Unable to write review.

The characters limit of 240 works. But once we finish write. We cannot close the keyboard to reach the button « finish » underneath it. Some stamps inks color changes or stamps relocated (due to temporarily close / renovation operations ongoing) so it’s difficult to give update information to future users.

Stars due to be able to have a general idea of what to look. This does not include Goshuin which is a different type of stamps for shrine and temples.

No stamps show up

I don’t see any stamps on the app. I searched all of Japan map and it says no results with all filters cleared.

Response from developer

We are truly sorry to hear that you are unable to see any stamps after downloading the app. We unfortunately experienced an issue with a corrupted database over the past few days, but this has since been resolved. Could you please try to uninstall and then reinstall the app to see if the stamp locations and markers appear correctly? We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to report this to us.

A great companion

This app is invaluable in tracking down which places have stamps and where to find them. It has made my first trip to Japan so much more enjoyable (and it was already good!)

Response from developer

We are so happy to hear that our app has been an invaluable companion during your first trip to Japan.

定番しかない

今だったらアフター万博で押せるスタンプとかキャラクターショップなど自分は知ってるのに載ってない所が多い。知らないところもあるけど、ネットで調べた方が早いと思ってしまった。もっと最新のスタンプ情報が欲しい。

Response from developer

貴重なフィードバックをいただきまして誠にありがとうございます。 ご指摘いただいた通り、万博関連のスタンプやキャラクターショップなど、まだ掲載できていない場所が多々あることを認識しております。現状、私たちのデータベースには定番の駅スタンプや観光スポットを中心に収録しておりますが、今後はより最新の情報や多様なジャンルのスタンプを迅速に追加できるよう努めてまいります。 お客様にとって、インターネット検索よりも便利で頼りになるアプリへと成長させるため、情報の更新頻度と質の向上に尽力いたします。 貴重なご意見を共有してくださったことに深く感謝申し上げます。

Suggestion/expansion

Hello,
I love this app! I have been collecting stamps in America and Europe and upon moving to Japan have continued, and there’s way more here! I noticed the developers respond to a bunch of messages so I wanted to see if the app could be expanded to the entire world and people could add the stamps they find themselves. If this already exists please let me know, but I personally could add 1000s of stamps from my journeys and I would love to see it expanded as such. Mabey just a website or something too but I just thought why limit it to japan. I hope you see this and again I love the app!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your enthusiasm for stamp collecting across America, Europe, and Japan. It is wonderful to hear that you have been enjoying the app. Currently, Stamp Quest focuses on providing the best experience for locating stamps across Japan. However, we are excited to share that expanding to other countries is officially on our roadmap for this year. While we grow, we would love for you to contribute your expertise. You can use the "Submit a New Stamp" feature within the app to help us improve our data. Once we expand to more countries, we invite you to submit the thousands of stamps you have discovered to help other travelers on their quest. Thank you once more for your kind assistance.

Great app

We downloaded this app to help us with finding stamps on our trip to Japan and it was very helpful! The description section of where it states the precise location of each stamp made it super easy to find the stamps. We managed to collect 42 stamps during our 3 weeks journey and the hunt for the stamps also made the commutes around just that extra fun!

Response from developer

We are thrilled that Stamp Quest was a helpful and fun companion during your three-week trip to Japan. It's great to know that the precise location details in the description section made it easy for you to find the stamps and that you successfully collected 42 of them. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Très bien.

Application parfaite.
Les lieux sont correctement indiqué, avec une photo à chaque fois.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you find the Stamp Quest application perfect and that the locations and photos are helpful for your stamp-collecting adventures. We work hard to ensure we accurately display the stamp locations and provide high-quality information for every traveler.

Ruined by the latest update

This app used to be perfect - quick, easy to use, helpful for locating Eki stamps. Now the latest update has ruined it. Most features barely work at all. Search is broken, the map doesn’t show anything at all, and stamp details usually don’t load. Login is now required, and there’s a hint of future subscription plans. Such a shame.

Response from developer

Thank you for your honest review and for taking the time to share your feedback regarding our latest app update. We are truly sorry to hear that the new version has negatively impacted your experience, and we apologize for the frustration caused by the broken features. We understand that you are experiencing issues with the map not displaying anything. This is certainly not the seamless experience we aim for. As a first step, could you try completely removing and reinstalling the app? This often resolves unexpected loading issues. If the map issue still persists after reinstallation, please reach out to us directly at https://www.thestampquest.com/product-help so our team can investigate this issue more thoroughly for you. Regarding your observations on the new features: Login Requirement: We introduced the required login in this version to support new personalization features, such as the Visit History and Custom Lists, which allow you to track and manage your stamp-collecting adventures more effectively. Subscription Plans: You are correct that we have introduced a premium subscription called Stamp Quest+. This subscription offers optional premium features like offline map access, personalized collection analysis, and proximity alerts near stamp locations. The core features you enjoyed, such as access to all stamp locations, the map, search, filter, and personal collection tracking, remain available in the free version. You can find more details about Stamp Quest+ and its features at https://www.thestampquest.com/stampquestplus. Thank you once again for your honest feedback.

Disappointing

The potential is there, however the app lacks a lot to become a usable and useful tool. A lot of stamps are missing, and I’m not even talking about small niche places; the app doesn’t have stamps from important tourist locations. A nightmare to navigate. You can’t type in location on the map, it directly jumps to the list of stamps. In most of the cases the search in romaji doesn’t work at all, so you need to scroll through tens or hundreds of stamps each time to hopefully find yours. Would be great if there was a search by image.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback, comments, and suggestions. We sincerely apologize that your experience with the app has been disappointing and that you've found it difficult to navigate. Regarding the missing stamps, please know that we are continuously working to add more stamp locations and categories to our app. We appreciate all your ideas, including the suggestion for a search by image. We will work on making our app have a better and more useful user experience.

Nothing even displays

Just a empty map

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for letting us know that you're only seeing an empty map and nothing is displaying on your screen. I sincerely apologize for this ongoing frustration, we need to get this fixed so you can use the app! An empty map often indicates that the app is having trouble loading the stamp data from our backend server, which can happen if the initial connection is being blocked or interrupted.Troubleshooting Steps for Empty Map 1. Try a Different Network: Switch from Wi-Fi to cellular data (or vice versa) to see if your current internet connection or network security is blocking the app's data transfer. 2. Force-Close and Relaunch: Completely close the Stamp Quest app (swipe it away from your recent apps list) and re-open it. 3. Ensure VPN is Off: If you are using a VPN, temporarily turn it off, as it can sometimes interfere with location and data services. 4. Clear App Cache (Android Only): If you are on Android, go to your phone's Settings → Apps → Stamp Quest → Storage and try clearing the Cache. If you follow these steps and still have difficulty loading map, please feel free to reach out to us again here: [link: https://www.thestampquest.com/product-help]

Connexion par email impossible

Je ne veux pas utiliser la connexion Apple ou Google. Je ne reçois jamais le mail de connexion... en plus pourquoi ne pas laisser un minimum d'accès avant même de nécessiter une connexion/compte.

Response from developer

Hello, We are very sorry to hear you're still having trouble receiving the email login link and that you prefer not to use the Apple or Google sign-in options. I understand the frustration with not being able to access the app right away. Regarding your question about needing a login: we require a quick sign-up because the core of the app involves saving your personal collection progress, wish lists, and custom lists, all of which need to be tied to a secure user account for syncing across devices and data persistence. The free version does include full access to all stamp locations and maps even with the personal collection tracking. For the technical issue with the email: the problem is often related to a browser setting or cache interference that prevents the link from successfully redirecting you back into the app. Please try following the dedicated troubleshooting steps on our FAQ page to resolve the issue with the email login process: [link: https://www.thestampquest.com/faq] If you follow these steps and still have difficulty logging in, please feel free to reach out to us again here: [link: https://www.thestampquest.com/product-help] We want to make sure you get logged in and can start your stamp quest!

Good, but could be better

I love stamp collecting! This app is great for seeing what stamps a station has. Unfortunately, some of the stamp location information is outdated, and some stamps are only available for a limited time, and its hard to know which ones are and aren’t

I think having a comments section on the stamps could be really helpful. Its much quicker and easier compared to the suggest an edit forum.

If there were also actual photos of where the stamp was located in the station, that would help immensely, or if users could submit photos that were approved by an admin, I think that could be really helpful.

Response from developer

Thank you for your valuable feedback! We're delighted to hear that you love using our app for your stamp collecting passion. We completely understand your frustration regarding outdated or temporary stamp information. We are always working to keep our database as accurate as possible. Your ideas about adding a comments section and allowing users to submit actual photos of the stamp location (like where it's situated in the station) are absolutely fantastic suggestions! It would be much quicker than the 'Suggest Edit' feature and immensely helpful for all travelers. We are actively planning our next updates and will certainly look to implement features like a user-contributed photo gallery and a public feedback/comment system to help keep stamp details up-to-date for everyone. Thank you again for helping us make Stamp Quest better!

Can not add found stamps

It would be better if we had the ability to add stamps that we have found, that are not currently on the map.

Helpful app

I’ve been using this app and it’s been helpful to know who/where has stamps. I’d love an option to be able to describe where the stamp actually is in a place because it can be a challenge to find them, especially in really large stations or parks.

Response from developer

Thank you! We added a "Where to Find the Stamp" section on the stamp detail screen in the recent update to help you find stamps more easily. We hope it makes your hunt smoother and more enjoyable!

Really usefull but i have a suggestion :)

Perfect for the stamp quest, but that will be perfect if we can mark a stamp as already done, that will be usefull when we come back in japan to know which is missing :)
But great app !

Response from developer

Thank you! In the latest update on May 24th, 2025, we added a way to mark stamps as collected. Just tap the “+” on the stamp detail screen. Hope this helps you on your next trip to Japan!

Eki stamp cool !

Bonne application, avec les images de chaque stamp. Attention ce ne sont que des stamp de gare.
Pratique: on peux avoir le trajet directement depuis Google maps !

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup! Yes, for now it's mostly train station stamps, but we've expanded the collection with castles, parks, and more in the May 24th update. Have a good trip and happy stamp hunting!

Great app, but could use some improvements

Really love that someone has done this, however could we include an option to tick off the stamp on the map so it disappears afterwards?

Additionally, would be great to have the stations grouped into their lines etc. so you could tick off the line stations (Yamanote line 30 stations etc)

Would be a great way to Hunt through Japan!
