- Third party library fixes - Fixes a security-related bug

Recurring themes

Pricing & Paywalls negative
Many users are frustrated by the app's pricing model, which is described as expensive, confusing, and misleading. There's a low item limit (15-30) in the free version, and various 'unlimited' or 'Pro' subscriptions and one-time purchases are offered, often with additional costs for features or cross-device access, leading to a feeling of being 'fleeced' or 'ripped off'.R2R4R7R8
Performance & Stability negative
Many users report the app being glitchy, slow, freezing, or crashing, especially after updates or with larger collections. Some experience their collections disappearing or failing to load, making the app unusable for its intended purpose. This directly contradicts the developer's general 'fixes' in the latest update notes.R7R17R18R24
Barcode Scanning mixed
While many users praise the ease and efficiency of barcode scanning for adding items, a significant number report issues with it not working, being unreliable, or failing to pull up correct information.R1R3R6R9
Customer Support negative
Initially, some users reported quick and helpful developer responses. However, recent reviews indicate a decline in support, with users experiencing unresponsiveness, ghosting, or a complete lack of resolution for critical issues like lost collections.R11R14R48R94
AI Features & Interface negative
Recent updates have introduced new AI features that some users find unhelpful, forcing extra clicks, or even requiring additional payment to disable. There are also complaints about a 'dumbed down' or clunky interface.R3R29R35R39
Collection Value Estimates negative
Several users note that the app's estimated values for collections are often inaccurate or 'WAY off market value,' making this feature unreliable.R4R25R56R88

Who it's for

This app is for avid collectors with diverse collections who need a highly customizable tool for cataloging and tracking items, provided they are willing to navigate a complex pricing structure and potentially pay a significant amount for full functionality R28. It is not for users seeking a truly free app, those with very large collections on older devices, or those who expect reliable customer support and consistent performance R4R17R24R94.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew significantly negative, with a recent-negative signal of 0.461, contrasting sharply with the lifetime rating of 4.64. This indicates a declining user experience, particularly concerning pricing, performance, and support. The developer's release notes are too vague to address the specific performance and feature issues reported.

  1. [R1] 5/5 · US Great for organizing my action figure collection: I love the ease of the barcode scanning system as well the built value estimates provided by the app. I’m really excited to get a handle on my collection and this app checks all the boxes.
  2. [R5] 5/5 · US I collect seems to work very well: First time user and so far it seems to work well. Easy to catalog open items. Easy to add to a list.
  3. [R11] 5/5 · US Exceptional: My husband has an extensive book collection, built over 50+ years. This app is making it easy to catalogue/rate/track his books. We had a few little glitches in the beginning but the response from the developers was quick, concise and clear, enabling us to quickly get back on track. Thanks for developing such a useful tool!
  4. [R12] 5/5 · US Collectors Dream: I just started with ICollect and it is fantastic. I have over 3,500 DVD’s and this app is great for storing and keeping track of of my collection. Next is my CD collection and this app is so easy to use it is a collectors dream come true.
  5. [R9] 5/5 · US Excellent to book keep: I got the app because I was ordering movies I already had. iCollect makes me keep an inventory of my movies and books. Their scan functionality is a great feature which allows me to scan multiple items in one streak! Love the app. Highly recommended if you have a large collection :)
  6. [R30] 5/5 · US Exactly what I wanted - almost: iCollect is exactly what I needed to catalog my anime/video collection, the bulk scan feature made adding my collection much simpler, and quicker. My only suggestions are: 1) I wish it stored the database on my iCloud account instead of the iCollect servers. 2) it would be nice to be able to duplicate the default collections - I would like to be able to duplicate
  7. [R19] 5/5 · US Fantastic app: This app has been so helpful. It is definitely worth the money. It lets you add so much info!!
  8. [R28] 5/5 · US Great app: Very easy to use. I can tailor things to the way I want to see them. And it can keep an inventory on pretty much everything. It has a lot of preset categories from books and movies to action figures (I use for Funko) to sports cards. If you find something not listed you can create your own category.
  9. [R33] 5/5 · US Life Saver: This app saved with my growing book collection. Now I can store everything easily including multiple photos. The tools they have are great and they are always updating with bug fixes and new features. Highly recommend for ANY collector
  10. [R2] 1/5 · US Bait n switch: I have a very extensive collection of die cast , action figures . Sports card , Pokémon cards etc. so I decided to try this app right off the bat you have to pick your subscription level.. I chose lifetime since it was for everything 99$. Then comes the upgrade to pro to unlock all the special features .. another 99$ I passed on that one n glad I did. On the action figures it was s
  11. [R4] 1/5 · US Mehhh: I was looking for an app to keep track of my Black Series figures and Funko pop collection and this app was in all of my google searches labeled as FREE. Which it is NOT. you only get 15 scans until you have to buy a membership or upgrade. The price isn’t even reasonable. The cheap option is like $30. I’m sorry, I’m not paying $30 for something I can do in my Notes app. The pricing o
  12. [R7] 3/5 · US I like the format and functions but expensive and glitchy: I like the format and functions which is why I pay for it, however for an expensive paid app, it has been way too glitchy, many times not accessible when I need it, won’t load my inventory without any notification of an update or whatever. I expect better from something that costs this much.
  13. [R13] 3/5 · US LIMITED: not a bad app overall but unfortunately it’s not really free. It only gives you about 30 scans before it makes you pay for “unlimited access” and of course the subscriptions range from $40 to $100.
  14. [R8] 1/5 · US 30 Movie Limit: It needs to be made abundantly clear that you cannot add more than 30 movies to a collection. I would not have downloaded this app had I known that. After 30 movies, you have to pay to add any more items. I personally think a 30 item limit for a collection app called "I Collect Everything" is absurd.
  15. [R50] 3/5 · US Good but… not actually free: Looks like a free app, has really good customization- but you can only do up to 15 of an item before you have to pay :(
  16. [R17] 1/5 · US App unusably slow to load if you add “too many” items, like 1000: …So in other words, it’s not fit for purpose. Developer claims 1400 movies is too many for their app to handle on older hardware, ~10 second delay is to be expected. Save your money.
  17. [R18] 2/5 · US New update broke app: My app continuously loads and never finishes since most recent update
  18. [R24] 1/5 · US Unusable: Not sure what happened to this app. I used it years ago with decent success for a puzzle collection. I've now tried to use it again for a massive game collection only to find it completely unusable. The app is almost completely unresponsive. Tapping app buttons, even multiple times, often does nothing at all. *If* I can get a dialog open (to add a new game, for example) it always result
  19. [R14] 1/5 · US ZERO Customer Service: They take your money, then upgrade in a year and your old version is no good. And half your collection just disappears without earning or explanation. If you are smart enough to export a backup, great, but it can only be added by them and they never respond.
  20. [R106] 3/5 · US Used to be great: I have the paid version. In the beginning, all was great. Support was responsive and things worked, and worked well. Now, I have constant loading issues, my collections disappear or won’t load for several days at a time, I can’t switch between collections without freezing and crashing, and support does not respond. If you’re looking for a good collection app, it may be best to lo
  21. [R111] 3/5 · US Best, when it works: Strong app that makes inventory easy. Rich media support. The issue is it’s all server based and when their servers are down, you can’t use the app whatsoever. I fear that with all this time and effort I’ve put into catalog in my collections if their servers go down permanently, it’s all for not Tech-support used to be very responsive, but the last couple times I’ve had issue
  22. [R161] 3/5 · US Very good app. Terrible support.: This app is pretty great. I love that I was able to buy it as a one time purchase but they still regularly show me an upgrade offer that is a subscription. I do not want a subscription. But I docked 2 stars because I sent an email for support and they never responded. Honestly it is so frustrating when a company doesn’t support their product.
  23. [R3] 1/5 · US Ok if you have 5 minutes per car to manually enter every car: It draws you in with promises of fast scans and bulk scan capabilities but that just not accurate. You have to pay for AI scans. The bulk feature doesn’t work at all. It states it will give you options since the UPC code is case specific, not car specific so it will give you the cars in that case to choose from. It only did that one
  24. [R6] 1/5 · US Doesn't read bar code: Having trouble with bar code reader
  25. [R45] 2/5 · US Expensive and misleading: What a ripoff! The basic access is lame: can’t create different sort or filters so you just get one giant list by player name (baseball cards). So I get an offer for “unlimited” for $50, which I took to mean unlimited access. Nope. Still can’t sort AND can’t access to set up sorts on my PC as that’s ANOTHER $80 PER YEAR. I want my money back. Also, scan feature is very
  26. [R57] 2/5 · US Data base and scan features: Not able to scan covers and bar code scanner doesn’t work at all. No existence of data base to help collectors. Other Apps are able to scan the covers or bar code and instantly bring up the comic information.
  27. [R25] 1/5 · US No realistic values: Great app to catalog your collection. But the values of your collection are WAY off market value. Don’t trust this app for prices!!
  28. [R56] 5/5 · US Collector: It’s a great app don’t know how they get some of their prices others are spot on needs a bigger database on sport cards but with what I paid it’s a good application for keeping track of what you have
  29. [R88] 1/5 · US Use to be good: The app use to be great for finding the value of your movies. The last month they must have changed something cause it’s better to find other apps to find the value.
  30. [R39] 1/5 · US Latest update is terrible: I want the old interface for iOS back. This is a much more dumbed down interface that you would see in a browser running on an iPhone. How do you export collection? I am a paid Pro user with unlimited collections and now sorry I bought this. Had I known a new dumbed down version was going to be released I would not have. I want the old interface back for iOS.
  31. [R54] 2/5 · US 9.7.8 update ruins the app: Updated the app and now it’s either so slow I get bored waiting for it to show me my stuff, or it never loads at all. Also, it’s apparent the devs want to squeeze every last dime out of you, even after you upgrade your account. I can only store 4 images now, if I want more I have to upgrade yet again. I used to really love this app but the writing is on the wall. It’
  32. [R73] 1/5 · US Terrible AI features: I was enjoying the benefits of this app until a recent update had to shove even more AI slop into my life. I cannot stand how many extra clicks it takes just to do basic things now that the developer has tried to add an unhelpful AI function.
  33. [R48] 4/5 · US Love This App: Finally!! A company that knows what people want and offers it, at a one time cost to boot. This app covers all my needs and then some. It runs smooth and is easy to use. What really was the icing on the cake is finding out customer service actually exists these days. Had a question and it was handled promptly and with such professionalism. You don’t find that personal attention m
  34. [R94] 1/5 · US Customer service lacking: For whatever reason app just locks up at startup, over and over again then works fine…I’ve deleted and downloaded again multiply times. Customer service was helpful first night then totally ghosted me. Why would I pay for this????? Stay away
  35. [R29] 1/5 · US It’s cool. Until…: You know what’s funny? I was excited to find this app. I collect so many things. I start playing around, it’s lagging and dated, there’s a lot of basic features that could be added to make it more user friendly but I’m just glad it exists. I start logging and eventually I hit a paywall. That’s no problem, I expect that. So you can pay $49 to keep going with your one collection o
  36. [R35] 3/5 · US Good But Needs More Attention: This works ok. Given the 1-time cost and all it tries to do across platforms it stands out. But there are a lot of design choices that make it clunky. When loaning out to someone it really punishes when trying to select someone from your contact list and you have a lot of contacts. Should be able to favorite people and search. Also, basic search doesn’t work at all t
  37. [R27] 2/5 · US Pro App vs Unlimited LAME do not buy: So I already paid $59 for this app to open more items. Every once in a while a pop up happens with a sale. $79 “not a subscription” does less than the $59 I spent. Misleading and lame. Apple denied refund. So now this App still does nothing after $130 of purchase. Still not “pro” and totally lame and worthless extras. Pay for something else. Don’t download thi
