Nice app

Exactly as described

Awesome Idea, Missing Needed Features

Love the idea of this but it’s a bit too hard to use for me and missing important enough features that I don’t want to use it all the time. 1) You can’t scan barcodes. I understand a barcode doesn’t have expiration dates but it would help with filling in all other product info. Maybe having a camera icon that could convert an image of an expiration label into text. 2) I don’t see any visual note that a product has expired. Even when I set it to remind me, in the list itself the expired product looks like all the other products. 3) I wish I could mark items off that I just bought so I know I have new ones. I’d have to update expiration date but I’d love to easily see what I got new and what I still need to get.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We just released a new app version:
1) It is now possible to scan barcodes.
2) Expired items are now in red.
3) You can swipe to remove items from the list.

Nice idea, but….

When an item has expired, the ONLY notification you get is on your device. It would be much better if you got an email notification. Also, when an item is expired, I was hoping that the expiration date would turn red or something to notify me within the app that something has expired. No such luck. If there was an option to somehow sort items that are going to expire sooner, so then, at least you could make a note to use them up quicker, that would help. However, there is no such option. Also, if you happen to enter the expiration date as a date that has already passed, the system does not flag it at all.
Got a response from the developer that only one of my concerns has been addressed - the expired items now appear in red.
