Barcode scanner works like a charm. Easy to use.
12/13/2022

Pepperh1
Update: The barcode scanner works very well. Definitely impressive. We'll be using this software to track all our pantry items. Thank you to the developer for responding and explaining the settings. We have been looking for a way to track the food we have in our pantry. So often we forget what we have and buy more before using the old. Today is the first day of trying this app. So far so good. We'd love to see an option to use a remote barcode scanner. The app currently has you hold the item in front of your computer camera. Scanning would be much faster if we could use our handheld scanner. Anyway, pleased so far. Love that the information is stored on our computer and doesn't require loading on our phones.

Hi Pepperh1,Thank you for using FoodShiner and with that trying to prevent food wastage and save the planet.Bluetooth scanners are supported already. At the moment it’s a minor integration but works quite good if your Bluetooth scanner acts like a keyboard for the Mac. In the settings of FoodShiner (general section) you’ll find the possibility to change from “camera” to “Bluetooth” and in this case you put the cursor in the barcode field and use your Bluetooth scanner to scan the barcode. If you have further questions to this integration, other questions kn how to use FoodShiner please don’t hesitate to contact me via support@foodshiner.app or the support functionality in the settings of FoodShiner.Kind regards and have fun using FoodShinerIdriss M’Rabti

Fantasic app

This is a fantastic app for keeping track of food items in your pantry, freezer, fridge or whatever. I’ve been using it for about 6 months and I’ve had a great experience. Its got a slight learning curve, but its easy to catch on to. Its very customizable so you can make it work for any situation. And even though its geared towards food, you can actually use it to inventory anything. Just set up your own products and storage areas. You can even take your own pictures to set up your own products, food or not. Hope the developer doesn’t mind non-food use! I use it for my freezer and pantry and I highly recommend this app. The developer is highly responsive to email. He needs more US users, and no, I have no connection to the developer. Daveroo

Great App but would love universal search
11/10/2022

DPNP
This app is fantastic and definetly deserves using the Tip function. I plan to do that on a regular basis as a great alternative to a subscription model. I would love it more if the search funciton searched all the storage locations instead of just the one you are currently in. Some items can be located in the freezer as well as the fridge or panty and this would make it easier to find. Another helpful improvement would be to allow multiple shops under a shopping list. For example, I created a Wholesale Club shopping list with Sams Club and Costco. Some items are unique to each club, but some can be bought at either.

Hello DPNP, thank you for using FoodShiner and with that trying to prevent food wastage and save the planet. Thank you for your kind review - please spread the word as you like FoodShiner a lot! You can use the SmartList "All" to search in all storages at once. I'll add the idea of having the possibility to add multiple shops to a shopping list item to my roadmap. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions, ideas for additional features or problems using FoodsShiner via support@foodshiner.app.Kind regards Idriss M'rabti

Weak at finding and retrieving
12/14/2025

Dr. Bets
Some things about the app are quite good, but day to day use in finding stored items is not intuitive. It allows you to log items into it pretty easily and then add items to specific locations, ie kitchen freezer, basement freezer, etc. But retrieving them later isn’t obvious or simple. For example, if you want to find the 3 pound package of ground beef you bought 3 months ago, you actually have to remember the location you placed an item (ie basement freezer) and then search within that location in order for the app to tell you the specific place where the package can be found (ie shelf three). This is an important limitation. You can store items by location, but it doesn’t not have a basic “find item” or “view location” on the home page to make this an easy process.
