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. ### 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?! ### 2/5 — Useful but no support *2025-10-02, version 7.1.7* I went to share the app with my husband, it wouldn’t take my app credentials and then when I tried to log back into the account on my phone it wouldn’t accept my password or allow me to reset it. The password reset link on the app will not work. I have emailed support and they have yet to contact me. I had lost all my scanned data and purchased account. So I had to make a new account and rescan all of my stock. It’s very frustrating. ### 2/5 — 🌟 Updates did not fix *2025-09-22, version 7.1.2* Version 7.1.2 - No change Sept 19/‘25 - Thank you for the update. I updated the app but unfortunately, the problem still persists. I tried logging out, uninstalling, rebooting, re-installing then logging back in but still cannot add items. I really liked this app and appreciate you updating it but could you please try again. Thank you. Please fix this app! I can’t add items anymore. Everything else works fine except for adding items. Now what I plan to do is, instead of deleting or marking an item as finished, I’ll just change the name and other info to reflect a new item I want to add. This is the only way I can think of to work around the problem until it is fixed and I hope that happens soon because I am a subscriber. I was thinking of cancelling my subscription but it had already renewed recently so I’ll try this workaround and see how it goes and decide what I’ll do next renewal time. ### 4/5 — AI update has broken app *2025-09-09, version 7.0.3* App was working fine but has now done an AI update and will no longer open. Just a spinning symbol. Can’t access anything. ### 2/5 — Non funziona più *2025-05-12, version 6.2.4* Ho la versione pro a pagamento, Ha funzionato per un paio di anni , ora con l Ultimo rinnovo non è più possibile aggiungere alimenti oltre che spengersi da sola…ho chiesto al supporto ma nessuno risponde… ### 4/5 — Only records your food *2025-04-27, version 6.2.4* Well, it literally says what it does however, it doesn’t help you make meals see the food that you have might help. It just helps you not getting up to check and see however it’s not calculating meals that you could make macros recipes or anything of this sort so I wouldn’t be interested for me, but if somebody is needing it for that purpose then ### 5/5 — 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 *2025-02-04, version 6.2.4* Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for fixing this app! This app is now once again worth 5 stars. I rely on this app everyday to store my entire grocery inventory and to remind me when items are close to expiring. This app helps me to save food from spoiling thus, save money. It also helps make meal planning easier. I sort items in the app by expiry date and make my next meal from items nearest to expiry. I purchased the subscription which is less than $9 a year and it’s worth every penny. Thank you again for fixing the app! ### 3/5 — Can’t add items *2025-01-19* Could you please, update this app? I can’t add items anymore. When I try to add items, it just shows that it’s working but stalls and never updates. That’s the reason for the low rating. Soon, the app won’t be of any use if I can no longer add items. Could you please, create a fix for this problem? Thank you. ### 5/5 — NoWaste more time *2024-09-28, version 6.2.4* NoWaste more time looking for other grocery apps! This is just what I needed! ♥️ thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scanner never works *2026-08-27, version 7.4.8* I really like the concept of this app fighting food waste is a worthy cause.. but the scanner never works and it’s too much manual work and the biggest problem I see is that doing normal left over aka food with no barcode or receipt, it can’t do that a big bummer. But I feel like the scanner needs to be fixed ### 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. ### 1/5 — Lebenslange Pro Version gekauft - und jetzt Abo zahlen? *2026-01-31* Lebenslange Pro Version gekauft - und jetzt Abo zahlen? 2019 habe ich NoWaste Pro kostenpflichtig erworben. Das lief auch ganz nett. Und seit das Modell auf Abo umgestellt wurde, ist meine Pro Lizenz ungültig und mein Login und meine Daten sind auch gelöscht? Das ist unlauter! 🙁 **Developer response:** Hi Stefan, thanks for your review. I have answered your mail on feb 4th. You should be able to restore the lifetime purchase in the app. Please try it out and let me know if it causes trouble. Best. Kasper ### 1/5 — Ver 7.2.1 More problems *2025-10-22, version 7.2.1* Ver 7.2.1 - With this update, the app won’t accept changes. I can’t change the title nor if the item is opened or unopened. I still can’t add items. Ver 7.1.7 - I updated the app, logged out, force closed app, rebooted iPhone, logged back in then, added an item. I got the check mark but, the new item didn’t appear in the inventory. Ver 7.1.5 and 7.1.6 - Now when I press “add”, it no longer keeps spinning. I get the checkmark to indicate the item’s been added but, the item isn’t added. When I check my inventory, the items weren’t added. I don’t know where they went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Thank you for this update. At least, it fixed part of the solution. Version 7.1.4 - Still no change. I appreciate how many updates were issued but unfortunately, they haven’t fixed the problem. Version 7.1.2 - No change Sept 19/‘25 - Thank you for the update. I updated the app but unfortunately, the problem still persists. I tried logging out, uninstalling, rebooting, re-installing then logging back in but still cannot add items. I really liked this app and appreciate you updating it but could you please try again. Thank you. Please fix this app! I can’t add items anymore. Everything else works fine except for adding items. Now what I plan to do is, instead of deleting or marking an item as finished, I’ll just change the name and other info to reflect a new item I want to add. This is the only way I can think of to work around the problem until it is fixed and I hope that happens soon because I am a subscriber. I was thinking of cancelling my subscription but it had already renewed recently so I’ll try this workaround and see how it goes and decide what I’ll do next renewal time. ### 1/5 — No vale lo que cuesta *2025-07-25, version 6.2.4* No la recomiendo, la compré hace tres días y tras solicitar explicaciones y no hacerme ningún caso, he tenido que terminar resolviendo el contrato porque no sirve para nada. He puesto una estrella porque si no pongo ninguna no me permite explicar mi gran insatisfacción. MALÍSIMA. UN ROBO ### 1/5 — Scanner mies *2025-07-13, version 6.2.4* Scanner geht nicht. Nur ab und zu. Geld rausgeworfen ### 1/5 — Didn't Save Items *2025-06-01, version 6.2.4* I scanned all my items and the app froze and I lost my progress. Zero stars if I could. ### 1/5 — 🌟 *2025-05-06, version 6.2.4* Please fix this app! I can’t add items anymore. ### 1/5 — Database scarso *2024-11-08, version 6.2.4* Su una spesa di venti articoli, molti dei quali di marca con brand molto conosciuti, il codice a barre ha trovato solo due prodotti. Un po’ poco per passare alla versione a pagamento ### 1/5 — Overall not good *2024-10-12, version 6.2.4* I paid for the better version and it doesn’t work well. The scanning is slow, the location of stuff is not relevant. I have only used it for a day, and I’m done. I asked for my money with no response!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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 ### 5/5 — Great *2025-09-28, version 7.1.5* I have amended my previous review which was not very favourable due to issues I was having with limited logging of food despite being on a pro membership. I can only say that the developer went above and beyond trying to clarify what the problem was. This is by far the best food inventory app out there. ### 5/5 — Great Customer Service *2025-09-09, version 7.0.3* This app is great. I use it to keep an inventory of my deep freezer. It’s handy to have at the grocery store too. I was having an issue with the app and emailed the developer. He got back to me right away and fixed it! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-08-22, version 6.2.4* This has been so useful. As someone who does a lot of cooking & always mindful of using any leftovers for another meal, this app has been a game changer in terms of my food inventory. Love it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
