What Our Users Say
Easy and fun way to create a home inventory
I was looking for an app to assist in inventorying a large collection of DVDs I was planning to donate and was dreading having to catalog them by hand. I looked for an app to scan barcodes and look up media details online and quickly found Nest Egg. I was able to quickly scan around 100 DVDs in just about 20 minutes. Amazing!

Every home needs this
I purchased Nest Egg many years ago after discovering that home insurance may not cover stolen or destroyed belongings if you can’t provide an itemized list with details (serial numbers, model numbers, cost, etc.)… It will scan barcodes so you don’t have to manually input every little piece of information… Make sure your home or renters insurance pitches in if something happens by inventorying EVERYTHING with Nest Egg.

It’s addicting! Lol
I’ve needed this App for many years! It’s great to have all your major purchases, collectibles, receipts, warranties…etc…all listed in one place…So Fantastic!

Great app easy to use
I tried the bar code reader on a toy that is 16 years old and it knew what the item was. The app works for everything you could ever need it for. Even customer support is great. I emailed them a question after 12:30am and received an answer and help within a hour and they answered question perfectly.

I recently changed from a windows-based home inventory to Nest Egg
It is easy to use once you play around with it for a few minutes and set it up to meet the needs of the location you are inventorying (home,office,garage,etc). Customer service is highly responsive and helpful. Learned about this app from a NY Times tech article.

I found it very useful
I used it to make an inventory of our camping trailer as well as our workshop and I found it very useful when you need to find some obscure hardware part that you have in dozens of bins in your workshop or garage.

The Nest Egg Home inventory app is simple to use
Organized and provides enough flexibility to suit your own situation. Reports are easy to create for use outside the app. I tried a few other inventory apps before settling on this one. Would highly recommend.

So glad I found this app!!
This was exactly what I needed to help me get a good inventory of the movies, music and books I owe. The best part is the scan barcode which looks up the information from online. This has been what sets this app apart from other ones I wasted money on.
