Fantastic App w/Endless Capability!
Response from developer
Thank you so much! "Just what I was looking for" is exactly what I set out to build, so this made my day. On a lifetime plan: I have thought about it, and the honest answer is no, at least for now. Keptcase runs on services that bill me every month, the movie, TV, music, book and game catalogues, barcode lookups, eBay price updates and cloud backup, and a single payment would not keep those running for years. The yearly plan is the closest thing I can offer fairly. It works out to about $3.33 a month, and if you ever stop, your collection stays on your phone to browse and export. There is a lot more on the way, and I would love to hear what you would like to see next. hello@keptcase.app comes straight to me. GC, Keptcase
Board Games Please
Response from developer
Thank you! Board games come up more than you might think, and I hear you. Right now the Games shelf is built around video games, with their own catalogue behind it, so board games would need a catalogue of their own to do them properly, with the box art, the publisher and the year. I have not found the right one yet, but I am keeping an eye out, and your review is a good nudge. In the meantime, a board game can live on the Games shelf as a hand-added title with a cover from your camera roll. It is not the same as a proper shelf, I know. If you have thoughts on what a board game entry should hold, hello@keptcase.app comes straight to me. GC, Keptcase
Not paying subscriptions
Response from developer
Thank you for trying Keptcase, and for saying it seems great! That means a lot coming from a fellow collector. I completely understand being tired of subscriptions. I went this way because the app runs on services that bill me every month: the movie, TV, game and music catalogues, barcode lookups, eBay price updates and cloud backup. A single payment would not keep those running for years, and I want Keptcase to keep getting better, not stall. I have tried to keep it fair. There is a 7-day free trial, one price covers every shelf, and the yearly plan works out to about $3.33 a month. If you ever stop, your collection stays on your phone to browse and export. Nothing is held hostage. A lot has also landed since 1.0.7: order tracking, Log a Watch, search across every shelf, For Sale, and more. If you give the trial a go and Keptcase earns its place on your phone, I would be really grateful if you would update your review. Either way, hello@keptcase.app comes straight to me if you have any questions. GC, Keptcase
An absolute must have for collectors!
Response from developer
Thank you so much! This is the review I'll be re-reading on the hard days. "Created by someone who understands physical media collectors" is the whole brief. I'm a collector first; every screen in here started as something that annoyed me about my own shelves. And you're using it the way I hoped someone would. Books and movies side by side with a few games, and more. One app instead of three or more. The themes were the last thing I expected people to latch onto, and they've turned out to be the thing collectors mention most. A shelf should look like yours, not like mine. There's more coming on that front. If you ever hit something that bugs you, hello@keptcase.app comes straight to me. Thanks for taking the time to write all that out. It really means a lot. Thank you for all the support and for choosing Keptcase. GC, Keptcase
What I’ve Been Waiting For
Response from developer
Thank you so much! "Everything, in one app, done well" is exactly the bar I set, so reading it back from a collector is the best I could ask for. The one-app part was the hard call it. Would have been far easier to ship a movie app and stop but I wanted to build something that had it all. I'm so glad it landed. There more on the way! If anything ever falls short, hello@keptcase.app reaches me directly. Thank you again for all your support. GC, Keptcase
