### 5/5 — MUST HAVE for Insulator Collectors

*2021-07-10, version 1.0.4*

This is an excellent app, forum and catalogue system for any insulator collector. Additionally, it is the ONLY all-in-one application. 

The BEST part about this app is that the creator, David Baron, can change, add/remove, fix anything that comes up with the way the app functions. He is very responsive. With other forums like Facebook or catalogue software like Recollector, you can only change what they allow you to change. They won’t add anything to an update unless it makes them more money. With David, you have a fellow collector in charge who will listen to the wants/needs of the collecting community as it grows enabling him to make changes that truly tailor it to all insulator collectors.

### 5/5 — Excellent and easy to use App

*2021-03-29, version 1.0.2*

Inventive, detailed, and well-thought-out.  A great app for anyone who collects insulators!!
