### 2/5 — Unfortunately, not everything you need to track your collection

*2026-08-02*

The most disappointing piece missing from this app is an automatic tracking of your watch values over time. You have to manually go into every single watch in your and update it based on data any number of other apps provide. If they sell for this, it would meet all of my needs.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-05-17*

Even looking for something like this app for a long time, even considered writing my own. 

Ovidiu has put together an app that covers almost everything I want to track.   The fields not yet in the app he has been very receptive to adding them.

**Developer response:** I am very glad you like the app! And of course, user feedback is the main way to get the app better.

Thank you for taking the time to offer the feedback

### 5/5 — Best Collection App

*2026-04-29*

I’ve tried all the watch apps to keep track of my watch collection but they always fall short on my expectations, I downloaded this one expecting it to be just like the others but I’ve been seriously impressed! Feature-rich and easy to use. I really like this app and it helps me track my watch use

**Developer response:** Thank you, this means a lot. I built Lugs because I had the same problem: most watch collection apps either felt too limited, too clunky, or not built for how collectors actually use them.
