Ok, so I downloaded this product, and went to open it from my downloads folder and it came up with the window that it was initializing and then nothing? So I clicked on the downloaded folder again and now nothing happens. Am I missing something??

2.5.0 still has the bug with column widths not preserving their resized positions between sessions -- they always revert to the default widths.

Same non-sticky resized column issue exists in 2.6.0 so I've finally reported it in e-mail to the developer.

Did whoever downrated my original comment not want this to be reported/fixed? ;)

What's New
Version 2.4.3: Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated.

I hate it, when companies don't provide proper update release notes.

My apologies. Most of the reason for the v2.4.3 involved a really minor change for a very bizarre (and difficult to explain) issue. That's no excuse, though, and I should have done a better job of explaining the update.

Almost two years after I wrote a 5-star review about Home Inventory here, I'm even more impressed. Not only has the app evolved even more, but the developer (Kevin) continues to be one of the most responsive I've ever encountered. This "weekend" I re-installed Home Inventory on a new Mac and emailed him about a small issue (that was actually my fault) and he replied. Then during the course of our email exchange he continued on his iPhone (obviously trying to keep a customer happy during his own weekend...something he certainly didn't have to do). I just want to say that some other developers should take a lesson from this and maybe be even half as responsive as Kevin.

I quote the developers website, "a new license is $34.95". This information should be updated here. $14.95 is the upgrade price.

The list is correct. $14.99 is the price for the full version. It appears there was an oversite on the web page for upgrading from version 1.x, which we will correct.

My first post on macupdate, wow, I deserve a cookie. I just purchased this product and I must admit - I'm impressed! I will spare all of you the usual posting lingo, "ease of use, great layout, wow, handy app" etc. Also, I will spare you of any sort of tech speak or terminology that may baffle most people. My issues, if any, is whether I purchased the right product or not. Let me explain. Don't get me wrong, I like this app and I am not going to trash or give it a poor rating or review; however, I just finished looking at another product called MyStuff. Is anyone familiar with this product? It looks great. What I like most is the ability to add video. Perhaps Home Inventory does this and I've missed it, but as of now I haven't been able to locate this feature. Also, I like the warranty manager and how it allows a user to view a progressive timeline, not text, of a product's warranty end-date. My explanation will not give it justice. You will have to see it for yourself. Finally, I like the FileFinder Palette. Wow! You can add a user manuel in PDF with ease and directly from the print menu.

Nevertheless, Binary Formations (Home Inventory) already has my money. There's no going back; however, so will Minder Software (MyStuff). My hope, my hope is that Binary Formations (Home Inventory) makes the improvements I've mentioned above. I like the product, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will continue to improve on an already great product. 4.5 Stars, but will still test drive MyStuff. Just being honest. Thanks!

First, I'd like to address the comment I made in my original review regarding the developer not replying to my email. When he happened to see my review here, he immediately contacted me, mortified that a customer had emailed him and he had failed to reply. He said he simply didn't receive my email and I sincerely believe him.

More importantly, I've had some time to look over version 2.0 of Home Inventory and I'm VERY impressed! Not only has the developer addressed all my issues with the app, he's addressed some I hadn't even thought of. As a home burglary victim (nearly $30K in unrecoverable jewelry...without insurance riders) I can't begin to tell you how important an app like Home Inventory is. Insurance adjusters have some wiggle room when you're sitting across the desk from them, and if you have all your receipts, a set of pictures, descriptions of each item taken and where it was in your house, or office...you're in a much better bargaining position than without these things.

There is not another app...not one...that even comes close to what I see in version 2.0 of Home Inventory. And from having chatted with the developer in email I can assure you he honesty cares about his application and wants to ensure it is the very best in it's class. I am very impressed with someone who has these goals in a small business and puts them ahead of greed. I would highly recommend v2.0 of Home Inventory.

I have been a Home Inventory user for years.

Based on the various communications I've had with the developer via e-mail in that time, I consider him to be THE MOST responsive and sincere dev I've encountered. He truly cares about this program, and about his customers.

Home Inventory 2 is an awesome achievement. I'm LOVING it!
