Would recommend to anyone who has similar needs to me, or a shop, maybe? This is definitely the most useful app for keeping an inventory I have found. ### 5/5 — Inventory App *2015-09-25, version 6.1.1* Great app for a great price. Just what I needed for my small business. It tracks your inventory, customer purchases, profit gains/losses, emails or prints professional invoices, and so much more. I just realized that I can do month & year comparison without going back and forth. It was an amazing find for such a low price. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2015-08-13, version 6.0.0* This tool makes keeping an inventory easy. Excellent ### 5/5 — Great *2015-07-10, version 5.2.9* Great app very user friendly. ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-02-15, version 5.1.6* I am confused by Tardive Dystonia’s review. I have been using On Shelf for over a year and have never paid more than the initial purchase price of $4.99. I've entered over 2000 items and have never been asked to pay more. I do know that the app does offer a subscription service that allows you to share data between multiple iPads and/or users, but that is optional and the prices are listed in iTunes. I have found On Shelf to be a great asset for managing my business. ### 4/5 — Good app, but can't use passcode *2015-01-30, version 5.1.5* I like simplicity of this app, yet stores lots of useful informations about my products. I really like it as a good tool for my small business. However, I share my ipad at home and therefore would like to use the passcode option in order to protect my entries; but when I use and once I close the app, I need to restart my Ipad in order for it to work. Kind of inconvenience, but still like this tool. ### 4/5 — On shelf *2014-11-12, version 5.0.9* Great product, but needs to be able to sync with desktop back at base ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2014-11-03, version 5.0.9* I never write reviews usually but this app is truly fantastic! It's so easy to use and customise, and I really love the design and interface. My only suggestion for improvement is to include an option in edit sales to add a different product to the sale. Love this app! ### 4/5 — Great app *2014-09-12, version 5.0.0* Very well app. I just get this couple days ago. I wish the email inventory was more organized and elegant. ### 4/5 — Great prospect *2014-07-28, version 4.19* Really functional app for this type in the entire App Store, very good options. Would change the invoice setup with a better looking one (more professional) and Add a multiple access from different devices! ### 5/5 — Great program *2014-06-22, version 4.17* Few adjustments needed but nothing that affects the program - a note section on the customer invoice would be great addition ### 5/5 — Easy To Use *2014-03-08, version 4.12* The best aspect of this app is the user interface and overall look and feel. I have tried all the other inventory management apps and have found this one to be the most usable and useful overall. This is a great option if you are transitioning from managing inventory on a spreadsheet and seeking a more specialized, yet lightweight solution. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-02-22, version 4.11* I love this app. It has everything I need. Easy to use. I love that you can take a pic of your product right from your iPad. Good job :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ugh *2016-03-03, version 6.2.0* Couldn't figure out how to add items. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2015-01-13, version 5.1.3* I wish there had been reviews for this product before I spent the money on it. It's impossible to use! I try and try to figure out how to do the simplest of tasks and nothing makes sense. I went to the troubleshooting and FAQ page and NONE of the FAQ would help solve the issues I was having. I searched all over and now am just so annoyed that I give up! Not easy to use, doesn't help with inventory at all, and I definitely wasted an hour of time that could have been used to just simply create a document in numbers. I recommend NOT wasting your time on this :( ### 1/5 — Do NOT buy! *2014-10-13, version 5.0.5* Just waisted $5! Does not do anything...would give negative stars if I could ### 1/5 — Unstable *2014-02-20, version 4.11* Getting rid of this app. Always listing incorrect in stock values. Recent iTunes backup blew away all my inventory values. App is hit or miss calculating profit. Going to look for a better product. ### 1/5 — Bad *2013-12-29, version 4.02* App doesn't calculate how much you made after item was sold. App asks for unit price and then retail price but doesn't make a good sale history price report for profit loss. ### 3/5 — Need update *2017-02-15, version 6.3.3* Please take a look on the preferences, i cant change the inventory date, its keeps going back to today's date, ### 3/5 — Perfect! But,.... *2013-07-07, version 2.6* I like how you can individualize each item. Take pictures of each one. What I don't like is not having the ability to reprint a receipt from a sale or resend it in an Email. Unless I am missing a step, There isn't even a help subject for that. Can you do an update or add this to it? ### 4/5 — Fantastic app *2017-11-12, version 6.4.2* I have been using this app for quite some time now. It is definitely one of the better ones out there. Could use a little bit of improvement: ie, customer notes and customer layby options, but otherwise has pretty much everything I need :) ### 4/5 — A gem for small business selling/tracking products *2016-07-11, version 6.2.4* We have used this program for about 18 months in an environment involving 10 users with great success using an ipad. It is intuitive, fast and smooth to use. We have achieved good compliance among users. The newly added sales report (tab delimited file) enables data analytics. This program has put a smile on my face. Thank you developers. ### 4/5 — OnShelf Review *2015-02-08, version 5.1.6* I think the program is well thought out and gives you the tools to manage inventory. The only problem that I have is you buy the App not realizing that you are Abe to use it for one month free. Then you are charged a subscription fee. I don't see anywhere in the information the details of the amount that you wii be charged monthly. Does the amount increase as the number of items increase in your inventory. I like to work with companies that are straight forward and lay all the details out before you purchase the App. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great easy to use and simple *2023-04-06, version 8.1.0* I only use to order from my suppliers and receipt into inventory. Sales are done by my online sites and Etsy. Also like to have my stock items with pictures, easy setup of categories etc. and purchasing history. The email purchasing side and receipting into stock is simple and accurate and easy. Highly recommended for small businesses and ecommerce guys like me with several sites. My stock is mainly boomerangs, soft toys and puppets and gift boxes, stationary and specialist packing material. Satisfies all my business needs. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-01-28, version 8.0.9* I have been using this App on my iPhone for the last two years to keep track of my inventory of books that I have for sale. This App works so well and is invaluable to me. I love it. ### 5/5 — It’s fab! *2019-05-14, version 6.6* Great little app that makes things so simple. Really intuitive to use and also run reports from. Fantastic. ### 5/5 — Inventory app *2018-07-14, version 6.4.2* We are a medium sized prop mgmt comp. and needed to manage our maint. Dept. inventory. This app rocks! The developer rocks! Professional, intuitive, user friendly and very nice in appearance. I was able to import via .txt file so I didn’t have to hand key data in. So excited to have an iPad app that employees and management are connected to. Worth every penny. Period. ### 5/5 — Ian *2018-05-05, version 6.4.2* I have tried every stock control app and program -this is the best by miles -you will not regret getting this awesome app This app is fantastic - it is the simple stock control program that I have always wanted ### 5/5 — Fadia *2017-08-22, version 6.4.2* Great product with excellent support! ### 5/5 — So Satisfied *2016-06-02, version 6.2.3* I am an independent contractor in a hair salon. I need a system to help me track my inventory and sales taxes. This system has everything I was looking for.

If somebody know let me know ### 5/5 — So far so GREAT! *2016-01-18, version 6.2.0* Love it so far, all I have done is input all my inventory and now I can check out how it works. So far, very easy and stylish app when adding item pictures, categories, sizes, suppliers, etc. Definitely worth a try to see if it fits your business.
