Strictly Proprietary, AND Spam Happy

Beware! You can NOT create room names, bc locked into this label maker’s generic names. eg Converted a spare bedroom into a ChillZone, but gotta use Bedroom 1,2,3 etc. Ditto another BR converted to ClosetRoom. Add: IMMEDIATE receipt of 2 eMails. A much friendlier option → Boxes. ← No relation, just appreciate the obvious intelligence & class employed.

Great for Storage Organizing

This app is easy to use and great way to catalog items in storage totes or boxes. It’s very intuitive so doesn’t take long at all to get the hang of it! Recommending that they add a field to identify the type of container to more quickly identify where item is located (cardboard box, tote, shelf, etc)

Camera/scan issue

For some reason the camera is not coming up. It worked yesterday and was able to scan 15 labels but now it’s not working

Great app for moving

A lot of the negative reviews seem really out of date. I’m using this app to keep track of what’s in each box I pack and I really love it. The QR codes seem like a good deal given that the app itself is free to use. I like that I can take pictures of the items and write descriptions, or just scan a barcode if the item has one and all the data pre-populates. Very handy!

No Image

This app used to work great when I was packing up boxes for a recent move. I took pictures of most everything which showed in the app. Just before the move, the images stopped showing up. Now that we have move across the US, I have to guess what is in each box. I contacted customer support, who did reply, but their suggestions did not fix the problem.
