MyStuff2 Pro App Reviews

Im totally satisfied with this APP. It may have a learning curve, but your valuables deserve it. A) you know what you have, B) you know where its at, and C) the developer keeps the system current. Moreover, the synching works flawlessly.

Extremely customizable. Highly recommended.

Ive dabbled with lots of database type apps over the years but this one is really impressive. I like the ability to tune it to my needs. Setting up a new category was a bit tedious but once I got that done adding items was fast especially with the built-in online search and barcode reader. I especially like the ability to export to Excel which keeps me from being locked into this app for the long term. I only wish I found this long ago before I wasted money on a few other apps that are not as comprehensive.

This app is unbelievable. The amount of features, database management, backup features, reporting, and more is everything I expect in a great app. At every turn, I find more and more features. Add custom fields, field types, lookup lists, boolean fields, create custom themes, jeez, just an insane amount of options. Im nowhere near discovering them all. Reporting is also fantastic. Generate reports, print them, export to HTML, just tons of features. Backup to csv, Dropbox, iTunes, other apps, etc. its great. My only comments are that the barcode scanning is marginal at best. Unless you are shooting in perfect light with the perfect amount of white space around the code, it seems to fail. Also, although I can define "original" photo sizes for storage in the database, there doesnt appear to be any control over image compression. Not a deal breaker, but I would like to be able to see serial numbers a little more clearly in my images. Of course I can take as many photos as I like per item. The interface is decent, and navigates well. Not as flashy as some other similar inventory apps, but very feature rich. My goal was to be able to create a database with multiple photos and or videos per item for insurance records with the ability to print reports in case of a claim. This achieves that perfectly, well worth the money, period.

Not at all what I needed, I wanted a simple way to do inventory and got a over priced program with a lot of useless crap. Sorry but it was a waste of money for me. I dont usually wright reviews but I did not want anyone else to get ripped off.

I really want to like this app, but the combination of the quirky interface and working on an iPad just do not make for a pleasant experience. Too much tapping to create items, attach photos, and attach a receipt from Dropbox. The addition of Dropbox sync was nice, and the app overall has a lot of power, but there needs to be some way to create the initial inventory from a computer, with this as a companion app to do simple maintenance. Ive spent months taking inventory of a few dozen items. Its truly painful.

I want my money back. App doesnt allow me to add or edit...

Great app. Very easy to add items - either manually, barcode scan, or search It keeps track of books, movies, CDs, even electronics and appliances. Easy to add new categories, locations, everything. Ive tried other cataloging apps and none of them even come close to this one. Wish I had tried this one first.

This app is "growing" on me. The more I use it, and learn how to use more advanced features, the more I like it. One can start with more basic features, and still get use from this. There is a learning curve for fancier functions. Yesterday I created a database for our big and small freezers. I created food "groups" and color coded them. I have an "attribute" for date entered freezer, and quantity. I sent completed list to email, opened the .csv file and saved as Excel spreadsheet. Then I worked it a bit to arrange. Next step - print. I will keep copy next to freezers. Just now my husband removed freezer items, so I popped open this app and adjusted the inventory of each item. Cant tell you how great it feels to manage the freezer better!

This is a very feature robust app. Im very pleased with it so far. I love that I can scan the barcodes of my movies and get them easily inventoried. Creating a custom database for other things I want to track was easy to do as well. Great job writing this.

I feel like such an idiot but I need help. I bought this app to do a pantry inventory in hopes I could expand it to include other home inventories over time. Unfortunately, I cant figure out how to get it to do what I need. What I want is a simple list of all the items I have and their quantities. It would be great if I could break it up into categories, like canned beans, canned fruit, etc. and get a notification when something gets down to a quantity of 1 or 2 so I know to add it to my grocery list. But I need to be able to back out and view it as 1 complete list at times also, if possible. If someone is familiar with this app and is able to send me a flowchart of how to set this up, I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks! This is a beautiful app and appears to be able to handle very complex lists. The problem is with me, not the app.

I love the way I can scan and keep a list of my movies. Problem is, it is way too complicated to export my stuff from my iPhone to my iPad.

Love this. Ive been using it to organize my music collection. With over 5,000 albums, cds and 45s its now easy to find what Im looking for. This app would be great even without the search feature, but with it its amazing. Syncing is also an added plus, since I do most of the work on my ipad, but when Im in the record store my data is with me on my iphone. Get it, love it.

MyStuff2 outclasses the 5 other inventory apps that I tried. Its problem is that with all of its power comes some complexity. There is a learning curve to get it organized just the way you wanted to, but the sweet thing is that it is very customizable. One has to create categories if they are not already present (it comes with numerous preformatted categories for your use) and this takes a little thought up front. But once you create a category you can use it across all of your databases. For instance lets say you create a "Clothes" category. Then you would add attributes like the name, size, color, etc. and you could create groups like shirts, pants, dresses, shoes, etc. Taking "shoes" you could have subgroups for "shoes" like heels, flats, sandals, etc. and those subgroups could have subgroups etc. But you dont have to be this granular. You could just dump everything into "Clothes" and call it good. Likewise you can create locations with many sub levels. You can have something as simple as the "Bedroom" or something like "Box" – "Second Shelf" – "Closet" – "Bedroom" its all up to you. Bottom line is that if you put in a little time learning how to use it you will have the best inventory program around.

*** PLEASE READ*** Ive been an iPhone user since the very first iPhone came out years ago, & along the way, Ive tried dozens & dozens of inventory & asset management apps to use personally and for my business. MyStuff2 Pro is BY FAR the best app available for this purpose... so much so that Im taking time to write my first app review. I admit, I tried the lite version before, which seemed a little busy & confusing. However, I recently moved & needed a good inventory for renters insurance, so I revisited all the apps. This time I went to the web and did a search for the best inventory apps, MyStuff2 repeatedly ranked at the top. So, I went back to the App Store and carefully read the descriptions/features of the paid versions of several of the top apps. MyStuff2 by far is the most feature rich, integrated, & customizable, & not wanting to have limitations or a ton of in app purchases, I took a chance & purchased the Pro version. It was worth every penny of the $8.99. Remember, you get what you pay for!!! I admit, getting started was a little confusing at first, trying to figure out the layout & flow of menus, & where to put categories, locations, groups, & attributes. With a little patience you will quickly figure out where things go & how to customize it. You can add photos, attach documents, and create custom fields. What I LOVE is that you are not limited to the same set of fields for every item. You can customize an individual item on the fly, or... If you see you are having to customize every entry of a similar type, such as electronics... You can change the fields at the category level. The custom fields (or attributes) are very versatile & functional. For example: for my Samsung TV I created a field called customer service, defined the data as a phone number, so once entered, it has an icon to initiate a call, I also created a field called "Product Web Page" & I defined the data as a web address. As I filled in the data, I went to my browser and searched for my tv model on the manufacturers website, then copied the URL and pasted it into the data field. Down the road, when questions arise or need to reference the users manual, simply tap the safari icon next to the pasted URL and it takes you straight to the product page. You can be as creative as you want!!! I created a category for vehicles. Here I included all those little things u never have when u need them, such as your VIN, License Plate Number, Tire Specs, Etc. The possibilities are endless!!! Once you get things set up, MyStuff2Pro has the most comprehensive set of tools to manipulate the data. You can search by any field you define & even save that search query. You can filter data. For example, you can sum totals of items by quantity, value, price, etc. You can also import and export all or selected/filtered data in a variety of formats. The app integrates the internal barcode scanner, camera, phone, contacts, a barcode generator, & other apps such as safari, Dropbox, Evernote, air print, adobe reader, & more. If you truly want a comprehensive and versatile inventory app, MyStuff2Pro is for you. Any good software requires some learning, so take the time (maybe an hour) to familiarize yourself with it before you start entering data, & utilize the great support resources integrated in the settings of the app. Ignore the negative reviews that say its not useful or confusing. Those people didnt take the time to get familiar with the app before they wrote their review.

The app is pretty straightforward and easy to learn. My main issues are that whenever I reopen it I have to log in with my apple ID. If I don’t then I cannot edit or add anything to the database. Its incredibly frustrating. The app isn’t cheap (or it wasn’t when I bought it) so its pretty annoying that I have to log into iTunes every time I use it. Add in the manual synch which doesn’t seem to work for keeping the same data on two devices, I might as well have used the free version. Its annoying enough that I want my money back.

This is an amazing inventory app - Ive tried a few and this is by far the best. My only past wish was for an OS X version, so I could enter notes and such a little faster, but the bar code scanner helped speed up the basic input. Now Im having the same camera issue as a previous reviewer. It started with the May 9 update, and the issue occurs on both an iPhone 5s and an iPhone 6 as well as an iPad. Data entry has become really painful. Please fix!

The camera stops working after scanning the first barcode. I have to close the app via the multitasking menu to scan the next. Becomes rather laborious. Does this on both my iPhone and iPad. Please fix.

The support email address provided does not work and the support forum does not work.

This app is very powerful with its defaults and setting but you can configure just about everything. With multiple databases and sync options you can keep multiple devices up to date easily.
