Nest Egg - Inventory

I love this app! If I had a wish list for future updates, I would like to see the ability to add multiple locations and to add prices for those extra locations. I currently use “location” for stores where I can buy that exact time. Then I use “purchase price” for the best regular (non-sale) price. When I find that exact item at another store, if the price is better than the first store, I put the first store’s name and their regular price in the “notes” field and move the new store to “location” and the new lower regular price to the purchase price. Really, what would help even more would be to leave your currently fields as is and to add 1 permanent “group” of 3 more fields that would be “store”, “store price”, and “store notes” where store notes can be used to type in store sale price or other user requires information. Then add the ability to add more of this “group” where it will automatically give you those same 3 fields listed in the sale order under the first group anytime you click “add group”. This would make it a super awesome app to track and compare regular store prices and even their sale prices (which are usually on some sort of cycle that events repeats - like something at Winn Dixie that is BOGO this week will eventually be BOGO again in the future.) Overall - a great app! I highly recommend it!!! 😊👍

WOW... a speedy support team to go with this great app. Within a few hours I had a reply from nest egg on the “BULK” editing feature. This has solved my issue with the app and now my copic markers are happily sitting with the rest of the marker families! ........................... I love this App !!!! I just started using it to catalog my craft room. I have run into an issue that I’m hoping can be fixed in an upcoming update. Can you please add a drag and drop feature while in the editing functions? It would be nice to drag an entire sub category with all its items, and drop it into another category. Having to go into each item to edit the category is FRUSTRATING! Example category ‘Copic markers’ with 316 individual items 3 days later you realize you have 2 more marker sets so you add a marker category........ Are you going to go back and edit each one of the 316 copic markers so that all of your markers are in one category? Ummmm, I think not! I hope That I have been able to demonstrate to you the need for this new feature. My OCD just can’t tolerate a set of markers that are not sitting with their other marker family members. This would be a perfect 5 star APP if it had drag and drop.

I wanted a simple inventory app as I have lots of stuff, but can never remember where it is at. Most “inventory” apps seem to be geared towards insurance purposes- pricing your items in case of an insurance claim. I read multiple review pages and downloaded 4 or 5 apps to try. This app met my criteria the best. Some apps were just to basic or hard to use. I quickly stopped using those. I did like the UI/UX of the Sortly app better, but its price was ridiculously expensive. This app had the 2nd best UI/UX and was much more reasonable in price. The biggest thing I would want is a faster way to take a pic, enter some details, and add the next item. Thanks for a great app!!

They prevent you from doing the simplest act of sharing between devices on your one Apple Account. The app works well, and is comprehensive. I would like to share the data between my iPhone and iPad. Though I understand they have a subscription Cloud service, I would hope that would not be the necessary solution for a single user that paid for the application and has only a single Apple account. Not sharing it with other family members, or a corporate level. Just the account that paid for the application. When I asked, I was told that it was not possible, and that, “Apple iCloud is not capable of doing what you wish with Nest Egg data.” I’m afraid they went from a company that specifically noted how they respected your privacy and being helpful, to preventing you from doing what so many other application do out of the box, in order to force you to join the subscription route. Their solution is to backup and restore each time you switch devices. Otherwise, it is a well designed and thorough application. UPDATE The development team responded very quickly with specific responses to my complaints, and justified their positions. Though there are other apps that appear to synch between devices, I appreciate they have stance or principle they are adhering to.

This app is probably useful if you just want to create a financial inventory for insurance purposes. In the (hopefully) unlikely event that you have a fire or are victim of a burglary, you could more easily report a claim. Of course, that means very detailed record-keeping and data entry to enter items into the app. The entry form itself is good, so that’s helpful. If you want this app to actually FIND something in your house, I’d look elsewhere. The user experience is extremely limited. There is actually a good summary screen that allows you to see total value by category or location. Again, that assumes you are entering very detailed purchase price data for every item. But it would be completely logical to continue the drill down to see the contents of a location, or where items within a category are located. Sadly, the developer did not think of this. Instead, you have a single form with a search box that display the results in a single column list, completely unorganized. So you have to scroll through the list to see where anything is actually stored. Bottom line - if you are using this for insurance, it’s decent. If you want a home inventory system, look elsewhere. Overall, I regret spending the $4.
