Pros and cons of NoWaste - Food Inventory List app for iPhone and iPad

NoWaste - Food Inventory List app good for

A little confusing at first but now that I think I have it figured out I love it.
Hi Kasper. I dont know if you remember me. You helped me get the app working last week. I wanted to let you know Im Loving it. Its a strange thing, its not only helping me with my shopping (which is great), its actually making me less wasteful. Im much more conscious of what needs to be used so it doesnt get thrown out...something Im normally Horrible about. So thank you so much for that.
I have the full paid version of this app for an IPad mini. It is very easy to use and convenient for keeping track of my food items. But I was most impressed with the excellent customer support; back when I first got it and had a few issues figuring out how the offline/online users worked, I emailed them and got very prompt, helpful responses. For those who are considering the app, this is how it works: you add food items to one of three locations (Pantry, Freezer, Fridge). Each item has the following attributes: name, quantity/weight/note, category (i.e., poultry, vegetable), expiration date, shelf. It suggests text from previous responses to reduce typing if you are adding items that you have added before, and there is also a way to restock an item instead of adding all the same info again. There is also a barcode scanner to automatically add packaged items, though this is dependent on a user-populated database. You can search your items for a specific one or sort by expiration date, name, or category. Swiping left or right on the item indicates whether you used it up or had to throw it away, and the app keeps track of these statistics. You get a notification when food is close to or past expiration. You can create a shopping list, and there is a way to sync with the app on other devices if others in your household have it, too. Altogether very well done. I am rating this app 5 stars because it has all the basic functionality that I need as a food inventory, but I do have a few ideas on how it could be even better. It would be nice to be able to create and name more than one shopping list, to create additional pantries or freezers if you need them (as opposed to typing out the location in the Shelf or Note attribute, which is time-consuming), to have a Date Frozen attribute for Freezer items, and to have duplicate items (i.e., Quantity is >1) appear as separate entries so that when you use up only one you can just swipe the entry to delete instead of reducing the Quantity. It would also be great to be able to add both a Quantity and a Note, and the scrolling when manually adding a food item could be a bit smoother (hitting the arrows up and down to skip sections sometimes doesnt skip all the way to the next set of arrows).
Its a nice app. Adds and removes items just fine for me. Has the features I want without being too complicated.
I love the ability to know what I have by freezer, fridge, and pantry. Easy item entry and editing. I wish I could swipe or somehow add items directly to a shopping list as they are used up and need to be replaced. And then that when I mark something on a shopping list as purchased it would go back into freezer, fridge or pantry.
Pretty handy tool for sailors. Simple but effective, and the bar code reader will make things much easier

Some bad moments

Love knowing what is in the freezer. You wont forget what you put in there, right? And when it is underneath other items, it is out of sight, out of mind. No more. Also helpful to keep using food in a timely manner. Less waste and easy to use.
Good idea for tracking what I have. Would love the addition of a pantry tab.
Disappointed. Paid for scanner but it just creates its own database and you still have to enter all information by hand. Save your money. It is also tedious to get to the expiration screen.
I started using this program and it appeared to work well, the more I used it though I started to notice that entries were disappearing from the list. The Developer of the app was responsive to the issue but stated that he did not expect people to have that large of data bases. So if you have less than 100 items you want to keep track of in each area it works fine for that, but if it is larger than that it will not display those items until you delete something from the displayed list. So in my case it was a waste of money. If the issue with the 100 item limit is fixed I will use the app but until then I am not going to waste my time.
The app is pretty but its missing a key feature. The inventory should be sorted by expiration date. Or that should at least be an option. I should immediately be able to tell what I need to use up today. Also, I would love if I could reuse items. Just one click to add something and have the expiration date automatically populate. Why is there no default option for vegetables and/or fruit? Sometimes things still pop up in Danish.
You cant do anything. In app purchases are one thing but locking 90% of the functionality prior to even trying it testing any portion of the app is a joke. How do I know if I even want to pay for the app...I dont! Therefore I downloaded registered and then deleted immediately.
