Editing Ability Missing?

Would have been perfect for my needs if there was a way to erase or edit incorrect entry. I have to find another form.

Crashes every few mins and you lose everything

Don’t do it. You spend so long taking inventory of your cupboards and you start adding it to the app and it crashes every few minutes and you have to start again. Mine crashed 3 times in 5 minutes

No longer works

It used to be a great app and now for some odd reason it crashes after 30 seconds. Will have to replace the poor thing
