1. [R4] Home Contents 1/5 · US Not for multiple users: It does not work with a spouse or family as it only syncs with 1 Apple ID. Allow it to sync with other devices for family members or use a different sync service that allows this basic functionality.
2. [R12] Home Contents 3/5 · US Great but missing one thing!: Would be 5 stars but can’t collaborate with spouse on our home inventory. It’s limited to one Apple account Bummer…
3. [R37] Home Contents 1/5 · GB Rubbish: Spent hours entering data but when syncing to another iPad it was all lost. Do not recommend you use this app if you want to use across a number of devices.
4. [R2] Home Contents 5/5 · US Love it - just one downside: I love the app - it’s a game changer. Only thing I wish was different is that there was a desktop version or website you could login through. When you have a lot to upload, it sucks having to do it from your phone. But that’s not a big deal, just a personal preference so I would 100% still give it 5 stars!
5. [R9] Home Contents 3/5 · US MacOS App?: At first I thought that this was the solution I’ve been looking for until I realized there’s no companion app for MacOS. Not even a ported in version from iOS or iPadOS. Many people work from their Mac and use iOS as the companion app.
6. [R20] Home Contents 4/5 · US Fantastic: Honestly my only qualm with this app is that it doesn’t have an android or desktop equivalent. Other than that this app of perfect in my opinion. I love the one time fee instead of having to subscribe as someone on the low income side.
7. [R48] Home Contents 3/5 · GB Mac updates: Is there a way to snapshot all the item on the iPhone and then simplify the text fields entry by using a Mac as I find Text updates via the iPhone is quite slow
8. [R13] Home Contents 1/5 · US Great concept |hard to use.: Should be easier, finally figured out how to sync, but won’t do it. After an hour fiddling with it, I give up. Glad I didn’t purchase first and only added one item. If itv were easier to sync between devices, I’d try again.
9. [R19] Home Contents 1/5 · US Won’t save items if sync enabled: I’ve added several items with photos and descriptions, put them in a category and location, and they simply disappear after a few minutes. This app used to work correctly when I downloaded it two years ago. The workaround seems to be that you can disable all sync functions between iCloud or other devices running the app. Since I’ve done that, it stopped wiping ou
10. [R34] Home Contents 2/5 · GB Disappointing: As a user of the very best fitness tracker on the store (weight diary) I thought I'd give this, curlybrace's only other app, a try. I have to say I was very disappointed. The UI is polished ( thus 2 stars rather than 1) but functionality is poor. Certainly there are better free options on the store. Additionally, more seriously there's a nasty bug. When I sync to cloud it sticks. Th
11. [R6] Home Contents 3/5 · US Meh: Not detailed enough. I asked the developer about subcategories and he responded with something about not wanting people to record every paperclip they own. Maybe I expected too much for the $5.99 price tag. I just want to be able to record items that are in boxes in various storage places rather that searching the entire room for an item I use once a year.
12. [R15] Home Contents 3/5 · US Not quite there. Needs more: Nice idea but needs more to make really usable.
13. [R18] Home Contents 3/5 · US So close!: I would love to use this app, but the lack of tagging at the location level kills it for my primary use case: inventory for moving house. The “locations” are literally represented by cardboard boxes. Let me tag them and associate bar codes with them. Then it works. Pro version even has multiple properties (read: actual locations) Such a nice interface, too. Too bad.
14. [R21] Home Contents 3/5 · US Container (Boxes)?: No way to put an item in a Box that can be moved from location to location. Each item has to be moved separately: both tedious and useless.
15. [R16] Home Contents 1/5 · US Now worth it: Doesn’t let me add pictures from my camera roll!
16. [R30] Home Contents 3/5 · US Nice, but poor camera performance with iPhone: It works OK but the camera performance is poor. No autofocus. Also why can’t I paste text in the fields?
17. [R44] Home Contents 3/5 · GB The camera’s live view is rotated, making it unusable in landscape mode: You want to add an item with the built in camera? Don’t try, such a basic feature is messed up. The live image while taking a photo is rotated by 90degrees, making it pretty much impossible to frame an item. For example, you move your iPad left to frame the item, yet the live image is shifting upwards, as everything is rotate
18. [R10] Home Contents 1/5 · US Scam!: This company charged my credit card without any authorization from me! Fraud big time!
19. [R28] Home Contents 2/5 · GB Looks okay but…: Trying to find a decent inventory app. This looks quite good but why do I have to pay £8.99 for ‘most’ features and an extra £1.99 to remove branding. Then I see one review mentioning that in the last version features were removed and then re-added at an extra charge. Starts to worry me. I’ve bought too many apps that cost a lot and then flip to subscription and rip me off. I’ll k
20. [R46] Home Contents 3/5 · GB Limited free offering: Can only store up to 25 items in fee version. Like the functionality but not sure I’d pay £4.99 for all features.
21. [R52] iCollect Everything 5/5 · US Great for organizing my action figure collection: I love the ease of the barcode scanning system as well the built value estimates provided by the app. I’m really excited to get a handle on my collection and this app checks all the boxes.
22. [R55] iCollect Everything 5/5 · US I collect seems to work very well: First time user and so far it seems to work well. Easy to catalog open items. Easy to add to a list.
23. [R58] iCollect Everything 5/5 · US Excellent to book keep: I got the app because I was ordering movies I already had. iCollect makes me keep an inventory of my movies and books. Their scan functionality is a great feature which allows me to scan multiple items in one streak! Love the app. Highly recommended if you have a large collection :)
24. [R61] iCollect Everything 5/5 · US So far so good: Simple design, quick and easy to use
25. [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
26. [R72] Sortly 5/5 · US Absolute best system for organization and inventory: I have gone through pretty much every single app and service out there and sortly has always done everything that I needed to in terms of organizing things I have for sale to personal collections to household inventory. I love their QR feature. It works excellent. I use it to sort all my shelves. I want to say a big thank you to the developer fo
27. [R74] Sortly 5/5 · US Insanely useful: Use the app to catalog my war gaming miniatures collection.
28. [R76] Sortly 5/5 · US My review: I love this app. I have a cookie business and it helps me to see and keep up my cutters and stencils that I use constantly.
29. [R79] MyStuff2 Pro 1/5 · US Disabled Editing: I’ve used this app for ever and I used to love it. It’s so convenient and versatile, and can be easily configured to your needs. You can also add pictures to your items. I had no issues with it until the latest update which forces me to save to the cloud, which I don’t want or need to do. The app gives me no choice however, and has locked the editing function until I do. I am so
30. [R80] MyStuff2 Pro 5/5 · US Personal touch: This app does what it claims and makes any collector’s life more manageable. But the person behind it puts it over the top. I used an earlier version of this app from 2015-18, and recently started using it again. On happenstance, I crashed the app and it generated an email to Rick, the developer, and he emailed me several times to walk me through upgrading to the newer version of t
31. [R83] MyStuff2 Pro 5/5 · US Very useful: I started using this app on my iPhone years ago and revisited it occasionally to add more items, mostly craft supplies, to keep track of them more easily. Today I tried it on my MacBook for the first time, and to my surprise it was very easy! It even has a paste-from-clipboard function which is great for quick screenshots of my order. I will be adding more “stuff” not craft-supply rel
32. [R89] MyStuff2 Pro 5/5 · US Took me a minute…: The naming convention was new to me. Once I got the UI (two modes, create and edit) and the names of the features I needed. Well I was still a bit lost. Two emails to support, and I was back on track. It is the combination of features and thoughtful help that deserves real praise.
33. [R94] Under My Roof Home Inventory + 5/5 · US Great, great app, Couldn’t do without!: I’ve tried several home inventory apps, but Home Inventory is by far the best one I’ve used! This app is incredibly detail-oriented. You can add photos, receipts, purchase dates, warranties, serial numbers, estimated values, and tons of custom details for every item in your home. It makes creating a thorough home inventory super easy and organized. The app i
34. [R97] Under My Roof Home Inventory + 5/5 · US Best-in-class: I’ve been a user of UMR (and Home Inventory before it) for more years than I can count. It’s been an amazing app that only gets better with time. The developer is always there to help when it is needed. As the world gets inundated with more and more AI slop, the more grateful I am for apps like this that are crafted by humans who actually care.
35. [R98] Under My Roof Home Inventory + 3/5 · US Great Inventory, Kludgy Reports: The app is great for capturing the details - so many default and optional fields. But with all this data, creating custom report is very frustrating. I should just be able to pick and choose the fields I want, and not be forced to use pre-defined reports with limited parameters.
36. [R100] Under My Roof Home Inventory + 5/5 · US Useful if you use it: To the extent I use the app, it’s helpful to organize receipts, warranties, manuals, etc. I could definitely get more from if it if I remember to add new items to it more regularly. It could be a little more user friendly to add documents - you can’t easily drag and drop how you might expect. They’re always coming out with new features to make it better, it’s way better than
37. [R108] Everspruce Home Inventory 5/5 · US Perfect for Moving: Kept me and my family organized during our move. Highly recommend. Best App out there!
38. [R111] Everspruce Home Inventory 5/5 · US Love it!: I have amor 400 items logged into the app and I keep adding to it. I love how easy it is to add a batch of items quickly then add tags and other information later. I really feel that the support is so responsive to resolve any issues I've run in to.
39. [R114] Everspruce Home Inventory 5/5 · US A Must have app! With 5 Star Customer Support!: This app is exactly what I’ve been hoping for. I can’t thank the developer enough for their incredible help and patience when I had an issue, I caused myself. As for the App, Whenever I needed something, I knew I had one somewhere, but I could never find it. So, I’d end up buying another one, only to discover the original a day or two later. It was
40. [R118] Everspruce Home Inventory 5/5 · US Wonderful for keeping track of items in your house, or stored somewhere else: We’ve used Everspruce to keep a detailed record of what we have in a storage unit and in our basement, what’s in each bin/box, as well as what we have in closets/dressers/etc. in a vacation home. It’s easy to keep updated, sort, categorize, and search!
41. [R51] iCollect Everything 1/5 · US Bait n switch: I have a very extensive collection of die cast , action figures . Sports card , Pokémon cards etc. so I decided to try this app right off the bat you have to pick your subscription level.. I chose lifetime since it was for everything 99$. Then comes the upgrade to pro to unlock all the special features .. another 99$ I passed on that one n glad I did. On the action figures it was s
42. [R56] iCollect Everything 3/5 · US LIMITED: not a bad app overall but unfortunately it’s not really free. It only gives you about 30 scans before it makes you pay for “unlimited access” and of course the subscriptions range from $40 to $100.
43. [R57] iCollect Everything 1/5 · US Mehhh: I was looking for an app to keep track of my Black Series figures and Funko pop collection and this app was in all of my google searches labeled as FREE. Which it is NOT. you only get 15 scans until you have to buy a membership or upgrade. The price isn’t even reasonable. The cheap option is like $30. I’m sorry, I’m not paying $30 for something I can do in my Notes app. The pricing o
44. [R62] iCollect Everything 3/5 · US Good but… not actually free: Looks like a free app, has really good customization- but you can only do up to 15 of an item before you have to pay :(
45. [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!
46. [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
47. [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.
48. [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
49. [R112] Everspruce Home Inventory 3/5 · US Almost: This is exactly what I’m looking for but like other reviewers have stated, my family needs to be able to access it, and this is something that should have a lifetime purchase option. This is not an app that provides content - should be a one time purchase. I would 100% be a paying customer if these were fixed.
50. [R115] Everspruce Home Inventory 1/5 · US Does not support family sharing: This is really a pain since we share a home and storage area, but since I cannot share the subscription I am the only one who can make entries or I have to give my phone to someone else to make/add/edit entries. This is not a usable app for anyone who co-owns items.
