1. [R1] Inventory Now 1/5 · US Subscription cost for over 20 items is $60 a year: Just looking for free simple app.
2. [R2] Inventory Now 4/5 · US Locks: This app looks great but I couldn’t try the features. The price is reasonable. However, the app locks at 20 items of inventory in the free version. I didn’t realize that would happen so I didn’t try all the features before it locked. I also did not have a chance to export the inventory before it locked, so it wasted 2 hrs of my time.
3. [R4] Inventory Now 1/5 · US Bad Support: I used the free version for years. They decided to make it a paid service without giving any warning now my inventory is locked up with no way to retrieve it. I would pay except they are 2 different apps.
4. [R16] Inventory Now 1/5 · US They should not update: I stopped using this app after recent update. New updated app is literally “New app, with different data format and payment plan. I bought iphone and ipad app. But my app status is now ‘trial’ and ask to subscribe monthly payment. I talked to the developer about the data format but he didn’t understand still. So I gave off. He should leave the old app and build new one.
5. [R10] Inventory Now 1/5 · US A Nightmare!!!: I would give this a negative reviews if I could!! I pulled up the app today to find that all of my inventory is gone!!!! It shows I have absolutely 0 items in inventory!!! That is hours and hours of work all gone!! Truly a nightmare! I will be looking for a new inventory management system today!
6. [R13] Inventory Now 1/5 · US Doesn’t sync, messed up my inventory, CS does not respond: We have only 2 devices, and this app can’t keep track of inventory and sync 2 iPhones. My inventory is messed up! Customer service doesn’t even reply. And it is a PAID SOFTWARE!!
7. [R18] Inventory Now 1/5 · US They deleted my 1 year-long inventory: Thanks a bunch. All my inventory is gone. Then an answer to contact them, they never answer.
8. [R24] Inventory Now 1/5 · US Seems to work great, but...: Was nifty. I set auto backup. It deleted everything and there is no way to restore from backup. Disappointed.
9. [R3] Inventory Now 3/5 · US Needs some extra features: I like this. What I think needs to be added and/or changed 1) be able to add multiple photos of items (I sell swim wear I need to see the front and back of the item) 2) add color option 3) add size option 4) make fields customizable That’s all I can think of that is missing for my needs in an app right now.
10. [R6] Inventory Now 3/5 · US Would give 5 but need to take more pix of items: Great user friendly app but you should be able to add more than one photo. I need to take multiple pix of my items. Please add this option
11. [R9] Inventory Now 3/5 · US Neat app, missing a few key features.: Overall a cool app for small biz inventory. I can think of two features that would make it 100% more useful for me: 1 per item type, the ability to have multiple "warehouses" (ex On Display, Stock Room A, Stock Room B, etc) 2 having the Location being a user-definable multi-value instead of a type in (ala Category). Having to type in the location is a sort
12. [R15] Inventory Now 3/5 · US More detail needed: I think this app needs work, for example I would like options to track individual sales within a single product. Details of specific customers and inventory reduction.
13. [R7] Inventory Now 1/5 · US No support: I downloaded and paid for the full package based on the reviews. I received several welcome emails mentioning I could email anytime to receive help with questions/concerns. I have sent 4 emails about a very simple question and have never received any support. Very disappointed and haven’t used the app since.
14. [R20] Inventory Now 1/5 · US .: Literally bought this moments ago. it loaded once, froze, and now will not start. Edit 11/4: in response to dev answer - I should hope so, I posted this review six years ago...
15. [R30] Inventory Now 2/5 · GB Not functioning correctly: When adding an item where it says sell price you want to add sell price it says how many you want to sell it thinks you are selling
16. [R28] Inventory Now 1/5 · US Does not search barcode database: Doesn't pull in data from a barcode database so useless for a small craft business. Waste of ~$5
17. [R52] HotStock 5/5 · US THANK YOU!: This app really works! I was recently able to successfully buy an item that’s been out of stock everywhere. It’s only because HotStock notified me that stock was available that I was able to complete the purchase. Within a minute, the item was OOS again!!
18. [R53] HotStock 1/5 · US Gimmick: You can really only track one thing at a time for free, you actually have to pay to get notified ahead of time as if that’s not what the original use of the app isn’t already for don’t bother
19. [R56] HotStock 5/5 · US Worth it: This was my first time using this app. I found it because I wanted to find a collector's edition of a game that is coming out soon and all the pre-orders sold out in like 10 minutes from the announcement. It took me a long time and probably 100+ attempts to get the game into my cart and buy it, but I finally got it! Definitely worth it, and I think the auto-buy feature that I did also he
20. [R57] HotStock 1/5 · US Doesn’t actually work: Paid for the membership and everytime the item stocks it can’t auto buy for me and sells out. What a waste
21. [R65] Sortly 1/5 · US Buggy: I’m sorry I got on it. These are the biggest issues: It either doesn’t save or looses data. It freezes the entire iPad. Add a note, then a price before saving. I dare you. The camera assumes you’re using iPhone.
22. [R66] Sortly 5/5 · US My sortly: I was very new to inventory and sorting boxes, sortly made it easy to learn use the sortly app. 1750 units inventoried
23. [R67] Sortly 3/5 · US Orientation on pictures: The orientation of pictures is not quite good always need to select on multiples shots. 3 of 5
24. [R69] Sortly 5/5 · US Not Recommend: For something to track inventory and nothing else, paying for subscription that jumps to over $1,000 is crazy. I’d rather redo my whole inventory (almost 2,000 items) than signup for their service again after using this app for almost two years!
25. [R79] Stockroom Inventory 1/5 · US Useless as a small business owner: Just trying to digitize my inventory but it only allows me to organize items alphabetically or by date created instead of by ID. So ID for each item is useless and the app did not even remember the order that I entered the items if it’s on the same day. Tried to export what I had to see how it would look and the doc is blank except for the apps name
26. [R80] Stockroom Inventory 4/5 · US Very handy, but: This is very handy for keeping track of household inventory for pool chemicals, pantry food, etc. I wish it allowed a decimal point in quantity and a line for the types of units (cans, boxes, lbs, ozs, whatever)
27. [R81] Stockroom Inventory 3/5 · US ATENCIÓN: La aplicación es increíble pero no te da seguridad al no tener una cuenta creada donde puedas respaldar tu trabajo! Me funcionó excelente por 2 años hasta que se me perdió mi teléfono y perdi todo lo que había hecho en todo este tiempo! Por favor corrijan eso! O al menos permitan importar documentos
28. [R82] Stockroom Inventory 1/5 · US Don’t bother: I was using the app to do some simple inventory and about a third of the way through, it was discovered the app was not saving the dates that were entered. Before using I did do a bunch of testing and all checked out fine. It just quit doing what it was supposed to. Not sure if the paid version is better, I wouldn’t waste my money after this and will be using a reputable known app.
29. [R93] Zoho Inventory Management App 2/5 · US Not sure what I expected for free: Good for tracking products, but not good for actual inventory because I need to be able to scan a barcode in real time and either add or subtract from my current stock and this can’t do this or I haven’t been able to find out how so then it would not be too user-friendly. I’ve been searching for at least the last 20 minutes. I would not recommend the product if y
30. [R94] Zoho Inventory Management App 5/5 · US Love this app. Very convenient: Love this app. Very convenient. All my issues were resolved, thank you 😊
31. [R95] Zoho Inventory Management App 3/5 · US App crashes when trying to scan item: App Seems to crash when it captures the barcode. Seems to be promising but not quite there yet :-(
32. [R96] Zoho Inventory Management App 1/5 · US 4 clicks to make one order fulfilled.: Marking an order as “Fulfilled” takes 4 clicks in different parts of the screen. It’s not streamlined- it’s a constant pain when you do this all day. Feels designed by engineers, not for real Warehouse work.
33. [R107] TrackaLacker 1/5 · US App is worthless: Nice bad first impression. Downloaded it to keep track of lorcana and of course get notifications of in stock but when i go to the website its still out of stock lol
34. [R108] TrackaLacker 5/5 · US LOVE THIS APP: I’ve been searching for this camera for almost a year with no luck because TikTok made it so popular that it’s always sold out. I found TrackaLacker, signed up, and within a day I got an alert that let me buy it before it sold out again. The app was super easy to use, and the notifications were fast and accurate. If you’re trying to get a hard-to-find item, I definitely recommend gi
35. [R109] TrackaLacker 3/5 · US It’s ok: It’s not too bad they give you pretty much one item that you can track for free but then if you want more than that like I do, which would be the ONE PIECE TCG you have to pay. These apps make more than enough money off advertising dollars. I don’t think you should have to pay for this.
36. [R110] TrackaLacker 1/5 · US Don’t buy: Just like every other app they don’t post re stocks until the item is sold out. You pay $25 a month for absolutely nothing. Only get this app if you have fetish for out of stock buttons
37. [R35] Inventory Now 5/5 · US Great but could use a couple more features: This is a great little app if you just need something simple to track you inventory. Would love two things added though: a place to input additional expenses, like office supplies or bulk shipping costs. Currently there is no place to track any expenses. I’d also like the ability to add more than 1 photo so I could add a photo of the item as well as a ph
38. [R11] Inventory Now 5/5 · US Fantastic app and support: I’ve been using this app for years now and it just gets better and better. The support and request for new features is amazing. I could absolutely not live without this!
39. [R71] Sortly 1/5 · US This has to stop: $450 for a yearly advanced plan? That's nuts. $45 isn't ideal for a basic plan. By the way, I got emails every day from Sortly until I yelled at them and they deleted my account
40. [R73] Sortly 1/5 · US Bait and switch: Despite a tremendous investment of time to get this software dialed in for my needs, I was satisfied with the overall capabilities. Three years into the subscription they sent an email notification that the annual rate would increase by over 300% in 30 days (from $468 to $1428). Needless to say the subscription has been cancelled and I am looking for another solution.
41. [R75] Sortly 1/5 · US Unethical Price Hike After Years of Loyalty. Overnight, Sortly More Than Doubled My Subscription $: I’ve been a Sortly customer for 5, 6 years, paying $1,180 a year for their Ultra plan. Last year, without my permission, they increased my payment and moved me to a higher rate. After multiple emails, they admitted the mistake, apologized, and moved me back. Now, I’ve received a 30-day notice that m
