### 3/5 — Slow-loading

*2020-11-20, version 2.0.8*

Premium purchased. Polishes load slowly and won’t stay loaded. By the time you scroll to the bottom, the polishes at the top have un-loaded. Other than that, good selection of polishes and a good variety of sorting features.

### 3/5 — Great for a Rack... but not user friendly.

*2020-09-11, version 2.0.8*

This app does what it’s supposed to do but man, this is not a user-friendly app. It’s like a computer program from the 90s or early 2000s. Please update!

### 3/5 — Upgrade

*2020-07-23, version 2.0.8*

Why is there no application update?  In the play store there was already one but for the app store no 😞

### 3/5 — Hacked?

*2020-01-12, version 2.0.8*

This app is currently filled with photos of Trump. The pics of the nail polish swatches are gone, and his face is there instead. What the heck is going on with this app??!!

### 3/5 — Great app but IPhone version has a problem

*2018-09-05, version 2.0.5*

I had this on Android and it was perfect. The version for the iPhone does not allow you to search your rack by most recently worn.  Can we fix that?

### 4/5 — Good but would love extra features

*2017-08-10, version 2.0.5*

I really love this app. It's the best nail polish cataloguing app that I've come across, and I've tried a few! 
I really wish there were a few extra features, like being able to share my rack, wish and swap lists. I also wish there was an option to filter the polishes that I have listed as being unused so then I can quickly see what I still have that hasn't been used. 
Apart from that it's a great app. Would definitely give it 5 stars if those extra features were included.

### 3/5 — Great concept!

*2017-07-08, version 2.0.5*

I love that this app exists! That being said, I have to completely exit out of the app every time I add a nail polish to my rack, as the back button does not work there. Also, I would like to be able to choose one of the pictures for each polish to show as the icon for my rack, rather than just being able to look at them.  I would also like to be able to look at my polishes by collection, and not just color/finish/brand. I have had the app for about an hour, and loaded two brands into my rack so far, and those are the issues I have found. Would love to see an update!

Update: Thanks for the update! No more closing out the app every time I scan a new polish. If you could make it possible to choose one of the available pics or to use your own pic for the polish icon in your rack, that would be awesome!

### 3/5 — Nice but crashes constantly

*2017-05-25, version 2.0.4*

I purchased the elite version and I like how I'm able to add polishes, edit information, change pictures and keep my large collection well cataloged on the go. The downside however, is this app crashes constantly. Anything I search, upload, edit..etc..it's crash city, I have to close the program and go back in. With over a 1000 polishes to enter and many are not even in the database this is sooooo time consuming to add, edit, crash...and repeat. I hope theres a fix coming soon.

### 3/5 — 1/12 ADD 'BACK' BUTTON ASAP!

*2017-01-14, version 2.0.1*

Update: Back button! I was going to give this five stars then I wanted to freak out after buying the elite version and give it one star. I settled on 3 since it's the median. This app is awesome and I will totally give it 5 stars; when I get a back button. I've been dying for it to come to iPhone. Now it's here and I'm so happy but there's no way to go back to the list after I've added a polish. I have to start over at the DB every. single. time. For every single polish. If I'm paying $2.99 to list infinite polishes on my rack I need to be able to add things to my rack at a much quicker pace than right now. I've added 30 polishes in like an hour. There has to be a way!! Please fix this soon so I don't go crazy. Thank you in advance!!

### 1/5 — Won’t honor my previous purchase

*2020-01-20, version 2.0.8*

Paid for the biggest version for them to say it’s not good enough that they’re going to a monthly subscription! Garbage!! Wasted my $$ & still can’t use it!!! Never getting an app from these makers again!! Thieves!

### 1/5 — Already paid for premium

*2020-01-13, version 2.0.8*

I already paid for this “premium” app one time, now you want me to pay every month just to maintain my collection?! They call that the old “bait and switch”. 
I’ll choose a different app and you can refund my money instead. 
Not to mention my emails to the developer have never even garnered a response. Once they had my money, crickets. 
Besides, I’m tired of looking at Trump’s face from the latest hack. 

Look elsewhere folks, there are other cheaper options.

### 1/5 — Do Not Upgrade

*2018-10-15, version 2.0.5*

I upgraded and it's still asking me to upgrade everytime I try to add more than 20 polishes.

### 1/5 — Search feature keeps crashing

*2018-08-21, version 2.0.5*

Search feature keeps crashing

### 1/5 — In app purchase not syncing across devices

*2017-10-15, version 2.0.5*

I bought the unlimited version on my iPad and went to update my phone however my phone (logged out deleted app reinstalled) will not update to the unlimited version. I really want this app to work for me please help me fix this. Once corrected will give a better review. 

So far uploading three polishes I like how the app works very smooth - scan the code and it pulls all the data!  I’ve only had to manually add data to brand new collections that have recently come out.

### 1/5 — Could be useful if it worked well

*2017-03-23, version 2.0.4*

It doesn't recognize that I purchased the unlimited version so I have to keep "updating" it and get the message that I already purchased it and do I want to restore purchases. Every time. Then when I scan in the barcode and add it to my rack I can't go back to the home page, I have to quit out of the app, restore my purchases AGAIN, then scan one more barcode. Repeat as necessary. I want my $2.99 back. Entering info manually in a database is less frustrating!

### 1/5 — Iffy

*2017-03-07, version 2.0.4*

Update the update: Now my app won't recognize that I purchased the full version and I cannot enter any new polishes. Not liking it right now. 

Update: The back button is great. But since the update, my app keeps crashing.

### 2/5 — Cool idea but...

*2018-05-24, version 2.0.5*

I like the idea of the app but I will be in the middle of scanning a barcode, it freezes, then makes me sign in again. Also, I’ve already purchased the upgrade to unlimited but it says I need to purchase because I’ve met my (20) polish limit. Help!!!! I also found it to be a bit confusing to begin with.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2017-05-01, version 2.0.4*

I've had lots of people recommend this app saying how wonderful & perfect it is. I feel like they're looking at a different app! It's mediocre at best. The workflow is not fluid, there's no back button, it's in no way intuitive - clunky & lagging are the words I would use to describe this app. From what I've understood from those who have paid for the upgrade, there's no real change other than the number of polishes you can add. Very disappointed.

### 3/5 — Buena

*2024-09-27, version 2.0.20*

Me gusta, tiene buena base de datos y puedo agregar los que no encuentro, sencilla pero cumple su propósito.

### 5/5 — I’m glad there’s an iOS version.

*2025-12-29, version 2.0.20*

I emailed the developer when I was having difficulty accessing my old account with all my saved polishes. The developer does respond! Thank you. 
I like using this to keep track of when I’ve applied specific polish colors.

### 5/5 — Good tool but needs a back function

*2017-01-17, version 2.0.2*

Update 1-17-17

The most recent update added a back button! That small detail really makes such a huge difference while adding polishes. Thank you!!

Original Review:
I really like being able to add my polish and keep an accurate inventory including pictures. There are many, many polishes already in the database and you can add any that are missing fairly easily. I did upgrade to the unlimited account because 20 (or 100 for the "Pro" upgrade) isn't even close to enough for my collection. With that said, I'm only giving three stars at the moment due to the navigation in-app in its current state. When I search a brand/polish once I click an individual polish there is no way to go back. I have to go all the way back to the search menu and start over. With 1000+ polishes in my collection, it is making adding items to my "rack" very tedious. I would love to be able to select multiple polishes from a single brand at once or have a back button to bring me back to the search results to continue where I left off. This lack of back navigation function is consistent throughout the app. It is the same when you are looking at your rack, or browsing the polish database. As soon as you click an individual polish, you now have to return to a top menu item. If the developer can address this I would probably rate the app a 4 or 5.

### 4/5 — Login

*2020-07-23, version 2.0.8*

Please add the option for IPhones of seeing the polishes by collection

### 4/5 — Bought Elite but....

*2020-01-21, version 2.0.8*

I paid for the in-app upgrade to unlimited Elite and all was fine the first day I used it. Log in the next day to continue adding polishes and the app won’t let me add any until I purchase AGAIN!? Says I’ve reached my 20 bottle limit, even though I currently have 108 that I added yesterday! What gives? Please fix this or refund my purchase price. The app is useless to me like this. What a scam.

Additionally, I just realized that a bunch of entries I added yesterday, when the app WAS working for me, are not showing up in my rack. I added approx 175 +/- and now only 108 show up. Wasted work and a lot of my time for nothing.

Update 10-25-19: App did eventually work again for me...thank goodness...but today is my first time using after updating to the latest IOS and I can’t get past the log in page. Asks for my ID and password but won’t progress beyond the log in page. Sigh.

Updated 1-21-20:  App has been working like a champ for me...prior issues fixed!...and wanted to re-rate 👍🏻 accordingly and give credit where credit is due.  Love this app!

### 4/5 — Can be a little bit finicky.

*2019-12-01*

Had to upgrade to unlimited as I have a lot of polish. Searching is a bit clunky and it often just boots me out. There’s been a few times I searched for a polish and it wasn’t there at first but then it is. It isn’t easy to go back if you have fat thumb syndrome and end up hitting the wrong bit, you gotta start again. If you have a few hundred polishes to log, it can get annoying. 

You also have have to hit wish list first on a polish you already own but want back ups for. If you add to rack first, the option for wish list greys out. 

Other than those minor niggles, great app, can see at a glance whether I own a polish I’m looking at online/in store. I have the app open when I look online so I can add polishes to my wish list and note where I saw them. 

I also like the ability to add polishes that are definitely not on the database. It’s only 2.99 to upgrade and overall, I’m a happy little nail painter. Thanks! :)

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2019-11-05, version 2.0.8*

Love the app! I’m glad I came across it when I did....no more buying duplicates, I can check my Rack anywhere I go. 

Only downside I have found since the last update, is that I can no longer upload a picture of a nail polish once I’ve added it to a brand or the database if it’s not already on there.

### 4/5 — Great app for organizing your stash

*2019-05-20, version 2.0.5*

Would appreciate an easy sharing option for users and non users. Then I will upgrade

### 4/5 — Great app

*2019-05-20, version 2.0.5*

I’ve been waiting a long time for an app that can do all the things. This is a great tool for my huge collection. I would give it 5 stars if I could share or export my ‘rack’ so others can see what I have. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2018-08-02, version 2.0.5*

I love this app for organizing my polishes! Two things that would be great would be a way to view other lists, to make the swap and wish lists useful. I'd also like to be able to view my rack by last polish worn. But the app works great and I love all the features it does have.

### 4/5 — Good app!

*2017-10-21, version 2.0.5*

I really liked this app. My favorite part is the barcode scanning. This makes it quick and easy!  Though I had difficulty scanning the OPI bottles. Actually I don’t think any of them scanned. Thankfully I just had to search them and found them all.
