Reviews for Best Before - Food Tracker

Tried a few similar app’s but all of them didn’t have the range of options that I required. Then stumbled across this one, only been using a short while but very impressed as It has nearly all of the options that I wanted. The ability to share would be the icing on the cake as […]

I don’t get how you use the “opened” feature.If I have two same packages, I set it to two packages, but when I open one, it let’s me just take one complete package out, not just half of the package… Does that mean that if I have more packages of the same item, I need […]

Great app and has taken over a previous one that I used which was quite basic. This one has more functions such as having a shopping list, showing items as opened and pre-filling information from previously entered items. It isn’t completely a slick platform hence not the complete 5 stars. I wish it were a […]

Much promise but some niggles currently let it down. Items are easy to add and I love the fact you can insert your own photograph. It’s also great that it autocompletes so if you add something you’ve added before, it will offer you the previous entry including the photograph used – obv you can override […]

After some time of using the app, one of our apps started crashing frequently and our inventories got desynchronised. We disconnected one of them, cleared all data locally, and went through the invite/join cycle again. This moved all items to Uncategorized, some previously consumed items reappeared on one of the devices. So we lost some […]

Very nice app! Works exactly as expected and helps me to manage my day by day food stock as well as my emergency stock. One thing I’d like to see is a minimum/maximum stock level per item. This would help to organize the shopping list when you buy things as batches. And a way to […]

It’s a good app for keeping track of your food, prevents waste and also makes it easy to check what’s available in the fridge without even having to look there. I still don’t have all the staples registered because i’ve had it for barely a couple weeks, but i definitely enjoy using it, being extremely […]

Incredibly useful! I’ve now managed to avoid my food going off regularly. I was always forgetting about food in my fridge and It would go off so I couldn’t eat it. With this app I can add reminders for when my food goes off and it really helps. One thing I would like to add […]

This is very helpful! There are a couple of things that could be improved. (1) When I put in a quantity of 1000ml, it strangely converts the quantity to 1.000mL. (2) When I consume part of something on, say, Monday, it will correctly say, on Weds, that it has been open for 2 days. But […]

I’ve just started to use this app and it’s going well so far. My main issues are around how you select the best before date, it would be much easier to hit the calendar icon and then month, so you get a pop up calendar to select your date from. When you’re recording consumption, it […]

Good, easy to use customisable inventory with a linked shopping list. I’m already using a different shopping list app and it’s better than the one integrated in Best Before for one main reason – it lists the items ordered by category so that when you’re in the store everything on one aisle is together. Seems […]

Thanks for the great app! Very well thought through with many useful functions. But there should be a seperate number of days one can set for items that are opened. So that when you open an item the expiration date change. Also, the notification days after opening you set doesn’t carry over when you add […]

Just what I needed! 😃 The app has everything I was looking for. The ads are light and non-intrusive, but I kinda wished for some “pro” version, and found it in settings and not even expensive, and got it straight away. Now, I have only installed the app now, so this is just my first […]

The reason I keep coming back to Best Before is speed of entry. I’ve tried lots of different apps with better interfaces, more features, etc. but they were all too cumbersome to use and I was too lazy to keep using them. Best Before has custom categories, locations and units, the ability to “open” (partially […]

This app has, apparently, just been updated. Although the presentation has improved and is welcome, I have found two very unwelcome “bugs” – the search mechanism is not working correctly and when entering an item, there appears to be no way to navigate to a specific preferred photo folder. I have reported these issues to […]

I’ve tried 19 of these apps and this is by far the best. It’s easily customisable and is very simple to use. I’m using it to track exactly where, in my two freezers, I’ve stored my foods. The only improvement I could wish for is a minimum stock level that alutomatically adds the items to […]

No more pantry ghost food, I now have a complete list of absolutely all my hardly seen pantry/ fridge products that I would otherwise forget exists! the idea that I can be notified several days BEFORE my food expires is a great peace of mind! Gives me time to think up recipes to use it […]

This seems like an app with a lot of potential. I was not able to create an account and tried some of the trouble shooting steps in the comments. They did not work for me. The other downfall is the barcode scanner is actually a picture you take rather than a scan of the UPC. […]

I downloaded this app today. Overall it is the best app of the ones that I have tested. Positives so far are that the database for food items seems to be quiet extensive. I have-not had to enter a product name manually yet. Downsides, I would prefer that the app use barcode scanner instead of […]

Great app for keeping up with what’s in your pantry, fridge, freezer, and more. It lets you know when food is about to expire and when food that has been open is going bad. You have to manually type in each item. For this, I gave it a 4 star. It really needs a scan […]
