PhilSnap: Stamp ID & Values

Unbelievably accurate with the stamps that I tested it on. I already knew the information, in detail, and the app was dead on! plus the additional info about year(s) produced, history, variations and other details was extremely helpful. I really thought this app was click bait and would be ridiculous…… I was wrong! Well worth the money!!! Thank you!

This app is a god send . I inherited a stamp collection and have sat down time and time again to try and understand my stamps value, and condition, etc only to end up time after time more confused, aggravated and ready to just say forget it that is until this app . Thanks to this app I understand my stamp’s importance and value and have even sold a few. Easy to understand and takes out all the guess work. I’m so grateful I downloaded and tried it out i give it 5 out of 5 !!

This app has some interesting potential. You can scan a large number of stamps in a hurry and get a reasonable idea of what you own. For some reason in certain time periods or when the stamp is faded or obscured by a cancellation the app has a hard time making a positive identification. In my British collection, it has a really hard time telling the difference between Victoria and George V. The app has no reasonable mechanism for organizing a large collection. Countries are only searchable if they appear in the title assigned by the app. I have four separate collections and they can’t be catalogued separately. They just all get thrown into the same general soup. There also should be a way of modifying a search. For example, if the stamp is Queen Victoria, and the search comes up with George V, I should be able to type in “No, Victoria” and have it modify the search. This is evidently not too difficult to do since several apps that I have for other collectibles allow such modifications. Keep trying!
