MyGearVault

Fornøyd god løsning

I love this app for creating an inventory of my camera gear. So far it’s been able to find all the stuff I have, and inputting my gear is easy & quick. I wish that I could add my own fields — I’d like to be able to add a few specifications to the lenses, like filter diameter for example. I would also like to be able to have multiple categories of lenses — prime, macro, zoom, etc. So it may get not be perfect, but it is really a nice interface and very easy to use.

Search is useless and insurance has yet to be implemented. Hoping this gets some work as it’s a great idea.

I wish you could arrange the order when looking at all gear instead of seeing the order in which you added them. Also I want to see the notes when I choose to look at a piece of gear, shouldn’t need to select edit to see notes. Need to be able to covert to a pdf or something more universal for printing.

I’ve had this app for at least 5 years. It moves with you from phone to phone because it’s cloud based (that’s why you create an account). The insurance part hasn’t worked in years so even if you want to get insurance through the app, you can’t. I’ve found out in the last 2 weeks that exporting your data as CSV file is useless because the file will be missing some of your gear. I have 75 items in the app but it only shows 62 when exporting. This actually makes it useless for reporting purposes because now you have to go into a spreadsheet yourself and add things manually to the spreadsheet. This completely defeats the purpose of the app. I tried contacting the developers through their site and got no reply. It’s a shame because otherwise the app is really great.

If you are adding new gear and enter purchase date and then go to another app it starts all over and deletes your progress. Doesn’t do it until you enter purchase date. You can choose type of gear and leave and it stays up. You can add receipt and leave and it stays up. You can even enter purchase price and leave to another app or whatever and it is still up when you return. But once you enter purchase date it you go to another app you get to start all over. Now that I did the trouble shooting for you Please fix it!

Yeah after inputting all my gear prices taking pictures of my receipts,I cannot get insurance they say they’re working on it

Canon RF lenses don’t seem to be in the database and need to be added manually. Makes me think the app is. It being updated and will one day just disappear - taking my info away with it. Better to keep info that would be needed for an insurance claim in a spot that you have control over.

I have been using this app for about two years now and it is a great way for me to keep track of my gear and costs. The only thing I would like to have is a ipad version. Because the app shares the information between my ipad and phone I use my ipad for inputting my information. I use my ipad in landscape orientation with a remote keyboard and the app does not rotate. An ipad version would be a great addition to a great app.

This just might be the klunkiest App I’ve ever downloaded. If you get rid of a piece of gear there is no way to delete it.
