Better Than Past Perfect

I’m the collections manager at a fine arts museum. I have moved from Past Perfect to CatalogIt for a couple of reasons. First, it is really convenient having our entire collection in my back pocket. Many times I have pulled up photos of a painting or sculpture during an off-site meeting. Second, I like the interface on my laptop. It’s intuitive and not nearly as clunky as other, similar apps. My only complaint is that CatalogIt on my phone freezes up occasionally and I have to delete the app and reinstall it.

Great app

Looking at recent reviews I was disappointed but decided to give the app a try. I’ve been using it for a few hours now cataloging my coins. Now I used an app called snupps but they went under and no longer have servers open so I’d need to find a app replacement fast that is similar to theirs. This is the app you can have multiple pictures and I love how you can add captions to the pics and descriptions separate.

One thing I’d say is when cropping a picture in general sometimes it glitches the box u crop with and it goes away then u have to double tap to get it back. No biggie little problem I noticed.

Next when cropping a picture for an extra photo u could say to have that’s not he cover photo I wish the final crop would keep the actual size instead of zooming in on it makes u have to guess and check the crop u r doing till u get it right.

Other then great app I’m gonna be using it a lot I love it 5 stars

Very limited free version

The info page fails to mention that the app allows only 100 items, and they charge $120 per year for more. It also says it supports data and image imports, but does not say you have to work with their staff to make that happen - it’s not DIY. Abandoned without using because of those aspects and the non-disclosure of them.
