### 2/5 — Confusing to use

*2025-10-14, version 7.1.1*

Confusing to use no instructions or examples, but I bought the unlimited so I have to figure it out. No Youtube videos to watch.

### 3/5 — Can’t save

*2025-06-26, version 7.0.6*

I’ve tried to find a contact to gain support but have been unable. My app will no longer let me save new items. I have not purchased premium.

### 4/5 — Average to low

*2024-12-12*

App appears ok but updates nearly weekly with unknown and unstated updates which hinder a normal user. Customer service was once good but lacks heavily now.  Their advice was to use a better company which doesn’t speak well for its future.

**Developer response:** Hi there. There is a new version 8 in the App Store. I try to respond to support requests within hours.

### 3/5 — Basic but puts things in plain view

*2024-07-28, version 3.2.6*

Calculator needs a decimal and everything is in unit. No pounds or oz or customization. Maybe you have to pay for those things.

### 2/5 — URL

*2024-04-23, version 3.2.5*

It’s great that you can add a URL however without being able to tap on it and having it take you to the site this feature is worthless

### 4/5 — Can’t figure out quantity

*2024-01-27, version 3.2.3*

This sounds really stupid but I literally can’t figure out how to add quantity to an item. I see in edit where you can change details but not the quantity, I love the app so far but I can’t figure out the most important part!

### 2/5 — Ver 4 not released

*2024-01-25, version 3.2.3*

I can't share inventory lists. I've been waiting for version 4.0, which was supposed to include that feature. Initially, it was expected to be released in January 2024, but now that information has disappeared from the store. When?

### 4/5 — Great app, improving on each update

*2023-12-10, version 3.2.2*

Good inventory app, like to see more features in future updates, like able to add comments on each movement of stock. Also be able to search from such comments in history.

### 2/5 — positives outweighed by fundamental design flaws

*2022-10-09, version 3.1.6*

Took this on a test drive as I seek a new tool for keep track of a constellation of things from consumables like medical supplies to tools, kitchen items, and music gear. 

The UI appears to be nicely designed, blending well with the feel of iOS. It is also fairly easy and intuitive to set up templates, tags, locations, and so on (though I would have liked to see more icon options—maybe including emojis). The data use and privacy policy are more palatable than options like Sortly, which makes extensive use of identity-linked data. The option to buy a lifetime license is also quite nice. Lots of potential. 

However, that’s where the pros seem to end for me, and that’s pretty far short of what an app like this needs to be able to do to satisfy my uses for it. The problems I’ve identified so far, in a nutshell:

• Search by barcode/SKU doesn’t work (exact matching enabled). 

• Data export does not include photos.

• Items of the same type can be put into folders but they cannot be grouped for overall quantity across entries/boxes/locations.

The last problem seems pretty fundamental to the way the app is structured. Inventories tend to be nested nested (e.g., items inside boxes in drawers at locations). Let’s say you have 10 boxes of your favorite chocolate bars. Each box has 5 bars. Three of the boxes expire in a month, 3 expire in 4 months, and the other 4 expire in a year. Each box has a bar code, which you can scan when adding the item. So to inventory these chocolates you would want to be able to track the boxes, so you can eat the ones expiring sooner before eating the ones expiring later, and the overall quantity of the bars (50). Unfortunately, this app does not allow you to do this in a useful way. You could enter each box as an item, use the handy SKU barcode scanning feature, and track the quantity of chocolate bars in each box. And you could add the expiration date as a custom field. But then you will not see the total number of bars across all your boxes—only the number of bars in each box. Moreover, you will have to have a distinct name for each box even though they are the same (other than the expiration date). You could instead enter the chocolate bars as one type of item with a quantity of 50, ignoring the boxes, but then you cannot distinguish subsets of bars based on properties like location or expiration date. Perhaps there’s a workaround I haven’t figure out yet, but the lack of a hierarchical structure is pretty glaring. It seems like a mistake in the basic design that should be at the core of any inventory app. Instead, this app appears to have a flat structure and tries to make up for it with tags. The same problem affects locations: you can add locations and shift items between locations, but you cannot add nested locations. I can add the northeastern drawer of the bed in the upstairs bedroom as a location, but I cannot add the upstairs floor, bedroom, and bed drawers as levels in a nested hierarchy. This again collapses something fundamentally hierarchical into a flat structure, with each location floating free from the others. Thus the app lacks the flexibility needed to manage all but the most basic inventories.

### 4/5 — Decent enough...

*2022-10-01*

It isn't the prettiest thing but definitely has all the functionality you could need! Multiple locations, ability to transfer between locations, ability to view your items in multiple ways (via "collections," "locations," etc.) - it's all there. 

There is a misspelling when going to transfer from one location to another - it says "trasfering" instead of transfer... but otherwise solid. 

Removing one star for the look and feel and how long it takes to refresh/sync on opening the app. Sometimes we have to sit and wait for several minutes before seeing the most up to date information.

### 2/5 — How do I add quantity in inventory free version?

*2022-07-08, version 3.1.6*

I haven’t had to use in over a year and I cannot find where to enter quantities.  I do remember it being difficult not just enter the name and location but going down many steps to enter 1 in the quantity.  I don’t want to use this but my boss does.

### 5/5 — Better then I thought

*2022-06-22, version 3.1.6*

I love this app but I have a question: is there a way to export how much is in stock for each item?

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2022-05-29, version 3.1.6*

Only the issue is I cannot find item from search icon until you go to individual storage and search. Or else you have to scan the item.

### 4/5 — Great, but missing basic features

*2022-03-30, version 3.1.3*

Templates cannot be deleted and templates are forced to use default fields instead of building them with just custom fields.

### 5/5 — Revolutionary for my art

*2022-03-26, version 3.1.3*

I have always had a hard time keeping track of purchases but this app makes that a thing of the past.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ver 4 not released

*2026-03-01*

Updated review.

A new version 8 was recently released a few days ago which now crashes as soon as I open one of my existing items.

Old review: I can't share inventory lists. I've been waiting for version 4.0, which was supposed to include that feature. Initially, it was expected to be released in January 2024, but now that information has disappeared from the store. When?

**Developer response:** Hi there. Version 8 is now available in the App Store, designed for Liquid Glass.

### 1/5 — Unable to restore app after lifetime purchase was paid

*2025-09-03, version 7.1*

I purchased the lifetime license for this app. I got a new phone and was not able to restore the app immediately. I’ve now been able to get it. Downloaded on my phone but it will not restore my purchase of the lifetime license. I would like to have that restored I still have the receipt in my purchase history from May 4 of 2020.

### 1/5 — Very unreliable

*2025-06-14, version 7.0.6*

If you want to use this for your business get a real inventory solution, this app will leave you high and dry with no support from the developer. We have moved away from it and now can focus on running the business and not the drama of the inventory system.

### 1/5 — ABSOLUTE GARBAGE

*2025-03-20, version 6.0.1*

I have spent hours upon hours inputting inventory only to have it ALL DELETED. First time I thought it was a fluke, then it happened AGAIN and AGAIN. Do NOT recommend. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE

### 1/5 — Data Erased

*2022-08-26*

I spent a week entering all my inventory and data. After using the app for the better part of a year, most of the items disappeared. Not sure what’s going on.

**Developer response:** Hi there. Please send me an email to support@inventorylist.app and I’ll help you.

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2021-12-19, version 3.0.1*

I downloaded the app for lifetime while it was free, after the recent update, it asked me to pay. What a scam!

### 1/5 — Crash, buggy, expensive and no support

*2021-12-19*

I did not feel like posting a 1 star review, I took the time to read through the various comments and send the developer an email on support. The developer responded with a very rude email, many of which can already be seen on versions reviews. The app was part of a promotion and made free for indie app Santa on 13th December. There are other apps that do a lot more in a much more convenient way for much lesser. The developers and support for those apps do not give you an attitude for getting things wrong, instead if he had simply offered a resolution and not been rude this review would not have been 1 star. It is the experience with this app, the developer that is 1 star

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

I’m sorry that your interaction with support left you feeling frustrated. That was not my intention. I personally respond to support emails and aim to be direct and solution-focused, but I understand that tone can sometimes be interpreted differently than intended. If my message came across as rude, I sincerely apologize.

I would also like to clarify that your review refers to version 3 of the app. Since then, several major updates have been released (we are now on version 8), addressing many of the concerns raised in earlier versions and significantly improving the overall experience.

The app continues to evolve based on user feedback. If you’re open to it, I would appreciate the opportunity to assist you again and provide a better experience with the current version.

Thank you again for your feedback.

### 1/5 — App kept crashing

*2021-12-17*

Update: I’m just addressing the developer’s response. No one is spamming you. They are just reviewing your app based on their experience. What do you want them to say? The app didn’t work. If you are going to offer a promo, make sure it works or at least know how to address user’s concerns. Trying to get pity, getting defensive or threatening to raise the cost of the app is not the right way to respond. Good luck with your app, I genuinely hope you do well!

Original review: 

When they had the one day sale offering lifetime pro for free, it conveniently kept crashing. I tried many times that day and on different iOS devices I owned. Now that the sale is over the in app purchases works again. Humm🤔

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and thank you for your wishes. I understand your frustration, there was no sale, just me sharing my work with the world and it went wrong. That's on me. If you are still interested, just reach out to support@inventorylist.app and I'll provide you with a code.

### 1/5 — App crashes when attempting to upgrade

*2021-12-17*

When attempting to upgrade the app, the app crashes and closes out. You offer this in app purchases for free. You go to upgrade it and the app crashes. The device I am using is an 13 pro max with current software. I did not try it on my iPad, so I don’t know if its just an iPhone issue. My review was left out of frustration and could of been handled differently. I think in the same way, after getting so many 1 star reviews might have played into how your response was worded. Along those lines though, I feel you thought I wrote my review with malice. Missing out on the free offer did play into my 1 star, but mainly the fact it crashed repeatedly was a bigger factor. The developer seemed to treat me as I was lying. The app crashed. If you share an email, I will be willing to,share step by step what I did that ended in this error. I rewrote my whole review to show you my good faith.  Sorry about the multiple times this was submitted through writing.  App Store keep closing out and I lost what I wrote.   Please forgive me for the way my first review was written.  This is why I just rewrote the whole review. Looking forward to maybe figuring out the problem with the way the iPhone handles your app.

**Developer response:** I’m updating my response here for context, as this review refers to version 3 of the app from five years ago.

At that time, the user experienced crashes during the upgrade process. While I could not reproduce the issue then, I want to state clearly that if the app crashed repeatedly on their device, that is a valid and frustrating experience.

Since version 3, the app has gone through multiple major releases and is now on version 8. The upgrade flow and in-app purchase handling have been completely rebuilt, and the crash described in this review is not present in current versions.

For anyone reading this today, please note that this feedback reflects a much older version of the app. I appreciate all feedback.

### 1/5 — Santa app deal crashed on in-app purchase

*2021-12-17, version 3.0.1*

The whole Indie App Santa thing offered this full version for free but conveniently the bug where the app crashed when doing any in-app purchase lasted the entire day of the deal. Again how convenient. If you never were part of that promotion then fine no one made you. But you were and you conveniently didn’t allow any purchases that day and conveniently fixed it after it was over. What a dishonest scam.

### 5/5 — Amazing App/Developer

*2026-07-10*

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is exactly the app you need if you’re looking for inventory management. It’s incredibly easy to use, highly customizable, and lets you build templates that fit your workflow perfectly.

One of the biggest reasons I chose Tali Inventory over other apps is the option to purchase a lifetime license instead of being locked into a monthly or yearly subscription. I really appreciate having that choice, and it’s a huge value.

The app also receives frequent updates, which is important to me since I paid for it. It’s clear the developer genuinely cares about improving the app and listening to user feedback.

Even though it’s developed by one person, the quality easily rivals—and often exceeds—many larger competitors. Being able to communicate directly with the developer, discuss ideas, and see new features continually added has been an outstanding experience.

If you’re on the fence, give it a try. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

### 5/5 — Stellar Support and awesome App

*2025-05-16, version 7.0.5*

The developer was awesome with an issue that I had. Turned out to be my phone not app. But the developer was answering any  & all questions.  The app is great for inventory, I use it for Hard Drives.  Thank you again

### 5/5 — Great app with an Exceptional Support Team

*2024-12-05*

I’ve been using this app since October 2020, and it has consistently exceeded my expectations. The app is intuitive, reliable, and packed with features that make inventory management easy and efficient.

What truly sets this app apart is the outstanding support from the development team. They are responsive and open to feedback, making continuous improvements based on user suggestions. It’s rare to find an app where the developers are so engaged with their community.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-12-04*

The app looks nice and clean with a simple intuitive user interface.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-04-25*

For now, the application is excellent and very user-friendly. It's straightforward both for adding products and making adjustments. Maybe in the future  adding options when sharing with staff so they don't have access to everything would be beneficial, but otherwise, the application is worth it.
Great job

### 5/5 — Good features

*2024-04-17, version 3.2.5*

Good features 

Just wish I could also use on laptop

### 5/5 — Hugo

*2024-03-08, version 3.2.5*

Thank you

### 5/5 — Great app, but should have Mac App Too!

*2023-08-02, version 3.2.2*

I think this app is amazing, but it would be really useful to have a Mac App! I use my iPad as a companion and it works great, but some people don’t have iPads and this would be a great way to expand your target audience.

### 5/5 — Perfect for solo operation.

*2023-03-28, version 3.2.1*

This is a great app for inventory management. 

It would be awesome to be able to make a ‘parent’ item that contains multiple other items. 
An example would be a kit that contains ‘x’ number of one item and ‘y’ number of another item in the inventory. 

Then by adjusting the number of the kit item, it would automatically update the stock on hand of the items contained in that kit.

### 5/5 — Extremely useful for small business. Founder listens to feedback

*2022-11-22, version 3.1.7*

We have been using this app for almost a year now, and it’s undeniably efficient and useful. If you cannot invest or do not have a WMS, this app will solve most of the problems regarding inventory control.
