When using widgets, you can also long press on the widget to edit it and display it in categories by tags.

When adding an new item, you only need to enter the item name at least to realize the default current expiration for simple entry. The date adopts the two modes of "Due Date" and "Start Date". If "Start Date" is selected, the "Due Date" will be automatically calculated after filling in the "Period". Of course, more detailed input content is also provided, which can be filled in according to the item type.

For an item with a quantity of 1, you can slide the item to the left to unpack, select the specific date of unpacking, and the validity period after unpacking. After the unpacking setting is completed, it will be displayed in different styles.

Depending on the content entered, the expiration card can be displayed in a unique way. If you want to share the expiring items with your family and friends, click the "Share" button to share the expiring cards!

### 3/5 — 該若有android版更好！！

*2025-01-14, version 2.0.4*

如上..

### 5/5 — 希望可以新增更改標籤順序功能

*2023-02-14, version 1.9.11*

很好用的軟體！
但希望能新增更改標籤順序的功能謝謝～
也希望能新增掃描條碼功能，謝謝！

### 1/5 — 請問為什麼付費之後就閃退

*2022-10-30, version 1.9.10*

完全不能用

### 1/5 — Problems after updates

*2021-10-29*

After the update I cant edit the due/start day

**Developer response:** Hi，This is a BUG for iOS14. We have submitted a fix version and are awaiting review. Please wait for the updated version to continue to be used. Thank you.

### 4/5 — 美中不足

*2021-06-03, version 1.5.1*

此App介面真的很漂亮
功能也很齊全，一目瞭然
但如果「開始日期」那個部分可以自行修改就更方便了
因為使用起來好像是用期限日期去推算的
可是當月不一定跟期限是同月
且有些東西開封了不一定就會一直用
如果能知道開封日期感覺能更實用

### 4/5 — good

*2021-01-20, version 1.3.1*

在線搜索很好用，方便查生鮮
介面舒服直覺
如果可以加入照片就更好了
項目數量常不小心點到就扣1了，但又不能快速還原，得再進去編輯剩餘數量，希望改善

### 4/5 — Languages

*2020-12-12, version 1.1*

Hope that the app will support more languages, such as English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese.

I can help the developer if you want to add the feature. :)
