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 ### 1/5 — Used to bee a good app *2026-05-07, version 4.2.40* 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. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app for inventory. *2026-03-28, version 4.2.39* 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! ### 1/5 — Bad design software *2026-02-02, version 4.2.39* To import records you have to go through to stages to import records. Only to find that you got duplicated records in the end ### 1/5 — Says it will print labels, requires Cloud subscription *2026-01-15, version 4.2.39* 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 ### 2/5 — Keine Synchronisation, kein Dropbox (obwohl gekauft) *2025-12-27* Höchstwahrscheinlich eine brauchbare App. Da mir Synchronisation zwischen meinen IOS-Geräten wichtig ist, habe ich die Dropbox-Funktion dazu gekauft. Ich dachte damit Daten Synchronisieren zu können… In der ganzen App, auch nach mehreren Neustarts nicht ein Punkt wo „Dropbox“ auch nur erwähnt wird. Habe bei Apple die Rückerstattung beantragt. Natürlich hatte ich die Cloud-Version dieser App gesehen. Die Preise für diese Lösung finde ich aber für mich als Heimanwender völlig unangemessen - als ich dann verstanden habe, das maximal 3 Geräte sich verbinden können, war es das für mich. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We very clearly say in the App Store description that the data stays on the device and not on the web. Please refer to the "NO SIGNUP" bullet in the description. The local storage is desirable to many users for better privacy and from cost perspective (a one-time purchase). However, if syncing is important, we also offer a cloud edition that stores data on the cloud for a subscription so that might be something of interest to you. From the App Store description: "if you want to store inventory in the cloud, look for our other app, Nest Egg - Inventory In Cloud." Dropbox support is accessible in More->Data->Shared Files area when you wish to upload or download files to/from Dropbox. There is a device limit in Nest Egg - Inventory In Cloud -- our other solution -- as we incur network costs, and we need to manage costs so that we can extend low prices to you, the customer. Many of the subscription tiers are priced right for home inventory usage. ### 5/5 — The best of all available *2025-12-27* It’s so intuitive and complete. You can do everything and locate your items very fast!! **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience with Nest Egg! ### 5/5 — Finally!! *2025-12-26, version 4.2.38* I have been looking for an app to track home inventory, and looks like I found it! Can do multiple photos, export photos and data. Yes this version costs but it is a one time fee, not yearly!!! ### 4/5 — Organizing items *2025-11-09, version 4.2.38* Starting to organize tools and other household items, not fun, but necessary. Gave 4 stars because of learning curve. Probably deserves 5 because it is a one time charge unlike the ridiculous apps that charge reoccurring charges. ### 1/5 — No preloaded manufacturers *2025-11-06, version 4.2.38* I’ll change my review if I’m wrong, but this app should have major and minor appliances manufacturers preloaded. Bosch, GE and Breville not in the database? What did I pay for? ## Frequently asked questions about Nest Egg ### What does Nest Egg - Inventory do?
