Compartments for Mac

Installed Positively surprised No metric Useless outside USA Deleted again

No export/import function, no update in over a year… probably dead. I liked it at first sight, but it has too many shortcomings. No field for manufacturer and store website… I reckon it's all going into the notes. What a mess. Potential, but sadly neglected by the developer.

Please, please please add drag and drop for images and attachments. I'd love to buy this, but not without those features. Thanks.

I've been overwhelmed lately by things I have to do and get done, but I wanted to say a few things about Compartments. I'll write a thorough review in a few months. 1) Free upgrades for life. 2) With one license you can use Compartments on as many computers as you like so long as they are your (the buyer of the software) computers. 3) Compartments has been on sale for $10 during the entire month of December, and it’s not hard to find Compartments on sale for $10 with a little effort and patience. This software is well worth $10 for what it does. 4) Their web pages are well thought out and will tell/teach of many related things you can do with Compartments concerning home inventory. 5) The developer is working on ver. 2.0 and is open to suggestions, but please keep in mind he would like to keep the app simple and easy to use. Since this software is basically being developed by just one man, he is working in a vacuum and could use our encouragement I’m sure. i think the simpleness of this software, as well as Chronicle, is great. I haven’t used it enough to give it a review just yet though.

Overall I'm pleased with Compartments. It is very easy to use. I like the notion of defining all the rooms in the house easily and then adding items in what order I choose. Adding photographs is a good idea for insurance purposes. I also really like the capability to define define collections of items that are independent of specific locations. As an example, you could create a equipment of fishing equipment since it really is not permanent in just one room. It would be neat to map "Collections" objects to specific rooms. I also discovered the quick item load which allows one to "batch" load a list of items at one time. Then you can go back and add details. The reports are easy to read. I would like to see additional reports types or the ability to customize reports. I'd also like to see an expansed list of standard named items and to be able to add items and the resue them instead of rekeying. I expect Compartments to grow in features (e.g. reporting) over time. But I hope they keep it simple. I admit I tend to experiment with a new tool pretty much without studying the help to see how intuitive it is. I found it pretty easy to learn but I did check a could of items in Help.
