Warranty Tracker for Android keeps track of warranties and deadlines

It can be quite difficult to keep an overview over the warranty periods of each item that you have purchased in recent time.
It is likely that you will have to look up information about an item's warranty period or return deadline when it breaks or stops working properly. Did you purchase it last year, or the year before that, and how long is the warranty period anyway for the item?
The Android application Warranty Tracker tries to resolve this uncertainty for you by providing you with the means to keep track of all relevant information.
Before you can start making use of the apps' functionality, you need to add items to it.

This can be done manually, or by making use of the integrated barcode scanner which looks up relevant product information for you so that you do not have to type them in manually.
The application can keep track of a lot of things including the following information:
- The product's serial number and model number. This can be very useful if you need to contact a support line or if the information are requested elsewhere.
- The date the item has been purchased.
- The return and rebate deadline.
- The warranty period of the product.
In addition to that, it is also possible to take a snapshot of the recipe, so that you have it always at hand if your Android device is nearby.
Note: The program requires that you create an account before you can make use of it. The information that you enter seem to be stored in the cloud, which can be beneficial if you are using multiple devices but also problematic if you do not want that to happen. There is no option to use it locally only.
Warranty Tracker displays all items that you have added to it to you in its interface. It displays a thumbnail image of the item and its name, the purchase data, and whether the recipe has been photographed or not. The attachment icon means that attachments are missing, which is somewhat confusing.
If you do not use the barcode scanner, you can either search for items by name or barcode. There is no option to add products manually to the application.
While it does a good job at finding products, this could be problematic in cases where products are not found in the database.
As far as the barcode scanner is concerned: it did identify some barcodes correctly but failed to do so for others. Your experience may vary depending on the country you are living in and the products that you want to track using the application.
Verdict
If you do not mind the cloud synchronization of information, or the fact that you do need to create an account to use Warranty Tracker, then you may find it highly useful for keeping track of return deadlines and product warranties.

Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
The only “Hot” aspect about this discussion is that all the users are psychic and have discovered a way to comment on a particular topic a couple of weeks before it actually appears i.e. the article is dated 3 October while the comments date from August 18.
Is this an example of how the super intelligent AI is going about its business?
