Sortly App Reviews

I read about this app in a news article just over a year ago. It had amazing reviews so I decided to try it to do an inventory of my extensive novelty collection. The app is awesome! Using my own list of folders and tags I am able to catalog and index my collection. I use the folders to distinguish different groups of items in my collection and tags to cross reference the items by a multitude of categories. This process has simplified my inventory while giving me a powerful set of tools to pull out subgroups in a variety of ways. I can change folder names and tag names on the fly and add or delete folders or tags at any time. I have complete control of my collection. In addition, I can print out a catalog of my collection by main category or export the data and manipulate it in any way I want. We will be moving soon and I look forward to using Sortly tools to help me move more effectively than I have ever done before. I have used Sortly help/support on several occasions and the team always provides responses quickly and completely. Honestly, I don’t know what I ever did without this app!

Very good and quick support.

Sortly will make labels easily, and make for inventory. However, finding where and how to scan the labels you have made is impossible. I have taken the photo, created item, in a folder, generated qr codes, print the labels, linked the qr codes. CAN NOT SCAN THE LABELS. I purchased sortly plus for the last 6 months preparing for move. Now I can not identify by the generated qr label what it is. Ridiculous. This is a platform to get you hooked, them have you upgrade to the pro version, which is more than I need. Absolutely the biggest waste of time, money, effort ever.

This is not a worthy app to pay monthly ! Dont waste your time Does not save in the cloud Kept nagging for a subscription Wasted 5 min of my time before I uninstalled it

This app is intuitive, easy to use, and very forgiving.

Love this organization system for my cookie cutters!!

This app helps you get the most out of your iPhone - great for home inventory, or any hobby or small business. You don’t need fancy bookkeeping software to track your inventory. Softly will turn it into a spreadsheet. You can see the value of your items at a glance right in your phone too, so if you’re a reseller it’s a huge help. The perfect solution for anyone dealing with one-of-kind items. Use it for shopping lists, moving lists, or travel. Keep track of your home improvement and decorating projects with a couple of clicks. Save your stuff to your computer, online storage, or just email it to yourself. Super simple.

I have been using Sortly since it came out and have found it to be consistently high performing and invaluable. Now everyone in my family can know immediately where something is. And Sortly is even better with the new web app!

Easy to use for home for insurance purposes,preparation in divorce and/or estate planning.

Yet another app that “will notify before your free trial ends” and does not. This app is not the greatest organizational tool but it’s one of the only options out there. That aspect is fine. What’s extremely displeasing are the amount of marketing emails I receive— but fail to receive an email notifying me they will be charging my card, as promised. Shady, shady, shady and poor treatment of customers.

I've been using this application for about two years. I forgot to write a review because I was too busy using the application. It's important to give credit to very good applications and this is one of those. I use this for every type of cataloging that's imaginable. It's so easy to use ! I also bought the pro version so that I could use the QR labels. I found those to speed up my workflow dramatically. And all I do to make labels is just print them on the printer and then tape them on the box. I don't go out and buy fancy Avery labels.

I love collecting trading pins, cameras, and art. I love being able to see what I have at a glance when making purchases. Love being able to track my valuables for insurance purposes.

We currently do HnB which has tons of inventory. We tried numerous apps and choose Sortly over all of them. For numerous reasons including; Ease of use for novice or pro. Navigation on site is easy to learn. Use on iPhone or iPad. Very reasonable price, with free trial option. Able to edit photos or description with ease. Personal attention from CEO. Has everything we could ask for plus more. We highly recommend this app for one and all!!

If you need to keep inventory of any of your business items this app is great and this app is for you you need to download it ASAP I use it to keep my shirt business inventory and it works great

Easy and fun to use.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Customer service is a joke. They will give a number to call and the number won’t even work. This app is a nightmare. Will charge your card even after canceling.

I used to love this app. But in a recent update the developer removed the very functionality I use it for and placed it in a higher priced service plan. Will be canceling as soon as I find a suitable replacement.

I’ve been procrastinating about doing the photo inventory, but when I found a review that listed Sortly as the #1 app I decided to give it a try. In just 1-1/2 hours I’ve already inventoried 2 rooms!

At first I thought it was great. Over time, I needed to update information, add product info, etc. The app would not always save my changes, even though it looked fine when I saved it. So I just couldn’t trust it. I ultimately cancelled my subscription.

This app is awesome. It helped me organize a huge connex full of material in one day. Simple steps to walk through take a snap shot add the quantity. And you can also organize in A-Z ascending order. So no worries about putting everything in order your self!

Was excited to use this app until I saw it jumped on the subscription service bandwagon.......awesome.

The owner of app was exceedingly rude when asked to help tech support something. The app doesn’t work very well and it a rip off at 30$/month. After dealing with Shaz, the apparently owner, I will be looking for a better app with much better customer service. If I could give negative stars, I would have.

Recommended!

My goods are located in a place with weak wifi. This app apparently requires updating in real time for every single adjustment? It's so tedious and time consuming to wait for it to reboot the entire catalog and all the photos after every entry that it makes pencil and paper look like a rocket ship. So you can't for example, do a count of all goods in a folder off line, and then sync it when you are done. It works offline, but as soon as you go on line you lose all the data you just entered (it reverts). Perhaps there is a work around, who knows? As far as I can tell from 30 minutes of looking, their customer service consist of a list of questions and answers, none of which mention off line adjustments. They don't seem to have interest in communicating/servicing customers. So if your goods are in a refer, or basement or anywhere that does not have smoking broadband, or if your wifi plunks out occasionally, good luck. Maybe I am wrong, who knows, no one to ask.

If you literally force me to review by nagging me with modals with no way to dismiss, you get one star.

I was searching for an app to inventory my Swarovski collection, and I needed it to be user friendly because I am not that good at computer stuff. This app is wonderful. I am so happy that I found it. My husband asked me me to use this app to organize his collectibles too.

Description did not make it clear that the free version had an item limit and is not appropriate for creating a home inventory.

Sortly has helped me keep my house and items in order. I am a busy working mom and it has saved me tons of time and keeps me organizationally sane and it’s easy to use.

This app is great, like Pinterest boards for categorizing your stuff. I got it to keep track of which paint colors I already own so I know what to get when I go to the store, and it works great for that. I would give five stars but the storage is limited, which is somewhat understandable as it is a free app but still is a pain when you start keeping track of multiple lists. There also seems to be no way of upgrading the storage without a monthly fee, a single payment would be much more reasonable. But if you're only keeping track of a few things it works fine.

There are item that simply won’t scan. So a lot of items I have won’t scan using the barcode.

I barely started using this app and I’m zooming through getting my inventory done. I sell offs and ends at a little antique market. I love it!!!!

I love love love this app. All my makeup, skincare and hair products in one place. No more buying duplicates and no more entering stuff into a spreadsheet.

Asome organization

I like this app and it does what it claims. One thing I’m using it for is keep track of my wine inventory and none of the barcodes are recognized, which I can live with, BUT once I drink the bottle and delete it from inventory, I can’t scan the barcode for the same wine, the next time I buy it, and have it recognize the barcode. I have to re-enter all the info again. P.I.A. To the developer—Please allow the app to save these manually entered barcode descriptions for future use.

1. In search. Theres no quick action to change quantity. Only move function. 2. Moving is complicated. When i move to different folder one quantity at a time in same folder. It will not merge. Items are separated like they are different item. 3. No alert for stock or item that has zero value. Or below 3 qty. and export it as list in pdf form. 4. Pro is super expensive. With a not so pro-ish value, its not worth the money.

I was looking for an home collection inventory manager for my movies and books. This looked great, until I found I had to pay a monthly to get access to the barcode scanner. Just not worth it.

Sortly is a great application that helps you keep inventory. It has been a great asset to my business.

I signed up and figured I would pay the $4.99 month. We have 100s or boxes ready for a move already barcoded and ready. Well, to scan your own barcodes you need the $30month Pro version. Free apps provide that for free, so it isn’t a licensing issues. It is a money grabbing issue. So sad.

I’ve always struggled with how to digitally organize things, and this app is fabulous! For example, I like to decorate cookies, and I have a lot of cookie cutters. This app helps me to keep them organized and allows me to quickly see what I already have so I don’t duplicate a cutter. My only request: It would be great if I could add a second picture. The first picture is of the cutter with a ruler so I can quickly see the size. It would be nice to be able to also add a picture of a cookie that has been decorated with that cutter. Or for the cutters that are designed for words ( like “Mom”) to see a pic of the word design since it is hard to tell when you are just looking at the cutter what word it represents.

I love this app! I'm still using the free version and its so easy to use that not only do I have a couple of my collections uploaded and organized, but I have started to use it for my kids toys and books too. Amelia Bedelia, fancy Nancy, and Skippy Jon Jones are some favorites. Because we go to the library to borrow books I can't always remember which titles we actually own, so when I'm at a second hand store I no longer end up buying duplicate copies of a book we already have. Same with their toys- trolls, my little pony, hatchamils, shopkins, etc. one of my kids loves to "check on their stuff" so I added folders for stuffed animals, super heroes, Lego sets, etc with just a picture of the item for them to scroll through & they love it. And because you can export and save the data, my spouse is considering using the app to keep track of all the household manuals, receipts, etc. Highly recommend this app!

Love this! Very easy home inventory!

I have always known I had hidden OCD within my personality; but wow this fueled it and it felt great to organize our closet using cube shelving with fabric cubes. We were able to label each Bin with a # and then Inventory the contents and tag them for ease of knowing which cubicle had which stuff. As the cubes were all up high in our shelves it made for zero guess work and can find anything we need on the app and now know exactly where to find it... if only organizing the rest of the house was this easy!! Thanks for such a great App.

It used to work well but lately I no longer see the photos for many folders and items. It may be because my database contains many items. Not sure, but I hope it will get fixed soon.

So far it’s easy to use and I’m learning quickly.

Tech support came through and went above and beyond when I made a mistake! This app has made keeping up with items much easier. Scanning items is much easier than looking for item information and serial numbers. Thanks Sortly!

Definitely worth a download. Really good app

I use this app to organize fabric and patterns for sewing. I love that I can check on fabric requirements for a pattern at the store, see if another fabric coordinates with one I already have or just realize that I already have that fabric, and shouldn’t get more. I plan to branch out into the books my daughter has too. I am so glad I upgraded from the free program. I thought 100 items was a lot, but I was off by a few 100 more.

Great app for organizing and documenting personal belongings

I just deleted it and took photos with my camera to keep in my photos. When I first got this app it was great. Updates ruined it!

I like the application. Elegant, easy to use. But ...a subscription? Really? Just to maintain a database of my home inventory they want to charge me $50/year (now, surely will go higher later once they have you well into using it). I would pay a reasonable price for the app, not an ongoing one for a ‘plan’. There are a number of good options out there that do not require ongoing payment from simple spreadsheets to pay once applications like Binary Systems Home Inventory (my current). Sortly is prettier than my current, not $50/year prettier. Hard pass!
