I was thinking about keeping track of all the food I have by pen and paper but thought someone must have thought of this as an app.
Tried out free versions and researched paid ones like this one. The others felt messy or just didn't suit how I wanted it to be.
Only one other had the "expired" feature but the interface didn't appeal to me. "Less is more" is something I go by when
buying most my stuff and "food inventory" works awesome in that way.
This thread is actually what made me buy it and I don't regret it, seems like you do care about improving it a lot. It has a permanent spot
on my homescreen along with very few other app's, great work!
Just felt like telling you that and also ask about some things Iv'e thought about while using it
A few thoughts (highly subjective suggestions based on my own use).
1. "Categories" I don't have any use for the "uncategorized" and have deleted it a coule of times, but it appears again and again empty.
2. I believe many have said this and saw a comment here to, but being able to sync the list with someone else would be perfect,
so if more than one person share the fridge they can note when they use or eat something. Than it will remain
accurate and food won't be mysteriously gone when I / we need it.
3. Export/backup, if I would like to send a list to my computer, mail or another way that would be good and backup
because I generally don't trust electronics, like having backup and good when planning dinner.
4. Don't believe this will happen, but similar to "2" it would be nice if it was possible to change the inventory from the computer to,
but that's just because the one I'm sharing fridge with doesn't have any device (yet) to run this app
(and I haven't seen any possibility for sync but wishing for it)
5. Profiles, instead of a long list with categories/status etc having for example one page just for
"Fridge" and one just for "Food cabinet" or if I get more than one fridge (which I'm thinking about).
6. Remembering groceries, if I have typed in milk once and than deleted it because it's run out, when I resupply and wan't to add
it again a nice thing would be if when I type "M" it will suggest all the things I typed in before with that letter.
7. The strawberry icon? It's not that I think it's that ugly but it doesn't get me the feel of what the app really is, the style of it,
what it does. I almost overlooked this app because of it, thinking it was something "cheap and messy"
I don't need (just sharing what my first impression was not bashing it to much
)
But lucky enough I like researching things that has potential more throughly, but for someone whose not looking for a specific app like
I was might not take much notice in the sea of app's.
You might be way ahead with these things, but felt like it could be worth mentioning. The app is exactly what it needs to be for me,
but the things Iv'e listened, would for me enhance the experience with it a lot.
ShopShop (shopping list) is btw a free app I use frequently along with this one and has a similar feel of ease working with so
perfect combo and inspiration for some of the things I listened I would like in the app. Do believe this will never happen,
but when something reaches zero it would have been awesome just to "export" that to a list in ShopShop with a simple click
inside the program. It's not to bothersome quitting this app opening ShopShop and writing it in but that
would have been awesome xD
