Enclosed is our monthly newsletter for April with updates on the app as well as tips and tricks for household management.

Premium features will remain free for the time being

1. Premium features will remain free of charge for the time being

In May, the premium features of the Pantry App were supposed to become paid.
However, we also want to contribute to the current situation surrounding Corona! Therefore, we have decided to keep the full range free of charge until June!

2. “Digital Pantry” in the newspaper

We didn’t want to keep from you that we were featured in the Ingolstadt Donaukurier this week with a half-page article!
Attached you will find the article for reading online as well:

3. Testing and working on existing issues

Firstly, we would like to thank all the diligent testers and users who have encountered problems and questions while using the app and have reported them.
We now have around 1,400 users. Thank you for your support!

Unfortunately, we are still experiencing issues with email delivery. Confirmation emails in particular often fail to reach users with the providers GMX and Web.
If you are affected by this and your account has not yet been activated, please send us a short message, and we will manually activate your account!

Keep track of supplies, groceries and durable products before small price increases turn into unnecessary extra costs.

Or try it right in your browser — no install needed

Last week, we successfully resolved crashes related to the barcode scanner. We hope the scanner is now running smoothly for you!

4. Next Steps in the App

We have started the implementation of the iOS app because that’s what most users wanted (after all, 79 users!).

Here you see a picture of the iOS app in the design stage!

However, since problems occasionally arise in the use of the WebApp, we have decided to first release the WebApp in a stable version before continuing with the iOS app.

5. Change of Email Provider

As you can surely tell, we are sending this email newsletter through a new provider.
Unfortunately, we were unable to transfer the information about whether you had unsubscribed from the previous newsletter. So please accept our apologies if you receive this newsletter unintentionally - we kindly ask you to simply click “Unsubscribe” below if you do not wish to receive any further information from us. Thank you!!

6. Book Recommendation of the Month

Currently, we are spending a lot of time in the garden and on the balcony outside, enjoying the nice weather. We have also used this time to plant a variety of vegetables and herbs. Therefore, we would like to share the following book recommendation with you:

We wish you a nice weekend and lots of fun cooking and stocking up together!
