Great app

When you get used to all the features.
Would give 5 stars if/when it allows sharing between devices : spent hours logging on board inventory on my iPad, just to realize I can not sync it to my iphone. Very frustrating.

A bit Basic

I have been cruising for 20 years, and have an EXTENSIVE spreadsheet/s which I maintain for all Victuals. Yes it’s taken many hours to set up. I find this App too basic for a Cruising Yacht. It does not allow you to specify specific from whom you might purchase product, nor add categories. Perhaps for a First time Cruiser this will work as a Start... Further that it cannot be shared across devices, means when I do go shopping, I have to lug my iPad Pro around, instead of having my lists on my iPhone via iCloud. I hope the Developer improves this App, as the Idea is Great.

Response from developer

Thank you for feedback. I think I may be able to clarify some things about the app. As the Quick Start Guide explains, you can add as many retail outlets as you like. You can also add, modify or delete any category you like (e.g. I added Pet Supplies). To save you lugging your iPad to the store, you can email your shopping list to your iPhone (and to your spouse's also, to share the shopping load). We are making changes to the app to make it faster and facilitate drawing down on the products. Sharing across devices is a good idea which we will address in the future. Did you see that you can have additional inventory added to your shopping list for extended trips or additional crew? Please stay tuned.

Great idea, but app crashes.

It’s a great idea. I just finished inventorying my whole boat and now I can’t get into the app. I was going though the app and changed the startup settings to shopping list. It opens up and then quickly closes. I’m very frustrated after all the hard work I did to get my boat ready and now I have to start all over.

I'm so sorry to hear of your experience. Totally frustrating. Version 1.0.23 is available now and should be more stable. We're currently working on making it faster and to improve the draw-down. Please bear with us and stay tuned. Thanks.

Love the idea, but...

I really like that I can indicate quantity by location. But the app is incredibly slow, which I don’t get as it apparently does not require the internet to work. The fact that it can only be used on one device with no ability to share across devices or backup the data is frustrating and worrisome. The search feature is flaky, not finding items unless you jump into filters and ‘clear’ even if no filters are selected.
I hope the developers fix the issues with this app before they move on to others.

Version 1.0.23 is available now. The speed is improved, though it does slow down with a lot of activated products. For backup, I use iMazing which can back up and restore an individual app, as opposed to the whole device. Cross-device sharing is on the list. The search function issue shouldn't recur - I'm sorry you had issues with that. . We are currently working on improving the speed and simplifying the draw-down. Please stay tuned.
