I just started doing some freelance personal shopping for a couple of clients here in Chicago and honestly I am so lost with the tech side of things. I spend all day running around different shops and taking photos of cool stuff I find but then when I get home everything is just a big mess in my camera roll. I cant remember which store had which dress or how much anything cost because I forget to take a picture of the tag half the time lol.
Sorry if this is a really basic question but I have no idea where to even start looking for a tool to fix this. Are there any easy apps for categorizing things you find while out shopping? I need something really simple and hopefully cheap or free because my budget is pretty tight right now...

I've been doing similar work for a while now and honestly, I would suggest staying away from those trendy new apps that promise to automate everything. Most are just buggy or try to lock you into a subscription. I've been using Trello for my finds and I am very satisfied with it. It is reliable and hasn't let me down yet. Here are a few cautions based on my experience:
- Avoid apps that require a constant internet connection. Stores often have dead zones and you will lose your progress.
- Be careful with apps that do not let you export your data. If they go out of business, you lose your entire inventory list.
- Dont trust anything that doesnt sync to a desktop version. Checking things on a bigger screen later is vital for accuracy. Trello works well and handles my photos with no complaints. It is simple enough that it doesnt get in the way.
