## What is Magazines Collector?

Magazines Collector helps you keep track of your collection, especially in those moments at the store or the flea market where everything is on sale and you are not sure if you already have that old issue you just found in the dollar bin.

Access your collection from every device, search for a magazine, sort the list by issue or purchase date, and filter the copies by condition or year.

Create a list of the copies you need to replace, the issues you want to read next, and also those that you are eager to add to your collection.

### 4/5 — Good

*2023-08-22, version 3.3*

Please add the ability to include images with wishlist entries. Otherwise this scratches my itch, thanks.

### 3/5 — Promising but, Save your work

*2021-11-16, version 3.3*

While entering information about my magazine I guess I backed out of an entry one too many times, everything I had entered was gone. 

Wish list: It would be nice if the camera was able to crop and straighten images. If nothing else, the zoom feature. 

Barcode scanning and downloadable information from databases would be nice. If all I had was TIME magazine I wouldn’t mind having to build the information from scratch.

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2019-03-31, version 2.1*

Free and simple...I love it so far. As I add more images, I’m curious to see how much storage the app consumes. Also wonder about cloud sync...if I lose my phone, do I lose my collection info? Seems likely for a free app, but I’d pay a little for some cloud storage if necessary.

### 2/5 — Simple

*2015-11-03*

Just one simple thing would have made this app worth using,being able to scan the barcode of each magazine so it imports all info and pic.
