This app makes it possible to easily keep track of foods, quantities, and expiry dates. Not only does it mean I no longer lose things at the bottom of my freezer, but when I’m at the grocery store, I know 100% whether I’m out of something or not. Less wasted food, better planning! One tweak I’m really hoping to see in an update is the ability to choose the quantity when using the “move” function. For instance if I have 10 chicken breasts in the chest freezer, I’d like the option to move 4 of them to the fridge freezer. Currently, I have to delete them from one and re-enter them in the other location. (“Consume” allows you to choose the quantity, so I’m really hoping that “move” will follow suit!)

I’ve been looking for an app that is intuitive and easy to use, to keep track of my freeze dried food inventory. This is that app. One of my favorite features is the ability to create custom locations and custom places within those locations. The only thing I would personally like to see added in a future revision would be the ability to add sub categories. EDIT: with the addition of tags, a subcategory field isn’t necessary. Keep up the good work!

This is a fantastic app for keeping track of food items in your pantry, freezer, fridge or whatever. I’ve been using it for about 6 months and I’ve had a great experience. Its got a slight learning curve, but its easy to catch on to. Its very customizable so you can make it work for any situation. And even though its geared towards food, you can actually use it to inventory anything. Just set up your own products and storage areas. You can even take your own pictures to set up your own products, food or not. Hope the developer doesn’t mind non-food use! I use it for my freezer and pantry and I highly recommend this app. The developer is highly responsive to email. He needs more US users, and no, I have no connection to the developer. Daveroo

i have trouble feeding myself everyday because of my adhd. unless food is directly in front of me, i’ll forget to eat entirely. i started to keep photos of food in my camera roll to show myself what i have in the kitchen and remind myself to eat. but this was really messy and i couldn’t really add info to the photos. this is SO much easier and simple. whenever i get groceries, i enter items into the app as soon as i put it away. when i open something or use something up, i make sure to enter it in. now when i know i should eat but can’t find the energy, i open the app and look at what i have. this helps my executive functioning get going. i still have days where i forget to eat but knowing what i can eat and deciding not to eat is still SO much better than when i didn’t know what to eat, didn’t want to go check, and just gave up on eating. a few things i’ve noticed and have suggestions for — - it’s kind of clunky to share with people in your household. you have to share each storage space and each list individually. it’s clunky but not totally unusable. i wish you could just share a “home” and then all the spaces or lists in that home is shared. - i wish there was a tagging system! there is a category system where you can categorize things into vegetables, dairy, snacks, etc. you can even make your own categories. but! you can’t put something in multiple categories. i want to be able to tag things as a kind of meal like “breakfast” or as part of a recipe like “deli sandwich”. then if i’m looking for what to eat for breakfast, i just have to filter by its tag. if i’m checking to see if i have everything to make a deli sandwich, i just have to filter by its tag. - i wish it was easier to add unique products. you have to go through the motions of searching something in the database before you can click to add a unique product. and if you happen to type something that’s already in the database, there is no option at all but to click that search result. like if we could have FoodShiner’s database along with our own personal database that the user populates, that would be really cool. - i LOVE the stats feature. i kind of wish there were more robust stats like which space gets thrown more? consumed more? what item runs out really fast? that kind of thing. 5/5 all the way though! please donate to the creators! ❤️

I just recently downloaded this app and I'm very impressed so far. I gave it 5 stars because as I said in the title, for a free app, there are a lot of great features. It also deserves a tip IMO as it's a very well built app. That being said, it would be awesome if lists in the native Reminders app could be imported to the Shopping Lists in yours. I use Siri all the time for this. Additionally it would be awesome to be able to bulk move all the items from the shopping list to storage. Thanks for such a great app!

Take the guesswork away with this awesome app. Itemise your food as it goes in and out of the freezer, fridge, or pantry. Great to help you inventory what you have on hand, and what you’re running low on. I’ve searched high and low for an app like this - where others have failed this app has excelled. Bravo!

Thank you for this app, I think it will help us to manage our food products better. The barcode recognition is amazing, detect practically all items. Search bar is less good though, don’t find anything. Is there a problem here ? Hopefully we can create product ourself. An other thing, I can’t reuse a product I have created with another expiration date. Maybe you can do something here too. Good job !

This was just what we were looking for. We have two freezers full of stuff, and a pantry with many shelves. With this app we are able to see at a glance what is in those freezer drawers and know where to find stuff that we vaguely remember storing. It takes a while to get verything entered, but it is well worth the effort. Thanks, Idriss, for a superb and very useful application!

I wanted a simple food inventory app that let me add, categorise and easily edit a list of all the food in my house so I can stop wasting so much food. I don’t need a meal planner or to track my eating for health reasons or anything like that, I just want to stop wasting food. A way to manage expiry dates is a plus. I’ve only just started using this app, but so far it’s perfect. I haven’t found any bugs, and I contacted the developer with a query and got a really helpful reply within 24 hours. I don’t do things by halves, so when I decided I wanted an app, I downloaded about 10 apps to test them out and this is the one that worked the best for me. Unless something goes weirdly wrong when I start using it more (in which case I’ll update this review, so if it’s not updated, it means it still works well!) then I highly recommend it. Best of all, no identity tracking! Some of the things I liked in this app that I didn’t find (all of them) in any other app: - simple, uncluttered interface - ability to reuse the same product for different locations (e.g have a jar of pesto in the fridge and another in the cupboard) without the app getting confused - have multiple items under the same category with different expiry dates attached to each, but they are grouped (e.g. 2 blocks of butter, one expires in a month, the other in 2 months) - unlimited use of app for free with no subscription (though donations are possible) - no ads, no annoying pop ups or “helpful hints” that get in the way - change the way the data is displayed with one click to storage location, expiry date, food category etc, some other apps made this complicated to do - no data tracking / identity tracking

Update: The barcode scanner works very well. Definitely impressive. We'll be using this software to track all our pantry items. Thank you to the developer for responding and explaining the settings. We have been looking for a way to track the food we have in our pantry. So often we forget what we have and buy more before using the old. Today is the first day of trying this app. So far so good. We'd love to see an option to use a remote barcode scanner. The app currently has you hold the item in front of your computer camera. Scanning would be much faster if we could use our handheld scanner. Anyway, pleased so far. Love that the information is stored on our computer and doesn't require loading on our phones.

We downloaded this app because it is a desktop version. We aren't fans of cloud storage. It was easy to install and start using. The one thing we wish it had was the ability to use a wireless barcode scanner with it. It is time consuming to bring each item to our computer and hold it up to the camera. I'm really surprised this app is free. I think as they get more users the database will grow. Hope they survive.
