Stampy Major Update: A Smarter, More Powerful Way to Collect
Stamp collecting is about precision, organization, and personal meaning. This update strengthens all three pillars. Your collection becomes more structured, more secure, and more valuable to you over time.
Your Collection, Now Synced Across Devices
Your stamps are no longer tied to a single device. With iCloud integration, your entire collection is securely stored and automatically synced.
- Access your collection from multiple devices
- No manual backups required
- Reduced risk of data loss
This is a structural upgrade. It ensures your collection behaves like a true asset, not a local file.
Folders: Build Real Structure Into Your Collection
You can now create folders to organize your stamps into sub-collections.
Examples of effective use:
- Country-based collections
- Time periods (e.g. pre-1950, modern issues)
- Themes (animals, aviation, historical figures)
This allows you to scale your collection without losing clarity.
Personal Notes for Every Stamp
Each stamp can now carry its own context.
- Record where the physical stamp is stored
- Add acquisition details (price, source, date)
- Track condition notes or grading thoughts
This turns your collection into a documented system rather than a loose archive.
Sort by Value — Instantly
You can now sort your collection by value with one tap.
- Identify your most valuable stamps quickly
- Track portfolio concentration
- Make faster decisions when buying, selling, or trading
This introduces a financial lens to your collection.
Favorites: Focus on What Matters
Mark stamps with a heart to create a curated shortlist.
- Instantly access your most important pieces
- Build a “highlight portfolio” within your collection
- Separate emotional value from total volume
Improved Paywall & Transparent Pricing
The paywall has been rebuilt to display correctly across all devices and scenarios.
- More reliable presentation
- Clearer, localized pricing for every user
- Improved trust through transparency
Accuracy Improvements Across the Board
Identification accuracy has been significantly increased.
- More reliable recognition results
- Better data quality for each identified stamp
- Stronger foundation for long-term collection building
What This Means for You

If you are serious about building a meaningful stamp collection, this update puts you on the right path.
