Boxflow - Inventaris

Seems to work really well and has a lot of features

App crashes when trying to upgrade

I’ve been using this app since October 2020, and it has consistently exceeded my expectations. The app is intuitive, reliable, and packed with features that make inventory management easy and efficient. What truly sets this app apart is the outstanding support from the development team. They are responsive and open to feedback, making continuous improvements based on user suggestions. It’s rare to find an app where the developers are so engaged with their community.

Calculator needs a decimal and everything is in unit. No pounds or oz or customization. Maybe you have to pay for those things.

It’s great that you can add a URL however without being able to tap on it and having it take you to the site this feature is worthless

Good features Just wish I could also use on laptop

Thank you

This sounds really stupid but I literally can’t figure out how to add quantity to an item. I see in edit where you can change details but not the quantity, I love the app so far but I can’t figure out the most important part!

I think this app is amazing, but it would be really useful to have a Mac App! I use my iPad as a companion and it works great, but some people don’t have iPads and this would be a great way to expand your target audience.

Took this on a test drive as I seek a new tool for keep track of a constellation of things from consumables like medical supplies to tools, kitchen items, and music gear. The UI appears to be nicely designed, blending well with the feel of iOS. It is also fairly easy and intuitive to set up templates, tags, locations, and so on (though I would have liked to see more icon options—maybe including emojis). The data use and privacy policy are more palatable than options like Sortly, which makes extensive use of identity-linked data. The option to buy a lifetime license is also quite nice. Lots of potential. However, that’s where the pros seem to end for me, and that’s pretty far short of what an app like this needs to be able to do to satisfy my uses for it. The problems I’ve identified so far, in a nutshell: • Search by barcode/SKU doesn’t work (exact matching enabled). • Data export does not include photos. • Items of the same type can be put into folders but they cannot be grouped for overall quantity across entries/boxes/locations. The last problem seems pretty fundamental to the way the app is structured. Inventories tend to be nested nested (e.g., items inside boxes in drawers at locations). Let’s say you have 10 boxes of your favorite chocolate bars. Each box has 5 bars. Three of the boxes expire in a month, 3 expire in 4 months, and the other 4 expire in a year. Each box has a bar code, which you can scan when adding the item. So to inventory these chocolates you would want to be able to track the boxes, so you can eat the ones expiring sooner before eating the ones expiring later, and the overall quantity of the bars (50). Unfortunately, this app does not allow you to do this in a useful way. You could enter each box as an item, use the handy SKU barcode scanning feature, and track the quantity of chocolate bars in each box. And you could add the expiration date as a custom field. But then you will not see the total number of bars across all your boxes—only the number of bars in each box. Moreover, you will have to have a distinct name for each box even though they are the same (other than the expiration date). You could instead enter the chocolate bars as one type of item with a quantity of 50, ignoring the boxes, but then you cannot distinguish subsets of bars based on properties like location or expiration date. Perhaps there’s a workaround I haven’t figure out yet, but the lack of a hierarchical structure is pretty glaring. It seems like
