Spyderco 17+

I like that my most favorite knife brand has made their own app, with all of their products. Under normal circumstances, I would have placed a five star, but what I wish were to happen would be to be able to buy the products that you see, because sometimes, those products may not be on your normal shopping site, but really, this a brilliant app, and I hope the app improves later on.

This is a good app, it’s even a great app. However, it’s essentially just a digital catalogue for the current lineup at the time and that’s basically it. I think that the app would greatly improve if spyderco would gear parts of it more towards collectors. For example, they give you a wishlist and a “my collection” tab that you can put knives that you own or that you want in. The issue is this: as I stated, it only provides the catalogue for the current production lineup. So any knives that I own that have been discontinued, most sprint runs, all exclusives. None of these past models are represented on the app. Therefore I am not capable of cataloguing an accurate list of my collection and I am not capable of cataloguing an accurate list of what I’m still looking for. Most of my collection is discontinued and many of the knives I want are as well. Some of them are even still available but they are exclusives so they were never shown on the app or the site to begin with. I think that if this app had a full, comprehensive gallery of all knives produced by spyderco, at least the modern era of spyderco if nothing else so that collectors could more adequately keep up with their collections, it would make this app much more desirable to fans as well as more useful, because as it stands, there is absolutely nothing this app can do that a simple google search or a look in the paper catalogue can’t

Great idea, but the app is horribly flawed. Strangely many many models are missing or can’t be searched for directly but you might find them by browsing. Nice idea to allow you to make a virtual collection of knives you own but basic models and colors are not findable. Strange that they wouldn’t fix this? The only thing worse or more difficult to use from Spyderco is their website. Really, really bad. The app is a step up in functionality over the website. I hope they fix this app as it has some really clever and nice user interface moments, and specs of knives your considering for purchase are quickly researchable (if the search reveals it)
