NoWaste - Food Inventory List

I’ve been using this app for probably a year and scan/enter after a grocery shop, especially for refrigerated perishables. The scan database for Australia used to work but in recent months it fails to lookup anything new that I haven’t bought previously so I end up having to manually enter the food product. Any fixes forthcoming please? Otherwise very useful to remind when expiry dates are coming up to use and not waste.

I’m sure originally it was English but it’s not now.

It’s great at having basic inventory control of your pantry but duplicate section of the same product can easily occur when the app doesn’t associate what was written in pre-existing food items that’s already in the system when adding more of the same food product. The app should remember what I last wrote as a the title of that certain product so when I buy another one of that item it generates the same title, thus having one name for all quantities of that product item. I’m aware you can search for that item and increase it on the menus but it’s easier and more convenient to scan and add

Loving this app! Although I think it could definitely be improved in a few areas. I’d love the option to colour code, I often find it hard to differentiate between groups, so if I could make meat red or fish blue, it would help soooo much! It would Alamo make it visually appealing, which personally adds to my enjoyment of an app. I’d also love some more personalisation if my profile, such as profile pictures. It’d be cool to also scan best before dates as well as the current barcode feature! I adore how organised the app is. Its easy to use and simple :-)

A lot of bugs. Every food expires in 10 months even when I have set the custom expiry date. Does not use apples “Password” function to help sign in.

The scanner isn't working.

You add in all your pantry items into the first tab and then you tap over to the shopping list....it’s empty and so you have to manually add in everything again. There should be a way for foods that are low in stock to be added automatically. The ‘essentials’ feature does nothing new. Also how much of an item is left should be displayed visually without having to tap into every item. I should see how much I have left of everything at one glance, not one by one. The slider feature for how much is left is pointless, just have one tap to mark something as low. In the shopping list, have everything in my pantry etc already listed but greyed out. Then anything that’s marked as low is not greyed and you can scroll through it and tap something to un-grey it if you want more of it or manually add in anything new yiu don’t already have.

Features slowly coming back, but really needs categories back, it’s sooooo important for the usefulness of the app

... with no benefit for existing pro members. I even wrote to the developer about it but got no response. App showed promise but I’ve decided not to use it.

Since upgrade to version 6, the app needs an email login instead of user name it previously used. So despite exporting my data as required, I have lost access to my list and recipes. Email to developer completely ignored. Don’t waste your time on this worthless app...because developer seems to change login rules at his whim and doesn’t care that subscribers lose data that can take hours to load. If I could give this zero stars I would.
