What's New in Pantry & Fridge

2.35.1

October 28, 2026

Undo a consume, throw away or delete in one tap, and come back right where you left off. Improved • Consume, Throw Away and Delete now act at once and show an Undo button, so a wrong tap is easy to take back. You can also shake to undo. • FridgeBuddy reopens on the tab and shopping list you were using, even after iOS closed it in the background. • Export as CSV in Settings writes dates the same way in every region, and Excel shows accents correctly. • Storage widgets use FridgeBuddy’s orange and show the Opened list’s icon. Fixed • Deleting a storage that still has items now asks first. • Small fixes across the app, such as a clear message when a search finds nothing.

Sharing the app

Can’t add family members to my inventory list.

Response from developer

Hi Melendev, thank you for the feedback and I'm sorry sharing didn't work for you. I've just released an update (2.30.2) that fixes several issues with household invites and can repair share links that previously failed. Please update the app and send your family a fresh invite link. If they still can't join after that, email me at feedback@cafournier.com and I'll investigate what's going wrong. Charles

Good organization, but keeps closing

I’m loving the organization I have with this app, I can track what’s in my pantry and fridge, and know exactly what I need to use before it expires. It also gives recipe recommendations based on what you have in stock. However, the app CONSISTENTLY shuts down while I’m trying to use it. Especially when marking items “consumed”, it just closes and I have to start over. Hoping for a solution to that, soon.

Response from developer

Hi rweaver9, thank you for the kind words and I'm sorry about the crashes when marking items as consumed. I'd really like to fix this for you. Could you send me an email at feedback@cafournier.com with your device model and iOS version? Please also make sure you're on the latest version, as I've been working on stability. Thanks for your patience, Charles

Letztes Update hat alles gelöscht

Seit der Umstellung von der Familiennutzung auf den „Haushalt“ sind bei uns alle Daten weg und man kann auch nicht mehr zusammen connecten. Der link funktioniert nicht. Schade. Somit ist die App für uns unbrauchbar geworden. Jahresabbo gekündigt und App gelöscht.

Response from developer

Hallo Michn, es tut mir sehr leid für die Probleme nach dem letzten Update. Mit der neuen Version wurden die Daten auf das neue „Haushalt“-System migriert. Dabei können alte geteilte Listen leider nicht mehr wie zuvor funktionieren; stattdessen muss der neue Haushalt erneut geteilt werden. In vielen Fällen sind die Daten nicht endgültig verloren, sondern müssen über den neuen Haushalt wieder korrekt verknüpft werden. Bitte schreiben Sie mir an feedback@cafournier.com, damit ich mir Ihren Fall genauer ansehen und Ihnen beim Wiederherstellen bzw. erneuten Teilen helfen kann. Charles

L’appli dont je rêvais

C’est l’appli que j’aurai aimé connaître plus tôt. Ça me permet d’éviter le gaspillage alimentaire grâce aux rappels et à la facilité d’utilisation. Merci bcp pour l’interface simple et le coût qui reste très bas quand on veut soutenir

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup pour ce super commentaire ! Je suis ravi que l'application vous aide à éviter le gaspillage au quotidien. Charles

Aggressive Monetization. Money.

Pantry inventory? Not free. Pay $70. Deleted.
