Prep & Pantry - Inventory Manager App Reviews

This is great for emergency foods. Im using it for the foods at the lease and cabin

Scan two items and then it force closes after every save. I love the app but that makes it horrible.

Fantastic!!!!!

My main complaint is 50% of the time when I scan an item it is not recognized. A major store, Wegmans in the NE the item is never recognized. If you use a lot of store brands you will be doing it manually which is a pain.;

It would be great to have an additional field created to help organize items by type. For example, if we purchase Hunts ketchup and Heinz Ketchup, it would be nice to be able to group them simply as ketchup, rather than individual items (we are not brand loyal on some items). Cant seem to get rid of the notification. Very annoying.

Best app out there for time sensitive food inventory tracking and production planning

Im so excited about the item groups!! (So much so that this is the first app Ive ever reviewed.) Im a sale shopper with few items for which I am brand loyal. Ive already found the app very helpful and am looking forward to being able to take full advantage of the quantity minimum feature. No more running out of pizza, soup and other items with many brands/varieties!! I only gave 4 stars because no app is perfect. There are few and minor negatives and they are far outweighed by the increased functionality of this update.

Really love your dedication to keeping updated in tune with new Apple devices. Really professionalism. Thumbs and toes up.

Its a nice app, but I wish they had not changed the screen colors for adding and removing items. It used to be green and red, but now its green and blue/green. Seems minor, but if you use the app a lot, it gets annoying to constantly have to double-check what youre doing.

Works exactly as I expected. GREAT customer support.

I was just looking for an app that I can quickly access when Im shopping to determine if I need a grocery or household item. So far this app meets those needs. It scans barcodes and allows me to enter quantity and expiration date. Seems easy and straight forward. I will update as I use it a bit more.

I really liked the update...until I started to edit the item description. The editing function in that field is completely messed up. I could not edit the item name correctly.

I did a little research before selecting this product for my pantry inventory. From the beginning I really loved using it. Its easy and fun to scan in the products, and the database is very comprehensive. Its easy to see my foods that are about to expire so that I can incorporate them into my meal planning. My pantry is way more organized than it has ever been. After a while I encountered an app issue which I reported. Customer support was quickly on top of it. Even though I seem to be the only person having a problem, they took me seriously and worked on the issue diligently until resolution. Very rare and refreshing for iPhone app support!

I finally got a chance to inventory all of the food in my home. This app does have a few faults though. The app basically is a combination of a few lists, which is fine for an inventory but it really needs a workflow to make it worth the cost. For example, when you take the time to make a shopping list, then carefully check off each item while shopping, it would be excellent if it walked you through your shopping list when you get home so you can scan everything in. Also it would be great if the naming conventions used were clear and consistent for the database. It isnt clear where to track brand name and tracking units of measure is not clear either. Inventory software is one of the oldest types of software out there. The developers of this app could have used a little bit more of the common inventory design conventions to make this an easy to use app.. If this were a free app Id give it 3 stars. But since I had to shell out $8 for software that cant track food as well as a free calorie counting app, this gets one star from me.

5-Stars for being a great inventory app. It has a feature-rich interface yet isnt over-complicated. Plus the GUI looks great. It has the ability to manage your groceries and household goods, along with just about anything else you want to keep track of. And it supports syncing between devices, so my wife and I always have the inventory on hand on our iPhones and iPads. 4-Stars for the room for improvement. I feel that sometimes the act of adding new items to the inventory could be a little simpler. Theres lots of scrolling, tapping and typing involved. Something like a new item "wizard" would be welcome. And Ive accidentally "scanned out" an item Ive used up only to realize I forgot to tap the "+" button to actually remove 1 quantity of that item from my inventory. My one biggest wish for the app is a way to manage partial use of an item. There is a field for servings per container, but I dont see a way to show how many have been used. So I cant figure out how to indicate Ive consumed 4 granola bars from a box of 12. Handy when you are in the grocery store and you want to know if you need more... Do I have a full box, or am I about to eat my last one and need more? Overall, a great app. Id give it a 4.5-Star rating if I could, but since the developer has been in touch and working to improve the app, it gets that little bit extra!

This is the BEST pantry/kitchen inventory app anywhere! I have tried them all, both free and paid. Does everything I want and does everything it says in the description. Great App! Deserves 10 stars!

Not a good idea if you want something relatively simple, as it keeps inexplicably adding items to my list even though I have no minimum quantities set. The real deal breaker though is that it makes you enter everything in whole quantities - 1 box of sugar is very different than a tablespoon in a box! But there is no customization of units and only whole numbers allowed. Otherwise it wasnt bad.

The e-mail address no longer works. I was wanting support because I could not create a group. When I try to create a group, I get a message that it could not reach the servers. So now I am stuck with an 8 dollar app that seems to have no support and so servers.

I couldnt get a group setup due to server issues on the vendors side, tried to reach support many times many ways with no success...ended up requesting a refund and dumping the very expensive app. Disappointing - had high hopes.

I have experienced the same email issues others have reported. I emailed support because I wanted to use decimals instead of whole numbers when doing my inventory or setting minimums to indicate replacement. Some items dont need replacement until Ive used more than half the container, so whole numbers dont help. I would have given 4 stars, but the email issues are really annoying and disappointing, so 2 stars.
