| 2024-12-20 | I really love the app. Can type in a good amount of info. Sometimes I wish it could show the expiration date with the opened date. That way I wouldn't have to click on it to see when it expires. Update: it does have a way to show the expiration date with the opened date. No complaints here. Thank you! | ||

| 2024-09-04 | Does what I need. I like that you can set different expirations for different categories of products. One thing I especially like is using scanned UPC codes; but sadly there's no way to edit this once captured, or add it if missed originally (except by adding a new product entry and then deleting the old one). Also would like to batch-update, primarily to remove temporary tags placed during inventory. As I said, though, minor issues. | ||

| 2024-08-04 | I only use this app to track the dates of documents and credentials. I don't think this was a part of the original design, but it works all the same. I think it would be great to have notifications as early as 6 months (180 days) prior to expiration and different intervals thereafter. If this is already possible, I haven't discovered it as of yet. | ||

| 2024-07-01 | This is exactly what I was looking for to track expiration dates of medications. It notifies you when your items are close to expiring and when they've expired. The items are color coded so you can identify at a glance what needs replaced. | ||

| 2024-05-16 | Very easy to use and more useful than I imagined. I only run a small campsite shop and this is ideal for expiry dates. You could use it for stock control too, but AFAIK it would be manual. I can't see a way of tying it into a till system (which could have stock levels built in anyway). | ||

| 2024-02-17 | The best application of all the others for tracking expiring foods. Never buggy, has all the functions you need and is easy to use. A++ Edit: you know what would be great? An option for an inventory control. I've seen this in other apps. The app would just show logged things and the user could check a box if they got it or if they lost it somewhere/got stolen,... User could also filter inventory check by date added, tags, location,... | ||

| 2024-01-20 | Love it, although frustrating sometimes. I use it for work tracking items that are about to expire. The ability to have a barcode scanner, and then input data for that barcode and having it be saved to the database. Whats frustrating is the buttons/icons at the bottom are so small. So imagine as a left handed person trying to reach the barcode button on the right, not even registering half the time. It would be nice to have the buttons larger and the ability to rearrange them. | ||

| 2023-12-27 | As a very forgetful person married to another forgetful person, this app is SO helpful. I hate wasting food, but it's hard to memorize everything in my pantry and freezer (first world problems, am I right?). The first initial inventory takes a lot of time, but it was nice to get an idea of what we have, and it prompted a good cleanout. The only downside is that I have to remember to update the app when I use things up or buy new food, but that's a user problem, not an app issue. | ||

| 2023-08-06 | Great idea for the app. but deducting a point due to sketchy sync process. We use the app on 2 phones and the data quite often gets of sync if user forgets to press download or upload button. Wish for it to be automatic. Also the search by barcode is hidden behind two buttons. Should be one click. EDIT: Thank you DEV! The search setting helped to solve barcode scanner thingy. Now looking forward for better sync :) | ||

| 2023-06-08 | Very nice and simple app. Works without any annoyances like popups etc. I can add products by name or barcode, search and filter by full or partial name. Allows backup to e.g. Drive, restore and share. When the product list gets longer, scrolling and starting is a bit slower, but it's a minor issue compared to the functionality. I've been using it for years now. | ||
