Pretty nice for pin collecting
04/15/2018

I'm using this to organize a Disney pin collection of about 200 pins. It's nice to be able to use any number of custom category fields with separate display and sorting options. The app can be a bit tedious to use, though, because of all the options. Also, there are a few anomalous display bugs - a number "1" shows up in front of the lowest "tier" category, apparently trying to count the number of items. Since I have no duplicates, every single item has a "1" in front of it. There are two display format options - both sort of list formats. I wish there was a collage-type display option with minimal text details. Still, one of the best collector apps that I've found.

App concept is great, but it constantly crashes

I have been using this app to catalog my jewelry collection, and overall, I like the format and the concept. But there are a few issues that seem to keep coming up that prevent it from being amazing. The biggest problem is that it keeps crashing, especially when I try to use the “Search” feature. And often, I will try to click on an entry, only to have a pop up appear saying “Missing page sources” and then I have to reboot the app. The notes section also won’t allow me to say the same thing in multiple entries, which is annoying if I want to track something like what seller the piece was bought from. I really don’t want to have to switch apps, but I also can’t keep using something that crashes all the time.

USED to love this app but..

**EDIT**I have to lower my review to 1 star because it stopped working when I upgraded to iPhone 14. I just get this Cannot set ‘next process’ error. When I launch it. And it never loads. I tried to go into the forums but it won’t let me register with my gmail address. Please help. I’ll gladly raise my review back up if this can be resolved. So far this app does nearly everything I want this type of app to do. I love being able to create my own fields for a collection. I have over 700 pc games and NEED to be able to see what I have so I don’t buy doubles. One thing that could be make this better is the ability to choose a default image compression percentage. Right now it’s 20% but I like 10 better and I have to change it for EVERY entry. Being able to set a default to 10 would be awesome. I hope I don’t run into the same problems as some others have. So far so good.

As fancy as it needs to be

This is a straightforward app for cataloging whatever you enjoy collecting. It doesn’t have fancy graphics or elaborate interface because it doesn’t need those things. I like that the fields can be customized to input information about whatever you want. It is a single app for our diverse collections and collectors (we currently catalog a collection of guitars and a wrist watch collection.) I also appreciate that you can upload your own photos for each item.
