What’s New

Version 4.8.1

• To improve application performance for users with many items, we added an option to save the inventory data file in the background instead of saving it each time a change is made.
• Fixed the password feature: you can now password-protect the application UI again.
• Fixed the currency controls when editing inventory details. Some Euro currency settings were not being parsed correctly.
• Fixed the issue where archived items were appearing in other sections of the application (Rooms, Tags, etc.).
• Fixed the issue with saving PDF files when the extension was not specified.
• Fixed the issue that prevented the application from displaying all locations in the choice list of the secondary inventory list in the Rooms and Tags view.
• Fixed several other minor UI-related issues.

Better than I could have imagined

The developer is great and friendly.

I now use this software for absolutely everything, but originally bought for just maintaining a value list of items.

You may need to decide on a naming scheme and tagging scheme which works best for you.

Since the document upload feature is so good, I now use it for pretty all documents. Storage of documents for important things year on year, things which need renewing, todo list on certain things which I don't have time to action then and there, huge list of items great and small, any notes or images, any testing results I need to save per item, the list goes on.

Personally for organising I use the following scheme, hope this helps - Note each item can have multiple tags but only one collection assigned, which is clear for organisation. I leave the list of items largely ordered by name so related items are given similar first names and grouped somewhat that way, with one "core" tag which sometimes matches the first name of the item, and additional tags for things which may need lookup later, such as "specific maintainance". I use "Collection" to specify which storage box something is in. I use "Location" to differentiate between areas that might be claimed for insurance differently or at different times, so one location is the main flat, while another is the car and its contents, and another is "Digital Only", etc.)

Best home inventory app by far!

Intuitive, clean interface, comprehensive features, great bulk photo import feature makes it really easy to get a large number of items onto the database quickly, good array of export and reporting features. I've tried all the home inventory apps on the app store and this one is head and shoulders better! There is even a fully featured trial version on the BluePlum website to see for yourself! One final point - I had a query about the trial version that the developer addressed within 24 hours... fantastic!

Not as stable as I would like - but a comprehensive app, nonetheless

A very comprehensive app which allows you to store a lot of important information about your belongings. I've been using it for about two days now and find that some areas are not very intuitive. I've been using Mac apps for many, many years and I expect things to be done in a certain way - but this app expects a different approach. For example, when you have filled in a form, don't bother pressing 'Enter" as it won't do anything. Instead, you have to press Command and S throughout the app. The next point is that it hangs constantly. After some serious use inputting data, I get the spinning beach ball and Mac tells me the app is no longer repsonding. This has happened to me on at least three occasions in the last two days. I have had to kill it and start again. Only happens after about two hours; use. Otherwise, it has great potential. I also reviewed the iOS app separately. That, too, has problems.

Developer Response ,

Regarding your issue with the application hanging, we are more than willing to work with you to fix it. Unfortunately your description is not precise enough to help us replicate the issue and locate the area of the application affected by it. Please contact us with, at least, the description of the last action you took before the application stopped responding. Was it while you were editing an item, adding a new item, saving an item, adding a new image, ...? You can report the issue directly from the application.

As for the Command+S shortcut, it is being used in many MacOS applications for saving documents. It is used in the Home Inventory application to prevent accidental closing of forms before you are done editing all information. Initial implementation worked the way you want it to work, but after multiple customer complaints, we decided to change it.
Thank you for your comments.
