1. [R1] 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
2. [R16] 5/5 · US Best Database App: I’ve been using this app for years to keep track of my extensive doll collection & accessories. Love how it can be customized to suit my needs.
3. [R18] 5/5 · US Best tool for professionals: I have worked for over five years as a store designer at a furniture retail store, where we needed to maintain a strict inventory for important meetings and inspections. This app not only made me more productive and gave me quick access to all necessary information, but it also allowed me to send accurate reports directly to my supervisors. With features like photos, b
4. [R20] 5/5 · US 5+Stars! Best ever, Love It and the Support!: I can’t remember how many years ago I started using this app, has to be more than a decade! Give yourself time to learn it and understand that’s the developer is a pro. Problems are likely new user related. Separate data files are helpful, I have one for books and another for the contents and location for big storage totes. Keep it simple or add lots
5. [R5] 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
6. [R6] 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
7. [R11] 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.
8. [R13] 5/5 · US Best Database Program Out there!: I have used this programs to create various databases including home inventory and other collections. The developer has been amazing supporting the product over the years. Recently, I asked him a question regarding the summary average and lo and behold, he has updated the app with the latest upgrade to allow for Calculated Summary. Thank you Rick for your work,
9. [R3] 2/5 · US Bar code scanner is messed up!: It seems that every other update issued for this app results in the barcode scanner using my Ipad's camera becoming royally screwed up. It results in a disoriented camera that displays the image at a rotated 90 degrees from what it should be. It makes trying to center the barcode on the bluray/dvd case nearly impossible. In most cases, I just enter the barcode numbe
10. [R15] 5/5 · US Love the App: I’ve been using this app for years. I’m a very organized person and before I found this app, I was going crazy trying to organize my movies, my books & precious metals. I have it all organized now. Thank you for this app!
11. [R66] 5/5 · US Works with M1 Mac chip: I literally bought a Mac with the new M1 chip so I could run this app on my Mac. I’ve been using the MyStuff2 Pro iOS app for many, many, many years and that’s always been the only disadvantage was no Corresponding Mac support. Prior to the M1 chip I’d go in phases where I’d search for an alternate app that solved this problem. There are many great apps out there. But none
12. [R67] 5/5 · US Coin Shop: I use it for my inventory at my shop and works great. I like the way it integrates with IPad and IPhone. Would recommend.
13. [R4] 1/5 · US Glitchy Crashy Mess: I’ve been using the app for years and for the last year the quality has gone down hill. It constantly refreshes to the top of the list when searching through your library, exits out of the search function mid typing, and now it has started freezing and crashing. If there is an alternative out there, use it. Library without access is no use to anyone.
14. [R31] 1/5 · US Crashed adding first record: After spending more than an hour to set up a sample database, it crashed adding the first record. I don't have the time or patience to debug this application. Moving on.
15. [R52] 1/5 · US Disappointing…: This app used to be great, but lately it crashes constantly, not to mention, randomly deleting items from my inventory. It used to update from my iPad to my phone, but now they no longer do that. I have tried restoring from a backup, but that no longer works on my phone. Very disappointing to have invested so much time, only to have it longer work.
16. [R59] 1/5 · US App keeps crashing: App has worked fine for years. Now every time I try to use the app it crashes. Please resolve this. Update 2/5/22. No response from developer. App crashes seconds after opening on both iPhone and iPad. App is useless now. Sure would like some guidance from developer.
17. [R8] 4/5 · US It was good…: I use to love this app. Even after the iCloud integration almost deleted my entire database before (glad I back up regularly) I have loved using this app. Until recently that it where the UI updated. The new update that pushed the Liquid Glass design has broken the app. I cannot make edits or copy entries to make new entries with similar data. This used to be the best database app on
18. [R23] 3/5 · US Horrible iCloud syncing: This used to be a great app, but maybe iCloud doesn’t work with it anymore. Anytime I update info on device 1 and then open the app on device 2, the outdated information on 2 overwrites the information, and then when I open the app on device 1, all my work has been replaced. It’s fine if you only work with one device, but I don’t trust it at all on any more than that anymo
19. [R29] 1/5 · US iCloud Sync doesn't work: I share a large databse with my wife and have her idenfied as being able to make changes to the database. Anything she does does not sync to the cloud and any changes I make don't make it to her devices no matter how long we wait. I reached out for support a few days ago and am still waiting for a reply. Time to look for another solution. The vendors need to understan
20. [R30] 4/5 · US Great, but with syncing between devices issues: Overall, it’s fantastic, but I can’t get it to sync between devices for the life of me anymore. Before MacOS Sonoma, when I made a change on my iPhone it would show up nearly instantaneously on my Mac. But now very occasionally it will decide to sync, but I have no idea what triggers it. I’m not sure if this is an iCloud problem or an app problem, bu
21. [R2] 3/5 · US Simple features are overly complicated: I was excited to find the app, but adding items to a container takes three to four clicks per-item; and it will not let me scan and add duplicates - scanning a barcode of two of the same items to put into a single container throws a uniqueness constraint error saying I have to name them differently. So much for keeping track of how many widgets of the same t
22. [R33] 3/5 · US Entry Scan barcode: After scanning barcode why do I still have to enter information about the movie when it should already be captured and entered automatically. I expect better for a PRO version that I paid for, it would take me months to enter all that information of over 1,000 blu-ray and DVD.. seriously, this app needs some serious improvements.
23. [R40] 3/5 · US Fix Camera: I would like to use the barcode scanner more but it doesn’t focus on smaller barcodes. I thought it was my camera but other apps focus properly.
24. [R10] 1/5 · US Terrible UI, unusable: Whoever designed this app has to have zero training in UI design or usability. You open the app and there are no clear instructions, help button, or commonly recognizable icons. I’ve worked in UI design and we’re well past people building apps with such a terrible interface. Read a design book. Ask AI to improve your interface. I’m moving on to another app.
25. [R12] 4/5 · US Excellent app, but no global undo.: I recently auditioned over 20 database apps before landing on this one -- at least for now. It has the functionality I need and the freedom to manipulate information that I'm looking for in home and small business management. The UI is smooth and intuitive, once you've spent some time with it. There's hardly anything in the way of videos or a manual. That said,
26. [R14] 1/5 · US Doesn’t work: Spent ten minutes trying to add a single item and the + button never appeared. None of the official FAQs helped either.
27. [R22] 2/5 · US Not user friendly: I purchased the pro version to prep for a PCS and it just didn’t deliver like I expected. It’s not user friendly at all, and there’s a lot of bugs that need to be fixed. The item description shows up twice on the title (example: ItemItem) which is super annoying. I’m completely unable to remove a barcode. And it’s just overall difficult to navigate. Save your money and just make
28. [R7] 2/5 · US Data disappeared after last update: This was a decent app to inventory my large collection… although it was a bit clunky. I have a lot of sub-subcategories and I wondered if it was going to be able to handle it all. Now with the latest update, it appears that a ton of my hard work has disappeared… photos and all. I really have no desire to put all that back in again, especially not knowing if it’
29. [R28] 1/5 · US Product images gone missing!!!: We been using MyStuff pro for a long time. Recently we have encountered that every time we do any updates to the category template, say adding or changing attributes to a category. Some product images get deleted after saving the new attributes. In addition we notice some products got completely deleted as well. Moreover the location of some products got changed t
30. [R72] 5/5 · US Locations removed: The last update removed all the locations from my inventory items.
31. [R116] 1/5 · US Disappointed: I purchased the app thinking that i would be able to better keep track of the equipment I take care of. unfortunately afyer a purchased the app and updated all my "pro" features are gone to the extent that i cannot add any data to this Piece of $h!t app. wasted my money, lesson learned.
32. [R84] 2/5 · US Exporting is a Nightmare: It took me seven months of periodically attempting to export my data to finally succeed. I would try periodically, got exasperated after an hour of long waits followed by error messages, and gave up for a while before trying again. I reached out to the developer when I first ran into issues, and he responded with things to try, but then tried to pin blame on Apple if none
33. [R114] 2/5 · US Kinda ok: Couple of things don’t work. Add attachment - you would think this would allow a file like a pdf of a receipt to be added. But it isn’t. It exports your database so it can be an attachment. This is useless as it also has an export option which is meant for this purpose. Add photo. Well kinda works. It seems to want to get photos from the videos folder, making it impossible to add photos
34. [R173] 3/5 · US MyStuff2 Pro: I love the way I can scan and keep a list of my movies. Problem is, it is way too complicated to export my stuff from my iPhone to my iPad.
35. [R189] 3/5 · US Missing OneDrive Support: Please add option to export data to OneDrive.
36. [R9] 1/5 · US Just a money grab: I’ve used this app for years to track my personal library. When I first got it, I paid to upgrade to a pro version. Later upgrades tried to make me pay again, but I was able to sort that out with support. Now it’s asking me to pay 20 more dollars to upgrade to unlimited items, which I’m already supposed to have. Don’t waste your money or time.
37. [R69] 2/5 · US Used for years...still the best database out there: I’ve used MyStuff2 for years. It’s the only iPad database that allows any attachment you desire to import. If it were not for this major feature it just wouldn’t be a database. Update: 2021 Jan. I regret giving this app high marks in the past. Support was never answered. Since the newest updates I lost my purchased versions and restoring d
38. [R88] 2/5 · US Not all here: Downloaded trial tried several books and only title and image inputted. Unlike other barcode scanning systems this falls WAY short. Plan on LOTS of manual entry. Not for large libraries.
39. [R34] 2/5 · US Confusing: I was hopeful that this would allow me to track all my tools scattered in different parts of the home. I couldn’t get past just the default categories. I wanted to edit and/or delete them, so I could add my own categories. Doesn’t appear that is possible.
