Stamp Analyser

The program looks good but i cant enter your webpage for instruktions

Interesting. No template for US stamps. Perforations display unhelpful. Sorry. Thought it had potential: it’s getting harder for me to see perforation on scale, though this would help. Have not tried coin templates, so I can’t speak to that.

I really like this app. I recently had an issue with downloading photos and contacted customer service. It was late Saturday night. I got a replay in 5 minutes and over the next half hour 2-3 more emails and screen shots to fix the problem. I have never experienced better customer service and highly recommend this app!

It took me about ten minutes to fully master it but it was well worth it. I use a 2€ coin and the results are as advertised. Of course a heavy cancel or margin selvage will have a negative effect but you should get sufficient data to identify the stamp. The only way to improve this App would be to come up with a color identification feature. This software is well worth the $5.00.

I have found this app incredibly accurate in measuring both perforations and frame dimensions of a stamp. The app now includes a measuring feature that I have found accurate to .1 mm. I scanned multiple millimeter devices at 600dpi ... then cropped 25mm sections and measured with this app. The results were dead on at 25mm. I prefer to scan multiple stamps at 600dpi ... Photographing with a coin works just fine. Frederick Central,SC

This is a must have for any stamp collector. It takes all the guess work out of grading your collection. The support is excellent too.

I assumed I would be able to simply photograph my stamps and get a fast read on the perforations. It does work with photographing, provided you get the QR symbol from the developer web site which I missed on the first go-around. The app developer was most kind and stayed with me through success. To get the accuracy I desired it is essential to scan the stamps, not simply photograph them. Obviously, dpi setting on the scanner must coincide with the app dpi setting. This should occur automatically of you have scanned properly. Because you have to know how to use your scanner and its related software, and if you are a novice like me, be prepared to invest a few hours fiddling around with it before you can reliably use the scans with the app. With that done, the app performs great. Rashid, the developer, takes customer support to a new level. Thanks Rashid

Don't waste your $5

Great idea but poorly functioning. While I'm all for simplicity, $30 seems steep for something so limited. It's main function is to grade stamps by analyzing a photo or scan of a stamp. Unfortunately after several photos, it finally kind of got it close. It allows you to move the orange bars but not the blue...which is problematic. Even with scanned images or images taken with a good camera are analyses poorly. Cool idea, but it rarely gets it right. Hopefully the desktop/computer version of this does a better job. Will be seeking a refund.

I just purchased the Stamp Analyser software from Rakium, Inc. I had inherited my Dad's stamp collection and realized after just a little research that being able to accurately measure the perforations of stamps would be critical to knowing which specific stamp I was looking at. I ordered a perforation gauge but grew frustrated right away with no confidence in my results. Researching the internet for software that could eliminate the frustration and add confidence in the measurement, I came across a few options. I chose the Stamp Analyser because of its superior ease of use with Apple products. Getting started as a newbie to philately and not too tech savvy, I had some questions about how I would be using the software. I wrote to the email address offered for support and heard back in short order . All my questions were answered thoroughly and I am a fan!!!! Would recommend to all collectors. And most users will will be up and running after just a brief reading of the details on the website. Excellent functionality with just a scanner and an Ipad or or your IPhone or use your Mac...
