When I returned to the application, the data was lost. The backup was lost and all of the weights for every item and the dimensions were completely erased. I believe I put in hours into creating the list and it's a shame. It was helpful when I created them and I was able to share them. ### 5/5 — Still a great app *2025-01-30* I’ve used this app for a long time for everything from hiking/camping gear, tech gear, clothing, camera gear, etc. It is a workhorse app that really helps keep you organized and inventoried! I’ve been using on all the various releases of iOS and iPadOS, including current 18.3, and across many generations and models of iPads and iPhones! **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Invaluable tool!! *2024-02-07* Best app for planning and keeping inventory on your gear. Highly recommend it to anyone whom hikes, travels and camps. Go with the pro version you will or regret it. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2020-12-24* The app is amazing for thru hikers who want to record the weight of their gear and compare it future of past gear. I have very peice of gear I now own on the app (weight, name, photo, and details) A few things to make it better would be to make it say gram, ounce, and pound all together rather than having to convert your whole list. Because most hikers weigh every item in grams (for the accuracy) but want to see the lost in ounces or pounds. I also wish I could re arrange the gear when its in grid mode (And in other modes) I want to be able to move the items in their categories just based one what I want not any specific order. And when I take a photo I can’t adjust it ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2020-03-28* Easy to use. Great way to keep track of your gear and will be useful if anything were to ever get stolen. Solid $3 investment for the Pro version. ### 5/5 — The best app *2020-02-07* I really love the app! It is exactly what I need for my trips! An easy and friendly way to make the inventory for my stuff! Good job! ### 4/5 — Very good app *2019-12-26* All and all I’m very happy with this app. I’m in the process of adding all of my gear. One thing I’d like to see is the ability to toggle between all gear and packed gear in the reports view, like they have in the List view. Really doesn’t make sense that you can’t do that in the report section. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We may add that feature in a future update. ### 4/5 — Absolutely Great...Except *2019-08-04* This app is almost exactly what I’ve been looking for. (For years) However, the only thing I wish were different would be to have the ability to creat completely separate inventory lists. And the ability to change, or add to, the items description attributes. ( i. e. Name, model, Weight). Then, it would be a five star app! ### 1/5 — Missing Features *2018-12-31* Missing a desktop sync through a website and no import feature. It missed the mark to be good! ### 5/5 — Best App *2018-05-25* I use this for my hiking gear and it is very well done. Not only the best inventory app, it’s also the most practical and useful. Also, the way it is customizable makes this a must have. ## Frequently asked questions about Gear Inventory ### What is Gear Inventory used for?
