MyGearVault

Love this app and have used for several years now. However, since last update the main total spent has disappeared from the all kits view and I’m getting some freezes after adding new items. Please fix in next update!

I didn’t understand certain elements of this app at first, but after adding more kit I soon realised more categories are created automatically as you add more kit. It seemed more logical to me to add kit to categories rather than categorise kit as it’s added, but that just may be my IT brain! There was confusion trying to work out what the difference is between kit and gear, and the ready examples of gear are a little weird. I’m not sure people would categorise their gear in the way set out by the examples. After a while though, I realised it is a very useful app and it’s free so moaning about it in any non constructive way seems very unfair to me. Well done Jared, all in all very good and will only get better.

It doesn’t appear usable in landscape format, so not designed for IPad. Also, requires a login for some reason.

There is no way to have a local gear vault as you have to be logged in to use the app ... uninstalled directly. ## edit ## Hi Jared, I understand the need to save MGV in the cloud but we can save apps data directly in iCloud without giving away our email address.

For UK users this is basically just a useful app for cataloging equipment. The insurance element is still US only. Given that it is free a lot of good work has gone into this app. My only criticisms are that you can only add one photo of an item (it is also possible to add one of the serial number and one of the receipt in different sections), I would like to be able to add more images. Also in order to view all the information you have entered you have to edit an item because the summary page is too brief. Lastly a few more categories (or custom ones) would be very helpful, such as Software and Samples. The app does receive fairly regular bug fixes so it looks like support is continued.

Having recently been burgled and lost a camera and lens combo, discovering this app was very timely. The concept is fantastic but having had to deal with insurance companies there is a major flaw in the pricing information held for your equipment. Unless I have completely missed it, there needs to be an additional field which allows you to enter a “replacement value“. The price you pay for piece of kit is never going to be the same as the replacement value, as I discovered to my detriment when the insurance company failed to pay out in full for a claim. Currency fluctuations can massively affect replacement values and if you find that you are under insured, the insurance company can take you to the cleaners.

Using this a lot now. Extremely useful ap and amazingly helpful particularly on location. I’m a pro cinematographer in constant need of tweaking kits and this is the only real ap out there for guys like me. Can’t recommend enough. Only reason I’ve given 4 and not 5 stars is because I can’t print out the pics stored in the ap with my lists. Heard this was going to update soon. Please hurry to add this feature.

Have Finally decided that I need to have a record of all my gear, I was going to just do my own spreadsheet......then I found this app which will do it all and more! Thanks Mr Fro 👌🏻

Amazing app to have all your stuff catalogued in one place. And a piece of cake to use. Don't know how it would work with the different currencies but would be nice to have a "current market value" estimate built in so you could decide if you wanted to sell your gear to buy new stuff!

Good app for cataloging your gear, seems stable but could do with more development to increase flexibility. Custom categories needed.
