Love Outlinx!
I recently started organizing our garage and basement into storage bins. I’m learning how to use a crickt machine to create “smart vinyl” removable text label stickers, but I wanted to be able to find out what’s in each bin in greater detail without having to open each bin. Enter Outlinx! The Outlinx QR stickers (I liked the large Nebula Rising stickers) and the Outlinx app are both really pretty and modern, particularly by comparison to their competitors (which I tried a few of). Lots of white space, pretty modern font and colors, swipe interface that is very intuitive. Easy to link a sticker to a bin “note” (where you can describe a bin’s contents and even snap a photo), easy to organize bin notes into room folders in the app. A neat trick is that, if I type a word in the app’s search bar, it knows which bin has that word in its note/description — and then I can hold my phone’s camera up to each bin’s QR code, one at a time, and it will tell me when I’ve reached the QR code that has that particular word in its linked note/description. This way, you can find a specific item in the app, and then the app can help you figure out which bin in the room has that particular QR code sticker and item. Brilliant!
I do have 2 suggestions for app improvements:
- When I copy text in the app on my iPhone, if I try to paste the text inside a note in the Outlinx app, it immediately crashes the app every time. Not a huge deal — just meant I had to retype something if I wanted to use similar text in different notes — but seems like a bug in the app code.
- Make it possible to tap, hold, and then drag a note into an existing folder (rather than having to always swipe left on a note, click the move icon, and select the folder you want to move the note to — which takes three clicks rather than one, and feels less intuitive than clicking and dragging).

Pretty cool!!
I am always pulling bins down to see what’s in them. This is really pretty brilliant, easy to organize and a load off of my back. Great idea and app. 5 stars.
Could Be Better
Should get the job done.
Very Limited Software
I’m not really sure why this app/product had so many positive reviews. Yes, the app looks nice but it’s extremely limited. You can only create notes with text, images, and links. You can not scan an Outlinx to connect to WiFi. I also wish that there was a way to export all the folders that you scan. That way you could create dozens of labels for storage boxes and then have a master list of every thing you have in storage.

easy + efficient
been using my stickers for grocery lists, storage bins, + various reminders for frequent kitchen tasks. the UI is clean, making it pleasing + very user-friendly for first time users. 12/10 would buy more in different colors.
Excited but
The process is not as user friendly as I had hoped.
Awesome, but needs more work
Using this at our shop has been great, loving that we can simplify pricing and product information for customers allowing customers to play an interactive role in our shop. I do believe there a few key functions that are missing that would make this app a “Five Star” app. Please add the functionality to allow others to have separate accounts and collaborate across multiple accounts using the same QR sticker to be edited by only certain people and not just yourself or everyone. I would also love to be able to choose more fonts and colors.

Good but needs a few more quality of life changes
I’m just wondering if it’s possible to add the search function from within the folders themselves and also highlight the keyword within the folder to make things easier to find.
Also if there were changes in the folder by another user. Can that be highlighted so we know what was changed?
Thanks

Organization and life made easy
This is a great app to organize your life using the power of QRCode and a nicely designed app
Love this product!
I’m keeping track of items in my MotorHome
Fun and useful!
I love the fact that you can share the notes with others. The stickers also look good, and they are easy scanned with the app.
Easy, convenient, awesome!
Bought the smart stickers on Amazon and found this app - I love it! So easy to track my storage inventory now. I’m a student a move out from an apartment annually. I got tired of writing on boxes and then deleting the words with a sharpie. The smart stickers are just an easy way to keep everything neat, organized, and stress free. Would recommend it to everyone who uses a storage unit or move out from a place regularly.

We used it for our move!
Made our move much easier and more fun!:) I could share what’s in each box with my wife and post pictures in the app to remember. The app is well designed and the stickers are easy to use. I will use it for other applications for sure.
Great for everyday reminders!
Super easy to use, love the stickers, keeps me on track and well organized!
User friendly app, great organizational tool
It’s like a technologically advanced post-it note mixed with Pinterest. I can record the contents of my various cardboard boxes and storage boxes without having labels that are continually crossed out with sharpies. I can also store images on the “tech post-it” so it’s like a Pinterest board that can aesthetically record notes and thoughts/ideas for house renovations. The app is super easy to use too.
