  • Great Program. Great Customer Support.

    I purchased this program to document our family items and leave a thorough inventory for our children. It is everything it claims to be. However, when trying to add a photo for an item I used my standard "import" command, which didn't work. Their developer spent at least an hour writing several emails, figured out my mistake, and sent screen shots and a step-by-step list of instructions! There are similar programs out there but with this outstanding customer service, I'd pick Blue Plum anytime!

    I liked Home Inventory the moment I opened it. It is intuitive and gives you a lot more categories than you would think. I added much more information to my inventory than I thought I would and it makes me feel more secure about my stuff. I emailed the developer asking about a way to view and compile a report in a way I needed. He emailed me back within an hour and asked me a few questions. He then added the features to the program within 48 hours and had it available on the App Store right away! I've never had that kind of response!!! Well Done!!!1 Thanks!

    I purchased this app with the intention of organizing some items and found it pretty easy to use - very thorough and adaptable. Nice to have photos and descriptions, notes all in one place. The developer responded to my questions the same day and was extremely helpful in making the app more useful to me! I would recommend this app to anyone who wants to organize their stuff!
  • A Very Nice Program

    I was not sure which program to get from BluePlum so I e-mail the developer, he answered me and recommended the Home Inventory (BluePlum). I have several collections, use to have the pics in my photos, the description in word and the receipts in another place. This program, I can put all of the above on one page, boy oh boy talk about nice. Wish I found this program sooner. Once you learn how to use it, look for the on the bottom of the page and go from there. Easy to use, just great... Thank you ....BluePlum
  • Does Well… Have Improvements to Suggest

    Updated review… First, like to say that I really appreciate developers that maintain and upgrade their apps. 5 stars! Second, now that I’ve used the app for a while I have some suggestions for improving the app. On the Mac side would be nice if: 1) Filtering were improved - Ability fo filter on multiple tags - Ability to apply logic to filters, for instance, filter for things NOT in "collection X” or filtering on things that do NOT have tags - More filtering criteria, say by Date Added to BluePlum, by Recently Synced Items, and so forth 2) A visible count of items in: The Inventory Items List, a room, a collection, a specific tag, etc would be nice (I only see a total count under the “Current value of inventory” at present) 3) Ability to sort by more than name, such as Date Added, Date Purchased, etc 4) Some kind of temporary indicator that shows which items have been recently synced (like the dots on iOS apps that have been recently updated) 5) More / customizable hotkeys On the iOS side of things, I understand that it is a companion app, but I really wish it were more say an equal to the Mac app. Still, barring that, there are some improvements that I think the iOS app does need. 1) Improved document detection while scanning (similar to the Apple Notes app) 2) Keystone prevention 3) Ability to zoom the camera while scanning ---------------- Mac app and companion iOS app do a pretty good job. But both are lacking here and there. On the Mac side of things… 1) Bulk editing of most of the fields would be a big plus. For instance, if I have a box of music CD’s that I want to tag with “Music Box 1’ I currently have to go through each and every item in the box and add the desired tag to each… individually one at a time! Which is an annoying, slow, and tedious process at present. 2)The map doesn’t work quite right. I understand that the location will be off slightly because GPS and mapping data isn’t 100% accurate. But when I try and fix the location by moving the maps callout icon to where it should belong it doesn’t stay. Also when I zoom in / out or pan the (Locations / Partitions) map the callout icon moves on it’s own. (Does not appear to move in the Location Map next to the Value History Chart) On the iOS side of things… 1) Why does the iOS app require a purchase date? It’s annoying that I have to put one in only to go to the Mac side and delete them one item at a time! While this wouldn’t be so bad if I could bulk edit on the Mac side, it seems a bit dumb to require a field on the iOS side when it’s not required on the Mac side. Further more, if for some items I don’t remember when I purchased them, I’d honestly rather if there were no date listed at all or if the date could be listed as something more useful like: UNK, Unknown, etc. 2) Why can’t you assign tags to an item directly in the iOS app? Instead I have to go to the Mac app to add tags… again one item at a time. 3) On the subject of fields you can’t edit from the iOS app… why are there so many missing? I can understand that for some people it is nicer to get minimal information in and sync. But for some people, there are fields they’d like to get filled in sooner rather than later lest they forget. Meaning it’d be better to enter information for those fields immediately rather than waiting until a sync happens. Essentially why can’t we choose which fields we want to see on the iOS side? 4) Why can’t you zoom when taking pictures of items in the iOS app? For both… 1) Why isn’t their a read-only creation date / time field to show when something is created? Perhaps there is and we can’t see it? But if that’s the case it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Sometimes being able to see when you’ve made an entry is useful in itself.
  • STAY AWAY

    Stay away from anything by BluePlum. The companion app used for data entry keeps crashing when trying to scan barcodes and there is no way to contact them. The support link literally goes to a page that says: "Comming soon …”. Can’t even spell.
  • This is a really great app

    I had been looking for a good home inventory app and when I downloaded it, I was very pleased with it except for a few significant “lacks”. I said something to the Blue Plum team and wouldn’t you know it, they were right on it! They fixed everything I (and several other customers it seemed) thought needed to be changed as well as added a plus I did not think about but will love having. You keep going team, you are doing a great job and your customer support so far has been superb. I am definitely going to trust to put all of my inventory in this app…a very time consuming thing and therefore very important that you make it as easy as possible to do it…obviously what you are dedicated to do. Thank a lot!
