### 1/5 — Womp womp

*2026-08-14*

Only allowing 15 products before you have to pay feels soo cheap. The app is set up so that if you miss that there are in-app purchases (I think they are banking on just that)  you spend time on setting it up, and just when you get in a grove—bam! “We want your money!”
I don’t think this is worth the time unless you want another needless subscription. I would rather deal with ads lol.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry the 15-product limit caught you by surprise. There’s absolutely no intention to hide the subscription or catch anyone off guard, the app displays a Free Plan banner so the limit is visible while using the app. I appreciate your feedback that the limit could be communicated even more clearly.

### 1/5 — Needs work before charging money for this

*2026-06-14*

If an app like Whering exists for clothing, how is this an option for makeup and skincare. I spent a lot of time getting started only to find out you can only upload 15 products before you have to pay for more. It’s completely manual and not modern at all. No online search feature for products or ways to hyperlink and import details. Also, not enough categories / sub categories for actual beauty lovers. No shadow primer? eyebrow products? Trying to charge for this app at all is honestly predatory.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that Project Pan Journey wasn't what you were hoping for.
The free version allows up to 15 products so new users can explore all of the app's features before deciding whether Premium is right for them.
I'm continuously improving the app based on user feedback. Recent updates introduced product suggestions with images to make adding products much faster. Categories can be fully customized to suit each user's collection, but I'll definitely take your feedback about expanding the default categories.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

### 4/5 — Yearly Subscription

*2026-02-03*

The *only* problem I have with this app is that it’s a $40 yearly subscription fee. I can get behind a one-time purchase but I don’t want another subscription. 😭

Edit 02/02/26: Super thankful to the dev for responding and considering my suggestion. I reached out separately to suggest other features and they were so helpful and receptive to feedback. 

Despite reluctance, I paid the $40 subscription fee and have been using the app to track my 300+ item massive collection (that truly had no business getting this big in the first place.) 

Let me start off by saying that this app is amazing. I love that I not only get to input items into a catalog so I know what I already have, but there is an option to add those items to project pan and begin tracking progress via photos and/or weight. I’ve taken full advantage of this feature to keep me on track and as a visual boost to keep me going when I feel discouraged. 

Another great feature is the calendar section, where you can track the items you use each day. I can group items into routines and then log them all together or pick specific products to log one at a time. 

The app uses all of these features to help keep track of expiration dates, but also to keep stats on most-used products, price per use, and total uses. As someone who loves to track silly little things, this makes my heart happy. 

I’ve still only been using this app for a few weeks but will be back to update after I get more mileage in. So far I really enjoy it and I do think it’s worth the $40/year, even if I do wish there were a lifetime membership option (maybe to consider for early adopters?).

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing. There is a subscription so I can keep improving the app with new features, fixes, and ongoing costs (while keeping it ad-free). That said, I hear you on preferring a one-time purchase, and I’ll keep this in mind for future pricing options.

### 5/5 — amazing for tracking progress!

*2026-01-14*

I love this app! I love tracking things, and this has helped me immensely with my progress. I like how you can go to the calendar and select the products you used that day, and the streak feature is very motivating. It has also made me more cognizant of spending habits. The aspect of cost per use for each product is amazing! There are also useful stats for empties. I would recommend this app to anyone who is currently doing project pan or thinking about starting.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. I’m so happy the calendar logging, streaks, and cost-per-use are helping you stay motivated and more mindful with spending. Thank you for recommending the app — it truly means a lot.
