Only suggestion would be a filter for the various collections for the items to be alphabetized or something.. ### 5/5 — BEST COLLECTING APP *2025-05-12, version 1.5.5* 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. ### 5/5 — THE BEST COLLECTOR APP *2025-04-19, version 1.5.2* I can’t believe after years of searching I’ve finally found the perfect collectors app. It’s easy to use, fun, and has helpful features such as background removal that really put it far and above any other app I’ve tried. I need more people to download this app because the social functions are awesome too! Please don’t ever change the app or add unnecessary charges or ads. I love this app so much I would mind paying a one time fee to use it if more features are added. ### 5/5 — Shelf *2024-08-03, version 1.3.4* Really useful app for everyone who wants to archive and categorize their collection. Nice and friendly user interface. Really good ### 5/5 — The best game collecting tool *2024-06-06, version 1.3.1* Arguably the best tool for managing my video game collection, finally a convenient and non-fugly app that I can use instead of a giant spreadsheet ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t make a collection *2026-04-22, version 1.8.1* Every time I make a collections gives me an error - makes the app useless ### 1/5 — Not much here *2026-03-23, version 1.7.4* The app is very basic and doesn’t offer much. Way better choices out there. ### 1/5 — Too many bugs *2025-12-09, version 1.7.2* 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. ### 2/5 — Such a cool app…but *2026-04-22, version 1.8.1* 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. ### 2/5 — Good in theory, needs improvement. *2026-03-28, version 1.8* 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. ### 3/5 — Good app *2025-12-26, version 1.7.3* 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. ### 4/5 — Just what I needed *2026-06-12, version 1.8.3* I’ve been wanting a reliable and straightforward app to digitally display my collection on and despite some minor things it’s great! ### 4/5 — I want to love it but… *2026-02-27, version 1.7.3* 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? 🥲 ### 4/5 — Great Collection app *2025-12-18, version 1.7.3* 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 ### 4/5 — dream app !! *2025-11-30, version 1.7.1* 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 ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please fix number sorting bug! *2026-06-16, version 1.8.3* 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!! ### 5/5 — Amazing app!!! *2026-05-25, version 1.8.3* Amazing app for collectors and very easy to use! ### 5/5 — clean ui ! *2026-02-24, version 1.7.3* 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. :) ### 5/5 — A few suggestions! *2026-02-21, version 1.7.3* 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! ### 5/5 — Great for any type of collectors *2026-01-28, version 1.7.3* We a good future in this app if managed correctly ### 5/5 — Friends *2025-11-18, version 1.7* Great app!! I can catalog all my niche toys!! I just wish I could share my catalogs with friends :( ### 5/5 — I like this app a lot... but *2025-10-13, version 1.6.3* 1. Is there anyway you could add the ability to not automatically have the backgrounds be transparent? I have to undo the transparent button everytime I add an item. 2. Is there anyway you could add buttons to sort the collections (like A-Z, newest to oldest, oldest to newest, etc)? 3. Is there anyway you could add filters (a search bar) on our profiles so we can search tags/categories to find our items easily? I really love this app, I just think there could be more features to make it better. ### 5/5 — Underrated *2025-08-07, version 1.6* Can’t believe this app isn’t used by more people. It has everything I could ever want for tracking my collection. I’m hopeful that this app will get better and better over time. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2025-07-31, version 1.6* Streamlined, easy to use and so customizable. It doesn’t matter what you want to collect. I’d have paid $10 easy but it’s free so far. Great app. I’m using it rather unconventionally to keep track of diffuser oils that I have used so I know which to purchase in future and what not to rebuy. ### 5/5 — Oh. My. God. *2025-07-14, version 1.6* I've never left a review on an app before but this is literally the perfect app for collectors, please keep updating I've been fixated on this for weeks. Some of the coolest features ever this has the potential to be the must-have for collectors. The one thing this app needs most is a more active community, so please show this to your friends! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
