### 3/5 — App

*2018-12-08, version 1.3.2*

I love the Christmas versions but it’s time for a new one.

### 1/5 — Not working not scanning

*2018-10-25, version 1.3.2*

There doesn’t seem to be any support for this app, too bad.

### 5/5 — Loved it

*2018-09-15, version 1.3.2*

Used the app with the new USA Philatelic catalog and loved it. Really neat to see info on the stamps. If you like stamps then it is neat.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2018-09-03, version 1.3.2*

Too bad it doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Works for me

*2018-08-31, version 1.3.2*

Clever app to show short videos about stamps when used with the USA Philatelic catalog. Works fine for me on an iPhone 7.

### 3/5 — I got it to work!!

*2018-08-29, version 1.3.2*

But don’t ask me how. It isn’t the least bit intuitive. Somehow I manage to get the stars aligned just right. It was pretty cool, so if you’re having trouble, just keep trying!

### 1/5 — Five thumbs down

*2018-06-07, version 1.3.2*

This app does not work.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-06-07, version 1.3.2*

Waste of time. Better luck next time.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2018-06-06, version 1.3.2*

This is the best app I’ve ever downloaded that never works.  I wish more apps wouldn’t work like this.

### 1/5 — Waste of my time.

*2018-06-05, version 1.3.2*

Doesn’t work.
