### 2/5 — Limited

*2026-08-12*

I downloaded the free version to try it to see if I would like it.  It identified the first stamp but then wouldn’t capture any others in the standard option.  Kept popping up needed to upgrade every few seconds.  I might have been doing something wrong.  The first stamp worked great, only I would like it reference the Scott Identifying number.  But I do not want to purchase the premium version until I can ensure it will work the way I need it to.  Can’t tell with it only letting me do one stamp then requiring me to upgrade…

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2026-07-29*

В чем смысл данного приложения если оно не работает ?

### 5/5 — Stamp collecting

*2026-07-09, version 2.3.1*

Excellent app and works so well

### 1/5 — My Bad

*2026-06-29, version 2.3.0*

Should have done a trial period.  Scans quickly, but you still have to select the correct stamp from a lineup of similar stamps. I need a stamp identifier, not a guesser where I still have to guess and hope I have the correct one. Stamps need to be cropped which negates ability to determine perforations. Not happy with purchase.

### 5/5 — Derrick lindsey

*2026-06-19, version 2.3.0*

This seem like a cool app I guess

### 4/5 — Avis

*2026-06-14*

Très sympa, mais pour moi il manquerait l’évaluation, il faudrait donner sa cote…

### 2/5 — Too expensive

*2026-04-29, version 2.3.0*

£70 annual subscription is too much.

### 3/5 — Hmm

*2026-04-23, version 2.3.0*

Paid over £60 for Pro version annual subscription, No clear instructions how to setup and loads of ads, then had to pay a further fee to go ad free! Sounds great but  feels like a money pit

### 5/5 — Accuracy

*2026-04-05*

Accurately detects and identify stamps, even in less than perfect condition. The AI generator helps the app to detect the stamp even if faded or moderately heavily canceled. Provides essential info and identifiers. Does not provide valuations. I find the app to be accurate and reliable without any sensationalism. Easy to use. Can recommend. Five stars.

### 5/5 — Fast perfekt

*2026-03-30*

Ich nutze die App inzwischen sehr regelmäßig und bin insgesamt wirklich beeindruckt. Die Erkennung der Briefmarken funktioniert in den meisten Fällen nahezu fehlerfrei. Besonders bei älteren Marken mit kräftigen, großflächigen Stempelabschlägen stößt die automatische Erkennung zwar gelegentlich an ihre Grenzen, aber selbst dann werden hilfreiche Alternativvorschläge angezeigt, die meist schnell zum Ziel führen.

Wünschenswert fände ich eine Funktion, mit der man die App künftig auch als persönliche, individuell sortierbare Datenbank nutzen kann – etwa um eigene Sammlungen systematisch zu erfassen, zu katalogisieren und zu verwalten. Das wäre ein großartiges zusätzliches Feature, das den praktischen Nutzen noch einmal deutlich steigern würde.

Trotz kleinerer Schwächen überzeugt mich die App schon jetzt so sehr, dass ich vermutlich das Abo abschließen werde.

**Developer response:** Many thanks for rating us 5 stars :)
