To get you started, My Collections includes numerous built-in templates for keeping track of your outdoor equipment, books, coins, movies, and more, which you can use as-is, or customize. It’s easy to manage your collections, adding as much detail as you want, including photos, descriptions, hyperlinks, information from Wikipedia, and more. SYNC COLLECTIONS BETWEEN DEVICES Your MyCollections data is safely stored on your phone, tablet, or laptop, so you don’t need to sign up for any cloud services if you don’t want to.

It’s easy to manage exactly which records and which details your friends can access, with fine-grained control over the information friends can view or search for in each collection. You can also share collection items via email, Facebook, Twitter, etc., with the tap of a button. LEND AND SELL ITEMS FROM YOUR COLLECTIONS MyCollections makes it easy to keep track of items you lend to friends, and even set due dates for their return.

I want to change my password as I don’t remember it but the only way is to put in old password first! I’ve put so much work into this app I’m afraid to loose access ### 5/5 — My collections *2026-04-06, version 14.0.7* Brilliant app’ Was able to convert an old CSV file to XML and import around 400 items into this app. Quite easy to use once you’ve found your way around and great UI and search/sort capabilities. My only request would be the option to select multiple images from photos to add to a listing, rather than adding individually which I think is the only way? Overall a really useful application, thank you! P.s. have had no crashes like one review mentioned, mine has been rock solid. ### 5/5 — USE THIS APP *2026-03-23, version 14.0.7* Just what I wanted And fully free too If you collect anything USE THIS APP ### 5/5 — Great for craft supplies *2025-10-26, version 14.0.6* Keeps track of my craft supplies so avoids buying items twice Also use as an inventory for insurance purposes ### 2/5 — Super Glitchy *2025-06-15, version 14.0.6* This app seems great, but if you actually have a large collection, beware! You need to save and sync after every addition, otherwise, you randomly lose all of your work. Also, the fact that you can’t change the sort to most recent additions first means you have to scroll endlessly to pick up where you left off - IF the app doesn’t crash, which it frequently does does! ### 1/5 — What the heck happened? *2025-03-22, version 14.0.6* I used to really love this app. Mow every time I tap anything I get an error that says “missing page sources”. I don’t know if it’s an OS issue. It’s been a long time since I have used it, but I’m trying to catalog my sewing patterns to no avail. ### 5/5 — Best app ever made *2025-01-19, version 14.0.4* I use this free database app for a Collectible soda bottle website and I could not be happier with the capabilities, structure and dependability of My Collections. Altova has done a phenomenal job. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2024-10-08, version 14.0.4* App freezes quite often. Had a lot saved in it, got new phone, and now the app won’t work and I’ve lost all my entries. ### 5/5 — Works fine *2024-06-04, version 14.0.4* “Missing Page Sources” will stop me from adding/editing/viewing anything on the app pretty consistently. Not sure why or how to fix but it will stop eventually and the app works great after that ### 1/5 — Not actually for personal use *2024-02-28, version 14.0.2* So it’s an absolute nightmare to do anything to begin with but once you manage to get anywhere after finding ways around bugs and the nonsensical things it turns out you have only two choices. You can list it for sale or for lend. So calling it my collection is quite literally misleading and not accurate. ## Frequently asked questions about Altova MyCollections ### What does Altova MyCollections do?
