Nest Egg - Inventory

One of the main reasons I purchased this app (and paid again for some of the extra features) was for the scanning. I'm aware that successful scanning depends on many factors, all of which I have varied multiple times (adjusting the lighting, isolating the barcode by covering nearby barcodes, etc, etc.). I've even tried typing in "official" barcode numbers, which still are aren't recognized by the app. I've contacted customer support several times, with examples, and while they worked with me to troubleshoot at first, I haven't heard back from them since I sent examples back in April 2022.

Having to pay extra for features like filter/sort and tagging is annoying but exacerbated by having no documentation on how to use the capability. Didn’t get any better when I tried to submit a help request and had the email rejected Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender

Not sure if they deliberately omitted syncing between personal Devices in order to push their (clearly Business oriented) Cloud app, or not; but wow, what a blind spot that was. Could be a 4, maybe 5-star app, if only they’d simply implement this feature—one that most apps have by default, for free; though, I wouldn’t mind paying another dollar-something for it. Speaking of, an “All Premium Features” payment option would’ve been nice. Paying for each individual feature, in 2021, is a drag, and feels like it’s 2011 all over again. Anyway, not bad for what it’s actually meant to do; it’s just that actually using it productively is a pain. UX definitely needs to be re-examined.

I just purchased this app for $6.99USD (which for me will need to be converted to CDN) as an upgrade from the Lite version, and after being in the upgraded app for 5 minutes I have to say I’m very disappointed in it and wish I were able to reverse the transaction. What is not made clear to you when upgrading is that a good majority of the apps features and benefits are add-on costs over and above the, already overpriced, base fee of $6.99. In fact, 5 out of 6 features (attachments, tagging, sorting, uploading via CSV file, and the ability to have a passcode) are not included and you must pay more money in order to activate each one that you want. Furthermore, the description mentions being able to share your data amongst multiple devices, which was also appealing to me as that way everyone in the family would be able to access and update the inventory in real time ... nope, think again. Another extra charge. By the time you finish paying for every upgrade to get features that would usually be considered standard, you’ll be out at least $20. For me, the price, coupled with the underlying slyness the developers have shown in the way they have set up this multi-tiered cash grab just aren’t worth it.

A great piece of app that allow you to keep trCk all your items, even borrow lists, add photos, categories, barcodes and so on. I tried several apps, and none was exactly what I was looking for. The name of the app was not very appealing in the first place, but I gave a try and i bought the pro version, and remove all the others apps I tried. Try it, you’ll love it.

This inventory App is the easiest I’ve ever seen. It is all you would need for almost any inventory need. Service is also excellent. And you can’t beat the price. One-time 6.99 fee. Some claims to be free but... what do you get?

Seriously? Nest Egg Lite sucked me into inputting data all day in the free app, but cut me off at 25 items & forced me to purchase the Nest Egg app for THREE DOLLARS MORE than it’s advertised for sale on the website. Now the app developers want ANOTHER TWO BUCKS just so I can transfer all the data from Nest Egg Lite into this overpriced piece of crap. I’m not impressed. Not at all. There should be a way to return apps for a refund.

After reaching out to support my problem reading barcodes has been solved.😊 The support is amazing: quick diagnosis of the problem with pleasant responses to all my question. Thank you.

In-app purchase just to be able to sort items? No thanks.

Updated to 5 stars 30th March 2020 because of developers super fast response. Very useful app, probably will continue to improve bar code database as that’s always evolving. We organized a few boxes and it’s working fine. I used another app to generate bar codes so the boxes can be scanned, it works great. -Would love to see bar code generating capability in the app. -Would also recommend that the character limit in the description be done away with.
