Amazing app but please fix bugs🙏

I was looking for an app to keep track of my childhood toys collections and i accidentally found this app. It’s so aesthetically pleasing and easy to use, in other words perfect ❤️ But while making my first collection i’ve encountered some issues that really ruin my experience and i really wish for them to be fixed. So: 1) When editing your collection if you add any attributes and later you want to change them (delete/edit names/add new ones) they are not showing in collection editor no more so that means you either have to add them again (and if you do so the previous ones will be removed) or just accept it…i had to redo my toys descriptions from scratch because i wanted to add new attributes and all of the previous ones were removed 💔 2) i have no idea why this keeps happening to me but when i make a full description of my toy with attributes - after some time these attributes become blank again and disappear from toys descriptions. It happens from time to time and even if i add them again they are still disappearing after some time. They are co convenient but it’s impossible for me to use this feature and i have to add all of the toy attributes into description because this is the only thing that stays. + A suggestion - 1) add tag search by your collection only, i don’t really need the global one but i wish i could search toys with the same tags and attributes in my collections. 2) I wish i could select all of my items and transfer them between collections at once, like organising pins on pinterest. Though if you fix all of the bugs that i’ve mentioned i literally would stick to your app forever and support it🙏🙏 Thank your for your job i love you 🫶

BEST COLLECTING APP

UPDATE 08/2026
Please keep up the great work! The developers are extremely responsive and kind. The app is convenient and fun to use, and most importantly, the functionality of cataloging your items works amazingly well. The automatic deletion of the background of images makes the images stand out and organizes them neatly into different sections you can create. I’m looking forward to future updates with features I wish to see. Definitely the best collecting app I’ve used and I’ve used many, with a few more features this will be literally the PERFECT collecting application.

I really like this app, but…

I use it to keep track of my 1000+ sticker collection. It recently crashed on my phone. I’d love to have the option for my collection to be downloaded as a PDF list (even if it’s not photos included) so I still have the list as a back up if this happens. It’s an easy app to use and I use it almost daily. That’s my only suggestion.

Great

Extremely easy to use and useful! I’ve been looking for an app like this for a while

Please fix number sorting bug!

I am enjoying this app very much! But unfortunately alphabetical sorting for item entries does not go past the first digit. For example, my collections have ID numbers and I’d love to be able to view them in numerical order, but since the sorting only tracks the first digit, it breaks the logic on any number over 9 (37 sorts after 136 because it only sorts the first number, so 3 goes after 1)! Would be eternally grateful if this was updated!!

Just what I needed

I’ve been wanting a reliable and straightforward app to digitally display my collection on and despite some minor things it’s great!

Amazing app!!!

Amazing app for collectors and very easy to use!

Such a cool app…but

I was so excited to try this app out!! I have alot of collections and want to be able to organize them. But unfortunately I can’t make collections it just pops up a message about a stream error??? and whenever I had tags the app just freezes and stops working.

Can’t make a collection

Every time I make a collections gives me an error - makes the app useless

Good in theory, needs improvement.

Very slow usually and occasionally just straight up doesn't load. Right now I can only see one item out of the over 200 that I've uploaded, nothing is loading in any collection of mine. There is also no website or anything, so no way to share your items with someone who doesn't have the app.

Not much here

The app is very basic and doesn’t offer much. Way better choices out there.

I want to love it but…

This app has almost everything I’m looking for, but the photo part is so aggravating. I don’t particularly care if the background is edited out but the app won’t accept pics that it can’t remove the background from. Similarly, editing a photo (to crop it, specifically) is impossible. The app just freezes and crashes. If I can’t take a decent picture and upload it to the item, what’s the point? 🥲

clean ui !

was looking for something to track my gundam collection, and i really wasn’t having much luck with specialized apps like the people who collect cards or comics get, but i did find this gem of an app ! i really appreciate how clean it is, and how you can add pictures as well as price and collections. :)

A few suggestions!

I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE THIS APP! I use it to keep track of my physical media like CDs, DVDs, and vinyl. This app is so so so useful BUT I do have a few suggestions to make it even better :)

1. A BARCODE SCANNER. This would be so useful so I can just scan the barcode on the backs of my CDs to automatically have all the information there, I think it would improve the app greatly ^^

2. I think a really good feature to add would be a wishlist, like you add items normally but it goes into a wishlist section🥹

I know it’s only two things, sorry😢 Looking forward to what this app adds next, I love it sm. Keep it up, devs!

Great for any type of collectors

We a good future in this app if managed correctly

Good app

This app is pretty good, there are a couple things that could make it better but the one that sticks is the search functionality, I can’t search my own collections based on key words tags etc, which can make looking thru large collections hard.

Great Collection app

Has been great so far and I love the lay out of it and how it makes my collection look but I wish I could better organize the attributes on my items like sort them and or compare them to my other items

Too many bugs

The app freezes whenever I try to add an item description or attribute. It also doesn’t let you edit the item picture: either it automatically removes the background (and half your item with it) or it adds a big white background to it, which makes it ugly in the catalog.

dream app !!

i was JUST thinking.. "huh i wish there was an app where i could just take pictures of my collections and organize it all myself" i give the app store a search and HERE WE ARE ! JUST WHAT I NEED ' only 4 stars though because it's a bit slower than i'd like. but overall i love it and would recommend if you are a collector of collections !
