Boxstorm Inventory Management

I usually don’t write reviews, but I cannot skip over this huge problem that Boxstorm has just caused. I first started using Boxstorm a few months ago for my small online business. Prior to Boxstorm, I was using spreadsheets to keep track of my inventory. The Boxstorm Forever Free allows users unlimited inventory tracking, with reduced features. Basically, a basic inventory tracker that you can use on your phone, tablet or PC. I have spent the last few months updating my inventory with Boxstorm, and adding over 300 items to my inventory. Today I received an email from Boxstorm that stated their Free version now only includes 25 items and 100 transactions per month. I called and spoke with customer service, who advised me those currently on Forever Free will have access to their items over 25, but will be limited to only managing 25 of those per month. If you have a large inventory like I do, that means you can no longer constantly update the ever-changing inventory. The only paid plan is now $79 a month. Previously, there were separate paid tiers. They are all going away. Forever Free should have meant forever. Not until we deem Forever has ended.

Wanted to use this app in conjunction with an iPad mini for easy inventory control in our office. While the web interface is good on the PC, the app on this iPad mini doesn’t fill the screen. It just fits a tiny slot on the screen, looking like it is sized for an iPhone instead. Would be awesome if that was fixed.

Initially gave this app 1 star because I wasn’t able to create an account due to a problem with the sign up page.. they have cleared up whatever the problem was and I am now able to use it.. wonderful app, very easy to use and does a great job at categorizing inventory.. I’d recommend this to anyone store that has lots of incoming and outgoing material.. makes it easy to update inventory as well.. I work at a building supply store and I have loads of shingles coming and going everyday and it really helps us keep track of our stock and has already saved me trips to the warehouse
