Stamp ID Pro™: Collect Stamps

If youre trying to identify the nuances of the US stamps, this is fantastic! 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!

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.

What the app does, it does well. It’s easy to use but the catalog is far from complete. I want to be able to quickly identify the 13c U.S. stamps (for example) without having to flip through catalog pages...there aren’t any 13c stamps included. I’d be a buyer if the app included the entire US run of issues. I’d REALLY be a buyer if there was a version for German stamps.
