iPhone Apps for Collectors
Whether you collect coins, stamps, cars (or just about anything else), chances are that iPhone has an app for you. From general apps that allow you to keep track of any collection to apps designed for specific types of collectors, the App Store is filled with options. In this roundup of iPhone apps for collectors, I’ve searched through and found some great options for you to check out if you are looking for a collectors app for iPhone.
We’ll jump right in and start with a few general iPhone apps for collectors. For these apps, it doesn’t matter what type of collection you have. The apps are designed for you to input information about your collection to give you a catalog of your items that you can carry with you at all times. After a few general collection managing apps, page 2 takes a look at some good specific collectors apps based on type of collections (coins, stamps, cards, comic books and antiques).
CollectionDB - $0.99
No matter what you may be collecting, CollectionDB allows you to keep track of the collection. This collectors app for iPhone allows you to keep track of more than one collection at a time and even stores photos of each item within each collection. Attached to the photo you may record information about the value of the item, price paid, resell value, date obtained, condition, serial number and other notes.
CollectionDB is a great resource that can store photos and information about your collectibles so that it is easily accessible on the go. If you’re an enthusiastic collector with a bad memory and could use some help remembering what you already have, this app would be a great resource for you.

CollectionFree - FREE
Similar to CollectionDB, CollectionFree allows you to store information about multiple collections. With this iPhone app for collectors, you are able to create lists of items that you have in each collection along with some basic information about each collection item. The CollectionFree interface is not very visually pleasing and not very comprehensive in the amount of information you can store about each collection item, but it is offered for free. The app does allow you to keep a basic list of your collection items with a photo for each item, making the app convenient for collectors.
Download CollectionFree for free.
US Coin Collection - $0.99
US Coin Collection is a simple index of your coin collection. Catalog your coins with year, variety, mint, quantity, comments and coin. The app allows you to organize and keep track of the coins in your collection on your iPhone. It is not an encyclopedia of coins and you won’t be able to search through the app for information on various coins. The only information that the app stores is the information that you entered yourself. It’s still a convenient way to keep a list of your coins.
