### 5/5 — Sehr smart und kein aber

*2026-03-28*

Sehr durchdachte Vorratsverwaltung. Einfaches hinzufügen und entfernen möglich. Die Haltbarkeit muss man noch manuell pflegen. Automatisches hinzufügen, bei geringer Menge. Da die Anleitung fehlt, dauert es etwas, bis man durch die Funktionen durchblickt. Praktisch wäre noch, wenn man eigene QR Codes für eigene Boxen erstellen könnte.
Ich habe einen Share Link geteilt. Hier dauert es einen Moment, bis beim Mitglied alles sichtbar ist. Ich verstehe nicht, dass -1 das Produkt löscht , wenn nur noch 1 im Bestand ist, und nicht auf die Einkaufsliste setzt. Löschen dürfte nicht so leicht zugänglich sein. Deutsch Sprache seit dem letzen Update. Vielen Dank 🙏

**Developer response:** Danke für das Feedback. Mit den neuen Versionen wurde noch etwas geändert.

### 5/5 — Beste APP

*2026-03-17*

Vorher sind mir immer Lebensmittel abgelaufen – mit dieser App ist mir das nie wieder passiert.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-11

• Smarter expiry estimation: Now considers brand, packaging, quantity, and category — not just the product name
  • Image attribution: Displays the photographer's name for product images (CC BY-SA 3.0)
  • Expiry source badge: Shows whether the date was entered manually, AI-estimated, or derived from the category
  • Credits & licenses in Settings: Dedicated section for Open Food Facts with links to ODbL, DbCL, CC BY-SA 3.0,
  privacy policy, and legal notice
  • More precise duplicate detection: Now also checks drawer and expiry date — same product can exist in different
  drawers
  • Improved CloudKit sync: New fields synced in a backwards-compatible way, data deletion propagates to shared
  containers
  • More robust Open Food Facts integration: Gracefully handles unexpected data types
  • Failed barcode lookup now opens the manual entry form directly instead of creating a generic placeholder
  • Automatic image refresh when a local image has been deleted

### 1.0.6 — 2026-06-29

• Enhanced Waste Score Tracking: Your Waste Score is now calculated precisely by product quantity. You can also
  reset the score in statistics and exclude previously expired items from future calculations.
  • Smart Expiration Dialog: When removing expired items (via swipe-to-delete in your inventory or directly within
  the scanner), FoodShelf now asks if they were consumed or discarded. Only discarded items affect your Waste Score.
  • Detailed Waste Statistics: Dive deeper into your waste patterns with a new dedicated details view, displaying
  monthly breakdown charts, category stats, and historical metrics.
  • Improved Camera Permission Flow: If camera access is disabled, a new redirect button takes you directly to the
  iPhone Settings. Camera permissions are now instantly synchronized in the foreground when returning to the app.
  • CloudKit Sync & Stability Fixes: A new soft-deletion mechanism prevents "ghost" items and sync issues. A secure
  database fallback ensures all data remains safe and accessible locally during iCloud network errors.
  • Smoother Onboarding Tour: The interactive tutorial has been updated to cover the new statistics and automation
  flows with improved steps that won't get you stuck.
