Ajudaria bastante. ### 4/5 — Nicht schlecht…aber *2026-05-24* Im Prinzip eine leichte übersichtliche App. Es könnten ein paar mehr bildliche Umrandungen sein für die Kategorien um die App freundlicher zu gestalten. Aber einfach zu bedienen. Das kriegt jeder hin! ### 4/5 — Simple and effective *2026-04-19* Needed an app that allows us to enter food quantity in decimal points and this is the only one that allowed it. Clean interface. Doesn’t have too many options which is nice if you’re just using it for household purposes. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-03-15, version 1.4.1* Good so far just started to use ### 3/5 — Great App but needs some work on Synchronising with other devices *2025-10-16, version 1.3.4* Simply just have to scan a barcode and the info comes up for you. But the annoying part is having to add photos of all the items yourself, and it not synchronising between my iPad and iPhone ### 3/5 — Could Be Better If…. *2025-09-05, version 1.3.3* This app would be 5 stars if you could assign locations (freezer, garage, pantry… ### 4/5 — Had to take a star away *2025-07-06, version 1.3.1* I find it very difficult to scan items ### 5/5 — Good basic app *2025-07-06, version 1.3.1* Works well. Wish I could sort on expiration date regardless of category so I can easily prioritize using those foods. ### 4/5 — App is good but needs a bit more *2025-07-05, version 1.3.1* It’s a good app but instructions would be nice. Took me a bit. Still do not know about some ? Features ??? ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2025-04-19, version 1.2.2* It’s working well so far. I’m looking forward to having this app alert me to expired products. I entered a few items that were expired and they showed up red. ### 5/5 — What my cupboard holds *2025-04-17, version 1.2.1* Yes, it’s easy to use. No more wondering what is in my pantry somewhere hidden. ### 5/5 — Now more useful! *2025-04-17* I’ll take credit: I asked dev for editable categories and it happened! Why does it matter? Because now, instead of useless things like putting your chips in a snack category, you can rename the category to where they are stored! Got bulk CostCo stuff in a freezer in the garage? Now you know! Great update has made the app super useful. Thanks, devs! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review and valuable suggestions! ### 4/5 — Review *2025-04-16, version 1.2.1* App is very useful and easy to use. But to make some improvements, I would maybe add an essentials tab, where the important food goes to, and when a certain essential food has none remaining, it can be sent to a shopping list/shopping tab. You can also add presets for reminder n days before expiry so that I can add food quicker and also find images of the foods online from scanning the barcode. ### 3/5 — Great concept, but… *2025-04-14, version 1.2.0* Developers concentrated on new to the market features, like tracking item’s expiration date and reminders. I want to see the following features in new version of this app: 1. To have less clutter on the list, please create subgroup folders/lists. 2. Allow to mark item on the list as almost gone and need to restocking next time I’m shopping. 3. Once the item is marked “needs to restock” it has to automatically go to top of the list (or even better) a copy of that item goes into a new category- “my next shopping list”. 4. Set up an automated reminder about expiration date. Let’s say 1 months in advance and 1 week in advance. And when that automatic reminder goes off - move item automatically to the “my next shopping list” Currently I’m coming back from shopping with about 100 items. I got quickly discouraged trying to stock up my refrigerator and scan items and pick expiration date. Put options for expiration date. Like display a numeric keyboard, the dial/dropdown menu with “days” “weeks” “months” and “years”. I don’t want to enter exact expiration date from calendar. It’s taking too much time. Just home me option “expires in 3 months”. And that would be good enough, if it will take only 1/2 second to set expiration date. P.S. the idea behind my suggestion is to keep a list of “staple” groceries on the list and easy to access and update. I don’t want to delete items from the list. And then keep a Separate shopping list. I need to mark item when time to restock ### 5/5 — Zero waste worries *2025-04-14* Really pleased with this app so far. It has a very friendly interface, and seems to be comprehensive. I’ve been testing it out, and it’s much easier to use the app rather than going round the kitchen deciding what to cook next, it’s helping me to make better rational decisions **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! Feel free to ask us any questions or send us some suggestions on how to improve the app. You can email us on support@jojoapps-company.com ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nao funciona *2026-03-28* Nao funciona ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-03-17, version 1.4.1* First of all I don’t like how the exactly copied the original app AND the made it worst they also recognized my water bottle as “light mayonnaise” 😂 just pathetic ### 1/5 — Encore un abonnement premium. *2025-12-08* Vraiment la plaie des apps aujourd’hui. Première chose qu’on te propose c’est un abonnement premium. Nombre limité d’item si tu n’est pas premium. Shovelware. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t scan items very well *2025-12-05, version 1.3.7* Doesn’t scan items very well. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-04-13, version 1.2.0* Simple it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — AppAdvice fail No Lifetime was ever available *2025-04-13, version 1.2.0* Disheartening the number of app developers running app promotions and not caring through with the promotion or making sure they have a working app 🥲 ### 1/5 — Nice idea, but…. *2025-02-01* When an item has expired, the ONLY notification you get is on your device. It would be much better if you got an email notification. Also, when an item is expired, I was hoping that the expiration date would turn red or something to notify me within the app that something has expired. No such luck. If there was an option to somehow sort items that are going to expire sooner, so then, at least you could make a note to use them up quicker, that would help. However, there is no such option. Also, if you happen to enter the expiration date as a date that has already passed, the system does not flag it at all. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We released a new app version where the expired items are now marked in red. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-01-10, version 1.0.5* I tried to add an item and the app crashes - every time. ### 2/5 — Will Not Sync *2025-04-16, version 1.2.1* Tried my best to use this App but to no avail. I tried signing in with email and password on iPhone and iPad, but would not sync. I also tried signing in with Apple and still no luck. Contacted support but no reply, so moving on to another pantry manager. ### 2/5 — Nice idea, but…. *2025-02-06, version 1.1.1* When an item has expired, the ONLY notification you get is on your device. It would be much better if you got an email notification. Also, when an item is expired, I was hoping that the expiration date would turn red or something to notify me within the app that something has expired. No such luck. If there was an option to somehow sort items that are going to expire sooner, so then, at least you could make a note to use them up quicker, that would help. However, there is no such option. Also, if you happen to enter the expiration date as a date that has already passed, the system does not flag it at all. Got a response from the developer that only one of my concerns has been addressed - the expired items now appear in red. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Neu Hoffnung für den Überblick *2026-07-27* Bis jetzt funktioniert alles sehr gut ich kann kategorisch alles anlegen und hab ein guten Überblick über die Vorräte ### 5/5 — Richtig gute App! *2026-03-07* Super simpel, aber mit großer Wirkung ### 5/5 — Amazing app!! *2026-02-17, version 1.4.1* Easy to use and love that you can search the items, and create your own categories ### 5/5 — —- *2026-02-01* … ### 5/5 — Simple et efficace *2025-11-23* Application très pratique et vraiment efficace. Je l’utilise surtout pour éviter de gaspiller les produits périssables, en particulier la viande.
