You might have seen my earlier thread asking "What smartphone do you have?". If you haven't seen it, please check it out and let me know. Here
Today I finished what I would consider Release Candidate 1 (RC1) of my iPhone app, Prep & Pantry, and I would really like it to be tested by some other folks on a few different devices. Any volunteers??
How the testing works in a nut shell:
The testing shouldn't take more than a half hour at most, but feel free to play! I do not expect that there will be many problems, but that is why we do testing.
Everyone that helps with the testing will be upgraded to the final release at no cost.
The devices that I am interested in for testing: iPod Touch 4G (camera), iPad 2 (camera), iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4. I am also interested in iPhone 2G & 3G, iPad 1st Gen, iPod Touch w/o camera though these devices do not support the barcode recognition feature.
If you're interested in being a beta tester, send me a PM and we'll go from there!
As always, questions and comments are welcome.
Thanks everyone!

How the testing works in a nut shell:
1) If you're interested, PM me your email address along with what device you are willing to test the app on.
2) If you're selected, I will send you an invite that gets you into the testing group and registers your device with the app.
3) After you join I will send you the app to test.
4) It's a one-click install. No computer or iTunes required.
5) The most important step. Try it out!
6) Give me your feedback, comments, and suggestions. Do all of the features work? Is there anything that could be improved upon? Tell me about your experience.

Prep & Pantry is your tracking solution for long-term food storage and preparedness supplies! Track stored item locations, quantities, and expiration dates.
Simply keeping an inventory of your pantry can be a cumbersome task, especially if all you have is a pad of paper. Items are shelved without being recorded. Pull an item off of the shelf. Oops! "Gotta go! Dinner's on the stove. I'll look it up and mark it off the list later." If this happens just a few times you'll have to start over and re-inventory everything. Who knows how far off the inventory list is?
What about that first aid kit or the food in your bug out bag. It can be mind-boggling how quickly those items seem to expire. "Wasn't it just last month I added those protein bars to my bag?" No, it was a year ago last month and they just expired.
Prep & Pantry is designed to be dead simple. Quick and easy to use. Clean. Uncluttered. Add a full shelf of items in minutes. Check an item out in seconds. Find what has expired or is about to along with where it is, right now.
Feature list:
• Barcode scanning for fast addition and removal of inventory.
• Manual item entry and lookup.
• Optional automatic online UPC/EAN lookup through UPCdatabase.com.
• Item photos. A visual guide to your inventory.
• Customizable keyword tagging.
• Sort items by name, expiration, or location.
• Search items by name or tag.
• Automatically add an item to your shopping list when used.
• Email the shopping list to someone else.
• Track inventory by location. Home pantry, Cabin pantry, Freezer, Cellar, Car first aid kit, etc.
• Optional use of your phone's GPS to lookup and save location information. Great for caches.
Prep & Pantry does more than track item expiration. It is useful for keeping supply inventories by location and quantity. For example, tracking the number of canisters of stove fuel and where they are stored. The entire contents of the first aid kit or your bug-out-bag. The emergency supplies in your car. Your book collection. The wine cellar. It doesn't matter what you need to keep track of, Prep & Pantry is there for you.
The items you keep track of don't necessarily have to have a barcode. You can create your own tracking ids. The id can be letters, numbers, or both. Do you have your own label printer? Using readily found software you can print your own barcodes. Prep & Pantry recognizes most types of barcodes including QR Code. (That's the square one that looks like tv static.)
Compatability
Prep & Pantry's barcode scanning feature is optimized to work with iPhone 3GS, 4G, and iPod Touch 4G. GPS location lookup works best with iPhone 3GS and4G.
