Ratings and reviews

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.

Great for my job but you need to fix an issue with the scanning side. When you click on + to open your fields, and then click on the barcode button the left side, it goes to your camera like normal. However, when you click on the back button (I'm on Galaxy Note 9), it doesn't go back to the fields at all. It goes back to the main list, deleting all the previous data you already added in.

Fantastic for inventory management at my job. The export and cloud feature makes it great for maintaining my own master spreadsheets. However, the recent update to the scanning engine, while improving speed, appears to have partially broken scanning of data matrix barcodes. The app now fails to scan any 2D data matrix below a certain physical size, where in the previous version they scanned without issue. This necessitated rolling back to the version prior. Great app otherwise.

Thanks for the feedback! We’ve fixed the issue where tapping the photo field didn’t open the camera.
