Decent app
I’ve used the app for about a year and it has worked fine. My problem with it is that I can’t print the inventory. Or save it to anything. Well I opened the app up on my iPad, and it’s all gone. Everything is gone. I have an empty app on my iPad, and when I try to start over, I can’t see the categories I input. I don’t know what happened, and I’ll miss it, but on the iPad, it’s dead.
Update.
I tried to show someone the app and everything was gone.
No, I haven’t entered anything in it for awhile, but I occasionally looked at it because it had original information.
It’s not only empty, I can’t enter new information.
Probably because I had to sign in to do anything.
So I am assuming that they have deleted my account.
No big deal, my inventory has grown far beyond the capability of this app,especially since you can’t do anything but look at it.
You can’t save a copy on your own system, you can’t print anything, and you are at the mercy of the internet.
No internet, no access to your own data.
If you have a small amount of inventory, and don’t mind access only when you have internet, this app will probably work for you.

It does, what is needed - Es erfüllt alles, was es soll
A neat little helper to get your collections organized. - Ein gutes Programm zum Verwalten einer Modellsammlung. PS. Anmerkung zu meinem Vorrezensenten: Wenn man kein Englisch spricht, ist es keine Art ein englischsprachiges Programm zu besprechen. Das hat Woodland Scenics nicht verdient, von einem fremdsprachlich untallentierten Kerl eine 1 Sternerezension zu erhalten.

App is good but apparently has its limits
My entire inventory seems to have disappeared as soon as I hit 1000 items. I’m hoping this will be corrected.

?
Not sure if there was an update or something, but I lost my complete inventory list. Not worth my time to reenter everything.
Works Just Fine For Me
I don’t know if all the moaning about this app is device specific or people not using it correctly but it works perfectly fine for me. I can add categories and individual items within that category easily. The paste function is a tad clunky and I would like to see the photo of the locos from the main list but that is ok.
It does what I expect and want from the app.

Needs work
Whilst an excellent idea, this app reeks of version number 1. Or less.
Repeatedly entering the same data is a mindless time waster - at least in Excel I can copy and paste.
Inability to even edit a category is frustrating.
Should be able to load multiple pictures for each loco or piece of rolling stock.
Also should be able to define the scale at the start of a collection - re-entering the same scale each time is tedious, for several thousand of items.
Support for Australian model manufactures (and other countries) could easily be preloaded.
Woodland Scenics is a respected brand in the model railway game - this app is not a representation of that earned respect.

Great idea “but”
Adding a photo crashes the app. Prices default to dollars and there’s no way of specifying other currencies. More fields are needed like DCC decoder, epoch, running number.
I’m not sure why it forces you to create an account with your email address either.

Up date didn’t work
Your latest update did not fix the camera, when you take a picture and select use it shut down

v24.0.8 never loads
Updated v5.1.6 to "cloud" v24.0.8. Now just an animated circle showing "loading.." but app never loads. Running iPad with v9.3.5. Very disappointed since I no longer have access to my previously build inventory.
Didn’t work
Nice idea and could be helpful to have, but couldn’t get it to add an item and kept crashing.
It’s a POC
This is a very nice idea, but it is someone’s proof of concept, they got bored, and haven’t developed it. Not even rudimentary list management. The Swift meal demo functions better, and would be a better starting point.
Unusable
Tabs often don’t respond, loses data that you do manage to enter and continually crashes. A shame really, I had high hopes for using this app.
Growing pains
Update 10/22/17: I use this on my iPad and iPhone. While I appreciate the fact my updates go to the Woodland Scenics cloud and are thus updated for both devices, I’ve had difficulty with the app properly sorting the inventory. That is, I elect to see just my switchers (one of the categories I created), but instead I get just the first of the three pages of inventory I have added, across all sorting categories. In addition, the app wouldn’t show me the inventory on page 2 or 3. I was starting to think this app was finally unsupported by Woodland Scenics.
But when I checked the app writeup I saw there had been several bug fixes, many in the last 30-60 days. I checked my updates in the App listing and didn’t see the inventory manager had ever been updated. I deleted and re-downloaded the app, then connected to the cloud. Now I can sort again, which for me is great. That is my chief need in using the app.
I am assuming the various updates to iOS just left this app in the dust when I didn’t get pushed updates. If you’re getting generally funky behavior, try deleting and re-downloading the app. See if that helps things to work better.
This is not a complaint, since I acknowledge that I pay nothing for a generally helpful app. After all, iOS is constantly updated and that means the app has to be adjusted as well--again, at no cost to me.
However, in the last iteration of the app, the problem with drop-down menus was fixed--and replaced by a bug which doesn't allow the camera to operate and take photos of the items inventoried.
I look forward to having that bug squashed soon. Otherwise, I am a fan of this app.

Not useable
Program crashes and you have to close the program to add any item. Using this program is tedious. An Excel spreadsheet is a better option for now. It would be nice to have a decent mobile inventory program... this isn’t it. Will be deleting it.
Not stable
This app needs to be fixed. Every time I add an item, it doesn't not show what I added. Also, when I delete an item, nothing happens, and it goes back to the home screen.
GAVE UP
Downloaded this app with great expectations but wound up deleting it after an hour of trying to make it work. No instructions. Kept having to renter the same info but the app just wouldn't take it. I'll find something else.
Can't add items!
Clearly not being maintained as without the ability to add an item this app is pointless. Adding categories works fine. Shame as really want an model inventory app
Crashes
Have to add photos twice to get them to actually add to the inventory. Have to restart the app to view what I just added. The submit button doesn't work very well, have to hit it many times. When viewing items, sometimes there are duplicates of the items and then sometimes the duplicates just disappear as they should because they are duplicates. And the company doesn't seem to look at these reviews. I had to write them to get the last issue fixed with not being able to add the photos at all. They were very responsive and fixed it immediately, but now the app has even more issues then before.
