1. [R8] 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
2. [R24] Sortly 3/5 · US I wanted to like this app but...: I just can’t justify paying an annual fee to use an inventory app. A one time price would’ve been acceptable to me, especially since there are other inventory apps that do charge a one time fee. The UI on this app is excellent and the items pop out at you. It’s a great app but like I said, I cannot justify paying an annual fee.
3. [R62] 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!
4. [R68] Home Contents 5/5 · US Terracotta: Excellent all round app for home inventory. Simple to use but very useful!
5. [R20] Sortly 5/5 · US Simple and exactly what I need: This is the first time I’ve ever written a review for an app. I operate a commercial shipping container depot and rental fleet. I looked all over for inventory software that was easy to use and didn’t have 300 extra features I don’t need getting in the way. I downloaded this app and within two hours, our intern had the entire inventory organized, with pictures!
6. [R41] Sortly 5/5 · US Happy so far: I am not the smartest computer guy, but I must say that Sortly is quite user friendly thus far. It’s allowing our company to do even more than we thought. When I did get stuck I went to their website, submitted my question and within 30 min I received a detailed, easy to understand email. Thus far I have no regrets using Sortly.
7. [R67] 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
8. [R77] 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
9. [R1] Sortly 1/5 · US Buggy: I’m sorry I got on it. These are the biggest issues: It either doesn’t save or looses data. It freezes the entire iPad. Add a note, then a price before saving. I dare you. The camera assumes you’re using iPhone.
10. [R10] 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.
11. [R79] 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
12. [R5] 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!
13. [R15] Sortly 3/5 · US Love it but the pricing no: I love this app It come with 100 free entry’s and then it’s $499 /year that is crazy unfortunately
14. [R80] 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.
15. [R92] Home Contents 5/5 · US Home contents app: This app has been amazing!! Idk how I would have got through the inventory I had to do for my insurance company after our house fire that resulted in what the call a “total loss”. Th only thing it didn’t have that I needed to provide the insurance company with was the approximate age of each item. If it had a space for each item to list its age that would have been great. I pers
16. [R28] Sortly 1/5 · US Scammers: Signed up for what we thought was an $800 plan. Next thing we know we are getting charged $1,400 & it won’t allow me to change to the free plan so we don’t keep getting charged. I’ve sent multiple emails, absolutely no response. Can’t find a costumer service phone number. I hardly ever write reviews, but everyone deserves to know what a scam Sortly is. Very disappointed.
17. [R73] 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.
18. [R85] 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
19. [R7] 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
