## What is Ownit?

Keep track of the things you buy and the things you already own!
Home inventory management made simple! Just take a few photos with your phone's camera and Ownit creates a detailed list, sorted by category, of the things you own: Brand, model, serial number, manufacturer's support phone number, website, Twitter handle, owner's manual, and video links are added for you—all without typing.

The BEST owner inventory app in the App Store!

---------------------

Okay, you've bought that brand new product. It's the perfect time to make a record of it on Ownit. As soon as you pull it out of the box, open the Ownit app, take some photos, and send it off. It's that easy.

And after Ownit adds it to your Stash, you'll have all the product information you need in one convenient place so you can quickly know:
- Where’s the owner's manual?
- How do I use it?
- Are there any instruction videos on YouTube?
- How do I fix it?
- How do I contact support? 
- When did I buy it?
- Is it still under warranty? 
- What’s the model or serial number?
- Do they have a Facebook page?
- What's the manufacturer's Twitter handle? 

Ownit makes it easy to do all of those things, directly from the app. Ownit empowers you to add, manage, and keep track of the things you own. The result makes it much easier to repair, replace, resell, reuse, or recycle the things that you own—all from your mobile device.

Snap It!
A few pictures is all it takes! More than an inventory list, your products are identified and the information that’s vital to ownership is automatically added to your account. All without using your thumbs!

Track It!
The things you need to know about your product: support links & phone numbers, manufacturer social media links, online manuals, upgrades & recalls, YouTube videos — all at your fingertips.

Try It!
It comes pre-populated with a few sample products in your Stash so you have a better idea of how it works. But it's pretty easy. C'mon, try it out and tell us what you think!


---------------------------
What is Ownit?
Ownit is an automatic “owner management” app that allows you to easily add and keep track of all the things you own. More than a simple inventory management app, Ownit allows you to add something to your Stash as easily as taking a few photos. And once the photos are submitted, your product is automatically identified and all pertinent information that’s vital to your product ownership is provided to you! Support numbers, website and product manual links, social media links, how-to videos, and more! All without the tedious typing!

---------------------------
Why would I use this?
Do you really know what you own? Know when you bought it? How much you paid? Have a copy of your receipt handy? Owners manual? Who should you call if there’s a problem? Ownit puts all this information at your fingertips—just one click away.

---------------------------
What products can I add?
Ownit was primarily designed to keep track of things that you purchase. It can identify almost anything that has a manufacturer and model number. While you COULD use it to keep track of all your handmade wooden bowls, the auto-identifying feature won’t be very helpful.

### 1/5 — Crapy software

*2020-11-26, version 4.0*

On my iPhone 11, the arrow to go to the previous page doesn’t work. Ads appear in the middle of the inventory list. A piece of crap.

### 2/5 — Interesting concept - Poorly Executed

*2020-10-13, version 4.0*

Crashes constantly in IOS 14

No updates in a year (likely has been abandoned)

Needs the ability to SKIP serial number capture/entry
Lacks basic UX features like
* slide to delete
* Push and hold to get pop up menu of choices, like product info

Pictures cannot be rotated later

### 1/5 — Forget it

*2020-04-24, version 4.0*

Seems they gave up on this one.  Regardless, I refuse to register an account just to try the basic functionality of the free trial version.  Dumb.

### 1/5 — Basic app missing download of data to spreadsheet

*2019-08-28, version 4.0*

I was looking for an inventory app that had a comprehensive list of functions.  While the app works well on iPhone and iPad, you have to purchase an upgraded app to download the data to a spreadsheet on a workstation.  I’ll continue to look for another app or develop my own.

### 5/5 — The best collectable program I have found so far

*2017-10-27, version 3.01*

Best feature:  Has space to add 3 photos.  Plus add the info that you have... & this program will find the rest. Also had a question that was answered immediately . Have only been using this for a short while - totally love it. If something changes - I will upgrade my review.

### 5/5 — Very easy to use

*2017-09-18, version 3.01*

This app has been very easy to use. It has a nice interface. It would be nice if it worked off line.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all....

*2017-07-06, version 3.01*

Just downloaded to my iPhone. Opened the app. Start taking pictures of electronics. Overall picture, logo picture, and serial numbers. It started to find the item. Never stop circling, never found, never logged in.... Waist of my time!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2017-06-25, version 3.01*

Like the ease of entering items. Good app.  Everyone needs this app.

### 1/5 — Useless - will change manually entered info

*2017-02-11, version 2.01*

Concept for the app is cool - it does not work in practice. The app will change manually entered data to the closest match (I guess) that it can find - my new toshiba 4K tv was changed to "Apple tv" after a few weeks - I had 5 other items that were changed as well - it even overwrote price paid on a few items. Not exactly something that can be relied on for say insurance purposes.

### 2/5 — Acts weird, delayed imports

*2017-01-14, version 2.01*

This is a good idea. It recognizes your items based on a photo. Sweet. After it identifies them, that original description can change, and become random text that someone else entered, apparently. It correctly logged my dell laptop, I went to bed and woke up to the name changed to 'asd a s' and the serial number I had entered manually was overwritten. Weird. Deleted it after that. I don't want to spend time entering everything in to see it randomly change later.
