Best Inventory App Available

*** 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.
