Great app
Great app simple to use but a powerful tool for organising, searching for and locating multiple catalogued items.
Entry of data is simple. Searching is easy.
I’m still in the early days of using it and haven’t printed out QR codes yet but so far it is just what I need. After having tried a number of similar apps, this is the one I have settled on. I think it’s a good price too for entry of unlimited boxes.

Not used fully yet but looks fab!
Very recently downloaded the app and paid for unlimited boxes in preparation for a big storage unit sort. Love the simple interface and the advanced features like tagging. On that note however would it be possible to extend tags beyond the 5 limit please? Looking forward to getting stuck into using the app more very soon!
Edit 2 - after now using the app fully and paying for unlimited boxes etc I can confirm that this is fab! Also huge thank you for taking on board my feedback about tagging and making this change as it’s made a big difference for us!! What service! On that note I was hoping I could ask for another change which would help improve the app for us? Would it be possible to be able to tap on the photo of the items within the boxes and the image become full screen or bigger as being stuck at one size doesn’t allow us to see some details which would help.
Edit 3 - thank you so much for actively accepting feedback and included suggestions it’s really appreciated. I just wanted to let you know that on updating the app the full screen picture isn’t working for us though :/

Cloud storage and monthly fees, the bane of every modern app
The app looks amazing, but the developer has to pay his bills so there is a $4.99 AUD per month billing for anything more than 5 boxes.
I would happily pay a once of fee of something like $20 for a version of the app that uses CloudKit to backup/sync my data between devices (which doesn’t impose a monthly fee of cloud on the developer) but it appears more and more apps don’t want to support this model of payment.
Happy to update review if this change ever did come into existence as it’s very clear the developer has made a good app here

Quantity will not update
I would love to give this app 5 stars, however, the quantity will not update after saving. Only way to update quantity is to delete the item and add it again. Until this issue is resolved 3 stars at best.
Nice, but a few suggestions
1. Would like to see the full camera image not the small section that you get, hard to get items to fit in that tiny window.
2. Tags do not appear to be saved and reusable across pictures and boxes, meaning you have to recreate them for every image. I use tags for things like Sell, Donate etc. Perhaps this works in the premium version?
3. Can’t see a way to search or filter by tags
4. A full gallery view or larger tile view of all items or filtered results would be nice.
5. Ideally a way to be able to apply tags like ‘Sell’ to multiple items at the same time.
6. The ability to crop the camera view before taking the image so you can focus more on the item.

Link to iPad question
I paid for the Premium on my iphone for unlimited boxes. I would like to also have the app on my iPad, which is the same apple account. Do I have to pay for premium again? Or can they be linked as many of my apps are?
This app is a lifesaver!
Thanks to this app I was able to easily catalog thousands of items in dozens of storage bins. And? Thanks to the search feature and having pictures of each item, I’m no more than a few minutes between needing something and finding it.
In the past several years the app has saved me hundreds of hours of searching and allowed me to save a lot of money buying things I needed, already owned, but couldn’t find.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback and for using our app.
Doesn’t work w/ iOS 18
Latest update crashes whenever I try to open any saved info. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Hello Sorry for the bug, it’s fix and the app update is available.
Amazing app
I’ve had this app for quite a while and I love how simple and useful it is! The interface is really easy to navigate and it gives me a great sense of organisation. If I was to add one thing, it would be the possibility of taking a photo of the box, so I know more precisely which one it is when I’m looking for an item. Other than that, it’s perfect!

Photos Disappeared
I went to use my app and some original items I entered have missing photos. I then also added another box and entered about 10 items now they have completely vanished along with photos from that box???
A great way to find your stuff!
I am finding the app very useful, I especially like that I can search for any item and the app will show you exactly where it is. There are a couple of things I wish could be changed.
1. When you first open the app it straight away opens the camera, I wish it could just go to “my boxes” view instead. When I am looking for something I use the search feature to tell me which box my item is in.
2. When I print the barcode it would be nice to have the option to print JUST the barcode with NO description. It would also be really great if you could include print templates for popular Avery labels.
3. The export (with photos) does NOT export all items, plus, all the text is messed up.

Good App
Really simple and easy to use. Can you please add an option to the search function that searches for words from the comments section also. I have used this option to detail a brief description of items in my boxes but when I do a word search it does not find them. For me this would turn the app from good to great!! Thanks

Awesome App
This is exactly what I have been looking for. I have a very large yarn and fabrics stash for my hobbies that needs to be boxed up and stored all over my house. This app makes it so easy to know what I have and where I put it and I especially love that you can quantify your items - I love it.
I would have given you five stars but for one thing, when I write a description after taking a photo in edit mode the text does not show up on screen. Once it has been saved the text does turn up in the description. This makes it difficult for correction as I can’t see what I have actually written in edit mode. Any idea why this is happening?

Best organization app I found so far
I have a lot of boxes personally and professionally I need to organize and have spent a lot of time searching for the right app, box type, labeling system for personal and professional organization.
Personally I am using clear totes with lids along with this app and 8 1/2 x 11 two labels per sheet self-adhesive shipping labels for boxes for printing the QR codes.
Professionally, I’m using the nestable heavy duty boxes.
My only issue with this app so far is that there is a limit on the characters in the description for items that does not allow you to easily cut and paste
The other issue is not being able to customize The QR label generation.
The labels are generated vertically not horizontally and don’t know or have not found a way to change this. Would greatly appreciate feedback from anyone or the developer. Once I troubleshoot this, I would be happy to share my system with anyone who is interested as it is by far the most convenient and economical way to go especially when dealing with organization due to death in the family.

Simple yet incredibly powerful
After trying so many storage apps I have to say this is a “Diamond in the rough”! Ability to print the QR codes with label and category (with multiple per sheet for the sides a tops of my containers (storage bins in my case). And ability to backup to iCloud, export csv AND print pdf of my entire inventory (with pics if you so choose). In a future release I would love to put pic of my container as thumbnail (currently it’s my first pic, which you can sort to top in place of thumbnail) and add cabinet, drawer (or allow us rename) as a icon/label for each box (I am printing these “box” QR codes for my cabinet doors, so I can list their contents as well. As is, the app is very flexible! I am getting creative with it LOL

Does exactly what the name says, and does it it well
I was after a simple inventory app to record the physical location of items in storage boxes. This app does exactly that and includes QR code support and essential item functions like moving items between boxes, deleting, editing and searching. Using the cloud feature allows you to share your inventory data across multiple devices, I use my iPad for bulk data entry and iPhone to locate and search.
Bottom line - it focuses on getting all the basics right and doesn’t include lots of bells and whistles you just don’t need. My use case was long term storage and I use pre-printed QR code stickers across a lot of storage boxes and locations. I need to find items quickly using the search function and identify box contents using the QR code. If your use case is like mine then look no further, this app is perfect and worth the small price if you need unlimited boxes. I’m glad I discovered it, great app!

Constant errors and we recognition issues
QR code, when scanned from within their own app, produces “error”: the QR code is not recognized That’s stupid when you’ve just created the QR code. Scanning with another QR scanner app gives what appears to be a partial web address that takes you nowhere. I personally don’t have time to go figure out his to correct this crap immediately after purchasing. I’m asking for my money back.
In addition to this, evidently if you want resolution you have to sign up with github. NO NO NO

Response from developer
Hi butterflybandit, Sorry to ear that you had trouble with the app. The scan feature works with two types or QR Codes: a default QR Code created by the app when a new box is created OR a custom QR Code that you can associate to your box (through creation or edition). If possible I invite you to check that the QR Code scanned is either the default QR Code of your box or the custom QR Code associated to your box. Having the partial web address scanned could helps me to provide you support with this issue. The github page gives the possibility to discuss and find solutions for bugs. Apple doesn't provide this kind of tools. If it's easier for you, you can send an email with the detailed issue to this address: scanyourboxes@gmail.com
Box descriptive text needs to fit in the allotted space
I have been using this app to organize my home moving. It’s useful. I find it annoying that the text field for describing the box does not 1) put line breaks at logical points (rectangula-r) 2) left justify text 3) flow text off the label boundaries especially when all the text would fit were it left justified.
The text field for “in:” and “contains:” are left justified so it is jarring that the first line of text is not.

Additional Features
I want to start off by saying this is the first app that has felt easy to use for doing this sort of inventory thing. It’s super easy to add objects and move them between boxes, but there are a few interface things that could be added in my opinion. First would be a way to sort the boxes alphabetically. My naming system wasn’t fully established when I made the first box and now it’s hard to tell what the next box in my sequence is. Second would be including the description in the search function. I’ve added keywords in the description so I have a better chance of searching for and finding something later. And finally, allowing the search to lookup individual words instead of complete search terms. For example if I have “Cable, 3’” as an item title, it would be convenient if I searched “3’ cable” that the item would show up. I don’t know if there is a simple way to do this, but I think it would help the recall function of the app. Overall I think it’s good, but want some more small features to make it even better.
