### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-07-30*

This app is a god send . I inherited a stamp collection and have sat down time and time again to try and understand my stamps value, and condition, etc only to end up time after time more confused, aggravated and ready to just say forget it that is until this app . Thanks to this app I understand my stamp’s importance and value and have even sold a few. Easy to understand and takes out all the guess work. I’m so grateful I downloaded and tried it out i give it 5 out of 5 !!

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2026-07-24, version 1.4.1*

So far it’s doing a decent job. If the stamp has a cancellation mark it has trouble getting it right.

### 3/5 — Save as file

*2026-07-16, version 1.4.1*

There needs to be a way to save to a spreadsheet.

### 5/5 — Míguelo

*2026-07-14, version 1.4.1*

Stamps collection

### 2/5 — Has potential but could be better.

*2026-07-13, version 1.4.1*

No way to organize stamps that are in your collection which is the biggest let down. Stamp identifying  is not always accurate. Will scan the same stamp multiple times and get a different price value each time so cannot trust.

### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2026-07-12, version 1.4.1*

I can scan the same stamp 5 times and get a different information each time. Once it told me a stamp was worth $2,000,000-$3,000,000. I scanned it again and it was worth $1.50

### 3/5 — Terrific application!

*2026-07-07*

I feel guilty using it for free … it is telling me all about these foreign stamps my mom collected as a child 100 years ago. I’m getting them out of glassine envelopes into collector notebook pages. Very accurate with historical background and notes. Thanks! I may get the premium edition.

**Developer response:** Hi GregoryET, thank you so much for your kind words! It’s wonderful to hear that PhilSnap is helping you organize and learn about your mother's 100-year-old collection. If you ever need assistance or have questions while exploring the premium features, please reach out to us at support@philsnap.com.

### 3/5 — Limited but interesting

*2026-07-03*

This app has some interesting potential. You can scan a large number of stamps in a hurry and get a reasonable idea of what you own. For some reason in certain time periods or when the stamp is faded or obscured by a cancellation the app has a hard time making a positive identification. In my British collection, it has a really hard time telling the difference between Victoria and George V. The app has no reasonable mechanism for organizing a large collection. Countries are only searchable if they appear in the title assigned by the app. I have four separate collections and they can’t be catalogued separately. They just all get thrown into the same general soup. There also should be a way of modifying a search. For example, if the stamp is Queen Victoria, and the search comes up with George V, I should be able to type in “No, Victoria” and have it modify the search. This is evidently not too difficult to do since several apps that I have for other collectibles allow such modifications. Keep trying!

**Developer response:** Hi S ginger, thank you for sharing your feedback. To improve identification for faded or canceled stamps, please ensure they are well-lit and flat; taking photos from slightly different angles can also help. We hear your concerns regarding collection organization and are working on features to allow for separate catalogs and improved sorting. Your suggestion to modify searches is excellent and will be considered for future updates. Please reach out to us at support@philsnap.com so we can assist you further with your collection and other needs.

### 2/5 — PhilSnap review

*2026-07-01*

There are issues with identifying the stamps, I scanned one stamp 6 times and I got different descriptions each time. Many descriptions are incorrect. This does not give any way to sort the stamps in the collection. With that many inaccurate errors, I wonder how valid the value would be. The advertising shows an ability to sell but that is a misrepresentation of what the app actually does. I hope they improve this site.

**Developer response:** Hi BellC 2026, we're sorry to hear about your experience with identification and valuation. For the most accurate results, please ensure your stamp is well-lit, flat, and centered in the frame without shadows or glare. Our valuations are market-based estimates, but factors like condition and rarity can significantly impact the final value. We appreciate your feedback regarding sorting and selling features; these are excellent concepts we are considering for future updates. Please reach out to us at support@philsnap.com so we can assist you directly and improve your experience.

### 5/5 — Must have for philatelists

*2026-06-29, version 1.4.1*

A great tool to keep track of your collection, some great insight on single or bunched stamps.
