Misleading

I downloaded this app for my home appliances to record the serial and model numbers, it says it’s a free app and no in app purchases but when I got only halfway done adding my home appliances, it told me I had to upgrade to add anything extra

Pratique-Facile

Parfait pour faire l’inventaire sans frais pour mes petits projets personnels. ✨

Thank goodness I tried lite first

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.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Nest Egg!

Kept freezing

Was unable to save items. Kept freezing and not being able to continue to add or cancel.

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.

Hey, we are in a roll!

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.

Horrible. Does not work.

Did not capture bar codes. Glad I did not pay for it

Does what it's supposed to

No ads, no nags.
Most things it reads the barcode saving you a lot of work.
Recommended.

Soweit ganz gut

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?

Response from developer

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.

App broken

Clicking a scanned item causes a loop that makes the app screen flash and become unresponsive.

Actually grabs correct info from barcode!

I downloaded several similar APPs to see which one I prefer. Out of all the ones I was able to try without registering, this was the only one that scanned the barcode, filled in the correct info (full name and price) and attached an actual image of the product! I tested it using a box of Pop-tarts. Some other APPs didn't fill in any info while one filled in ”toaster pastries.” The whole point of scanning barcodes is because I'm lazy, and I don't want to input an entire bag of groceries! (Seriously, who has time for that?) This APP actually gets the job done.

The UI is also very nice with proper iPad UI. Maybe I'm just easy, but I was sold and paid for the upgraded version.

Can’t even test it.

I tried to add my first item and it said I’ve reached the limits and must upgrade. No thanks.

Free trial is an untruth

This looked like it was going to be a great app to use. Supposedly the free version allows a user to input a few items as a trial...which would have been wonderful to have been able to give the app a test drive. However, when I attempted to add my first item ...a message came up saying I had reached my limit and needed to purchase the full version in order to continue. Bait me then change the rules...not cool.

Promises but for UK food does not deliver

Hoped this would track my pantry items but it doesn’t seem to work with UK foods. Tried half a dozen cupboard staples and it didn’t recognise any. Shame

Best of it’s class

It combines powerful features, allowing to gather all information desired or needed in easy steps!

Thank you for your feedback and review!

Espectacular

La aplicación perfecta para controlar tus pertenencias

Great app

I’ve just finished reviewing 5 inventory apps and Nest Egg is the only one that recognized my products. Hopefully it will continue to be useful.

Brilliant

This app is a fantastic introduction to the capabilities that the full version has to offer!
If you are looking for a way to organise, sort out and find your household items or anything else that you need to inventory then this is the app you need!

Manual entry

Scanned an item and the only thing automatically filled out was the barcode itself. I needed to manually enter ALL the other information. This is way too much work. I won’t be upgrading and I’ll find another inventory app that fills out the product info from the barcode scan.

Eigentlich sehr gut, es fehlt aber Wichtiges

Die App ist einfach und übersichtlich zu bedienen, man kann eigene Kategorien, Unterkategorien, Orte etc. definieren. Fotos kann man dazu machen. Die Erfassung berücksichtigt den Zweck gut.
Es fehlen:

- iCloud oder Dropbox (oder weitere) Backup. Es geht nur manuelle Sicherung oder Export. (Update: Laut Entwickler gibt es das in der Vollversion als In-App-Kauf)

- Deutsche Sonderzeichen und das Euro-Zeichen beim Export nach csv (das ist letztendlich ein No-Go, wenn man die Daten in Excel weiterverwenden oder ein Restore machen will. (Update: Geht wohl doch, wenn man mit UTF8 importiert)

Mit den zwei Punkten oben würde ich 5 Sterne geben. (Update: Also gebe ich nun 4 Sterne, statt zuvor 2).

- Möglichkeit, PDFs (Rechnung/ Quittung) anzuhängen an die Artikel.

Es würde sich empfehlen, die App auch in einer Cloud-Version anzubieten für Zugriff und Eingabe von überall. Wobei es schon sehr viele Daten sind, wenn man tatsächlich sein gesamtes materielles Vermögen erfasst. Da müsste strengste Datensicherheit gewährleistet werden.

Thank you for your detailed feedback and review. Pertaining to special characters such as the euro symbols and characters with umlaut and such, please note that Nest Egg CSV exports are UTF-8 encoded, so when importing the data into Excel, you will need to choose the right encoding. Please write to support if you need this resolved. Note also that backups can be uploaded to iCloud or Dropbox (in-app purchase in full version) by heading to the Shared Files area. Finally for cloud syncing, please check out our subscription based app Nest Egg - Inventory In Cloud.
