I have this app on my iPad, and granted, there’s going to be some time before this is where it needs to be for a native tablet style feel. Regardless, I still prefer it to Evernote. With that said, I’m hoping that CML can partner with even more stamp, die, and paper manufacturers to add more barcodes and images to make this a truly seamless way to input database items related to crafting. I hope you guys have started reaching out to more companies to demo your product and get more support. I know many have had issues with the product not working without a small monthly paid subscription (with a free trial prior to the subscription onset). I have no problem subscribing for the product to work if it’s within my budget; small companies deserve an opportunity to make some money to develop, and having worked for a startup company, I am always happy to help as a consumer. I know all of the difficulties that go into new development, and how important even a small bootstrap income can be. In any case, good luck, guys. Thanks for testing the waters with this, and I’m happy to provide any feedback you may require.

I have uploaded nearly 5000 items into this crafts inventory program and may have another several thousand to go. A quick check on my phone, iPad or iMac (whichever is close at hand) I can quickly determine if I have an item before wasting money on ordering duplicate items. When I want to make something I can quickly search by tags to see all the relevant stamps, dies, embossing folders and other related items I have on hand to choose from as well as see where the ones I want are located. I first purchased this app in December of 2020, and appreciate how the owners continue to listen to their subscribers and keep adding improvements. My favorite craft supply company doesn’t participate with CML so I don’t use the barcode reader function to upload data offered by many companies who do participate—a feature many users love—but I personally prefer to copy and paste directly from the manufacturers websites. But for many users this is a great function, and if you no longer have your packaging with barcodes you can still search CML’s massive database to find and populate your account. I love, love, love this app!

This is definitely my second most useful tool for paper crafting. I really wish I would of found out about it years ago! You need more advertising. 😀 cataloguing items will take a bit of time for someone with items going back 20 years! But will be so worth it for so many reasons. Ease of finding items. Knowing what you have in stock or may ran out of stock. Inspiration! God forbid but if you had a disaster insurance companies want descriptions and price catalogued. I’m so grateful to companies that have kept their sku’s updated and will be dropping a note to those that have and have not. The wish list having a sku photo and inspiration should be a selling point to those companies. I’m cataloguing now by using my past orders and finding projects I want to do with items I forgot I bought!! Once everything is in my app I will likely hire a teenager to tag every item. I’m getting older and slower and will love searching a word and seeing all my options! You may already be doing this but I would definitely get a booth at these paper crafting festivals. So easy to use So affordable and so helpful!

The Color My Life app is excellent! I’ve entered my craft supplies in order to remember what I have and not purchase duplicates. When making a card, I search by key words such as Christmas, or Easter, “Happy Birthday,” etc. The app pulls up the stamp set containing the sentiments or graphics I want to use and I can pull the stamp set out of my supplies. It’s quick and easy. I also have my card stock entered into the app, along with inks, embossing powders, and Copic markers. When I shop at stores or online, I simply go the this app and check to see what I have already purchased. You can include photos of each item added into the app, along with notes, etc. It seamlessly syncs from my iPhone to my iPad. There’s the web version out now also, this app had done everything I have asked it to do. I had a question this week on a change of my email, and received a reply very quickly. I rate their customer service a 10 out of a 1-10 scale. I’m not receiving anything for doing this review nor am I affiliated with Color My Life. I’m simply leaving an honest review.
