and putting in inaccurate expirations dates for certain items. The scan receipt feature also seemed to be stuck when I tried to use it (wasn’t even a long grocery list). I think this app has potential but has quite a few bugs which I’m hoping will be fixed soon.Show lesskorppi8
Not recommended
I purchased the Pro Version of this app to unlock the multiple lists feature.. After rebooting my phone, all items have reverted to one list. To add to my frustration, all the data I spent hours meticulously entering was lost. The barcode scanner rarely works properly. The expiration dates are NEVER correct, not even close 99% of the time. Very dissatisfied. I’m requesting a refund.Show lessProjecTruth
Nice but can be better
I really like this app for the most part. It’s pretty buggy for me where it randomly closes or my meals will just go blank after saving it. It’s weird that you can’t add meals from the Meals list to the Meal Plan...they have to be added separately along with all the ingredients and recipe. It would be extremely nice and make way more since if I could choose meals from the meals list to the meal planShow lessZoni20
The best pantry inventory
This is the best pantry organizer I found. It has a pleasant, if slightly odd, interface. Ability to scan barcodes. Expiration alerts. It is important to me that it is not on the subscription bandwagon. The fee for extra functions is a reasonable one time fee. However, the free version is generous and usable.Show lessDavid Raffin
Hangs to “updating” when editing an item in the shopping list
The app hangs when editing an item in the shopping list. It shows “updating” text with a spinning wheel and stops working.
The app is clunky in many other aspects too.
For example: The shopping list shows items in the general overview together with “pantry” and “freezer”, but it will not show any of those items if you don’t select the exact date you have planned to buy the items. So there is no quick way to know what you need to buy when or a quick way to change the date you plan to buy something.
I set the language to English, but when I add groceries to a new meal, it will show a label in danish instead for the total added groceries in the overview page once I have added an item.
Sorry, but it seems to be that the app needs a lot of debugging although the basic idea is a good one.Show lessPakitt
Notifications do not work
This app design is nice. I bought it to notify me of when items are about to expire. However this feature does not work. I don’t get any notices. You can specify how many days in advance you want to get an alert, and the settings never save. I could make it 4 days to alert, if I go to edit again, it says it’s set to 1 day. This feature needs fixed. I should be able to receive notices when app isn’t open.
If this feature gets fixed I’ll give a nice 5 star.Show lessUndated
Glitches
I love the idea behind this app tho there are some glitches. I can understand that it wouldn’t have every barcode for everything. I can even understand that it wouldn’t have the correct expiration for every item, but can’t some items be correct!?
This app keeps putting my dry beans in my fridge for some reason. Who stores dry beans in their fridge?
I can’t get it to read receipts. And it would be really nice if when I have a shopping list and I enter new items that match that the list would be linked somehow and check off on its own because I’m doing enough manually as it is. But no I have to go through one by one with the same screen to say whether its been wasted, eaten or just delete it.
I am still learning how to use this app to its fullest potential but with so much manual entry work I worry about errors. Did I miss dates, is the app changing them, are items in the right place, who puts dry beans in my fridge and frozen cauliflower in my pantry? Can it just get ONE expiration date right?Show lessJinxKitty
Great to start with...
This was ideal when I first installed it, did everything really smoothly, adding items, deleting moving between locations, editing shopping list etc but recently it’s been a nightmare! Constantly getting error messages, pretty much every time I use it when I try and update inventory lists, and the shopping list? Forget it, can’t move items from it or delete items easily off it, get words in a foreign language over my items??? Please please sort this out.Show lessMaddie!2020
