### 3/5 — Some inaccurate scanning

*2026-05-10, version 7.4.6*

Just purchased but not sure if I can cancel? A little unwieldy and items scanned come up with incorrect results. Eg Bold Beans white beans as chickpeas. I edit and then when I then go to add white beans it says I already have it. Additionally everything defaults to the date scanned so in order to work with the dates I have to input those too.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2026-05-06, version 7.4.6*

Ver 7.4.6 - I love this app! It’s very easy to use. I love using it to keep track of which foods are going to expire soon so I know what to cook next. That way it makes meal planning easier too. There was a problem with the app for a while but Kasper was very helpful and fixed the problem. I’m excited to use the app again and try out the new meal planning feature. The app and the customer service are both 5-star. I highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to save money and avoid food waste. Thank you, Kasper!

### 5/5 — The best Pantry app

*2026-05-01, version 7.4.6*

Very good

### 5/5 — Always updating

*2026-04-19, version 7.4.4*

Always taking input and updating. I loved that I could scan a recipe page and input it to my recipe list but couldn’t search. Now I can SEARCH those inputted recipes! I can even generate recipe from things I have on had.
Definitely a goldmine find!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-04-18, version 7.4.4*

Best discovery I made this past year!  Love keeping my food organized and using it to get meal ideas with what I have on hand!  Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Long-Time User

*2026-03-22, version 7.4.3*

Appreciate the app’s flexibility in creating additional categories, lists and storage locations.

Highly recommended!

### 1/5 — Great concept, disappointing execution

*2026-03-15, version 7.4.3*

Really irritated that I paid for this app. Almost feel ripped off. Adding food to the inventory is extremely clunky and time-consuming. When scanning barcodes, expiration dates are never correct (almost everything defaults to expiring today). If I have my fridge list open as I’m scanning then why are the items being added to the pantry??? The minute I added a custom category to the category list, all other default categories disappeared and won’t come back. I didn’t even get through the 15 items on the top shelf of my refrigerator before giving up. It would literally take all day to build an accurate inventory of the food in my house.  Was really excited to try this out but ended up being a huge letdown.

### 5/5 — Invaluable for stock control.

*2026-02-26, version 7.4.0*

I use this mainly for my freezer items and find it great for knowing exactly what’s in my freezer. However, it obviously only works if you keep it up to date!

### 5/5 — Spot on

*2026-02-08, version 7.3.2*

Good barcode reader

### 2/5 — Da migliorare

*2026-02-07, version 7.3.2*

Ancora non idoneo al mercato italiano: con la scansione dei codici a barre viene riconosciuto il 3% dei cibi… qui di sono tutti da inserire a mano. Inoltre, volendo categorizzarli, mancano diverse categorie. Non esiste ad esempio una categoria Primi Piatti (es: pasta, oppure zuppe pronte..). Inoltre non la trovo intuitiva nell’utilizzo. Ad esempio: ho già inserito un cibo nel frigo (in quantità superiore a 1, quindi si genera un gruppo) e ne voglio inserire un’altro pezzo. Non sembra esserci un modo rapido, devo riscansionare il prodotto?!
