### 5/5 — Nice

*2016-06-20*

This app helps me save some bucks. It also reminds me what's in my fridge.

### 5/5 — No more wasting fruit!

*2016-06-20*

I love strawberries but I forget how short the shelf life is.  This app helps you remember what you have and when it expires.  You could probably use this for vitamins and medicines as well ... Even sunscreen and batteries... to help you remember to throw that stuff out when it's time .  What a neat idea!

### 5/5 — A must have

*2016-06-09*

Fantastic app, really useful to save money and reduce food waste. A must have! Brilliant the idea of the geo-localized promemoria...

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-02-17

• Complete redesign with a new, cleaner interface
• New scanning tools (barcode + date)
• Faster batch workflows for pantry and products
• Improved device synchronization
• Export now includes both pantry items and saved products

Important note about compatibility
This version is a full rebuild and does not read old Food Saver data automatically.
If you still have a legacy CSV backup, you can import it from Settings (Import legacy CSV).
Otherwise, you’ll need to recreate your pantry and product list.

### 1.3 — 2015-03-01

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

New features:
- now you export not only your products list but also the content of your Pantry, to share it with others or as a backup file
Bug fix:
- improved the synchronization between the Pantry and the Reminders app
- with the previous version if you refreshed the content of the Pantry with the Synchronization enabled but with the access to the Reminder app denied in the device settings, the content of the Pantry was deleted: now the refresh is simply ignored with no items deleted, until you fix the Privacy settings in the device.

### 1.2 — 2014-08-12

- Now you can export the Products list via e-mail in CSV format, for backup reasons but not only, since you'll be able to import it in other devices and to share it with your friends
- The icon badge with the number of expired and almost expired products is now
- You can now delete in one shot all of the expired products (from the Settings page), to avoid a manual intervention (with the Syncing enabled also the device Reminders will be automatically erased)
- A new way to refresh the Pantry and Products has been introduced: just pull-down the list to update the lists
- The products notes now support autocompletion, making the process of entering items even easier and faster
- Solved a few bugs found on version 1.1, related to Syncing between devices

### 1.1 — 2014-07-14

- Syncing of the reminders between devices
- Geolocation/Geofencing: the reminders will be triggered when you arrive at home, thanks to your GPS position
- Preferred time setting for the reminders

IMPORTANT NOTE:
When you enable "Syncing between devices" in the Settings section, the correct way to get rid of a reminder for an expired product is to delete it in the Pantry of Food Saver (it will be automatically deleted also from the Reminders app of the device). If you do the opposite (i.e. you delete it directly from the Reminders app and then you force a refresh in Food Saver with the Refresh button) this could occasionally generate a problem with the products list. I'm already working at a solution that will be soon available on the App Store as an updated version 1.2.

### 1.0 — 2014-07-07

No release notes.
