Making my life so much easier

My favourite feature so far is having the app downloaded to multiple devices for all family members. My daughter and I can scan together which makes moving things into the pantry very quick. My partner can see what we have on hand before he purchases it again at the store. I wanted an app like this because we had 6 boxes of onion soup mix and 4 bags or dried oregano. We never really know what we have at home or how much so we “bought just in case”. I want o be able to cut back on what we buy and use what we have and I think this app is just what we needed. I also appreciate how many items have already been loaded and the ease of loading new items.

BEST APP!!! FREE AND Organized!

I always wanted something to help me keep track of the food in my house and fridge and here it is! Simple easy to use! You can even add your own home cooked meals and take pictures of them to see whAt you always have in your fridge live!
Super useful at the store even reminds you when things expire so you don’t end up throwing away spoiled food and money out of your pocket!
Best is to peak in your fridge once or twice a day and update it when you can take less than 1 minute to make sure all your groceries are in stock fresh and up to date!
Thank you to whoever made this app! It has made my life so much easier !

Amazing app but...

Let me start by saying this app is amazing, it really helped me save some money from not buying the same thing over and over. I love the scan thing cause even at the store if I’m thinking of getting it I scan it and the app lets me know I already have that in the pantry. The one suggestion I would make is if they could somehow implement different languages. Since I share the app with girlfriend and her first language is Spanish she gets a little confused when looking for certain things. But other than that I think this is the best app to manage what you got in the fridge and in the pantry. Definitely saves money

Best pantry app

I have tried about 6 of this kind of app over the weekend. Not had this long but it is the best and most flexible for adding your own stuff. With taking photos. Great for seeing what needs to be used up first before it expires. Just what I was after. Will be doing all my canned goods next weekend.

Love love love this app BUT.....

This is a wonderfully done & oh SO needed app to control pantry items, without $$$ loss from expiration dates & food spoilage. PLEASE, pretty pretty please DEVELOPERS, allow same items to have more than one location!!! Many of us have a working pantry we need to track BUT also a bulk storage pantry. For example... we have baking supplies (flour) in everyday working pantry BUT store additional quantities of unopened flour in our bulk pantry, a separate location. Some may store batteries in different locations, due to their intended device usage, etc. These are just two examples, but I’m finding this to be a HUGE PROBLEM to “accurately” keep inventory. If you would PLEASE remedy this, & your app would be a 10⭐️. Your app has been a life changer SO I’m not opposed to begging... PLEASE oh PLEASE😬

Simply amazing

What else is there to say!? This app is amazing! I have so many things that I have duplicates of because I live 30 minutes from a grocery store and if I’m at the store and not sure if I have an item or not, I buy it just in case. Now I can just look at this app and know if I have it and how many! It categorizes them too. And I believe you can even specify where something is (top shelf, middle shelf, fridge, etc) but I have t used that function yet.

I Know What I Have

I learned to stock up and shop ahead from my mother. I never stopped. The pandemic hit. We now have long reaching supply chain problems. Everything has changed. If you can your own food, you can use this. If you shop - if you eat - you can use this! Your Inventory is the key. You will never wonder if you are out of something when you get to the store again. You don’t waste because you didn’t need something but bought it because you didn’t know. You can track prices across stores so fast. Everyone in the house helps by keeping up on the app and it costs nothing extra for them to do it. This is such a comprehensive app! It does so much automatically. So impressive, I can hardly believe that men were involved in creating it! (Sorry, guys, but other than eating, groceries aren’t ordinarily your wheelhouse.) All jokes aside, it really is the best app I have, and the only one I would pay for. You will save time and money. EXCELLENT APP!

Great interface but...

This app is the best in class but you can only use it on your phone or iPad. I thought this wouldn’t matter but when you’re managing a lot of food that you don’t want to go to waste (since that’s throwing money in the garbage) it really doesn’t work out in the long run. You can’t log into your account from a browser and there is no desktop app. The longer I use this app this factor becomes more of a hardship. When I go to reconcile what I have with what I need to plan to buy I find that I’m having to just use something else from my desktop so I can ensure I have everything for my months worth of meal planning. While I love the stability of this app (I have a paid version) I’m going to have to move on if I can’t just login from a browser to get a bigger view.

Shopping Module Nightmare

While the pantry inventory is robust, bordering on overkill, shopping is awkward to say the least. 1) assigning a purchase to a store must be done AT the store. 2) Without user access to app’s store database, no corrections allowed when you get home 3) don’t mistakenly check an item off a shopping list, ‘cuz you can’t undo the mistake. Must return to Inventory, Restock, Assign to List from scratch 4) no user access to purchase history by store, item or other. So no method for comparison shopping. 5) user should be able to create store-linked list to the app’s stores database.

Shopping seems an afterthought, when it should be yin to inventory yang. Barcoding in real time is not always ideal, so more flexibility to the shopper is surely in order.

My new freezer app

Have used an app to monitor my 2 freezers for a few years however my old one had lost its way with bugs and a UI getting over complicated. Looked around and found Pantry Check. Barcode scanner much faster and simple intuitive interface. Very pleased.
