Ratings and reviews

An absolutely perfect app for the situation that I needed. Was updating a fire alarm panel that uses barcodes for the serial numbers and had to write them all down to map the system. This app made my job a hundred times easier than what it would have been. I tried at least 3 other apps that have the similar set up but we're not as user friendly as this one. The ability to export via email or even upload to Google Drive is very nice. I'd give it an 9.5 out of 10, certainly user friendly, very useful, and no deceptive ads. A few things I'd like to see for settings but all around a great app. My favorite part, which also kept me in check, was the fact that if I happened to come across a device that I already did it registered that and added another to that so I was able to see I did it. Certainly would be good for doing inventory and keeping track of stock. Thanks for the work here, keep it up!

I hate to blast in here, but when I try to use the link to contact in the app, they don't actually do anything. The email doesn't have a send to filled in when clicked. Either way, I've built a sheet and even if I load random data, I'm unable to hit save or save and close on an entry. Both options do nothing, no error, the only option I can choose is cancel. It used to work great, now not so much

Might be a good fit for a different purpose or different type of inventory?? My purpose was to create an inventory of all my media (movies, music, gaming, etc) by scanning just the UPC and having the info automatically ready to go into an Excel Spreadsheet. This was the best recommendation, per Google. Guess what the scan shows in the app? The UPC code and that's it.....so every piece of info still needs to be manually added. I am looking for a Timesaver and this app is not it for me.
