Great and interesting App

A must for all Collectors and Dealers. Easy to use out and about. Fantastic

Response from developer

Thank you very much for this, and for the five stars. Being usable out and about, with a piece in one hand and a phone in the other, is exactly what we were aiming for, so it is lovely to hear it works that way for you. We really appreciate you taking a moment to say so.

still a Waste of time

Just search on google, this developer wants a £4.99 monthly subscription before you can look at anything except the letter A.

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest review, and we are sorry. Asking for money before you can see past the letter A is a fair thing to object to, and enough people have made the same point that we cannot treat it as a one off. The app has since been rebuilt from the ground up. Thank you for taking the time to tell us.

Great app love the setup

Great app love the setup

Response from developer

Thank you very much for the five stars, and for taking a moment to say so. A great deal of thought went into the layout, so hearing that the setup works for you is genuinely the nicest thing you could have told us. Happy hunting.

Not as expected

When I purchased this I was expecting to be able look up date of manufacture pertaining to a “date letter”. Sadly all you can look up is the manufacturer. Very disappointing

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest feedback, and we are sorry the app did not do what you bought it for. You were entirely right to expect date letters from a hallmark app. We are glad to say it has since been completely rebuilt, and it now includes a date-letter decoder that works in both directions: choose an assay office and a year to see the letter and its font, or type a letter and see every year and office it could belong to, across London, Birmingham, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Chester, Glasgow and Dublin. Thank you for telling us plainly what was missing; it is the reason it is there.

Tweaks

I used this app, then had to cancel last year because of a hiccup - I was paying the subscription, but all of a sudden I didn’t have full access. Fast forward, thought I would give it another go. I absolutely love this app. One of the best resources without having to search multiple websites. Does it have quirks, maybe - but I love using this as a reference. Keep doing what you are doing!

Response from developer

Thank you for coming back to the app after that, and for the very kind words. Losing full access while you were still paying for it should never have happened, and we are sorry it drove you away for a year. If it ever happens again, open More and tap Restore Purchases, and if that does not fix it write to us at SilverMarksApp.com and we will sort it out personally. We are genuinely grateful you gave it a second chance.

Please cancel my subscription

I was not told there was a charge till after I downloaded /.please notify me of the cancellation ASAP

Response from developer

Thank you for writing, and we are sorry the charge was not clear before you downloaded. Subscriptions are managed by Apple rather than by us, so the quickest way to cancel is on your device: open Settings, tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions, and cancel from there. For a refund, Apple handles those at reportaproblem.apple.com. If anything is still wrong afterwards, please write to us at SilverMarksApp.com and we will help. Thank you for your patience.

I paid but wouldnt let me in

I paid but would not let me get any further than A1. Great. Useless

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting this, and we are sorry. Paying and then still being locked to the letter A is the worst possible outcome and entirely our fault. Open More and tap Restore Purchases, which brings back a previous unlock; if that does not release it, please write to us at SilverMarksApp.com and we will fix your account directly. Thank you for taking the time to tell us.

No year marks!

Need to add assay office and year marks.

Response from developer

Thank you for saying what was missing, and you were completely right to expect it. We are glad to say the app has since been rebuilt and now includes a date-letter decoder that works in both directions, along with assay office coverage for London, Birmingham, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Chester, Glasgow and Dublin: pick an office and a year to see the letter and its font, or type a letter and see every year and office it could belong to. Your review is a large part of why it is there. Thank you.

Useless

Useless no good

Response from developer

Thank you for the review, and we are sorry the app was not useful to you. If you have a moment, we would genuinely like to know what you were trying to look up when it let you down, because that is the only way we can fix it. SilverMarksApp.com reaches us directly. The app has since been completely rebuilt, so it may well be worth another look. Either way, thank you for taking the time.

Liar and a cheat

Back in 2022 I purchased the full unlock for this app, allowing me to view all of the marks without restriction. According to my in-app purchase history “full unlock” was purchased March 24, 2022 for $4.99. I don’t use this app often, but it has been helpful every once in a while. I logged in today, and when I try to search for a mark, the app now tries to charge me for a SUBSCRIPTION FEE to unlock what I ALREADY PAID FOR. There is an option to restore purchase. This does nothing. Their button to contact support does not work as well. Whoever made this app is a liar and a cheat. If you are doing this, please refund the full unlock I previously paid for, because I obviously do not have a “full unlock” at all.

Response from developer

Thank you for laying this out so precisely, with the date and the price, and we are sorry. Buying a full unlock and later finding it gone is indefensible, and you were right to be angry about it. Please open More and tap Restore Purchases, which is built to bring back exactly that kind of previous unlock. If it does not restore, write to us at SilverMarksApp.com with the purchase date you quoted here and we will put it right rather than ask you to pay twice. Thank you for giving us the chance to fix it.

I’ve lost my subscription

update you have taken my subscription away from me for the second time I paid back AU$7.99 in 2018 when this app first came out please fix

why should I pay again!!!

already paid for app some time ago and suddenly it vanished and I couldn't access it any more. Pleased to see it back but surprised I am being asked to contribute again!! Seemingly impossible to discuss my situation by email or any other means.

Response from developer

Thank you for persisting, and we are sorry twice over: once for asking you to pay for something you had already bought, and once for making it hard to reach us. Both are our fault. Please open More and tap Restore Purchases, which brings back a previous unlock, and if that does not work write to us at SilverMarksApp.com, which is read properly now. We are grateful you were pleased to see the app back, and sorry it greeted you like that.

My go to app for jewelry research

This app has so many marker’s marks. I buy a lot of jewelry and this app has been very helpful in saving me time I don’t have to research on the internet as much.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for this. Saving you the internet rabbit hole when you are trying to price a piece is precisely the job we wanted the app to do, so hearing that it does is the best feedback we could get. We are very grateful you took the time to write it.

Poor

This app is a joke

Not a great search engine

Not user friendly needs work

It is not user friendly

It is not user friendly

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest feedback, and we are sorry the app was hard to get on with. That is a fair criticism and we would rather hear it than not. It has since been completely rebuilt, with search by maker, a date-letter decoder and photo matching all reachable from the first screen, so it is worth another look if you are willing. If it still gets in your way, please tell us at SilverMarksApp.com. Thank you.

Full unlock in app purchase not available

This app says that it’s possible to fully unlock the app with a single purchase but the functionality doesn’t work.

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting this, and we are sorry. Advertising a single purchase that then refuses to complete is a genuine failure and you were right to flag it. If the purchase did go through, open More and tap Restore Purchases to bring it back. If it never completed, please write to us at SilverMarksApp.com and we will look at what happened. We appreciate you taking the time to be specific about it.
