UKStamps

This App is the latest essential for the keen philatelist giving you a unique database for British stamps. You can record those you already own (mint or used) along with their cost and current estimated market value. You can enter a unique reference or catalogue number for each item. A summary page indicates how many stamps you have and their total cost and value. A handy link to the Internet allows you to search for those elusive stamps needed to complete your collection. All records have an accurate image for your reference.
The initial screen will show you a table containing thumbnail photos of stamps from the period indicated in the text to the right.
Tapping the table row will take you to another table again with thumbnail photos of the stamps from the chosen period. It will also display your reference/catalogue number, the date of issue, and an indicator of whether you have the mint or used version of that particular stamp.
