READ THE BATCH CODE
Many manufacturers use a special code that consists of digits and letters instead of usual date format. Our app helps you to determine best before date of beauty products via the batch code right in the store. We can do it for more than 880 beauty brands.

FORGET ABOUT EXPIRED COSMETICS
The application calculates and remembers how long the product is safe to use after opening. For this purpose we provide more than 60 types of beauty and care products to choose from. You can free your mind for more pleasant thoughts.

GET AUTOMATIC REMINDERS
The app will notify you one month before the product will expire. The second reminder comes up as the product needs to be replaced. Beauty Keeper saves your list of cosmetics not only to your iPhone, but also to iCloud, therefore all your reminders will not be lost in the case of changing your phone.

### 2/5 — App is 4 yrs out of date, still partially useful

*2023-04-22*

This app hasn’t been updated in 4 years. And it shows. This is the best app for this service I was able to find when searching 2 months ago. That’s sad since this one isn’t supported anymore. I am still using it, but sure would be nice if this one was brought up to date or someone else made a more appropriate version, without charging a high fee or monthly subscription. 
The lists are visually cluttered and it would be nice to have a picture of the product on the list so it’s easy to pick the item to update or verify the expiration date. 
I didn’t buy this $2 app for the batch info, but it would be great to actually be able to use it. I assume it returns error messages because it’s no longer up to date.

### 4/5 — Good tracker

*2023-02-17, version 2.5*

The tracking system is nice, though the scanning function doesn’t work. I still use it though! Very helpful to keep track of when I open something!

### 3/5 — Wish this app was supported and updated

*2022-12-08, version 2.5*

I’ve been using this app for years to keep track of makeup purchases and inventory now that Snupps is no longer around. I wish this app was updated to support more codes from more brands and add more brands for easier use.

### 5/5 — Please upgrade to the newest iOS version

*2022-12-02, version 2.5*

Please upgrade to the newest iOS version so I don’t have to lose all my data when I upgrade my iOS.

### 1/5 — Very Disappointed

*2022-03-20, version 2.5*

I downloaded the app specifically to obtain manufacture dates so I can figure out expiration dates. I sell on eBay and have to provide accurate information on my listings. I tried 5 different products: 2 from same cosmetic line and 3 from different ones. Every single one said that there was an internal error and information not found. The brands I tried are extremely well known. They were in their product search but that was it. I don’t know how this app has any positive reviews. It does not work!

### 4/5 — Missing some…

*2022-02-09, version 2.5*

I’ve been using this app for a long time 
Actually I think there should be an update cause it seems some brands have changed the system of their batch codes 
and some brands’ batch codes that I can check with checkfresh and checkcosmetics websites are not recognized by beauty keeper☹️

### 1/5 — Doesn’t keep photo of product in app

*2022-01-19, version 2.5*

I love this app. I would give it a 10 but every time I put a photo of the product in the frame it gives you. I save the entry, and the time I look at it, all the photos of every product I’ve entered is gone !! It doesn’t exist. And I PAID for this feature to have more products added. Why hasn’t this been fixed ? It’s very frustrating. If/when you fix this, I will change my rating.

### 3/5 — Not enough supported products

*2022-01-18, version 2.5*

It is a good app to keep track of everything you have but a lot of the stuff i own it cant support or none of the brands pop up. I wish it’s something they would fix honestly. Other then that pretty decent.

### 3/5 — Please fix the bugs in the app

*2022-01-16, version 2.5*

I love this app and paid for it. Recently it gives out an error and I know it's something in the backend did not connect with the database. I'm a web developer and this makes me feel uncomfortable both personal and professionally. Please fix it 🥲!

### 3/5 — Why isn’t it working anymore?

*2022-01-03, version 2.5*

I’ve used this app for over a year and my FAVORITE part was the batch codes but now they don’t work. It always says “internal service error.” I’m SO UPSET! Please give us an update as to why this app is no longer working- I paid for it and have loved using it. There’s nothing else like it.
