A macOS version is needed *2025-05-28* Sometimes it's more convenient to organize inventory on Mac, so please add a support for macOS. ### 4/5 — Great Application *2024-11-17* I think this a well put together application. Excellent look and feel and easy to navigate. Keep up the great work! One capability that I cannot seem to figure out is how to support quantities of the same item that have different expiration dates - because they were acquired at different times. I think this is a critical feature for individual who store large amounts of food acquired over time. This is what I need to make the application worthwhile to purchase.. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for the kind words. Yes, adding items with different expiration dates is definitely essential and is on the todo list. No ETA on that yet, unfortunately, but there is a (only slightly cumbersome) workaround. You can add another copy of an item under a different status first, add an expiration date and then update the status to the correct one. This way the items shouldn't merge when you do the update and you should end up with two that have distinct expirations. ### 2/5 — Subscription *2024-03-04* Idk who needs to hear this, but not everything merits a months subscription. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! I agree and this is exactly why Supplies offers both a free version as well as a lifetime unlock option in addition to subscriptions ☺️ ### 3/5 — Import fail *2024-02-24* It won’t allow me to import my file from the same app on my iPad’s ### 4/5 — Database Recovered *2023-03-21* Or at least recreated. After losing my database of supplies when updating Reminders, developer reached out & explained Supplies / Reminders synergy. So I’ve restored my database & its functioning as expected. This is an update of a previous q star rating. ### 3/5 — Too cumbersome *2020-12-10, version 2.1.0* The idea is good but it is too much work to keep everything up to date. How about a feature where you can scan your shopping receipt to automatically add the items to your inventory? ### 3/5 — Nice app *2020-06-12* I love the idea, however selecting exist reminder list functionality not working as expected **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! The Reminders list you pick under Settings is the one that will be used as your shopping list. The list that actually contains all your supplies/items is always named Supplies and this cannot be changed at this point. I hope this clarifies things and I will update the text inside the app to reflect this distinction better.  If this wasn't your issue, though, and the shopping list selection is not working properly, I'd be happy to investigate further. ### 3/5 — Sehr gute Idee! *2020-05-29, version 1.3.0* Ich habe schon lange nach einer simplen und aufgeräumten App zum Verwalten meines Inventars gesucht. Insgesamt ist die App schön schlicht und aufgeräumt, es fehlen aber noch ein paar Funktionen: Es wäre bspw. gut, wenn man Einträge der Einkaufsliste in der App selber einsehen könnte. Außerdem wäre es praktisch, wenn es einen Haptic-Touch-Shortcut zum Hinzufügen eines Items gäbe 👍🏻 ### 2/5 — Gute Idee, leider Bugs *2020-05-29, version 1.3.0* Die Liste der Locations verschiebt sich immer wieder in den Status, was die App unbrauchbar macht. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Seems ok so far *2026-07-28* I’ll update when I get more into the app. First impressions are meh, mostly because I misunderstood naming the inventory. Now I can’t change the name without paying for premium?? Kinda crazy. Update: never mind this app just straight up doesn’t work. Can’t add anything. Really disappointed. I wanted this to work so bad. Most reviews I see are from 6 years ago, so maybe it’s just not supported anymore? This sucks I’m so sad. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-08-25* Tried to add items under shopping list, when I hit enter the item would disappear. Tried multiple times and even upgraded to the Deluxe version, still doesn’t work. Wasted my money. ### 1/5 — Reminders integration not optional *2025-03-31* Unfortunately the app’s integration with reminders is not optional. Which is a real shame. It looked promising, but my reminders are organised very specifically and if I start getting random reminders from other things I’ll start ignoring them. Until you can choose to not use reminders, this app is not useful for me. 😕 ### 1/5 — Won’t allow access *2023-04-30* Downloaded the app twice and it will not allow access even though the settings gives permission. ### 1/5 — Needs access to notifications *2022-07-25* Can’t use app unless you grant access to notifications. I don’t need notifications my phone goes off enough already. Another useless app forcing you to give unnecessary permissions to use. Zero stars & delete. **Developer response:** Hi! Supplies currently does not need any permissions for notifications. It does need access to your Reminders where all of the item and shopping list data are kept. This makes it easier to synchronize and share data with other members of your household as well as work with other apps and Apple features. ### 1/5 — Regret *2021-08-22, version 2.4.1* So frustrating that the number as to quantity is so small. Also I hope that they can include types of supplies (e.g. daily, medicine) in the all of the folders (e.g in Available, checklist). You may also consider direct typing of quantity rather than pressing 100x if you have 100 pcs on hand. ### 1/5 — Worst experience ever *2021-07-19* I’ve spent hours to enter my inventory for the household products. Everything worked well. When I’ve started to create a new location and add products in it, it created as status. Everything didn’t work anymore and I’ve lost all my inventory. This is the first time that I’m paying for an app, thinking it would help me. What a mistake. ### 1/5 — App won’t work *2020-06-04* Open the app and can’t close out of the welcome screen, app is useless **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! This bug has been fixed now and will be coming out with the next update (1.4.1) very soon, I hope you will give it another try. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2020-06-01* This app is not letting me use it and it is making me 😡. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! This bug has been fixed now and will be coming out with the next update (1.4.1) very soon, I hope you will give it another try. ### 1/5 — Unable to use *2020-04-11* If the inventory is stored in a reminder list as declared, why should the app be allowed to access my calendar to install correctly? **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for the feedback! Unfortunately due to a limitation in the software libraries that were used to build the app, calendar permissions are required to check if Supplies already has a reminders list and if not, create one. Your calendars and events are not accessed in any way and I am hoping to have this issue fixed in a future release. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Get married and give birth to five kids *2026-03-04* Get married and give birth to five kids ### 5/5 — For the ADHD gremlin in me! *2025-10-03, version 2.8.1* Go to the store. Buy a bottle of hoisin sauce. Open the fridge. Oh no! I have a bottle of hoisin sauce! (repeat) If you sang along in your head, this app is for you! No more forgetting the food I already have. No more „beautiful mind“ ingredient/shopping planning. No more years-worth of hoisin sauce because I can never remember if I bought it last time. 10/10 can recommend ### 5/5 — Ready to go *2024-10-25* I just figured this apt out.Im like spirit what are you trying to tell me?Then a sec later it came to me .I love God 🩷💖💝💜🤍 ### 5/5 — Best support ever! *2023-07-24, version 2.8.0* This app allows me to manage my multiple freezer inventory simply and easily, and share with my other family members. The developer answers support queries very quickly, and is open to ideas for further enhancement to make the app even more flexible. This is just how support should be - first class :-) ### 5/5 — Has Potential - Needs Work *2022-08-06* I love the premise of this app and the overall look and feel of it. It sets out to be slightly different than your typical grocery/supply list app, and that’s great! However, this app lacks a lot of desired functionality that could make this one of my go-to apps. One thing going for this app is the customization and price point. For just ten bucks for lifetime access, this app out beats it’s competitors in its price range. There’s also plenty of customization should you purchase the app. There isn’t support for Shortcuts, so automation is out of the question. Having the ability to add in a item or check if an item is in stock would be fantastic! No exports or imports, should means I can’t perform external analytics on my stock. I’m running Python scripts and iOS Shortcuts to help better track our household supplies, so having export as CSV would take this app to the next level! **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for the feedback. Automation via Siri/Shortcuts and data import/export using CSVs are certainly important features and are planned to be added. I cannot give you an exact ETA but they are coming. In the meanwhile, as a workaround, you can do some automation and data exports using Shortcuts to access the Reminders lists where item data is stored. ### 5/5 — Great basic app *2022-05-30* Helps my keeping my boat supplies organized. Love the expiration date function, and that it ties to ‘reminders’ to alert me that an item needs to be consumed and/or replaced. It’s nice that I can check my supplies on my phone while I’m getting groceries - no more overstocking. It’s not a fancy app that lets you scan barcodes or add pics, and I wish I could edit the name of the locations or move than 1 item at a time. But overall I’m happy :) **Developer response:** Hi! Location (and status) renaming is now available in Supplies Deluxe. To move multiple items at once, you can multiselect them and then update all of them. To select multiple items, tap on the round quantity indicator (or the blank space where it should be in the item list) which triggers the multiselect mode. Hope this helps! ### 5/5 — Pretty great so far! *2021-06-26* I’m glad I found this app. It’s been extremely helpful as I pack up for my move. It’s also been a lifesaver in terms of keeping track of the groceries I have. It would be cool if there were more customization options for the statuses and locations. I noticed that I can’t really edit the names of the statuses or locations once they’re set. It’s not a huge problem starting out, but I can see it being troublesome once I’ve added a lot of items to the list already. I’d also like to have some different icons for locations like a travel bag or emergency kit, or boxed up. Those are really small things though. Otherwise I really don’t have any complaints so far! Looking forward to using this app more. ### 5/5 — Hello *2020-09-04* Hello I have a question how do u add an expiring item and date **Developer response:** Hi! Good question. First add an item normally, then select it and in the actions bar on the bottom of the screen, you should see a calendar icon. If you tap on that, a date picker should pop up where you can select the expiration date for the item. I hope that helps and if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out via the contact e-mail or Twitter. ### 5/5 — Took a little time to figure out, but it’s great *2020-07-04* Can you make it so I can share the entire inventory with someone else? **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! If you open up the Reminders app on your device, you’ll find a list named Supplies there. This is where all your items are kept and you can share that list with anyone. They can then install Supplies and everything should show up in the app automagically. ### 5/5 — Bug fixed *2020-06-10, version 1.4.1* Now i can access the app. Good job 🙂 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
