### 4/5 — Nice app

*2026-07-10*

Very nice app - I wish it allowed a place to take pictures of the products and put a price on each item so if when we put the shopping list together we can get an idea how much it’s gonna cost the whole shopping list we have

### 4/5 — Good app with a critical flaw.

*2026-05-30, version 2.2.0*

This is a very nice looking app but it has a critical flaw which makes it really unusable for its intended purpose.

One of the most common scenarios in your fridge or pantry is having multiples of the same item with different expiry dates. It's almost pointless to have a single expiry date on something where you can have multiple units.

For example: you have a sauce bottle that expires in September, and another that expires in October. It's the same sauce, and so you enter it as two units.

You use a bottle, and you have one remaining, but the expiry date is still just the one date which you would have to edit whenever you just hit the minus (-) button when using an item.

To get around this currently you need to add multiple entries for each milk carton you have, each sauce bottle, each bag of chips, basically everything that you have multiples of which all have different expiry dates.

Then when you use one, you have to delete the whole item entry, this destroys the quantity and automatic shopping list function.

The fix for this is to tie an expiry date to the quantity.

Expiry needs to be a pop-up when you hit the plus (+) button or something. It needs to be a primary focus when entering multiple items.

I get that this makes everything harder but not doing it makes having expiry dates basically pointless unless you only ever have one of everything.

Anyway, this app isn't the only one with this problem. None of the apps do this properly, but this is a very nice app and I really want to use this, so sadly you get to hear me complain about it. Sorry about that.

Please make this happen. Please be the greatest pantry/food tracker.

### 4/5 — 保存不了

*2026-04-27*

保存不了

### 3/5 — 为什么跨设备不同步啊

*2026-02-02*

希望可以使用账号登录同步

### 4/5 — Fast fünf Sterne :)

*2026-01-30*

Ich würde mir noch wünschen, dass die Mengenangaben auch in deutsch bei den einzelnen Artikel stehen würde und eventuell noch eigene hinzufügen kann und wenn man noch Emojis hinzufügen könnte. 
Ansonsten bin ich sehr zufrieden und kann diese App sehr empfehlen, auf jeden Fall für alle die auf Vorrat einkaufen.
Super ist es mit dem Einscannen.

### 4/5 — Great app but lack filtering and customization

*2026-01-24*

Love the app! It’s functional and helpful, but it’s lacking two very important key features - filtering and customization. The items can only be sorted by recently added. Sorting by expiration date, category, etc. seems to be an essential feature to help people track soon to be expired items. Also it would be great to allow users to customize their own categories and units. Hope the developer can add these features in soon!

### 3/5 — Leider nur für Singels

*2026-01-17*

Die Familienfreigabe der App ist lobenswert nur kann ich die angelegten Vorräte nicht mit der Familie teilen.🤷🏼‍♂️

### 4/5 — Looks like it will be very helpful.

*2025-12-21*

Would be super helpful if we could sync our pantry between family members who are sharing the app. When can we expect that update? Thank you so much!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your support! 😊
I'm currently working on that feature right now, it will be available in the near future. stay tuned 😁

### 4/5 — 可否加入更多条形码数据库，比如中国商品信息服务平台，而不只是使用 Open Food Facts 上的

*2025-12-16*

比如我买了一箱三元牛奶，使用条形码扫描只显示数据库无匹配项

### 5/5 — Toole App

*2025-11-01*

Super App funktioniert besten

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung! Es freut mich sehr, dass dir die App gefällt. 😊

### 5/5 — 너무 필요한 어플! 하지만..ㅠ

*2025-10-30*

직관적이고 간편하게 재고관리 다 좋은데 한가지 아쉬운점은 카테고리 안에서 나열된 재고 순서도 수정할 수 있어야 할 것같은데 ㅠ 수정가능하게 업데이트 부탁드림니다

**Developer response:** 소중한 리뷰 감사합니다! Panzy가 유용하다고 해주셔서 정말 기쁩니다. 😊

카테고리 내 재고 순서를 수정할 수 있는 기능은 정말 좋은 제안이에요. 향후 업데이트에서 이 기능을 추가하는 것을 적극 검토하겠습니다.

다른 제안사항이 있으시면 언제든지 contact@tantostudio.com으로 연락 주세요. 감사합니다! 🙏🏻

### 4/5 — 希望可以添加图片

*2025-10-05*

因为食物状态不方便分类，希望可以添加图片直观感受存储时的状态，更便于用户使用

**Developer response:** 这是个很好的建议！我们会把这个功能加入到我们的任务列表中。感谢你的反馈！😊

### 3/5 — Gruppe mit anderen nicht möglich

*2025-09-20*

Eigentlich nett und intuiutv gemacht. Bringt nur leider wenig, wenn ich die Speisekammer nicht mit anderen teilen und gemeinsam verwalten kann. Für single Haushalte ok.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre Rezension! Wir arbeiten derzeit an dieser Funktion, bleiben Sie dran 😊.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Erro

*2026-08-02*

Da erro ao adicionar um item, não consigo usar o app na versão free para conhecer. Depois eu compro.

**Developer response:** Obrigado pelo aviso! Lamentamos o erro, vamos verificar e corrigir. 🙏

### 1/5 — How to review without trying it

*2026-06-07*

It asks to rate it before you have the chance to even try it a bit. So automatic 1 star for not knowing immediately how it works… 

There’s also no option to put 0.5 pack, so I either have a full mozzarella bag or 0, if I don’t want to measure the weight.

You can’t choose food category when you add something to the Shopping list.

The main screen shows the last added items unnecessarily. You can’t rearrange it by expiry date, which would be the one of the  reasons someone installs a pantry app.

Expiry: it says my Mozzarella has expired 12 minutes ago, but the time is 11:36, there’s still half a day ahead…

### 1/5 — Ads with every entry despite signing up for subscription

*2026-05-23*

Who wants to make their life super easy by watching a 30 second ad before you tell this wonderful app that you now have broccoli. And it’s more fun if you also have signed up for annual subscription

**Developer response:** Sorry about that, ads shouldn't be showing for subscribers. We're looking into it now. Thank you for reporting it 🙏

### 1/5 — No connection. No support.

*2025-12-03*

My husband paid for this app so that we would have it forever because the reviews were so good and it promised connectivity. We did not realize that family sharing could not happen for us because we have separate iCloud accounts. We tried to find a way to contact the developer for support and found no way in. So that’s money flushed. And we are not happy.

**Developer response:** I'm truly sorry for the frustration. The ability to share data between separate iCloud accounts is one of the most highly requested features, and I'm actively working on adding it in a future update.

If you have any other concerns or suggestions always contact me at contact@tantostudio.com with any questions or concerns. 😊
Thank you for your patience 🙏🏻

### 2/5 — Ich bin genervt

*2026-02-22*

Ich habe die App für ein Jahr gekauft (7,99€), weil ich die volle Funktionsfähigkeit der App benötige: eigene Lagerorte, Kategorien. Kostenlose Testversionen ohne diese sind nichts, da man sie nicht ausprobieren kann. Wenn man sie ohnehin nach einer Woche kaufen muss, kann man sich die Begrenzung sparen.
Jetzt habe ich Abo, aber kann die Lagerorte nicht ändern. Habe ich jetzt das falsche Abo abgeschlossen? Ist das Panzy+? In App Store stehen nur die drei Möglichkeiten, aber kein panzy+ mit den Optionen.

### 2/5 — Not for me, a beginner

*2025-11-24*

Thought I would like this app but there are a couple of things where Panzy did not meet my expectations. 
I liked the tabs on top, but as a visual person I wish the list of items was also placed in categories instead of a long list of inputed items. 
There is no way to input a half of something into the quantity so you have to input more or less than what you actually have. Ex. A half gallon of milk. There’s no way to add it. 
I would’ve liked to see an easier way to start marking off items that have already been used. Maybe that’s where having recipes would come in handy and the app would update quantities on its own. 

I did enjoy a part of the shopping list. As soon as I marked off the item I was asked to add it to my inventory. Easy as that I knew how much I had of an item. 

The scanning part of the app is hard to use since it gets the quantities by the biggest number. Ex. Instead of getting the ounces it uses grams. 


Like the idea of the app, just not the way it was designed.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback! I really appreciate your insights. 😊
Those are excellent suggestions that would definitely enhance the user experience, and I'll be working on improvements to address them and if you have any other suggestions or ideas, I'd be happy to hear them at contact@tantostudio.com. Thanks again for your support!

### 2/5 — Bietet keinen Import

*2025-09-18*

Eigentlich eine hübsche App, mit einer brauchbaren Bedienung.
Aber sie bietet keinen Import (CSV), und stellt damit für jemanden der von einer anderen App (Cozzo) umsteigen will oder muss, keine sinnvolle Alternative dar!
Schade…

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre Rezension!
Momentan gibt es noch keine Import-Funktion, aber das ist eine tolle Idee, und wir nehmen sie in unsere To-do-Liste auf 😊.

### 2/5 — Lots of scanning errors

*2025-08-19*

I tried about 15 items and only 3 were available from the barcode scan.   Some showed error some - not in the database.   App looks promising - but don’t know what to do…. Is the database just being developed and will grow?

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback and for using Panzy! 🙏 We’re sorry for the inconvenience. The database is still growing, and we’re working hard to improve barcode scanning so more items can be scanned. If you’d like to help us improve, feel free to share more details at contact@tantostudio.com, every bit helps us make Panzy better! ☺️

### 2/5 — Am I doing something wrong?

*2025-08-17*

I was so happy to find this concept is wonderful. Why won’t it scan lots of pantry items? Hellmans mayonnaise? It could not read the barcode along with many other brand name items. I gave up.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and enthusiasm for Panzy! I’m so sorry for the inconvenience with barcode scanning. I’ll work on resolving this immediately. Could you please send a photo of the barcode for the items that didn’t scan to contact@tantostudio.com? This will help me fix the issue faster. Thank you again for your support and patience!

### 3/5 — Good start

*2026-05-24, version 2.2.0*

The aesthetics are really nice, but the UX of imputing items in isn’t as smooth and needs more fine tuning

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-22*

It works great very versatile would recommend to anyone who wants to be better organized. If needed , customer service is great and get back to you within a day. 
Possible suggestion to enhance app would be to have the ability to scan out items when taking items out of pantry.

### 5/5 — Is there a way to….

*2026-07-19*

I like how the app can keep my pantry in one place however it would be helpful as I scanned purchased items that it would add it to what is currently in stock instead of creating a new placeholder. Also is there a way to negate items all at once instead of manually? Like if I was making a recipe I could just list everything I need to subtract from my inventory? Or import the recipe and it could negate it that way? That would definitely be an app to help. A way to connect our recipe apps with a pantry app…

### 5/5 — Amazing! DOWNLOAD 100%!!

*2026-06-07*

I really LOVE this app! Finally I found something that lets me manage my WHOLE household items! Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — very good!

*2026-05-23*

nice👍

### 5/5 — Great app, give us more features!

*2026-04-02*

Hi Panzy team, what an app. Its totaly what i imagined. If I had all the money I would quit my sales job and become your competition. Give us the shared pantry and devices soon! My data just doesnt sync from ipad to iphone. Also adding a landscape mode for ipad would really be great. Waiting! :)

### 5/5 — New user

*2026-03-05*

Great app to keep track of my pantry

### 5/5 — Muito Interessante

*2026-02-28*

App intuitivo demais! Ainda vou usar a versão free, mas posso dizer que até o momento, estou tentado a aderir a versão full.

### 5/5 — Fits my needs

*2026-01-31*

This app works very well and super intuitive. Everything I would want is already in here and the things to make it better is already on the roadmap. I cannot wait to see this app grow. Our first set of shopping is coming up and I can’t wait to see how much time this saves us

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2025-12-20, version 1.3.1*

This is going to automate my pantry so I don’t need to manual do this anymore.

### 5/5 — Family Sharing not active. No support.

*2025-12-03*

I paid for pansy plus expecting that. My wife and I could link up with the same list via our phones. But that’s not possible because she and I have different I-clouds even though we share our iclouds with each other. I cannot figure out how to login and I can’t figure out how to get any help with any of this. I paid the forever price in order to take advantage of what seem to be a fabulous app and now I’m just seriously disappointed.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and I'm truly sorry for the frustration. I understand how important shared lists are for your family.

The ability to sync between separate iCloud accounts is actually the top requested feature I've received, and I'm actively working to add it in an upcoming update. 💪🏻

I apologize that you had difficulty finding support. Please email me at contact@tantostudio.com and I'll help you make the most of Panzy in the meantime.

I appreciate your patience and support! 🙏🏻
