Expiring Things

Description of Expiring Things

With this app, you can quickly and easily store and retrieve information about your products:
quantity
,
initial quantity
,
expiration date
,
purchase and opened dates
,
container
(where the product is stored),
price
, and notes.
The main usage of this app is to manage expiration dates and quantities, but expiration date is optional, so you can use it also to track location and remaining quantity of products that do not expire.
Functionalities:
• Add products with name, category, initial and remaining quantity, quantity unit, storage location, expiration date, purchase date, opened date, price and notes. Only name and category are mandatory fields, the other are optional.
• Add products choosing from a list of previously entered products.
• Add products by cloning an existing one.
• Add products by scanning their
barcode
. The first time you scan a new product, you will need to enter its details manually, because the app does not depend on external services to retrieve the product name. Starting from the next time, the app will remember the name of the product, the category, the quantity, the unit of measure of the quantity and the expiration date entered for the last scan.
• View products grouped by
categories
. Three default categories are provided at app start, but you can delete them and create your own.
• View products grouped by their storage location (called
"containers"
in the app).
• View products emphasizing their expiration date or their remaining quantity. In the view that emphasizes remaining quantity you can change it without opening the product details page.

Sort
products by name, expiration date, purchase date, opened date or remaining quantity.

Please review your device's battery optimization settings if you don't receive notifications, or contact the developer for help.

Dropbox
