Currently freezing when I create a new item

I’ve used this app for over 2 years and really love it, but lately every time I want to create a new item without a barcode, like a home cooked meal, the entire app freezes, doesn’t save the item, then I need to close out of the app and try again for it to maybe finally work after 8 times of trying it. I’m really hoping it’s a bug fixed with the next update because I’ve never had this issue before and it’s been getting quite frustrating. Everything else has been working just fine with the app, scanning barcodes, adding already saved items, but it simply does not cooperate when I create a new item, and if that’s not fixed I may have to consider switching to a new app, which I really don’t want to do. I’m still giving 4 stars because I’ve used it for so long and love everything else about the app.

Great for knowing what you have But needs to do more.

I love the user friendly and minimalist design, has majority of items and adding items it doesn’t is simple. If you go over 200 items it prompts you to pay a reasonable fee which is fine, just wish you could use the app for recipe suggestions based on what you have. Don’t really see much use in it besides tracking what you have and honestly don’t think that’s worth paying for, I can do that in my notes. Kind of disappointing that it doesn’t include the recipe suggester.

Brilliant!

Finally, one that works and has a good database. My only gripes are that you don’t seem to be able to customise categories and that it would be useful to have a field showing size/weight etc. well worth the subscription.

Not working

Following the latest update, Pantry Check won’t start.

Truly the best cupboard/freezer/fridge app

I have tried various products, but nothing comes close to this one. So much so I have purchased a years subscription and now having used it for a few weeks I will renew next year. You can assign where items are and sort by location, or product. This has saved me so much time when shopping, as I can quickly see what I already have. You can add expiry dates too. Brilliant app, would highly recommend.
It takes a little time to add everything you have, and I found being in the UK there were a lot of products to add, but once set up….perfect. Try it, you really won’t regret it!
Only works on apple at the moment.

Love Pantry!

This is lifesaver! I used to buy duplicates all of the time. I cook lots of different kinds of cuisine and stock a wide variety of exotic and hard to find ingredients. Food in the pantry would expire, especially things I didn’t use often. Then, when I needed something for a recipe, I would find that it was too old to be used. Or, not realizing I already had a necessary ingredient, I would order it and find it was already in the pantry. Now, I read a recipe and immediately look up any uncommon ingredients to see if I have them.

Best for house inventory

Having tired lots of inventory apps for my house, this is the best multi item allowing me to track everything in 1 place!

Easy & Efficient Pantry Views at a Glance

Pantry Check is simple, fast and allows me to organize everything in my pantry, refrigerator and freezer in easy to see categories and timelines (great to know what items I should use up first). It scans barcodes but also allows me to enter in locally sourced items. I use it on my iPad at home and on my iPhone everywhere else. Convenient, nothing gimmicky, clear displays and easy editing.
I was surprised by the amazing support from Sunroom Labs — I accidentally wiped my inventory during a reboot and the General Manager responded to my “Help!” email just 2-3 hours later. Expected it to take days if. It weeks to hear back from someone. He also continued to help me find a solution, always with extremely fast response times. I do recommend registering with an email, it makes it easier to use across multiple platforms.

Really useful app

Love the fact you can scan in items and add items that can be used by the community. Good job!
