New FREE App to manage your toy collections!
 

Hi Guys,

Firstly, hope this is OK to post. As a collector myself, admittedly not of action figures (much), i'd like to introduce a new app my company (Tactile Solutions) have just released into the App Store!

At the moment, it is completely free with no In-App-Purchases or Ad's. Hence me drawing your attention to it now! All we ask if you could possibly leave a review on the app store, with any additional features you'd like to see! We're already working on integrating with social media and ebay etc - if there's a a way we can integrate directly into this forum i'd be happy to work on that too! (Admin's feel free to get in touch).

With 'My Collections Organiser' you can now simply scan a barcode of an item you have bought and store them into any category you want, all on your iOS device! The app will automatically identify your biggest and best categories and make it easy, quick and fun to browse through them!

In one app, you can keep a record of all your collections in an easy, manageable and convenient way.

The Main Features:

* Scans barcodes and retrieves the name of the items along with a photo (if available).

* Manual name entry if your item is not found on the database via barcode.

* Totally Unique, user definable categories. Items without barcodes? Not a problem! Add absolutely anything with our manual add function.

* Multi / Batch Scan - Got loads to scan? Scan them all at one time, put your feet up and let 'My Collections Organiser' do the work for you, looking up multiple item information and automatically adding them to your selected category.

* Store items into any category you wish and select a stored item to bring up a photo, the full item name and when the item was added to the category. You can create as many as you like, so go crazy!

* Lists & User Defined Information. Fed up of being restricted on what information you can store about your items? Now you can create your own fields, storing whatever information you want to.

* Instant Item Checker - In a shop? Can't remember if you've got that film or not? Don't take the risk! Scan the item and 'My Collections Organiser' will instantly tell you if that barcode is stored somewhere in your collection. Simple!

* iCloud sync, allowing you to keep track of your collections across all your iCloud-enabled devices.

* E-mail a CSV export of your collections to view on your computer or anywhere else that supports the CSV file format.

* Don't like E-mail? Directly access a CSV export of your collections simply by entering an address into the web browser!

Intriguing, but two questions. 1, does it require Internet access for the instant item checker? And 2, when's the android version coming out?

Hi There,

1) Nope, for instant checking it does not require internet access.

2) As soon as i've back to grips with Java Programming Language, it's been a while! :)

I'll have to try it on my iPod Touch (My only Apple device). Collection organizing is a good thing! :D

Also, might I suggest you add an email account sync as well as the iCloud one? That would be a necessity when it gets to other devices.

Ha, yeah it certainly can be a good thing! Along with slightly frightening when you see how much you actually have!!

As for email sync, there's currently csv exporting to an email, or directly to your pc over wifi. I am looking at other syncing methods to support across multiple devices, particularly in anticipation for when I get round to releasing an Android version!

lmk when the android version is released since my toy addiction doesn't allow for me to spend $600+ on a phone...;)

Quite understandable! :)

Will keep you informed..

I second that. Would be cool to have android version.
