Pantry Snapper 5.0 is a major update. • New Plan tab: see what to use first, how much is already planned, and draft a meal from the soonest items in one tap. • Next 7 days view of queued meals. • Add meal shortages to your shopping list in one tap. • Barcode memory: products you save are filled in automatically the next time you scan them. • Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Control Center shortcuts. • New Siri and Shortcuts actions. • Clearer contrast, plus a cleaner tab bar with no extra overlay. • Removed a bundled barcode table that could name the wrong product and trimmed duplicate brand-name entries from the storage guide.

Added App Store listings in more languages. No changes to the app itself.

A clearer App Store name and search details. No other changes in this update.

Meal Queue Give the groceries you own a plan. Meal Queue connects named meals to counted pantry items, shows shortages across queued meals and updates inventory only when you confirm what you cooked. 1. Open Pantry → Meal Queue. Name a meal, choose its planned day and add optional notes. 2. Choose an active pantry item and a whole-unit quantity, then add it to the meal. Adding the same item again replaces its draft quantity. 3. Save the plan. Each line shows units needed for this meal, units on the shelf and reservations across all queued meals. A shortage blocks consumption until plans or stock are corrected. 4. After cooking, choose Review and mark cooked, review the item quantities and confirm Consume reserved units. Partial consumption keeps the remaining stock active and creates a used-history record. 5. Use Settings → Create full backup to include queued and cooked meals, pantry photos, shopping items and preferences. Restore replaces current data after confirmation; older backups without meal plans clear existing plans. Units are the inventory counts you entered, not grams or recipe servings. Plans do not automatically buy, reserve physical food, schedule meals in Calendar or change reminders. Dates provide planning context, not food-safety decisions. Follow package and storage instructions. Removing cooked history does not restore consumed stock. Cooking cannot be undone in Meal Queue.

MEAL FORECAST (NEW) - A new planning studio in Insights: see your pantry's "runway" - what can become real meals before quality dates hit. - Compare scenarios, keep records of what you actually cooked, and build a fieldbook of go-to rescue meals. - Everything computed on device from your own inventory; nothing leaves your iPhone. Plus refreshed documentation, screenshots, and small polish across the app. Private and local-first as always: no account, no ads, no uploads.

```text Pantry Snap 3.0 makes food-date tracking more accurate, useful, and trustworthy. Quality dates vs. safety: Best By, Sell By, Use By, and similar package dates are clearly explained as quality guidance for most foods, not automatic safety deadlines. Infant formula receives the FDA-specific warning not to use it after its Use By date. Opened-package guidance: record when a package was opened and Pantry Snap uses the bundled USDA FoodKeeper data for the selected pantry, refrigerator, or freezer location, including opened refrigerated timelines when available. Better decisions: every item can show practical storage and spoilage warnings. A past generic date no longer automatically labels food unsafe or offers one-tap disposal. More resilient capture: recognize barcodes and date labels from the camera or a saved photo, type barcode digits manually, set dates yourself, or use a FoodKeeper estimate. Likely duplicates are flagged before saving. Safer local backups: create a complete on-device backup with photos, shopping items, and settings. Restores are validated before an atomic replacement, and reminders are reconciled afterward. Larger text, VoiceOver descriptions, widgets, Siri wording, and reminder messages have also been refined. Everything remains private and on device: no account, analytics, ads, or pantry-data uploads. ```

**7-Day Rescue Forecast** Insights now includes a forward-looking rescue forecast that ranks active food by expiration urgency and shows what needs attention this week. **Priority Queue** The forecast highlights the highest-risk items first, including expired items, items expiring today, and foods with only a few days left. **Hot Spot and Action Plan** Pantry Snapper now identifies the storage area and category with the most urgency, then suggests practical next actions such as reviewing expired items, cooking the priority item, checking the fridge, or planning around a category. **Metadata and Screenshot Refresh** Store copy, privacy URLs, support pages, and screenshots were refreshed to match the current app and avoid outdated price or feature claims.

This update sharpens the interface: the iPad layout now uses a centered, comfortable reading width instead of stretching edge to edge, plus small display fixes. iPhone is unchanged.

What's New in Pantry Snap 2.3 App Store "What's New" text (4000 char max) ```text Version 2.3 adds three genuinely useful upgrades: Category waste leaderboard - the Insights tab now shows a breakdown by food category: which categories you toss the most, which you actually use, the waste rate per category as a bar, and dollars wasted vs. saved. Now you can see at a glance that it's Produce you keep forgetting, not Dairy, and change what you buy. Location-grouped inventory - tap the sort menu in your pantry list to switch from "By Date" to "By Location". Items group under Fridge, Pantry, Freezer, and any custom locations you've added. Great for quickly checking just one shelf. Faster batch adding - when you're unpacking groceries, tap "Add Another" instead of "Save & Done". The form resets instantly (keeping your location and reminder settings) and a running count shows how many items you've logged this session. Everything stays local: no account, no network, no ads. ```
