Review summary

GunSafe is praised for being secure, easy to use, and comprehensive for firearm and ammo inventory with features like Wish List and ammo tracking. Users appreciate the developer's responsiveness. However, common complaints include the inability to add multiple photos, lack of accessory categories, bugs affecting app stability and ammo quantity adjustment, problematic date display, and issues managing ammo entries such as deletion and merging. Many users request improvements to better organize accessories, multiple images, and a smoother user experience.

Pros

App is secure with no internet access, protecting user data.
Easy to use for tracking firearms and ammo with detailed input fields.
Includes features like Wish List, ammo usage tracking, and firearm photos.
Developer responds quickly to user feedback and updates the app regularly.
Supports comprehensive inventory including weapons, ammo, and some accessories.

Cons

Limited to one photo per firearm or ammo item; users want multiple photos support.
No dedicated category to track accessories like scopes, holsters, suppressors, and optics separately.
Some users experience bugs including app opening to blank screen and ammo quantity adjustment errors.
Date display in data entry changed to less readable numeric format after updates with no option to customize.
Ammo management issues such as entries merging incorrectly and inability to delete ammo types or edit entries cleanly.

2024-10-26	Ke*****	Really impressed with this app, esp. for freeware. I had GunVault Pro on my old phone, but that app is no longer in the Play Store. Decided to try Gun Safe. Have transcribed all my guns and ammo. Gun Safe has more input fields. Nice! Love the Wish List! A couple suggestions: Add box in ammo for Target, in addition to Defense and Hunting. GunVault Pro had an ammo notes field that Gun Safe doesn't, but my notes were all BC, SD, MV, MPBR +/-R, MRD & trajectory. Maybe add fields for each of these.

2024-03-31	86*****	App is good but could be improved. Here is what I would like to see, and then this app would be great. First, have a page or category for accessories like you have for ammo. That way, I can list my extra scopes, holsters, etc. You have an optics feature at the bottom of a page, but would like to traxk my stuff separately. Guns, ammo, accessories. By doing this, we can add our garmin GPS, binoculars, etc. Second I would be great if we were allowed at least 2 or 3 pictures, not just 1. Thanks

2024-01-30	Ro*****	Not sure what was fixed last, but the app opens to a blank screen. I have to open/close it several times and jockey around the app, and then maybe I'm lucky enough that all my info I already put in pops up. Disappointing. When it does work, I like it alot. But when I have to dance around hoping it works, not so much.

2023-09-03	So*****	Great app. Does what it says. For some reason. After last update, the dates on data entry are all just numbers now. Before the data entry spaces showed (example) Aug 18, 2023 but now only numbers with no spaces so it looks like 8182023 now and looks messy. I haven't changed any settings so not sure why dates display differently now. I see no way to change the way its displayed either. Any help would be appreciated.

2023-07-06	go*****	Great inventory management database for firearms and ammo. Detailed but not bloated. 2 suggestions: 1. For Ammo: Use some form of a TRIM function to eliminate spaces after user entered projectile names and manufacturers. Auto-correct entry using mobile devices usually adds a space afterwards. This causes 2 different entries with the appearance of the same name 2. Add magazines in the firearms section. As a workaround I add them as a custom caliber. i.e. 9mm magazine, .380 magazine, etc.

2023-05-18	Lu*****	Wanted to move to electronic and periodically print out a list. I have been using this app for several months now, and I like it. There are some quirks with it. But I have a few suggestions. 1st) Would be cool to be able to group guns or ammos together (ex: .223 and 5.56) 2) (Edit to my issue) update has been added that has remedied my issue with ammo entries crashing. Works 100% now. Wonderful support and even happier with app now!

2022-11-27	Ma*****	Better than my notepad list for tracking my ammo, but I can't add firearms at all. Pushing the save button at the top does nothing. Also, I had to add .303 British to my list and accidentally put in . 303 British first. Now can't find a way to get rid of the one with the (automatic) extra space. Minor annoyance. Would be nice if I could sort the ammo to my preference as it's weird that 10mm wants to be in the middle and 9mm wants to be at the end after all the 7.62 calibers. But I get it.

2022-06-30	Jo*****	I like the app layout and features. but I am unable to adjust the ammo quantities. I click adjust, enter the amount used, then click the '-' symbol and I get a pop up that says "count NOT updated". Is there something I'm missing? I'm using a Samsung S21 Ultra running Android 12 OS if that helps the dev at all. Edit: Randall contacted me and is working on a fix for the bug. Will update again in a few days Final edit: Randall was able to get the bug fixed and the update rolled out within hours.

2022-06-23	Ri*****	Nice app. Only 2 real suggestions. Being able to reduce ammo used more efficiently. I should be able to go into my ammo, select use, select how much and done. It's a little weird trying to reduce ammo. Another suggestion is the ability to add multiple photos. Sometimes one just isn't enough, and with the political climate today it's a good option to prove I had them before whatever ban.

2022-04-18	Aa*****	I like the app so far. Just started entering data. Definitely going to go through and add photos of everything, etc. Two glaring misses. First, is that there is no Rimfire type. So if you have any .22s, they likely won't be listed correctly. Second is that there is no category for suppressors or other devices, like NVGs or IR devices, and no way to "add custom" like there is with manufacturer names. Also, would love to be able to delete manufacturer names from the list. Lastly, would like to be able to show the total list broken down by type to scroll through. Pistols, rifles, shotguns, suppressors as bold section headers or something. Just a thought.
