  1. [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.
  2. [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
  3. [R61] 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
  4. [R70] Zoho Inventory Management App 2/5 · US Missing many features: I like Zoho inventory, and find the app very useful. But there are many features missing. Please improve
  5. [R5] Inventory Now 5/5 · US Inventory Now: This app is easy to use. You can add your own categories and sub-catagories.
  6. [R8] Inventory Now 5/5 · US Awesome App: This app has really helped my business, it’s an awesome app and I suggest everyone looking for an inventory app to get his one, you will not regret it! My business wouldn’t survive if it wasn’t for this app, it has benefited so much. This is the way to go and I wouldn’t change for anything. Thank you so much!
  7. [R64] 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.
  8. [R82] Zoho Inventory Management App 1/5 · US Very complicated to use: Very complex app, I can’t open on my computer. To add new vendors on the phone is really complicated.
  9. [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!
  10. [R31] Inventory Now 1/5 · US Not dependable: I put my entire inventory in this and it lost all my important bar pads and serial numbers and photos. Update. It does not sync well. I delete an item on one device and the other one puts it back on. I can get no help from support. Also, the iPad version is way too expensive. It should be a universal app.
  11. [R69] Zoho Inventory Management App 3/5 · US Crashes: New update crashes every time i try and switch to a new page. Please update soon I use this every day multiple times a day. Thank you.
  12. [R111] Zoho Inventory Management App 1/5 · US Useless: As soon as i try to open up a feature within the app it crashes, every time. Unusable
  13. [R1] Inventory Now 1/5 · US Subscription cost for over 20 items is $60 a year: Just looking for free simple app.
  14. [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.
  15. [R14] Inventory Now 5/5 · US Great app/ Great support: I’ve been using this app for a couple years now for a small business, it’s fantastic, 10 fold better than any other app I’ve tried and the customer service is hands down the best I’ve encountered, hats off to Logan for his app design/maintenance and above all his customer service
  16. [R42] Inventory Now 5/5 · US App is amazing, customer service is amazing: I downloaded this app to help me with my inventory for my online store. I’m a small business owner. I have tons of inventory and I initially input some items wrong. I couldn’t figure out how to fix them. I emailed my questions and Logan responded immediately. This was the first time I have ever actually got a response back from the app makers!! He email
  17. [R76] Zoho Inventory Management App 1/5 · US Zoho stole my money: I have thousands of dollars missing from a customer that payed a zoho invoice. After weeks of calling, emailing and contacting zoho chat, I still dont have the money. I will be closing my zoho account soon and I recommend you avoid them at all cost. There is no support.
  18. [R110] Zoho Inventory Management App 1/5 · US Incomplete. Poor service response: No enough functionality. Poor support service.
