You pick the stamp you want to ID, then it takes you detial by detial until you aerive at the right scott #. At the end it sums it all up with print type, perf, color, watermark, secret mark, etc. Its amazing for distinguishing similar appearing stamps. Easy to use too! I cant imagine why anyone would rate this any lower than 5 stars! ### 1/5 — 80% of the time it’s wrong. *2025-06-06, version 5.0.2* This app stinks and I sunk $30 for something that doesn’t work. I want my money back. ### 1/5 — bad app *2025-03-06, version 5.0.2* notify apple to stop payment very disappointing ### 1/5 — Don’t Bother *2025-03-04, version 5.0.2* This app is useless. ### 2/5 — Nothing works in this app *2025-02-22* This is really an awful app It does not link correctly to the camera and so close up photos are difficult. The app makes it almost impossible to cancel the free subscription and basically says “ask apple” with a web address that is not hyperlinked I was so disappointed just having using what i thought was a similar app for coins which works great Do not purchase this program! ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-02-21* There aren’t many stamp identification apps. I tried the premium subscription on several stamps and it couldn’t identify any of them. The app is not easy to use and obviously limited in its abilities leaving the user experience seriously lacking. Because of its serious inability to even identify stamps it leaves ALL its other abilities a waste. The user has to take a picture, add verbiage, color, etc. etc. etc. which leaves me wondering the purpose of this app. If you force the user to do everything they’d already have to do anyway. Get the identification piece in order and then work from there. Otherwise it’s useless for a handy app. ### 1/5 — Very limited *2025-02-09* Not a fan ### 4/5 — Okey *2025-02-02* Needs an addition of measuring scale for gauge, length and perforations + + last auction value and current estimate value. To get a 7 stars 🌟, thank you, please keep the good work up. We need a tool that precisely value any stamp One error happens at times due to cancellation and I get erroneous results?! Please evaluate. ### 1/5 — The “scan” tool is useless… *2024-12-29, version 5.0.2* I just got this app. I’m 6 stamps into the thing trying to use the scanning tool, and it is yet to get one even close to correct. I just scanned a 1c Ben Franklin just to see, and it didn’t even get that right…?!?!? I’m pretty sure I paid for it as well…lame. ### 1/5 — Poorly made app *2024-09-18, version 5.0.2* Does not identify stamps with the photo feature accurately. Searching for specific stamp is very laborious and time consuming ## Frequently asked questions about Stamp ID Pro™ ### What does Stamp ID Pro do?
