  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. [R5] Inventory Now 5/5 · US Inventory Now: This app is easy to use. You can add your own categories and sub-catagories.
  3. [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
  4. [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
  5. [R18] Inventory Now 3/5 · US It has a great start: It's has a great start, but getting really aggravating that it's screen freezes when I try to take picture of barcodes. If they could fix this I would definitely give it more stars!!
  6. [R30] Inventory Now 3/5 · US Great Ap!: Easy to use..flawless
  7. [R37] Inventory Now 1/5 · US Don't waste your time or money: This app is not user friendly. Options are very limited. If you make a mistake there is no way to edit. Don't waste your time or money with this app!
  8. [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.
  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. [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!!
  11. [R19] 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.
  12. [R1] Inventory Now 1/5 · US Subscription cost for over 20 items is $60 a year: Just looking for free simple app.
  13. [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.
  14. [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.
  15. [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.
  16. [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!
  17. [R66] TrackaLacker 3/5 · US It “Works”, but don’t expect to land rare products.: This app does a great job of *notifying* you of an in-stock item, but for the types of items I’ve used it for, I’ve NEVER actually had it notify me in time to *land* the product. Nearly every time I’ve clicked on the notification, even if immediate, the product is out of stock by the time I click on it. And we’re taking literally instantly. If t
  18. [R77] TrackaLacker 1/5 · US It definitely notifies: Problem is, once you get notified and click on the link, it’s already gone from bots using the same program 🤷🏻‍♂️ not great but not terrible I guess I would not recommend paying, as I’ve literally been told by customer support, “it won’t help you get the notifications faster.” It’s great in theory but the practical application was a miss 🤷🏻‍♂️ sorry not sorry
  19. [R96] TrackaLacker 5/5 · US Honestly, this app helps out so much!!!: I’ve tried other alert/notification/tracking apps, but this one is way faster than the others. With the app, I’ve gotten a majority of the items I’ve been tracking and it honestly makes me happy since I’ve been collecting and casually playing Pokemon tcg for over 20 years and thought that I would have had to drop that hobby this year. Luckily, I can keep it
  20. [R86] TrackaLacker 5/5 · US Better than HotStock: Better than HotStock where the ladder only limits one item to keep track of tracklacker allows multiple
