Description

My fountain pens is the application about all of your past, present and future fountain pens. It will give you an answer to the question: which fountain pens do I already have and why do I need one more? Or two?

The application enables the lovers of fountain pens to form their own personal database and keep track of their fountain pen and ink collection. The application contains detailed description of each fountain pen (manufacturer, model, filling system, etc.) which can be filled out directly or you can chose to import the information using Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers.

Collection can be searched and sorted by manufacturer of model. Picture can also be joined to each fountain pen by taking it personally or using one from already existing gallery.

Probably the most useful feature is “price drops” where you can follow sales and special actions to expand your personal collection. At the end, don’t forget to stay updated: follow the most popular YouTube channels about fountain pens and add the ones you would like to follow, if already not included.

Great app to keep track of all of your pens

Easy to use to keep your entire pen collection organized… Even if you just want to keep track of the ink color in each pen

Nice little app

The app is not overly drawn out. Instead, there are no splash screens except for a split second of a fountain pen nib but then it goes straight to the app where you can fill out all the information necessary.

My biggest complaints are lack of pen choices. I have the IM Vibrant Rings pen and it's not even in the list. It's been out for 2 years so I know the developer has had some time to update the app since then, but I digress.

Next, information on each category would be nice. This is my first real fountain pen since a cheap plastic one I bought many years ago so I don't really know what some of the categories mean. Looking them up individually on Google was a partial help but some of the categories were just a "wing it" sort of vibe. Fill out what you MIGHT think it means.

And yes, the very dull appearance of the app is not very appealing. But, where the app shines is the inks information section. I just bought 4 bottles of Diamine ink for my new Parker IM and can't wait to use them. Looking up all the colors is top notch. Not over the top info but just what you need including the strip of color to see how it might look on paper.

All in all, this is a decent little app that will allow me to begin my collection of fountain pens, starting with my Parker IM. Next on my radar is a Waterman or maybe a Scriveiner, which is the one I truly wanted in the first place but couldn't find a retailer here in Thailand.

Not a bad start…

This is not a bad start for an app like this. It obviously could use a fair bit of improvement but I think it’s got the right idea. Sadly it’s very slow to start the first time but once past that it’s got the fields I would expect for tracking fountain pens and ink. That said, unless you go through the trouble of downloading the pen database mentioned in the settings the drop down menus are very limited. I feel that there are a number of improvements that could be made to make data entry easier. This isn’t a pretty app or UI but I don’t feel that’s a problem due to what this app does. The UI is functional and usable at least. The export/import option is a nice touch.
