The best expiry & shopping list
This is absolutely the best app available for shopping and food expiry Congratulations on such great design I will be telling everyone about it and will be donating for sure. This is the type of app that should be supported. It is simple. It does the job perfectly. And it doesn’t collect data. I just wish there were more apps out there with all these features. Who really needs fluff and flashy. All you need is an app that does the job simple, elegantly, and aboveboard
Very flexible and great for what I needed
I really like this app. When I started thinking I wanted to track our food use and keep track of what we have I started looking for apps. Wow there are a lot and none seem to be what I wanted. I gave this a try because it was free and had mostly positive reviews. I really like it. First of all I would def pay a couple dollars for it. It can do almost everything I want with a little work. This works to organize much more than food. I use it for paper products, cleaning supplies and even essential oils. Very versatile. The bar code scanner is nice feature. If there was some changes it would be 5 stars. 1) would like to add categories while entering a product, not having to close out and go back to settings 2) be able to delete a category incase u change the way things r organized. 3) I would like Manufactures and Product name to be different lines. I don’t care necessarily what brand toilet paper I have but that I have two packages. But I would want to know what brand of shampoo I had because everyone in the house uses different ones. 4) ability to enter more info like qty and how it comes. Like the number of trash bags in a box. Yes I could do it already by selecting pieces. I would like to know I have 2 boxes of trash bags each containing 50 bags. Maybe one is a 30 Ct and one 50ct. Yes this is micro managing but it would be nice. 5) VERY Important- goes back to point 3. I want my list alphabetized by product name not brand. Like coco powder then sweetened milk; Not Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk then Hersheys Coco powder. Just a few ideas I think would make this just a bit easier to use.
Save food, money and it free!
Help me from buying to much and using what I got, so now I don’t end up wasting food. Plus side it free and is better than other paid ones, yes you can tip and will be in the near future. Only small complaint there no “Use by date” so have to use “Expiration date” which the app has, not idea but not a deal breaker and no star off because of it.
Decent app
After editing categories, icons seem slow to update. Adding new items seems somewhat less than intuitive. QR codes don’t seem to work. Would be nice if size/quantity could be entered separately (with size related to bar code). Need to see which iCloud account is sync’d, and change it to a different one if desired.
A hidden gem!!
Version 2 has just been released and while it’s not 100% there just yet (the developers are ironing out a few bugs) as a pantry / grocery App this blows the paid/subscription competition out of the water… Yes it’s FREE! But I made a donation as it’s such a good implementation of this genre it’s worth it. It handles multiple inventory locations and expiry dates. It automatically sets items as open upon consumption. Why is this helpful?? Lets say you buy a big tub of yogurt like I do. It may expire in 2 months but as soon you open it you have 1 week. Foodshiner will prompt you for a new expiry date as soon as you “open” or consume some of a product. It can set minimal stock amounts with decimal places… think about this for a second. Other Apps that do this only allow whole numbers. Why? With Foodshiner I can set my minimum stock on my loaf of bread to 0.5. When it’s more than half eaten I need to buy a new one! Not when I have 0 in stock or when I have 1 in stock! You shopping list will be 90% complete if you set these. It allows prices (few bugs but hold on). It allows bar codes. It allows photos (for a more visual experience). It helps you determine if you are wasting food. It has shopping lists (auto generated if you set minimum amounts). Believe me when I say you will love this App. Like all such Apps you need to invest the time to set it up, but once you have you will get all the benefits. A few emails to the devs and this is certainly one to watch as there are plans for more features still to come!!
Definitely the best pantry tracking app
I did a lot of research into food and pantry tracking apps last year upon buying a chest freezer and needing a way to track what I put in it. I tried a few but liked this one the best. This app has the nicest UI, no frills or tacky images, which is lovely since I’m using it pretty much every day and I’m fussy about that sort of thing. It’s easy to share storage lists with other members of your household, and has the best privacy-respecting options (no trackers, doesn’t store any data). There have been a couple of updates already since I started using it so it’s nice to see new features keep coming. We haven’t wasted any food since starting to use it which feels really good. And it’s free!
Potential game changer in my kitchen!
So far so good. I spent yesterday afternoon scanning all my food stocks into the app. Oh dear - lots of expired items but I don’t think they’ll poison me! Shopped this morning and easily added all the new stuff with barcodes. Made lunch and scanned all the ingredients and marked them as consumed. Brilliant. Emailed developer with a suggested improvement and he’s looking at it. If you want to reduce food waste this could be a great tool for you.
Wonderful App
I've recently been on a hunt for a good way to track food storage, and after trying a bunch of apps I finally discovered FoodShiner. It has one of the best, lowest friction workflows for adding and managing items. Plus, unlike most others, it doesn't require signing up for a service; instead, it uses iCloud while still easily allowing sharing of lists between family members. The developer is also very responsive to feedback. Thanks for a fantastic app!
Has potential but needs some work
Here’s a few features I hope the developer will implement soon: 1. Edit names, categories, and expiry date of items 2. A more robust bar code scanning process. It’s a little finicky right now Things I absolutely love: 1. iCloud sync 2. Seamless sharing between other users. 3. iOS centric UI/UX
Has everything, the more I use it the more I find.
Wonderful app and very useful.

Fantastic app. Best of its kind. Scanner works (UK) and if item isn’t recognised it’s easy to add to the database for everyone. Well organised, love the ability to also print the list of items in the pantry. Brilliant.

I love how easy this is to use! Keeps me organized. I now know what I have in my fridge, freezer and pantry. Love that they don’t swindle you into a subscription or track your info. Great App!

the app works nicely only the open in the smart list does not work on the iphone and the ipad for that I give the app three stars It would also be nice if there were a list that indicates when products are out in that way you avoid double purchases
