Liked it, bought paid version

I used it for 2 weeks, initially to organize the internal components of multiple computers, with plans to expand if it works--and it does, so I bought it.

Warning: Backup the database!! Either by iCloud, iTunes, or CSV file sent via email. See the About, FAQ entry. More later.

While testing, had to slowly delete the demo items to fit my new Items in the 15-limit iStorage Lite database. I left some items (like Loaned/Borrowed) for later reference, and printed some emailed reports (see Overview, Export by Mail).

I use the built-in barcode reader for existing ID Tags (barcodes) on some equipment, or print new ones from my Brother 1/2" tape labeler for others. This is VERY helpful for lookups.

Had a few false starts designing my Storages hierarchy, then decided one of the top levels to be Computers, then (computer name), then all the internal components inside that.

Nice that there are multiple levels. Easy to move things around & change "Storages" names (though why am I forced to go to About, Settings, Categories to change the Categories names? These should be easier to edit.

I made my initial categories of Computer Hardware, Standby Hardware (stuff on the shelf), Questionable, and Demo Stuff (all undeleted demo data was put there).

With this app, you can start anywhere collecting data, and fill it in as you get it; new items initially go under "No Category" so you can easily find them.

Now about backups and migrating to the paid version: the data does NOT disappear in the paid version like some have incorrectly commented, it simply has not been exported from the demo version then imported to the paid version YET. Run iStorage Lite, and the datas still there.

So back up what you entered in iStorage Lite (I did the iTunes to computer backup, as well as emailed myself PDF & CSV data files), bought the paid version, backed that up for fun & reference, then imported the "old" database using iTunes. See the About, FAQ entry. Works great.

So buy it, its worth the $5.
Thats all for now. More review later.
