We also show the differences between Nest Egg and Nest Egg Lite on our website at https://nestegg.cloud/home-inventory/ It is a free app with no in-app purchases. There is nothing misleading about that. Please note that the purchase of Nest Egg - Inventory or Nest Egg - Inventory In Cloud is a separate App Store purchase transaction and is not considered an in-app purchase in Nest Egg - Inventory Lite. ### 5/5 — Pratique-Facile *2026-03-01* Parfait pour faire l’inventaire sans frais pour mes petits projets personnels. ✨ **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience with Nest Egg! ### 2/5 — Thank goodness I tried lite first *2026-01-07* Apparently you cannot add number of items on this app which renders it unusable for me. I wanted to organize my freezer and pantry but if I can’t add a number of items it is useless. Sad that it didn’t work. **Developer response:** The number of items is tracked in the Quantity field of the item when adding or modifying an item. Please note that Quantity is optional for items, and if you did not specify a quantity in the Add Item screen, you will not be shown any quantity. However, for such an item if you head to the Modify Item screen, you can then associate a quantity with the item. ### 5/5 — NeSTEGG JuStAgreeTheBeStICaeeeeT *2024-12-07* SiMpLY, YlûRe Thé BeST « NeSTEGG »…. Thé ShoW JustMust GoOn… FuLLuKeForYourLiEternallyPassing… **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience with Nest Egg! ### 1/5 — Kept freezing *2024-11-03* Was unable to save items. Kept freezing and not being able to continue to add or cancel. **Developer response:** Hello, Sorry to hear about your experience. Please write to us about the freezing you report via in-app mechanisms or via the contact form on our site, so Nest Egg Support can look into what you report. A number of freezing issues in the past have been linked to iOS updates, but we wouldn't know until we take a closer look at what you are reporting and the circumstances around the symptoms you observe. ### 2/5 — Hey, we are in a roll! *2024-06-13* Downloaded the app and scanned my first item. At the current rate I should be finished scanning everything on my desk by the end of 2025. This app is sluggish and often enters the incorrect item. **Developer response:** Hello, Sorry to hear about your experience. Please make sure your Wi-Fi or cellular connection is stable and has enough network bandwidth as scan times are highly dependent on network health. Please write to us about the items that had incorrect identification via in-app mechanisms or via the contact form on our site, so Nest Egg Support can look into what you report. ### 1/5 — Horrible. Does not work. *2023-04-28* Did not capture bar codes. Glad I did not pay for it **Developer response:** Hello CDHORNET, Thank you for the feedback, and sorry to hear about your experience. Generally speaking, if you are adding items via barcodes and expecting automatic lookup to work, the barcodes have to be UPC/EAN. For other data such as serial numbers or URL Quick Response (QR) codes, there are quite a few possibilities in terms of barcode morphology. You can reach us via in-app mechanisms (preferred) or via our site at https://nestegg.cloud/contact with a few pictures showing what you scanned so we can troubleshoot this further. We look forward to hearing from you. ### 5/5 — Does what it's supposed to *2021-12-18* No ads, no nags. Most things it reads the barcode saving you a lot of work. Recommended. **Developer response:** Thank you BubbaJonBoy for sharing your experience with Nest Egg! ### 5/5 — Soweit ganz gut *2021-01-18* Vielen Dank für die Rückmeldung ### was ich nicht verstehe: Man kauft die Bezahlversion und muss dann noch für die Features extra bezahlen? Ist das richtig? **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! We offer in-app upgrades to unlock additional capabilities in Nest Egg. They are entirely optional and left up to you. ### 1/5 — App broken *2020-12-21* Clicking a scanned item causes a loop that makes the app screen flash and become unresponsive. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear about your experience. What version of iOS are you running? What kind of iPhone or iPad is this? Please get in touch with support at https://nestegg.cloud/contact with the details of what you see so we can troubleshoot this with you. ## Frequently asked questions about Nest Egg ### What does Nest Egg - Inventory Lite do?
