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A lot of the negative reviews seem really out of date.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.

Great organization tool

Tons of totes … no longer lose stuff

Bait & Switch

In order to use the app, you must buy their QR code labels. There is no option to assign custom box numbers or anything. If you don’t buy and use their proprietary labels, you can’t use the app…

pretty solid

love totescan and using this, but no longer able to scan barcodes to add an item. it just immediately closes the app. everything else is great though.

Ok, but needs work

I’m using these to catalog my comic boxes and have a number of places this app needs updates. If they fixed these issues it would be pretty solid.

1-Most importantly you can’t manually organize your items.

2-Saving the item after entry takes an honest 5 secs. If you’re cataloging 100 or more items you’re wasting at least 9 minutes total just waiting for entries to save. This is NOT due to wifi or internet service location. This is the app taking too long to store the data.

3-You can’t print your tote list at your convenience. You have to email a request for your list. This is just weird and not helpful.

4-Once you scan a label it can’t be removed from your tote list without permanently deleting it. Weird.

Good But needs a few revisions

Love that I can organize my totes and , add pictures, and love that if you have a barcode it will search and find the item if it is available, however, I do not like that I cannot print out a hard copy of my inventory myself ( it does have the option for you to request your inventory be emailed to you) not very good if you are adding and removing items from
Your totes frequently and need an updated copy. Also, would love to be able to scroll through the pictures. Also, would like more freedom in editing the size of the labels..I purchased the 4x6 labels and then found that they didn’t fit quite like I wanted them to and decided that I would rather have a sleeve to put the QR code into so that I could change the totes out if needed, so would like to have more freedom with that. It would also be nice if you could choose which heading would be priority when seeing your totes listed…

Great App - Room for improvement , Developers do listen to its users on future ideas

This is a great app, does have room for improvement, but the develops listen, and response time for support is fast !!

Clunky, poorly designed

I can’t be bothered. Its interface design is terrible- not user friendly, unable to share on my desktop/laptop. No thanks.

Loving the App! Organizing Made Easy

I just started using this system last night, - putting away Halloween Decor and getting Thanksgiving/Christmas out - and am thoroughly impressed. But what’s more impressive is I came here to offer a review and feedback and noticed that MANY of the other suggestions in other reviews have already been implemented by the developer. Kudos!

FEEDBACK: It would be helpful if the consumer could have an option to color code their tote codes/names, as shown in the My Totes List. For instance: Red could indicate the tote is filled to capacity. Green could indicate there is still space available for things to be added. Perhaps even Blue to indicate that a box is ready for moving/shipping.

Otherwise, I’d give this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. It’s been a HUGE help!

SECOND EDIT: Still LOVING this app/system. One more request to make it perfection: An IN/OUT toggle switch on each item. For example: This could be used for instances of holiday decor. Think ornaments . . . It would be amazing to be able to mark the contents as “out” once unpacked and on the tree. Then, at the end of the season, to be able to mark each ornament as “in” so you are sure you aren’t missing anything.

Bonus: To be able to mark the entire contents as “in” or “out,” either all at once, or individually.

Love it

Great buy

Best thing since sliced bread

If I could give a 10 star I would. I have lots of holiday decorations. I now know where everything is. If I am looking for one certain item I can ask my app and it will tell me what location, what shelf, which box and then show me pics inside the box. I now have labeled every box in every closet (not just decorations but books, clothes, and even junk) Nothing will ever be lost again.

Review, bug report & feature request

Been using the app for a few days and like it for its simplicity.
Bug 1: If I enter the quantity greater than 1 and add a photo after, the quantity goes to 1.
Bug 2: The number of items listed in the tote description does not take into account the quantity you enter for an item. Example: if I enter plates, bowls, and mugs and I have 3 of each, the tote details says 3 items even though there’s 9 pieces.
Feature request: When listing the Totes, please add the number of items/total items in the tote to the line with the XXXXX identifier.

Game changer!

How often have we all said “I have one of those, I just don’t know where I put it”? That never happens to me now. I know exactly where I store things. ToteScans has been a game changer for me! The labels are not just for totes and storage bins. I have one on each of my closets as well as my outside storage unit. The app works perfectly too. I give ToteScans 10 stars.

Why do you need my email?!

Okay so I didn't like that I needed to give you my email and it required a confirmation code, but I did it anyways... but then the code either takes forever or just didn't send. I'm not trying to deal with all this hassle for an app that doesn't need to be online.

Items Disappear from App

This worked great for a good while but now all the items added from several of my totes are no longer in the app.

How did this pass AppStore review?

You cannot use the app unless you purchase their proprietary labels in-app.
