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

We indicate that the app is Lite, and that should tell you that there is a paid version and that there will be some limitations. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Horrible. Does not work.

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

Response from developer

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.

Does what it's supposed to

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

Thank you Amelia for the review! Nest Egg is designed precisely for busy people such as yourself and tries hard to eliminate manual entry. We want you to record your inventory as fast as you can so you can get back to living life and using time on more productive endeavors.

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.

Hello BlackSapphire72, The item limit reached message suggests that one or more of the previous download(s) of Nest Egg Lite used up the free limits. Did you or another user of the device ever download Lite in the past? Please write to support at https://nestegg.cloud/contact so we can get this resolved for you.

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

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.

Hello BAR112, Thank you for the feedback, and sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind connecting with support with a few pictures showing what you scanned? That way we can make sure it is a UPC/EAN.

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.
