Great layout & data storage, but needs work on scanner

Really like the app, but the barcode scanning is *very* hit or miss.
After trying to scan many, many UPC-A barcodes it almost never recognizes them no matter what I do. It’s not a problem with how I’m doing it, as multiple of the other free apps you can get on the app store scan codes quicker and more reliably. When viewing through the scanning view, there’s a noticeable drop in camera quality versus say my camera app, or other barcode scanning apps. Kinda disappointing that an app I paid for seems to function worse in one of its key features than free apps

Response from developer

Failing to scan barcodes depend on many factors such as wrong barcode type, damaged barcodes, device limitations, lighting conditions, just to name a few. Sometimes barcodes are right next to each other preventing successful scan. Nest Egg automatically shows you scanning tips when the scanning is delayed. You can also tap on the info button to see the tips anytime in the scanner. See if any of them help. Please get in touch with support (via More->Support->Report a Problem or https://nestegg.cloud/contact) with your device information so we can look into what you experience. We will be happy to troubleshoot this with you.

Used to bee a good app

I used the app for several years until I ran into what feels like fraud by the developers: I tried to restore my in-app purchases on a new iPhone and couldn’t — I keep getting a message saying it’s not possible. I hope the developers have noticeably improved their financial situation thanks to my purchases. UPD: Credit where it’s due — after I published this review, the developer contacted me fairly quickly. But that’s essentially where it ended. After almost half a day of correspondence, it became clear that even the developer himself was unable to solve the issue, and in the end he simply referred me to Apple’s support website. By the way, I couldn’t find a solution there either. My conclusion is simple: delete the app, avoid this developer, and find an application with fewer bugs.

Make sure you are signed in to the app store account of purchase when restoring. Please get in touch with Nest Egg Support with the exact details of what you are seeing, so we can troubleshoot this with you. If you tap on the discussion bubble in the main menu, you will see the support options. This option will allow you to attach the screenshot of the error you see. This is the preferred way to get in touch. Alternatively, you can head to https://nestegg.cloud/contact to contact us on our website.

Fantastic app for inventory.

I purchased this app some time ago and have been using it to maintain a catalog of my items, making it easy to locate them when I store them in boxes. I really appreciate that you offer the app as a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your experience with Nest Egg!

Bad design software

To import records you have to go through to stages to import records. Only to find that you got duplicated records in the end

Response from developer

Did you import the same data more than once? Nest Egg generates Unimported archive files that should be used when there is an error in the middle of the import instead of using the original import files.

Says it will print labels, requires Cloud subscription

In the description of this app, it says that it prints labels. However, if you attempt to print a label, it will tell you that you must download the nest egg cloud version which is $85 a year, which I might be willing to pay, except that it was not advertised as such
