A must have if you collect stamps

Gives very accurate perforation values, both for scanned and photographed stamps. I prefer to scan my stamps and then analyse them, as I find this easier. The app is also very useful for determining the stamp centering.

Not helpful for us stamps

Interesting. No template for US stamps. Perforations display unhelpful. Sorry. Thought it had potential: it’s getting harder for me to see perforation on scale, though this would help. Have not tried coin templates, so I can’t speak to that.

You should at least try to understand how the App works before writing your review.. How did you determine that there should be a separate template for US stamps? There is only one template for ALL world-wide stamps, including US stamps. In the current version, You can either use the circle Template or coins when photographing stamps. To photograph the stamp, you simply place the stamp and your selected coin or printed template on a black background and take photo . The app will analyze the stamp and provide the results. We also did not understand your other comment "it’s getting harder for me to see perforation on scale" Please let us know what you mean by this so that we can help you out.

Terrific customer service!

I really like this app. I recently had an issue with downloading photos and contacted customer service. It was late Saturday night. I got a replay in 5 minutes and over the next half hour 2-3 more emails and screen shots to fix the problem. I have never experienced better customer service and highly recommend this app!

As this app has been in use for many years and we have had a considerable amount of positive feedback, we are surprised to read your comment. We would certainly like to sort out your issue. Could you please provide either the stamp image or a screen shot. Based on your comment, it seems like a setup issue. Thanks

Terrific App

It took me about ten minutes to fully master it but it was well worth it. I use a 2€ coin and the results are as advertised. Of course a heavy cancel or margin selvage will have a negative effect but you should get sufficient data to identify the stamp. The only way to improve this App would be to come up with a color identification feature. This software is well worth the $5.00.

Amazing accuracy

I have found this app incredibly accurate in measuring both perforations and frame dimensions of a stamp.
The app now includes a measuring feature that I have found accurate to .1 mm. I scanned multiple millimeter devices at 600dpi ... then cropped 25mm sections and measured with this app. The results were dead on at 25mm.
I prefer to scan multiple stamps at 600dpi ... Photographing with a coin works just fine.

Great App and Support

This is a must have for any stamp collector. It takes all the guess work out of grading your collection. The support is excellent too.

It’s okay, could be better

The camera is a bit fussy and doesn’t like stamps on a white background.

Good recognition, but the result is saved in a PDF. Ideally it would be great if the results could be saved in a listed inventory.

PDF file any chance you could include the name of the stamp in the PDF? Shows info on the analyser screen, but not on the PDF, which is sort of the most important bit.

Sorry of the late reply.. we were unable to respond to the reviews. We will definitely Look in to the PDF version and include the stamp name. Please note that iIn order to find the perforations, the stamp analyser needs to a contrast between the background and the stamp. White does not provide that contrast. That is why we recommend that you use a black background. Thanks for your feedback.

Struggle to success

I assumed I would be able to simply photograph my stamps and get a fast read on the perforations. It does work with photographing, provided you get the QR symbol from the developer web site which I missed on the first go-around. The app developer was most kind and stayed with me through success. To get the accuracy I desired it is essential to scan the stamps, not simply photograph them. Obviously, dpi setting on the scanner must coincide with the app dpi setting. This should occur automatically of you have scanned properly. Because you have to know how to use your scanner and its related software, and if you are a novice like me, be prepared to invest a few hours fiddling around with it before you can reliably use the scans with the app. With that done, the app performs great. Rashid, the developer, takes customer support to a new level. Thanks Rashid
