Great app. Easy and simple. Missing feature I am looking for. Sending automatic email notification when an item goes below a specific stock amount. Many other features could be implemented in terms of customization, but then again, it would take the ‘lightness’ of the app away. Great potential. Great work.
Seems it’s the one I was looking for to manage my product list in mobile. Great work.
