Check first before you switch from Evernote. I find the company made a lot of promises with the barcode thing but the companies supplying the barcodes didn’t really keep up to date with the app. So the barcode for me worked only like 10% of the time even after they came up with all the updates. You can manually input still though and it’s a lot of fun. Just don’t want to waste your hard work :)

Have a few questions already, primarily because I REALLY like the concept here. If I am adding camera images, how big are the image files? Are they saved at full size, as highly detailed images? Are they stored directly to the phone, or on a cloud server? I just don’t want this to become a seriously fat app that takes up all my phone storage. I also don’t want to end up with a huge file storage on the cloud with an app that ends up charging more and more $$ for the amount of storage space I’m using. Have stamp and die companies partnered with this site? If so, which ones? I know can create the same categories on Evernote, and build my database. Can others who have used Evernote to organize migrate their data to the new app? This may sound critical, but it’s not at all! Good products are the ones that engage these questions. The bad products are the ones you don’t even bother with. 😉

Since I am an over-organizer, another thing I do besides add to my Evernote (which I will definitely try importing to this app when they have that available), I stamp the entire stamp image (ink up the stamp on its actual acetate sheet without removing each little stamp image) and stamp on a 5.5 x 8 piece of cheap printer paper. I then label the corner with the manufacturer name and name of stamp and whether it has a coordinating die set. I then place these in 5.5 x 8 sheet protectors on a ring in manufacturer order so I have a physical copy I can browse if I'm unsure of what I want to make. I have so many now that I have little books of Nature, Holidays, Backgrounds, Words, and just Cards (no real category). Since I was a long time Stamps of Life subscriber, I also have one for that category as well. It does make for extra work, but I LOVE the fact that I can just flip through my sets or take the little books with me. Also, if an app fails for some reason, I have the actual organized books of my inventory. I know, seems redundant and crazy, but my little system works for the OCD in me! LOL. - Forgot to add, all my stamps and dies are organized in Jennifer McGuire style too, so I can pretty much cross reference and find anything in a matter of a minute or two even with my pretty ridiculously big inventory.

Thank you for sharing this program! I love being able to view pictures of stamp sets and do electronic searches. It gives you a comprehensive inventory of your crafting stuff for insurance purposes too. Haven't tried it yet, but I think setting up some projects will be really cool. I agree data entry is a bit of an effort when (like me) you didn't save the bar codes from the original packaging. However, very few of the bar codes I did scan resulted in information being populated into the database. I do like the fact that you only have to type most info in once, since the program provides predictions that you can choose from when making manual entries. I do wish the "quantity on hand" defaulted to 1. But all in all, what can be better than a crafting inventory program created by fellow crafters who know what we use and need?

Thanks Kathy for the honest review. We have a new feature in the works: Find Item. This will allow you to search for items in our catalog so you can quickly add them without the barcode. Hoping to have this out in about a month. We also have the enhancement to default the qty to 1, so you should see that one soon too. We are working diligently adding more products to the app - it can only get better over time.

I just discovered this video and this app🤯. Omg I was looking for this for ages 😧 it was like looking for the holy grale 🙈 I started a while ago putting all my data in another inventory system, but it is so limited 😢 now I’m using the trial version of this app. For me it is still getting used to the different system, but I guess it all makes sense 😉 I do hope they keep upgrading the app (eg other languages, possibility for a price total of all your items (I don’t see that) , putting links to your projects or to eg. inspiration boards) I don’t understand why I never found it earlier searching in the App Store. Now it will be quite a work to move everything in this app 😅😂

Evernote is constantly adding updates, but the application isn't focused on the crafter niche market. The application is intended for business team sharing. So, yes, the updates they do aren't crafter centric. This new app sounds like it would be decent if you only have products they support. Evernote is far more freeform which is daunting to a lot of people, but it allows entering everything your own way. I keep track of a lot more than it appears this app would allow. But, it looks like it would be a great app for a beginner, intimidated by computers, or someone who is daunted by the extreme flexibility of Evernote where you really do need to design your own organization. I work with computer software as my day job.

Hi Rijacki. I had used Evernote myself, but found it lacking in some areas, which is why we decided to develop this app. I wanted something that would allow searching/filtering by colors as well as word tags, while making it quick and easy to add items to the app. While we don't have all products at the start, we are continually adding new companies, as well as new releases and discontinued items. We would definitely be interested in hearing how we can improve the app and understanding what additional items you would like to track that we currently are lacking. Feel free to email us at support@colormylife.com. I hope you may consider the app in the future.

I just installed the free 30 day trial version and am quite impressed how easy it is to add items.It`s so much quicker than using evernote or similar programs. Although the scanning function quite often doesn't`t work it is easy enough to search for product photos online and load them into the app. Thumbs up for intuitive usage ! I`d prefer putting in the product numbers that are printed on packages instead of the barcode. It would be great if there was a field where I could fill in how much I paid for each item.That would be convenient for the insurance company in case of a fire.Also I`d like to know if there is a list of companies that you can use the scanning function with.Here`s a few brands I`d like to include in the manufacturer list: stampin up, Elizabeth Craft designs, Tonic Studios, We r memory keepers, Marianne designs, Joy crafts, Penny Black, Memorybox, Poppystamps, Concord and 9th, Waffle flower crafts, Papertrey Ink, Simply made crafts, cats on appletrees, Lawn Fawn, paper smooches, Nellie Snellen, Cottage Cuts, Quickutz, Darice, Alexandra Renke, Charlie & Paulchen, Steckenpferdchen, Kulricke, Textures...

I hope it gets to Android soon! I love that this one has specific spots for manufacturer and storage location. It looks really promising. The barcode-based inventory app that I loved and used for years has lost the barcode look-up function. Evidently Amazon changed the partnership agreement the developer had, so the lookups don't work anymore. I have over 3300 items stored in that app. It's been great to check when I'm out shopping.

Yes, this definitely looks like a tool we could all use in our craft rooms. I purchase S&Ds from many different stamp companies and as well, I'm currently re-organizing my out-of-control supplies. I too have purchased duplicates before, which is why I began an Inventory Chart. This app sounds like it would be very helpful, especially considering if one has a ton of supplies because it will save a ton of time when 'searching' for specific theme, color, type (ie sentiment or image), etc. I will have to wait for the Android version but I too am another one who would love to have it on my laptop as I have problems typing on cell phones and it tends to drive me nuts LOL. I can't imagine the work involved in updating the App all the time...can you image, especially since soooo many companies have monthly releases! Anyway, this App has definitely peaked my interest when the Android app is available. Thanks, Justine....you're a real 'doll'! Hugs from London, Ontario.

As you can imagine there are a lot of companies, but we are trying to do this as quickly as possible. Please know that we believe this is a core feature of the app and will continue to expand our barcode catalog. I'd also like to mention that if you do manually add an item where the barcode was not found, we will be able to track which products are missing and individually add them to the app. This way the next person won't encounter the issue and we all make the app better for everyone.

Evernote does not suck and it IS routinely updated. I use it for crafting (both inventory and inspiration tagged by product type and techniques used for), work, and general household like recipes, party planning, etc. Evernote has worked on iphone, Android, Windows, and Macs from the very beginning, effortlessly syncing between devices so all your devices have accurate and updated info. Other apps like this have existed for awhile. My friend uses MyMarkers which helps you track anything colored, markers, pens, pencils, ink pads, etc. And folks on Splitcoast Stampers also like Airtable for they way they can create their own database designed around they way they think. I think this app has potential but I don't think its the BEST... especially when you are promoting it and its not even on all platforms yet. Approx half of cell users in the US are on Android, and Android is more prevalent in countries outside the US. If you are starting from scratch with any inventory program, you'll be entering all your products anyway regardless of program. While Evernote doesn't have a barcode datebase or color matching, it has benefits that apply to aspects of life other than crafting, so I find it more versatile. My BFF and I both use Evernote and love the file sharing features. I can first check my stash and if I don't have what I need, I check her inventory stash, then I can text her with exactly what I want to borrow. Also, the entry system in Evernote is equally fast, if not faster with their Web Clipper feature, with tagging and categorizing. And Evernote can read text in pictures and in your notes, so if you are looking for a Thank You sentiment, your query will show all stamp sets with that sentiment stamp. I would have felt much better about you promoting this if you didn't dog another app first, then declare this the best, when in fact some will prefer one vs the other for different reasons. Would have been better to just show it as an option and let folks decide for themselves.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. I personally have used Evernote as a student and I do like it for other things. I just think that an app that is made by a paper crafter or paper crafters has so much potential for things we want. I adore the colour feature and think it is just the coolest thing. Evernote has had so many issues for me with photos being deleted and entries not going in the right places that I gave up on it. Many have. It has also had significant data breaches recently. So I have found something that works for me that I truly think is an incredible idea. I apologize if that offended you in some way.
