Mobile Application: My Fountain Pens (Ios & Android)

[Anes]

I don't know why, but thread about my mobile application "My fountain pens" was deleted. Let's try again:

This app lets you manage your fountain pen collection. Data fields: Manufacturer, Model, Color, Filling system, Year of production, Pen length, Nib material, Nib size, Nib stroke, Personal rating, Description, Notes, Images, buy & sell info: name, date, price, notes

Mandatory fields for pen data: manufacturer, model and filling system. Everything else is up to you.

Make backup (XLSX format) and share file via Dropbox, Google drive... Use Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers to edit backup file, then import backup data on one or several devices.

You can find app here (Android) and here (iPhone):

This is cool! I will give it a try.

[MadAsAHatter]

I've been using your app since shortly after you originally released it. Very straight forward and easy to use, I definitely like it and would recommend others to try it out.

[Anes]

It's time to implement ink data and I need your help with data fields:

- Manufacturer

- ink name

- color description

- package (bottle, cartridge)

- Notes

If you have anything else to add, please give me some feedback.

Thank you,

Anes

Characteristics like sheen, shading, glitter?

Dry vs wet?

[MadAsAHatter]

The type of ink like dye based, pigment based, iron gall.

 

Is it water/chemical resistant? yes or no

That's it, more or less. If you have any request, comment or idea please do not hesitate to drop a line or two here. Thank you for your comments, support and app ratings on PlayStore / AppStore.

Just found this! I am going to give it a try! Thanks so much!

[MadAsAHatter]

I've been using it since Anes released it.  Definitely a useful app.

[TheDutchGuy]

Looks interesting! I’ll check it out. Thank you!

[Anes]

... and I'm still here for your comments and requests. Thank you!

 

What's new in the last version: prepopulated data for more than 180 popular pens: do NOT type, choose:

 

 

Working on the next version: let's put some color in ink data:

 

 

[SubieMom]

Could you please add the newest colors of the Montverde Regatta Sport? It's missing Abalone and I know Mother Of Pearl just came out or is Coming out. 

[Anes]

Done. Thank you for the information you provided.

Theoretically, for making the backup you must have:

 

- write permissions

- enough memory

 

Practically: I am going to release a new Android version in a week (or two), with more details in error messages. Hope this will solve the mystery.
