### 4/5 — It works and values privacy, but the price..

*2024-08-27*

This app works and almost fulfills everything you could want out of a pantry tracking application. The only thing it’s missing is the ability to track how much of the items are available. Without this, it can’t really be called a pantry tracker. As of now, it’s just an expiration date tracker.

Many other pantry apps out there track user data. Some track a lot of data, others collect a little data that is not linked to user identity, and then others like this app collect no user data at all. I personally value the apps that don’t track user identity. Collecting user data seems harmless or even helpful at first. However anyone who has paid attention to companies like Google, Facebook, etc should know that user data is valuable and should not be trusted to organizations that you don’t trust.

Lastly, I haven’t fully explored how far this app’s free service can be used. But, there are constant pop-ups to subscribe. The suggested prices are way too high for what this app offers.
There is no offer to permanently purchase this apps full services. The subscription cost is $20/year. This seems a bit much for an expiration date tracker. The app calls itself Mr.Fridge but I can’t actually use this app to check the stock of my fridge or pantry, only the upcoming expiration dates of items. Even if it could do that, I can’t see the justification for a yearly subscription for any service like this. Only a one-time payment seems appropriate.

**Developer response:** Hello,

I really appreciate your feedback. We will continually strive to not tracking unneccessary user data as we feel it's a persons right. Please download our latest updates which now includes many more new features included within the subscription price, like recipe generation, family sharing and smart shopping list generation. We feel brand new features like this will make the price much more meaningful.

I hope you will consider using Fridge Buddy again soon, thank you again!
