Pantry Check - Grocery List for Negative User Reviews

✓ Not worth subscription price.Awesome app. Loved everything about it. Totally easy to inventory my pantry. However, I didn’t realize there was a limit of items until I inputed 200 items and was told if I wanted more I’d have to pay a subscription. No thanks, not getting into that. I would have been happy to pay a one time payment or maybe receive ads from local grocery stores but I won’t do subscriptions…ever! Bummer. Loved the app..JazspazVersion: 2.8.3

✓ Really thought this was the oneThis really was looking like exactly what we needed to organize and track our home pantry shelves. You can scan the barcode of items to add them to the list and track the stock, and there are shopping and expiring lists. But it’s just fluff. None of it works the way I expected it to (I hoped it would). There is no way to set a threshold amount to trigger an item to appear on the shopping lists. The only way I see for an item to even potentially show up there is to either click Restock manually on each item or to click Finish on the item - which removes it completely from inventory. And you’d expect that perhaps the Auto Generated shopping list would pick up these Finished items (you can’t use this for Restock because you have to enter the list to restock), but there doesn’t seem to be any discernible pattern I could see to what it puts on that list - usually it’s just empty. I was ready to pay for this app and give it 5 stars; on the surface I thought I had finally found the app we needed for home pantry tracking. As it stands, it just seems like a tool that gets in your way instead of solving the problem..GameDropVersion: 2.8.3

✓ Not very fat finger friendlyI got this app because my household went from 3 adults to only me overnight. All of a sudden, I had so much food in my pantry and refrigerator! I had to learn new ways to eat healthy and not waste food, especially fresh fruits and veggies. This app really filled my need. It is labor intensive at first, but once you get the routine down, the rhythm flows. My biggest complaint is that there is no “undo” button for inventory or shopping lists. I am constantly erasing entries by accident because of my clumsy fingers. The sliding gage that you set the %used is too close to the “finished” button. It takes more time to have to re-set up the product in my inventory again than it would to just reverse the last action (as when editing a photo of a new product). My second complaint is that when you enter a new food item and assign a new location, it automatically assigns the food category, and it’s not always what I would have selected. I have to do a separate search for the item that I just set up to figure out how the app classified it. If it showed me the automatic classification before transferring it into inventory , I could have the chance to edit the category to what I wanted it to read before I added it to inventory. I really like the app and purchased the upgrade. It has helped me cut down on impulse or duplicate food buying and food waste from spoilage. Both have allowed me to save a significant amount of money on my budget..Beadlady98Version: 2.8.3

✓ Way too complicated for my purposes.It won’t let you add a new food without a photo, and you have to jump through 8 different windows in order to enter anything at all. I just want to be able to list what I’ve got in the fridge..KlytaimnestraVersion: 2.6.6

✓ Fake, Useless ScannerThe so-called “best barcode scanner” doesn't recognize ANY products. It picks the code and then you have to enter the product name - completely useless! What is the point if having search and features that use the scanner if it doesn’t work?.Waterman7619Version: 2.6.6

✓ Not workingFollowing the latest update, Pantry Check won’t start..AhyccfgfdgVersion: 2.8.1

✓ Great in some ways, frustrating in other waysIn some ways I LOVE this app!!...once I set up my pantry system. But....I wish I could make my own category names. I can’t recall an example at this time and it’s just a nuisance. I personally can do without categories but that’s me. I’d love to have a sub-location category. But now that I’m constantly improving my system, I might be fine the way it is. What I’d really like to see is an ability to group locations so it’s not a huge long list. I have 7 shelving units in my pantry with 4 shelves each. Each individual shelf is a location. I’d love to be able to group each shelving unit instead of seeing 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-1...etc. The other big thing that I don’t like is I want to have “rooms” without getting everything grouped together. My pantry is downstairs. I want a separate thing for the kitchen. I’d also love to organize my bathroom and storage area (I know, they’re not food areas). I’m thinking about buying another account for the kitchen but that would be on the iPad so I don’t have to switch emails constantly. I just solved the kitchen problem now I have to find a good app for the other areas of the house. As I said, I love this app but I wish I could have separate rooms with their own locations..Mrs Butterfly TattooVersion: 2.7.4

✓ Trouble at the storeThe wheel wouldn’t stop spinning at the store when the app got hung up with “locating store”. I didn’t even want it to do so but iit didn’t give me a choice. Instead it kept spinning and I couldn’t get past it (all other buttons were greyed out) so I couldn’t see my shopping list that I needed! Tried to reboot the app which brought it back to where it was stuck. Finally had to reboot my phone but now the app icon is missing from my App Library and I can only see the app and get it to open at apple’s application store! So no way to access the darn icon! So much for all that time scanning and inputting so many unfound/new products. I really wanted to like this app and I’m on the trial period so I can’t see feeling confident in paying for this app!.Frustrated with Pantry Check!!Version: 2.7.4

✓ Not user friendlyVery hard to navigate. Adding inventory is easy but changing quantities or removing items should be much simpler. Should be able to share the app and allow family members to use it, otherwise they have to write down what they use when you are not there. Might work for a single person but terrible for a family with kids old enough to cook. Not worth the bother..WazienessVersion: 2.8.3

✓ Great interface but...This app is the best in class but you can only use it on your phone or iPad. I thought this wouldn’t matter but when you’re managing a lot of food that you don’t want to go to waste (since that’s throwing money in the garbage) it really doesn’t work out in the long run. You can’t log into your account from a browser and there is no desktop app. The longer I use this app this factor becomes more of a hardship. When I go to reconcile what I have with what I need to plan to buy I find that I’m having to just use something else from my desktop so I can ensure I have everything for my months worth of meal planning. While I love the stability of this app (I have a paid version) I’m going to have to move on if I can’t just login from a browser to get a bigger view..Todd5065Version: 2.7.7

✓ Did not record all inventorySpent 1 hour scanning over 200 products, when completed, only about 30 items were in my inventory. The bar codes produced the picture of the actual product, so what gives. Do I have go back and it again? Not happy as no warnings came up.ShebbythecatVersion: 2.8.3

✓ Not what I thought it would beJust got this app today and now I have to delete it. I was so excited to download it. I started scanning everything in my pantry and was like finally an app that my family can use to see what we have on hand and what we need. Then I hit 250 items and it stopped my progress unless I spend $12 a year for storage. No where is this mentioned. Before downloading. I spent two hours organizing and scanning only to realize I can go no further. We have a large family and 200 items is not enough space. I don’t even know if 2,000 items is enough space. That costs $12 a year. I know people need to make money but this detail should be in the description somewhere..LDShomeschoolmomVersion: 2.7.2

✓ Forced to accept term of service will delete this app when term endsWill delete this app.CdnBacon128Version: 2.7.3

✓ Great for knowing what you have But needs to do more.I love the user friendly and minimalist design, has majority of items and adding items it doesn’t is simple. If you go over 200 items it prompts you to pay a reasonable fee which is fine, just wish you could use the app for recipe suggestions based on what you have. Don’t really see much use in it besides tracking what you have and honestly don’t think that’s worth paying for, I can do that in my notes. Kind of disappointing that it doesn’t include the recipe suggester..Gamelover1095Version: 2.8.2

✓ Shopping Module NightmareWhile the pantry inventory is robust, bordering on overkill, shopping is awkward to say the least. 1) assigning a purchase to a store must be done AT the store. 2) Without user access to app’s store database, no corrections allowed when you get home 3) don’t mistakenly check an item off a shopping list, ‘cuz you can’t undo the mistake. Must return to Inventory, Restock, Assign to List from scratch 4) no user access to purchase history by store, item or other. So no method for comparison shopping. 5) user should be able to create store-linked list to the app’s stores database. Shopping seems an afterthought, when it should be yin to inventory yang. Barcoding in real time is not always ideal, so more flexibility to the shopper is surely in order..SOMBBVersion: 2.7.7
