- [R2] iCollect Everything 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.
- [R8] iCollect Everything 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 :)
- [R61] iCollect Books Wrong the book showed up when I entered the ISBN: The very first book I scanned, came up with the correct cover for the book. I am scanning, the description is for the wrong book. I’m scanning a vintage sunset book called kingdoms for kids, but the description of the book that comes up is for a story, not a how to, something completely different. I don’t know if that’s because I’m scanning a vinta
- [R62] iCollect Books Great for keeping track of books: I love this app for keeping track of my books because sometimes I forget which one I already have in a series and it’s nice to just be able to open my phone and be like ok I already have that one. Especially since I read a lot of manga. 🤣
- [R11] iCollect Everything So far so good: Simple design, quick and easy to use
- [R57] iCollect Everything Best collection app I’ve ever used: The app is really easy to use. The barcode scan works really well and the database has had everything that I needed to look up except for a couple of 7” 45rpm records out of about 30. I had my books logged in another app. It was easy to get all of that information transferred. Collection categories are pre-setup for just about anything and you have the ability t
- [R64] iCollect Books Meh.: The scanning is clunky, but you can add pretty much any information you want.
- [R66] iCollect Books Easy to use: The app is easy to use and has settings to set how you want your list to show. The app, only allows you to add 30 books. Once you’ve added 30 you’ll need to pay. It’s a little more than I was looking to pay, but over all is a nice app.
- [R21] iCollect Everything 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
- [R22] iCollect Everything New update broke app: My app continuously loads and never finishes since most recent update
- [R72] iCollect Books Not reliable: I’ve really tried to like this app, but it seems fairly clueless in finding e-books which I use due to frequent travel. I usually have to put most of the info in myself which is pretty time-consuming. I am out of the country frequently and do not always have access to internet. My database only shows without a connection about 10% of the time - making it an useless resource then. W
- [R84] iCollect Books It was great until it crashed: I paid for the upgrade and it was great! I was looking at everything you could do in it and changed the theme color and it crashed. Now I can’t get it to open back up and I’ve scanned almost 400 books into it. I’m so mad I could cry. If I’m not able to get it to open again, I want a refund! I’m not paying $10 for an app that won’t open!
- [R6] iCollect Everything 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.
- [R12] iCollect Everything 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 :(
- [R73] iCollect Books Not free: You have to pay 29.99 to enter more than 30 books
- [R80] iCollect Books Disappointed: Great app as long as you don’t have over 30 books. Free until 30. But 31+ will cost $29.99. That should be in description.
- [R16] iCollect Everything 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.
- [R67] iCollect Books Awesome app for large collections!: To tell you how much I love this app, let me start off by saying I don’t pay for apps. If it ain’t free, I don’t use them. But this one so impressed me after reaching my “free limit” of books that I decided to purchase the full version. And I have zero buyers’ remorse! And the one time a feature was added that was inconvenient, they responded quickly and chose t
- [R115] iCollect Books Great App: Love, love, love this app! I have over 500 books and this is a great app to load my library so I can have all the information at my fingertips. The founders of the app are very helpful and respond quickly to questions. Highly recommend this app.
