Knife Collection 4+

Knife Collection time for some work

This app works as shown on the iPhone and I am currently using it for my collection. However, I tried it on the Macbook Pro M1pro and the text entries worked, but I couldn't get a picture to upload to the app. So, I abandoned the app for Macbook and stuck with the iPhone. It's slower data entry, but it works. What would be ideal is to have the iPhone app sync to the Mac app, but this would require some work. I would like to see the developer visit this App more often and 'own' it, as it's been over 6 years since the last update.

Great product could use some minor improvements

The overall user interface is pretty good, sometimes the information listed is not available from the manufacturer, perhaps if there were a few open drop down menus that were customizable for info the manufacturer provides but you don’t have a listing for. Also sometimes ing that enter disappears shortly after I enter it in and I have to start the listing over.

Good foundation - minimal functionality

The idea is good but right now (v1.1) the app is little more than a nicely colored blank page on which you take notes.

The app would greatly benefit from having a catalogue of existing knives (at least production knives from the past few years) with all of the specs already input so the user simply needs to select which knives he currently owns and can see those that have been produced but are not yet in his collection.

At the moment, a spreadsheet is a more useful tool than this app. At least a spreadsheet can be filtered and sorted, data can be entered with a proper keyboard on a laptop, and a spreadsheet doesn’t cost money.

I hope this app progresses much like the beer app “Tappd” but at the moment, this app has a very long way to go.

Developer Response ,

Hello and thank you for your feedback. You are right, it would be really nice if the App would have all the data from all knives available. However there is no existing database and if I would start adding all data myself it would take ages as there are tens of thousands of knives. That is not an option and that is why you have to add the data yourself. However I never said that the App already has all the data. Hope that it was not misleading. Sure you can use a spreadsheet, but I think that is not as nice and you would not have it with you. :) I have some ideas how to improve the App however the App is just an hobby for me and the $2 you pay is to cover the 99$ Apple takes per year.
