In June, there was no blog article because we were busy with two major features - these are now online and we are proud to present them to you! One is the photo upload in two variants, the other is item groups for items with different expiration dates. Enjoy reading!
Public photo upload
6,461 products have already been created by you as users of the Pantry App - and a total of 13,193 products have been edited.
Since July 12, 2020, you can also upload product photos while editing! This serves several purposes: You can immediately see if the item was scanned correctly and you can check if the nutritional information was entered correctly. After all, you now have the appropriate photo for comparison available in the app! Our partners from openfoodfacts are also working on automated quality assurance: The nutritional information will thus be automatically compared with the data recognizable in the photo.
Public here means that the product photos are shared with all users of the Pantry App as well as other users of the OpenFoodFacts database - and as users, you benefit accordingly from the photos of others. If, on the other hand, you want to take photos that remain within your community, there are now also private product photos:
Private photo upload
The idea behind the private product photos is to photograph an item right at its storage location in order to be able to quickly find it again in larger stocks.
Similarly, this feature is ideal for homemade products and food, as well as for anything you want to store that doesn’t have a barcode.
Product groups with different expiration dates
The feature most requested by you after the native iOS is the item groups with different expiration dates. What was needed was a way to easily store the same items in the app, which come from different purchases and therefore have different expiration dates.
You can now easily create a new item group by clicking on the green calendar button, and enter the corresponding number of items and the associated expiration date for it.
With the motto “Users helping users”, we have founded a pantry app community on Telegram. Here you will also be the first to learn about new features. You can also get in touch directly with the developers and founders of the app.
If you don’t want to miss out, get Telegram now and join in! We look forward to seeing you!
