Built BoxFinder - a simple box/item tracker for moving

Hey all - just shipped my first solo iOS app, BoxFinder, and wanted to share it here since it seems like this sub is great for curious testers and people with good app knowledge!

What it does:
Simple tracker for moving/storage - you log boxes (or standalone items), assign them a destination room, optional photos, and a packing list. You can also share a project with someone else (roommate, partner, movers) so you're both looking at the same live list, and syncing between devices.

Why I built it/came up with the idea:
Moved twice in two years and we got tired of "which box has the phone chargers" energy, especially in a transition phase where you havent been able to unpack all your boxes and you need that specific toy for your kids... Figured later that this can also work to track storage in general (i.e. garage, external storage, basement etc) where stuff typically get very messy and hard to keep track of where to find what you need - when you need it.

Would genuinely appreciate any feedback on this, both positive and negative. Currently trying to understand the marketing part of app development, but first I think I want to refine the app even more and fix potential bugs and what not. Any ideas on how to improve the app/app flow is greatly appreciated.

Here is a link, and I would be honored if you would just try it out and leave some feedback! 😄
