Keeping an inventory of what's in your home is a good idea that many people don't think of until it's too late. Even those who do make an effort to inventory their possessions are often put off by the size of the task, the necessity of keeping up with it, and results that leave a lot to be desired. Frostbow Home Inventory 5 Lite makes it easy to record an ongoing inventory of your possessions, what shape they're in, what they cost, and what they're worth. Everything about Frostbow Home Inventory will help ease the process when property is lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged, sold, transferred, bequeathed, or inherited.

The clearly configured interface opens with a sample record that gives a quick feel for what's entered and how. Drop-down lists include many manufacturers' names, retail stores, and other frequently used items. You can record warranty information, serial numbers, and identifying marks, and even attach images of the item, or scanned receipts and other documents. You can head off future family squabbles by designating an heir for each item. It'll generate charts and reports, too. Since an inventory that's lost with your possessions won't do you much good, it's a simple matter to make backups and store them online or remotely.

Frostbow Home Inventory downloads, installs, and operates quickly, smoothly, and robustly, since it's more or less a database program optimized toward a particular use. Like any decent house guest, it asks before it does things you might not like, such as installing icons. And it's free, so there's no excuse not to use it to protect your home and possessions.

Pros
This program is great !! I love that it gives you the option to add as many photos as you wish! I am using it for all of my home inventory.
Cons
I wish that you could attach pdf's as well. It also isn't so great for books.
Summary
I absolutely love this program and if they could add a better book & movie interface, would be the only program I would use!

Pros
I used to have my inventory on Microsoft Money but since they appear to be discontinuing I looked for an alternative. This fills all my needs.
Cons
I found the large icons a bit off putting, but I am getting used to it.
Summary
Just what I've been looking for!

Pros
I love how easy it is to enter my data.
Cons
I have no complaints.
Summary
This application allows me to enter all the information I want to keep on my inventory. I was specifically looking for something to maintain warranty information as well, and this works perfectly. Entering data is easy and I am excited to have finally found such a comprehensive program. Thanks!
Fast, nice prog., easy to use w/ tons of info & pics

Pros
A simple program with clean screens and thumbnail picture ability. Search feature is very helpful along with the many charts and graphs. Put in all the info you can think of to help describing the items you want to save.
Cons
It was a little frustrating getting the pics dropped in place, just took a little time playing with it. Good help screens to get you through it.
Summary
You can use this for any type of item documentation. The vast info that can be logged in, along with pics and search feature makes it quick and easy to use. The price is definitely right....FREE!! Thanks designers!!!
I love it-thanks for the free version developers

Pros
I have been using this on a vista machine for a few months. I love it and really haven't had a problem.
Cons
None really!
Summary
Downloads & installs nicely and is easy to use. So far it's handled my large collection of bells with pictures-no problems. Every-once-in-awhile an error message comes up saying that the program has stopped working, but it never does, so I don't know what that's all about.
LOVE IT!

Pros
This is such a nice software, I'll probably go to the Pro, but even the Lite is great. Reports print nice tons of options. Occasionally comes up with error, but doesn't seem to cause any problems. Can't say enough about this product!
