If I didn't need to have my inventory saved online.

Another membership app. It's a bait and switch app. Sure, you can take the basic list your items, part, but to really work correctly, you must buy a monthly or yearly membership, that is not mentioned in their description.

Requires a continuous internet connection to work. Barcode database has most of the major "see their commercials on TV" brands, but nothing I could find from Sam's Club or Publix - which is about 90% of my inventory. The "+1" way to add count to inventory is clunky but it works, however the "+5" and others is intermittent at best. Did I mention that it makes me log in every 30 seconds or so? Every time your internet connection isn't perfectly smooth and continuous you have to log in again to do ANYTHING. Doesn't even remember my login so I have to type it in each and every time. (Storage in the basement? Garage? Shed? Tough luck for you then!) I don't think this app is ready for prime time, let alone a $5/month subscription. Uninstalling. I'd rather type everything into Excel manually than face the prospect of using this on a regular basis.

App works great on my S3...The only thing I don't like is that I can't edit what other people entered into the data-base. For example, "snack pack pudding" might work for YOUR inventory, but, it doesn't work for MY inventory unless I can put in that's it's Chocolate and not some other flavor...

Z70%

I'm sorry but I'm kind of feeling like all the other user comments. It's not feasible to pay $45.00 per year when there are other applications compatible to this for FREE - like the expiration date notification. A one time charge is something I might consider but for my family $5.00 per month isn't worth the assistance I need for food storage.

It is saving my inventory no problem and remembering it. But every time I go to leave app it logs me out. I tried to change in preferences but it will not save the 2nd 1/2 of my email address and not allowing me to make any changes or updates without it. Just a pain was even considering buying the subscription but not if I can't save my log in info. But W / E

This is an excellent program! I have successfully scanned my food in and have been tracking my familys usage for about a week now. I have created custom barcodes successfully and used many other features. I've been looking for something like this for a long time! I love how I can check when I'm at the store to see what I have and don't have. Awesome App!!

Need to download a barcode scanner for the program to work. Can't input your own categories, but otherwise a decent app.

This is just a web based app. If you don't have a fast connection it stinks! It wont save your username or password and it Kicks you off if you have to leave for while. Very frustrating!

Everytime I log in the program forgets my inventory and I have re-scan everything or do something different. Defeats the purpose of scanning my inventory into the program. I'm definitely doing something different, DELETE!

This was going to be a 0 or 1 star rant because the app kept logging me out like some other people. Instead, I emailed the developer and within a couple of hours the problem was fixed. I was amazed at how quickly they responded and how concerned they were that I was taken care of. I have not had any more problems with the app and I love how easily I can scan items into the system. I also appreciate being able to organize and manage my food storage. Thanks!

Before you can even try the app, you're required to sign up for a membership. You can not add or subtract from inventory without additional software downloads. Could not get the additional software downloaded without errors.

This app works great!!! The app is free, the personal inventory is free! The base subscription ROCKS--and is free!!!!! This is the best system I've found! I was concerned that it might log me out because of of what someone else wrote, but it has NEVER logged me out while using it. I love this thing!! I am giving it 4 stars because some of my brands weren't in the database yet. But the app let me add them to it. Pretty cool!!

Logs u out continually. Bar scanner takes forever & then still doesnt recognize pb or a can of tomatoes, not to mention items from the cannery. Then after all that frustration, u have to pay to cont using their crappy service. Uninstalled.

I really like this app. I've had a lot of back and forth with customer service and they answered my questions and fixed problems quickly. The only thing I have had issues with is that every time I try to scan something in or out, it will log me out. EVERY SINGLE TIME. And it's really frustrating because I will walk into my storage room, log in, click scan in, scan the item, and it will say "Your session has been logged out due to inactivity". Very frustrating! Has forced me to stop using it because I'm sick of logging in 3 times or more to try to scan something out.

Isn't what it says it is. Is only the barcode tracker part, you have to use a full version on a PC to get any of the abilities it lists.

Maybe full version will work, but beta not ready for prime time.

Don't like the fact I have to be online to use this app.
