Would i buy it?
So today as I have got books , comics , coins and a few other collections to try to sort out and I thought here we go iCollect what a great idea costs $100 aus but there was a discount why not . Now we’re it goes down hill for me as I won’t to put through over 1000+ books but now I got to pay another 80 dollars usd per year for the pro feature even when I just bought 80 dollars worth of unlimited access . Yes before anyone says it I did now after looking into that you can it says about the pro version . I’ll keep with my collection and library thing pity it shows a bit of a cash grab on a good looking software

Charge too much
After you log 30 comics it asks for £30 to sign up , I would think £5-£10 would be a fair price but £30 is ridiculous!
I’ll use other collection apps until they decide to make it a sensible price

Could have been a good app. It is making someone money.
Broken app built specifically to get upgrades, yet the basic app itself doesn't work. Must log in to see device based collection. Either way they are getting your info to spam/sell your email lol. If the app worked i would have bought the upgrade even though $29 is too expensive. Annoying menu cross sells you their other app - button is literally an ad. UI design looks like they put out a request on fiver and called it a day on first response. Pretty lazy app.

Handy program
Good app don’t think the market needs much more than this one. Keeps track of my comic book collection as well as ones I need. Very useful for when I go to the comic shop and have to figure out which ones to get. Has most comics published.
Response from developer
Thank you for the great review! Please tell your friends about the apps.
Easy to use and fully loaded
Everything you need to track your collection, the content of each comic, where your storing and your ratings. I really appreciate the loaned out section which helps me track the whereabouts of wayward issues with friends and family!
Good, but be prepared to make a lot of edits
This is a good program, one of the best I’ve seen to organize your collection. That said, the database appears to be based on everyone else’s entries, and that can lead to significant discrepancies.
For instance, scanning the UPC for The Avengers #43 (June, 2021) will return “Avengers (2018) #43”. Scanning issue #44 will return “Avengers (Vol. 8) #44. Since your collection is sorted by title, then date, the different titles make it extremely difficult to determine which issues you have (and which ones you need). Additionally, the primary covers cannot be changed if you want to use an existing entry, so if you don’t like the photo, or if it’s wrong (as it has been more than a few times), you will have to enter everything manually.
Lastly, you can’t enter an entire series, like Secret Wars #1-12 or Camelot 3000 #1-12, and will have to enter each issue. If you have a large collection with pre-2000 issues, prepare to do a lot of manual entries.
Don’t get me wrong, once you get everything in and it the right order it’s great, but getting there should be much easier.

iCollect Comic Books on iPhone 12 Pro Max
These iCollect apps are pretty well done but this one has some issues. I have been adding lots of details to my collection and the barcode scanning is terrible compared to the movie one often bringing up incorrect entries forcing more editing. Adding pictures of the front, back and table of contents gives the option of adjusting the borders with drag circles but the left ones will occasionally close the window when being adjusted loosing the photo instead of resizing. Adding some comics like Heavy Metal magazine the volume numbers of early ones contain Roman numerals for volume and number but the field is to short. Sometimes scrolling down to add more details closes the entire work already done discarding everything with no warning or way to get it back forcing rework. There are two date fields used for different sorting options (great idea) but completing one doesn’t populate the other (I can see not forcing them to be the same but populate and let change if necessary would be great). It would be great if all the fields showed the last few entries used like the publisher does to help speed entry. I have lost almost an 1/8 of my entries before saving due to fat fingering or other issues so a warning before discard would be great. Thanks for all the work on creating this!

Main feature missing?
Tried it, reached the 30 comic limit then purchased. Before I reached the 30 comic limit , I realized adding “ runs “ was tedious, the ability to duplicate issue number 1 after all major fields filled in is non existent. Instead , I have to add #2,3,4, etc , each from scratch. Would be much better if I could duplicate issue one, with dates, publisher, title, etc ( attributes that don’t change ), duplicate it 10 times and then make individual changes to each. So, I bought it anyways, hoping that “ feature “ was in the paid version. But I don’t see it. Wondering why?

Terrible app
Unusable UPC scanner, the second you select it it scans, doesn’t let you line up the image first. Takes several tries to scan one damn UPC.
Garbage.
Garbage.
Amazing!!!!
Love this app!! Helps keep me organized and helps me keep track of what I own!! Also helps me when buying new comics cause all I have to do is pull this app up!!!
