Reptile Scan

[lunasjy]

Is this app any good? From their facebook page it seems they are having issues with updates...

Also, price? Their website says it's $24.99 but on iTunes it says $28.99. Not sure if I am even willing to pay either prices for something a $1.00 note pad and pen does but it would be nice to have something... better organized.

So anyone use this software that know the pros and cons? Thanks.

I use it and LOVE it! I don't use the App much though. I enter everything on the computer. Not sure on the price thing though. Can't remember what I paid for it

Depends on your needs if you have a pet or two I would not see the point however if you have a nice growing collection it definitely is a great tool, I use it and my favorite feature is the QR codes I pretty much enter all my data this way, from feeding to breeding etc.

I don't have an extremely large collection but I do have a collection where I definitely need to keep track. It only takes a few minutes for me to forget who ate and when and what lol. I just wish they had a demo for it before I purchased it... that is the only thing really holding me back from buying it. I am too scared to put money down on something without really seeing it.

I use it for everything as well - both the app and the website for various things. The thing I love about it, besides the functionality, is the developer is very responsive to feedback and is constantly looking for ways to improve. It's hard to beat a great product with customer service to match!

It is worth every penny. The QR codes make data entries easy on the app, and then on the web site you can a lot more

I've been using the demo for herper pro. It's got a lot of stuff on it - also a lot I don't need - but I could see it replacing my excel spreadsheet tracking pretty easily. You could give that a try if you're looking for a software alternative. Demo version you don't get full features and it limits you to 4 snakes I think. I've never tried reptile scan for the same reason - don't want to pay for a product I may not like in the 1st 5 min of purchase.

I have it, love it, and recommend it. The qr codes are such a timesaving feature. You just scan it right there.

Been using Reptile Scan for over a year and a half and really like it. The ease of either using my phone to scan the QR codes or entry on the computer makes it nice a flexible. I have the Pro version which I doubt I'll renew as I don't seem to use most of the features it adds, the basic version is just fine for me.

I would not suggest herperpro. I actually bought it. It has been abandoned by the developers. They haven't responded since January 2014 and have had no updates since. Just go to their FB page and you will see what I am talking about. It is extremely glitchy too. It does what it should though and it does work but without the updates you will find it annoying. When you scan multiple animals, some do not get recorded or gets erased and it is very annoying. When you are working on an entry, it will suddenly go to a different animal making you need to retype EVERYTHING and delete the information on the animal it wasn't suppose to be on. I do not use the program anymore which is why I am looking for a new one. After the shotty HerperPro... it is kind of why I am a little nervous about using reptile scan. But I think I will put my money towards it since most of you seem to like it. Thank you for you replies.
