Terrible

Rarely do I give a bad review but this app does not work as advertised. Many items not found. Items that do scan either gives the wrong expiry date or tells me the item has expired even though the printed label says I have months to go. While a great idea, this app should be removed until it is fixed.

Useful but could use some basic features

I like this app. It does what I wanted it to do. It does seem to need a database update to recognize products.

One HUGE feature would be to add my own barcodes for products in my local grocer. This flexibility would be far beyond useful and time saving.

Also, it would be nice to prompt or ask for an expiration date when I transfer something from my shopping list. It is frustrating to transfer an item, then have to find it in the location and then add an expiration date. That is not efficient when I’m putting groceries away or otherwise don’t have all day to set expiration dates.

The last feature I would love to see is the ability to move items from one location to another while maintaining the expiration date and reducing the number of items in the original location by the number moved. Example: I have 3 juices in the pantry. I’d like to be able to transfer 2 to the refrigerator, thus leaving my pantry list with 1 juice and my refrigerator list with 2 juices. Recreating the item is a pain and waste of time!

I will gladly update my review should more useful features come along.

Good enough app, can do with modifications

It’s a nice app for being able to catalog you’re kitchen how you want it and with what types of categories you want things in. The data can all be modified (name, expiration date...) and you can organize by name or expiration date. It also doubles as a shopping list. Downsides: the barcode scanner doesn’t work on small barcodes (think your small jars of spices) and their library isn’t that vast and sometimes doesn’t register common brands (like Pepsi or Kraft). The recipe generator also isn’t that great, so don’t rely on it to come up with a dinner idea for you.

Nope.

I would absolutely love this app if it did what it says. I have no idea how it has a 4 Star review. Every item I scanned was at least a month past its expiration date and some items were almost half a year or more? So strange. It scans fast and names what the item is but it doesn’t seem to have a rhyme or reason to doing the actual job I needed it to do which is keep track of expiration dates. 🤷🏼‍♀️ very disappointing.

Great product

I needed something to organize my food and keep me notified when food is about to expire. This app is great for that however when it comes to recipes there’s a bit of an issue.

Ex) I put in heresies chocolate bar and recipients are coming up saying I have heresies chocolate syrup or chocolate milk. I guess in theory I do but I really don’t.

Also I would say a large percentage of my great value Walmart food didn’t come up in the system (I was fine with entering it in manually) but the ingredients I entered in manually don’t translate well with the recipe option.

Ex) manually entered in strawberry jam and it came up with things saying I had strawberries

I would have liked a search option for manual entry so the recipes actually matched with what I had. Over all great app

Perfect

We keep a medium sized closet full of chips, snacks, and soft drinks for a flight department of 3 airplanes and this app has been perfect for our needs. Paid for the customizable version, but that was the best $2.99 I've ever spent. It makes me look like I'm on top of it, but really it's all due to this app.

The Holy Grail for Kitchen Inventory,

expire Dates and Shopping Lists and very helpful for emergency prepping

This app does it all! I can’t believe it isn’t more widely known.
My initial impressions:
-Scanner - incredibly easy to use. It could scan most bar codes. The grocery receipt scanner is a must have!! So easy. It took me about 30 minutes to get most of the food in my fridge entered. I love being able to search what I have in my kitchen!
- Expiration dates - some are Auto generated but for others it was super easy to put in date manually.
- The interface is simple, smart, intuitive and quick!
- Easy to change quantities of items
- simple shopping list creation
- love the recipe suggestions
- now I’m off to do our Go-bags and emergency supplies!!! You can create any space you want to inventory.
I bought the paid version just to support the developer. Thank you!!
