It’s always wise to prepare for the worst-case scenarios. This app allows you to record all the necessary information for your firearm collection. Offers the ability to categorize items into handguns, rifles, shotguns, and accessories (for scopes, suppressors, etc). Has filtering capabilities and allows taking photos or importing existing pictures. Has a Notes field for recording distinguishing features. Allows export as pdf for reports and as a csv for backup/spreadsheet use. The csv file can be imported as well; it is recommended to save a copy on your computer or in a cloud account for safekeeping. While it allows photos to be taken directly into the app, it is advisable to keep a photo album of your firearms as well. The csv backup file DOES NOT include the photos, for file-size reasons. Happy collecting!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Gun at 4.0 against HOGSCAN's 3.1. Gun also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). HOGSCAN's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and chart position (#71 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
