  1. [R8] Home Contents 5/5 · US Terracotta: Excellent all round app for home inventory. Simple to use but very useful!
  2. [R17] Home Contents 5/5 · US Love this app!: Let’s face it, creating a home inventory is a lot of effort, but this app makes it so much easier. Open a drawer, snap a photo, list the contents and value. Open a cabinet, snap, list. Lather, rinse, repeat. Once the initial inventory is complete, it’s a snap to keep it updated. Oh, and did I mention how I can now find every single thing in my house? Every. Single. Thing! Best
  3. [R29] Home Contents 5/5 · US Great app: I just recently started using this app and it’s very user friendly and efficient! I would like to put barcodes on items, anyone recommend a certain type or brand?
  4. [R56] Home Contents 5/5 · US Used for Estate Sale: Excellent ease of use
  5. [R14] Home Contents 5/5 · US Very nicely done.: I’ve been looking for something not so expensive, where the data is not stored on vendors website, and meets my needs. I found it with Home Contents app. The data appears to be stored on your phone and can be exported to your personal iCloud space. The ability to scan in pics on the fly, single or multiple, makes it easy to use. Reporting and exporting is also a plus. Thank
  6. [R23] Home Contents 5/5 · US Excellent Home Inventory application: Excellent Home Inventory application… I’ve been through a few home inventory applications in the past years but this one is these best so far… My home insurance rep really likes is also.
  7. [R35] Home Contents 5/5 · US Great App: Living in Florida it’s really important to have a complete list of everything we own just in case you need it for insurance purposes. This app allows for that complete inventory along with values as well as which room each item is found.
  8. [R7] Home Contents 1/5 · US Great concept, easy to use, fatal flaw: I welcomed this app and bragged about it to my husband while boxing up our home. The categories, the ease of photography and boxes, and inventory. It was great. Flash forward a few years, we discovered our storage was broken into. At least I had it inventoried, right? No. I had assumed that Home Contents operated like ScannerPro and uploaded and backed up an
  9. [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.
  10. [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
  11. [R37] Home Contents 1/5 · US Just installed: Installed on Xs and entered 6 properties with locations and categories then started entering data and almost all info I entered disappeared? Not going well from the start
  12. [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.
  13. [R11] Home Contents 5/5 · US Simple and powerful: I really like this app. I struggle with object permanence so to have my belongings catalogued in one user-friendly, robust, and convenient app is a godsend. I upgraded to premium immediately not just to remove the ads but bc it only seemed fair to pay the developer for something that I use so much.
  14. [R31] Home Contents 1/5 · US 25 Item Limit???: Haha! I have more than 25 items in just one kitchen cabinet. I downloaded this app to help with a full home inventory. The app is free to download, however, you are limited to 25 items, unless you pay. Just charge for the app, instead of wasting people’s time! Installed and deleted within minutes. I’ll be using Google Drive for my home inventory.
  15. [R46] 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
  16. [R22] Home Contents 1/5 · US ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW TO ADD OR MANAGE: Do you really think no one needs any “how-to” info??? DELETED!
  17. [R25] Home Contents 1/5 · US No help,: Trying use this app I scan a barcode and get NOTHING. So how am I suppose to find the value of the item? There is only a short a& section and no tutorial. Also, no one to contact for support. Wasted my money
  18. [R62] 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
  19. [R51] 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.
  20. [R60] Home Contents 5/5 · US Easy to use…: I was able to add my whole collection in a few hours & will be working on adding the rest of our things in the house to it as well. Worth the 5.99 one time charge
  21. [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.
  22. [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…
  23. [R55] 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.
  24. [R61] 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
  25. [R66] MyStuff2 Pro 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
  26. [R88] MyStuff2 Pro 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
  27. [R106] MyStuff2 Pro 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.
  28. [R64] MyStuff2 Pro 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
  29. [R69] MyStuff2 Pro 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.
  30. [R72] MyStuff2 Pro 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.
  31. [R78] MyStuff2 Pro 3/5 · US Not very easy to use: I can only give this 3 stars and only that reluctantly. Using the bar code reader, it only enters the title. I’ve used a similar db (which unfortunately was discontinued in the US) that entered all the other values like run time, genre, #of discs, director and a description, as well as all the types of formats it came in for that version, like 4K, bluray and digital for the c
