### 2/5 — Great concept; nothing works

*2023-07-23, version 2.8.2*

CSV import? Doesn't work. Using the exported csv to re-uploaded added food? Doesn’t work. Receipt scanner? Doesn't work. Tedious manual entry? Yep. If you have a lot of time, this app works great. If you pay money and want the features to work, move along.

### 2/5 — Make Fridgely great again

*2023-06-19*

As a blessed mother of 7 I am appalled, Fridgely is not very useful. The shopping list tab is very disorganized, and does not allow simple editing, like rearranging the list items. I’ve been at Walmart for 3 hours before going back and forth to the frozen food section. I am currently writing this review from the ice cream aisle. I’m not even halfway done shopping, and there’s no end in sight. 

Please make shopping list more organized, and I will reinstall the app. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Fridgely App - issue

*2023-05-02, version 2.8.2*

Anyone know how to delete an item? There is no way to do it from what I can tell. Otherwise it’s a pretty good app.

### 4/5 — Looks good

*2022-10-02*

I have just used it for the first time and it looks good. I do, however, suggest that as it is limited to only one phone it means that I have to be there to scan all the items if my wife does the shopping. Would be more practical for us if we were able to share the app between the two phones.

### 3/5 — Good start, needs work

*2022-02-26, version 2.8.2*

Overall the app was not that bad. User friendly and a good visual. I am in Canada and only had about 10% of my items scanning. It would be beneficial to look into improvements in this section. Also creating a feature like “I made this recipe” to then automatically remove those ingredients from your inventory would be helpful.

### 3/5 — No frequency of In app purchases

*2022-02-24, version 2.8.2*

Doesn’t say how often you need to pay the £2.49 for premium???
Every week? 
Month?
Year? 

This must have been left out intentionally, looking on google I cannot find it any info on this

### 2/5 — Ok but not British!

*2021-03-08, version 2.8.1*

Never thought I’d ever use an app like this to keep a check on expiry dates but I’ve been buying in bulk so thought I’d give this a try. 
It’s a good interface and the ability to sync between devices is good. The scanning of items is easy to do but out of say 10 items in my fridge I had to enter nearly half of them myself as it would seem this app is aimed at American despite being in the UK AppStore!

### 3/5 — Needs just one feature

*2021-02-28, version 2.8.1*

It mostly does what it says on the tin, but it would be really helpful if this app had push notifications to remind you about upcoming expiry dates. As is you have to check it manually.

### 3/5 — Best free one far

*2020-12-01, version 2.8.1*

Cannot delete missing items

### 2/5 — Neat idea....

*2020-03-30, version 2.6.5*

So neat idea, but if there is no database to pull barcodes from, no sane person is going to use this app.  I can’t justify adding food items to an app like there contacts in my phone.

### 4/5 — Seems like the app hasn’t been updated in a while...

*2020-02-26*

The app serves it purpose for tracking food. It’s tedious to update manually. It would help to have the scan work without having to adjust information or add it in completely. The recipes section has been out of commission for a while. Hoping for an update soon otherwise I’m not sure I see the value in keeping the app.

Perhaps the ability to effectively scan from receipts or really advanced scan option can increase app efficiency.

### 5/5 — Great App - no more waste

*2020-01-12, version 2.6.5*

No more waste

### 4/5 — Glitches

*2019-11-17*

Overall a great application. It does have some glitches that need worked out that make the process of adding things somewhat difficult at times but I’m hoping they’ll deal with that soon.

### 1/5 — Nice support

*2025-08-02, version 2.8.2*

I contacted support and he said he would fix my problems with the app. Responded very quickly!

### 1/5 — Is this app still supported by its developers?

*2024-10-22*

Downloaded the app, started bringing in food items. The receipt scanner returns gibberish results, barcode scanner only finds 20% of items I have with a barcode. The recipes don’t load based on my inventory. (Example: I have eggs, avocado, everything but the bagel seasoning, tomatoes, sliced bread, cheese, spaghetti noodles, pasta sauce, Italian sausage) it did not suggest making pasta for dinner or avocado toast. The coupon section has nothing but dead links to the grocer’s websites. Very disappointing. No functionality.

### 1/5 — All my items disappeared

*2024-08-22, version 2.8.2*

I lost everything

### 1/5 — Cannot add or invite person.

*2022-07-03, version 2.8.2*

Tried using it for work and got premium but completely useless as app crashes when I try to send it to coworkers. Need my money back please.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-11-07, version 2.7.3*

Hasn’t been working after logging out and back in i lost everything.

### 1/5 — My items are gone!

*2020-09-28, version 2.7.3*

All of the sudden my items are gone. So frustrating.

### 1/5 — Will not save items with exact expiration. Kicks you out of app.

*2020-05-27, version 2.7*

Needs a lot of work. Premium options don’t work.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2019-10-21, version 2.6.5*

When I try to enter the product description manually, app freezes up and closes. Product description is not saved, and I’m using the premium version of the app.

### 1/5 — Deleted my info!

*2019-07-06, version 2.6.5*

After logging nearly 100 items complete with pictures and individual expiration dates, I opened the app again later that day to log more items and EVERYTHING WAS GONE. What a complete waste of time. No info was saved in my account except for my addition of a “Cupboard” category....that is now completely empty. 😡

### 1/5 — COURTS1441

Not good

### 5/5 — Excellent Support For kitchen items

*2025-09-27*

I shop a lot and need to know what to keep and what to get rid of. This app has saved me tons of money since I was brainwashed into throwing good food away.

### 5/5 — Love the app I

*2025-02-17*

I am a business owner I use it for expired product like this app allot but please do add alphabetical and make some more updates to it I already payed 2 dollars

### 5/5 — awesome app

*2024-02-15, version 2.8.2*

it’s an old app so updates are needed but it’s simple and perfect for me

### 5/5 — DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

*2022-11-14, version 2.8.2*

I love it !

### 5/5 — Impressive

*2021-12-01*

Such a well designed and helpful tool. No more losing track of what you have and either buying too much or not enough!! 🙏 Thank you for this wonderful app! 😊

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-02-12*

Just got this app and probably saved my life, I was about to drink a glass of milk that was from 1999!!! I scanned it because the packaging did not look right and it said it had expired on June 22, 1999! 
Awesome app that everyone needs!😀

### 5/5 — V

*2020-12-21, version 2.8.1*

One of the few food inventory apps with an offline receipt scanner - makes adding items so much easier. Suggestion for a future update - have expiry dates based on the food category that you enter.

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2020-04-29, version 2.6.5*

Extremely good and accurate

### 5/5 — Works pretty well

*2020-04-27, version 2.6.5*

Good app. Solid interface with enough flexibility to do what I need it to do. Barcode Scan in Canada still hit and miss. Recipe function doesn’t work but was the least aspect I was interested in.

### 5/5 — Could be improved, but still the best

*2020-03-29*

Could definitely use some improvements, such as the ability to put “no expiration date” and a couple of others. Still, this app is the best one that I could find!
