Home Inventory Easy Entry

Cannot take photos on iPhone 14 Pro Max

I have reviewed several home inventory applications and have found this to be very easy to use. The free iPhone app allows for simple barcode scanning and uploading into my Mac laptop. I have entered multiple items from 2 different properties and it’s easy to keep my records straight, easy to enter the data, and filter for the results I need for printing.

The directions say to get a clear picture of the barcode on an item and “the scan will start automatically.” It doesn’t. It does nothing. You scan, it feeds the UPC number into a text field, and then sits there. Pretty disappointing considering barcode scanning ability with combined search of databases like Amazon has been around for years now. Free or not, I wasted my time with this app. Response to the developers: no, I don’t think you actually understand what I’m saying. First off: your wording in your own instructions is what misleads folks into thinking of some automatic search. But more to the point: without the ability to do a search for data, just having an app to export photos to the desktop version is meaningless. My phone’s camera can already take pictures and then upload them to my computer for ANY software to use. A home inventory app with a mobile counterpart is meaningless if the mobile part is just a redundant glorified camera app tied to a file drop script, which is what you’ve described. As I already said originally: this is embarrassingly lazy and meaningless when other apps have been able to do mobile app counterparts that can do the search and import data to create new entries, not just upload photos. If that’s what you set out to do and then shrug and say “that’s why it’s free,” my answer is “more like that’s why nobody will pay for it.” If you’re going to the trouble of making an app in this field, look to the better apps out there and try and see what they’re NOT doing. But offering even less capabilities when those abilities have clearly been around for years in other developers’ mobile versions is sad. And again: a waste of a user’s time, if they already have a phone with a camera (meaning everyone).

Doesn’t store a single entry, or a single photo. Not one. Back to the drawing board for these Bozos..!

Does what I need well

Crashes every single time
