iPantry Manager

It's a good start for what I want for a pantry app to do, but it needs a few things. One little issue and one big one so far. You can't edit the categories. There are some I will never use and some that I would like that aren't there. And no barcode scanner, which makes entering all my stuff very time consuming. The big plus, and the reason I got the app, is the ability to send items to the grocery list and then send them back to the pantry. No other pantry app I have will put the things back in the pantry after I buy them so you have to renter everything again. So a good start. Just needs some work to make it exactly what I'm looking for.

While this app isn't always the most intuitive to use--many times when I first started using it, I thought it couldn't do what I wanted, only to discover the method was just a bit circuitous or idiosyncratic--overall, this app is fantastic, and an excellent tool for a large household or small business (I use it for both). You can catalog all of your food in all of your pantries (I have 2 deep freezes, two household fridge/freezers, a commercial fridge and several pantries), set default or custom expiration dates to avoid waste, track prices, move locations, etc. The overview screens include the info you want (qty. expiration) without a lot of extraneous clutter (a problem with other pantry apps I tried). And just as important, it has a clean, elegant design. If I'm going to be spending a lot of time in an app, I don't want an ugly interface? While it doesn't include gps data some prepper aps have, I don't have caches of food buried all over my property, so that's fine by me. ;) It also lacks a barcode scanner, but none of the apps with barcode scanners I tried were any good at what's in my pantry, anyway. If you have a lot of bulk, food service, store brands, or specialty or imported foods, the scanners are pretty useless. If you eat a lot of Kraft dinner, they may be more helpful.

It was really disappointing to add one pantry, try and add another one, only to get a pop up saying that in order to do that you need to purchase the pro version. No where in the description does it say that you only get one and then you need to upgrade. It's a little decieving.

I think the concept is good, but there are several things that turn me off about this. The biggest is that entering a product via barcode scan is not available. I'm looking to increase my productivity. It takes too much time to enter a product with so many fields, not to mention the incorrect use of English words. It should say "price" and not "prize". In general, have someone review the spelling and grammar to make this professional.

Could be just what I need, but it won't work on my iPad. Works on iPhone fine.
