Great layout & data storage, but needs work on scanner
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
Used to bee a good app
Fantastic app for inventory.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Nest Egg!
Bad design software
Says it will print labels, requires Cloud subscription
Keine Synchronisation, kein Dropbox (obwohl gekauft)
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.

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.
The best of all available

I’ve had it
Powerful but dated and beginning to break
My biggest issues are:
-Using the camera takes too many button presses, including inexplainably opening the iPhone "sharing" menu. An app like this should be efficient.
-ALL the support buttons are broken, including "report a problem"
-Other menu features are broken or cut off
-Based on the description vaguely implying iCloud sync (a common feature in apps like this) I thought it would be automatic, but it's triggered manually and more of a backup than sync. And it's stored in a proprietary format, so a csv is another step.
-Developers have a bad attitude to feedback and are not proactive with compatibility updates.
Personally, I feel like I sadly wasted my money. I think the features here are generous for the price, but that's no good when they don't work well. I genuinely do hope this improves!

The characterizations and experience here is perhaps more a review of iOS 26 than anything else. This is the recurring annual gift from Apple every September. Alas, users generally are unable to distinguish between app issues and iOS issues (breaking changes, deprecated APIs dropped, new camera security settings, iCloud reshuffle and so on). We ask that users pay attention to when the issues started happening before writing negative reviews, especially in September/October timeframe. We also advise all users not to upgrade to the next iOS major version until there are at least two patch releases from Apple on the new iOS release. The email support buttons rely on the mail app being configured. So, take a look at that to see if you have at least one account configured and working. iCloud support for syncing was found to be buggy for Nest Egg (leading to duplicate data and/or corruption). We cannot accept that kind of experience for our users. We clearly indicate in our description that data is stored on the device for greater privacy. (Please refer to the No signup required bullet point in the description). Any expectation of sync is not justifiable on that basis. That said, we have a subscription based offering called Nest Egg Cloud, which syncs across all mobile and desktop platforms (unlike iCloud sync). Please write to via the support link in the App Store app or via the contact form on our site at https://nestegg.cloud/contact so we can look into any issues you need help with.

Melhora essa visualização coloca detalhes comprei esse app não onde eu tava com a cabeça app chato

If you are on the same App Store account of purchase, you can restore in-app purchases made by heading to More(3 vertical dots)->Settings->In-app purchases->Restore. Alternatively, look for a restore link on the main menu. By the way, if you go through with the purchase, it will tell you that you cannot purchase it since it is already purchased! Please note that this behavior is not specific to Nest Egg and is designed behavior of iOS which is from Apple. There is no app that can get around these flows, and a restore in-app purchase function can be found in many apps offering in-app purchases.

1. Недодуман алгоритм одалживание! Так например в каждому объекту можно присвоить количество, какое например у меня есть, например у меня есть 2 чайника одинаковой модели или 4 короба. Уникальных признаков у них нет, и в базу я вношу как одну сущность, только в количестве 2 или 4 штук. Когда я одалживаю только один чайник или только один короб, то получается что одалживаются вся сущность целиком! Это совсем не правильно, логичнее было бы добавить пункт количество при одалживание! При заполнении которого из основной базы бы вычиталось такое же количество, ну или рядом появилось бы серым текстом «всего»
2. Очень не хватает возможности работы с фотографиями в самой программе! Возможность «повернуть» или «обрезать» фотографию, НО больше всего не хватает возможности «СЖАТЬ» фотографию… так например зачем мне фотография тройника в 3024х3024 пикселей, когда вообще достаточно 640х480 ну или хотя бы понизить в ручную до 1000х1000. Размер базы данных уже более 1Gb, хотя по факту внёс не так много сущностей. Это надо учесть!
Дополнительно хотел бы сообщить о:
3. Возможность изготовления QR кодов - это хорошо, понимаю почему платный доп.функционал, но платить деньги за каждые 15 пакетов не собираюсь, слишком дорого
Благодарю за внимание!

Thank you for the review and feedback! If you wish to borrow items like you mention and mix owned items with borrowed items, it is quite likely that owned items end up getting returned instead of the borrowed items. Generally speaking, this can become an issue. So, we recommend entering the items separately (you can use Duplicate function to do this very easily) so you can track individual items correctly. This keeps borrowing flows simple as well. By the way, if you want to do partial borrows with no tracking of individual items, that is available in the next update of Nest Egg Cloud, our subscription-based offering for small business and teams. You can do some limited cropping from Apple iOS by turning on the image editing option in Nest Egg. We recommend doing image editing via any of the free or paid apps out there that specialize in photo editing. There is indeed an image compression setting in Nest Egg which by default leads to a good amount of compression on photos taken in Nest Egg. If you are bringing in pictures taken outside of Nest Egg, we leave them as is. Please write to support if you still have questions around any of these via the contact mechanisms in Nest Egg or via the contact page on our site at https://nestegg.cloud.
UK Foods
Multiple currencies not supported
Response from developer
The currency in Nest Egg determined indirectly by the language/region settings in iOS. All prices are assumed to be in the currency of the region. If you have a few foreign currency purchases, you might want to consider converting them to the base currency when logging in Nest Egg. Alternatively, you could change your currency for all purchases by adjusting your region. Logging prices in multiple currencies is supported in Nest Egg Cloud (which is a different, subscription-based solution for small businesses and teams) with auto conversion between 150+ global currencies. So, that might be something to consider.
No Export to PDF
I say expensive because there are already cheaper alternatives with this basic functionality.
If this function is added for free (not a paid upgrade), this could be my default go-to app to use for inventory.
Response from developer
Thank you for sharing your experience with Nest Egg. Nest Egg supports CSV and HTML exports. Many modern desktop browsers such as Safari can convert the html exported into PDF files. Alternatively, you can use print to PDF function to generate PDFs out of the HTML exported in any browser after opening the HTML export and choosing to print. In Nest Egg Cloud, a different app from us, you can fire PDF reports around your items and transactions. So, that might be something to consider as well.
Tracking purchase items
Just don’t
Response from developer
You can export your data into CSV or HTML formats by heading to More->Data->Export with or without images. You can also select a bunch of items and choose Email. Yet another way would be print the items you wish to send (select items and tap on Print) and mail them or walk in with your hard copy. Please reach out to Nest Egg Support via in-app support mechanisms or via the contact form on our site (https://nestegg.cloud), if you need a hand with this. We look forward to hearing from you!
