hobbyDB Collection Management 4+

Longtime User

I have been using this/app since it was PPG or Pop Price Guide. I love the app but the user interface is unnecessarily hard to get the hang of. I use this app to keep track of all of my diecast cars, Funko pops, vintage video games and other collectible hobby items. The problem is most of the time only the most expensive items are entered into the database. You’ll always find Chase versions but a lot of times you won’t find the regular. Scanning the barcode is easy, but with items like Hot Wheels, you will still have to scan through a lot of cars to find your item. Don’t give me wrong, I love the app but I just wish it was easier to understand. Example would be, what’s the difference between my showcase and my collection? Buying and selling, is easy as long as you get the right seller. Give it a try, chances are you like it! Thanks

Great app, bad functionality

I love using this app to track my Funko collection, but the layout is a pain. Clicking on different selections will open up a separate window and then i have to go back into the app to use a different function or reach another page. No other app that i use has this sort of clunky feel. Still rate this high and recommend this to anyone to use. All of the right elements are there, just seems like an overall cleanup/reorganization would make this app fantastic.

Great Idea but could be better

Please add a Box to identify those with Errors. Please allow user to add an image and information to items not found. Having to Stroll for an item takes a long time only to find the item not listed or different. Would be nice if while typing in the Search box if named Item would be come up if in the Database. Would be nice if my Collection would be listed by name, Number, Series even Year introduced. Tho may take several pages to accomplish for each category. I am new to the Site so still learning how to locate Items, and a faster way. I have spent several days so far building my inventory and at this rate could take all year working it 10 - 12 hours a day. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for a great Idea, don’t know it there are others, I am here to stay just hope my suggestions are seen as credible.

Make the inventory Printable, With all the work I’m putting in God forbid that something happens to the site. I have heard nothing on my prior Suggestions.

These are great suggestions. Some of the answers are already at help.hobbydb.com, but I'll add them here too: 1) You can click the red "flag" button to alert us of errors, 2) We have a training process to upgrade users like yourself so you can add and edit items. Our entire community is built on volunteers like yourself, 3) We would like to add autofill for search, and will eventually, but it takes a lot of CPU to accomplish, 4) you should be able to filter and sort your collection by name, number, series and year. Check our tutorial and help pages... or reach out to us directly. 5) We are always adding and improving on ways to search and browse the site... it's amazing how difficult it is to organize 1,000,000+ items! As always, thanks for your feedback. If you are interested in volunteering, let us know at support@hobbydb.com and mention that I sent you (Zack).
