MyGearVault

If you are adding new gear and enter purchase date and then go to another app it starts all over and deletes your progress. Doesn’t do it until you enter purchase date. You can choose type of gear and leave and it stays up. You can add receipt and leave and it stays up. You can even enter purchase price and leave to another app or whatever and it is still up when you return. But once you enter purchase date it you go to another app you get to start all over. Now that I did the trouble shooting for you Please fix it!

App works totally fine. Does everything you need to catalog your gear (hence the name i suppose) and I can tell a lot of thought and consideration was put into its design. This app sort of has 2 other functions that you wouldnt immediately assume from what its being advertised for. One is a dedicated tab to helping you insure your gear, which depending on how you feel about that can go either way; and the other is two update users of videos and user info from the Fro himself. At best, if you are a fan of his content and need something to catalog your gear, this app is perfectly fine. However if you're not a fan of Jared, the app still works just as well for cataloguing gear. You just never have a reason to scroll past the first tab. I never really write reviews but I felt it was my obligation to say something after seeing how stupid and unnecessarily negative some of these reviews were. I almost didnt download this app because it was so bad. Its a shame, i see it as something well made and genuinely useful.

This app would be slightly useful to "keep track of my gear" if I felt I had just so much stuff that I was always losing lenses or bodies. But that's only assuming that the search feature returned useable results. It simply seems to list everything EVER made from a manufacturer instead of smartly searching exactly what I'm typing. Let's say Fujifilm for example. I type "Fujifilm 16-55" and ht enter. The app should be narrowing the thousands of "Fujifilm" results to reflect the next entered data of "16*", however doesn't seem to. So you still have lots of scrolling to do with the app when searching for your gear. It simply takes far too much time when what you're seeing is just thousands of unrelated things in the list with no results that are close to what you wanted. Ended up just using my trusty excel spreadsheet in the end.
