Art Collection iphone app, by disturbart on Apr 23, 2015 23:33:05 GMT 1, Hi All
Looking for input from member on how I can improve this but I have recently launched an iPhone app to store all my photos and log my urban art collection. The app is called My Art Collection and is available on iTunes now. You can store all the details of your art work,including photos, medium produced in, artist name, title of art, date of release, number in release, number owned, price paid, current value. size etc
The app will also show you all your art in a gallery format and display in a bar graph current total value and price paid.
Heres the link
itunes.apple.com/gb/app/my-art-collection/id985299919?mt=8
Photos below of the app

A quick question, how the hell does it work out the 'current value' iof each piece!? That's impressive.

Thanks for the good luck, In relation to the price calc, you have to input the price you paid for the art and then you also have to input the current value, it then calculates the difference. It does this for the total of all your art and then displays it in chart form. I just thought it was a nice idea but its not the main point of the app, I just wanted somewhere to organise all my art in an app.

Art Collection iphone app, by DameHoracia on Apr 24, 2015 10:21:53 GMT 1, I think it is a nice idea, I keep a log of all artwork but not what the current price is, I wouldn't know where to look or who to ask as it fluctuates too much I imagine. How many pieces can be added? Can you include a section for who the artist is (small bio), I'd also like to see a section for who the art was purchased from so you could add their details too (name, email, phone). I'm anal like that, I do all this in word just to keep a record but it gets clunky when you have too many pieces. I'll have a look if it's free just because I'm curious and I like the overall idea of it.

Art Collection iphone app, by Art Fan 2011 on Apr 24, 2015 10:44:32 GMT 1, How do you "calculate" the current value? After all the value of art is often what someone will pay for it, and it can fluctuate so much year on year or even month on month - So the "value now"/ "profit" element of the App seems needless. In terms of organising images of your art collection, many people use "Instagram" for that purpose.
I am sure you will get plenty of input going forward and be able to tailor it to your needs further.

How many pieces can be added? You can add as many pieces as you wish as its unlimited. Can you include a section for the who the artist is? There is a notes section so you could add it into that. You can also add who the art was purchased from as that section exists already.

I would use it if it was possible to export it to some kind of printable format. Paper is paper, you know. And adding all these all amount of info just to get it digital doesn't work for me... Btw, thanks for the effort and good luck!

Art Collection iphone app, by DameHoracia on Apr 24, 2015 15:21:54 GMT 1, I've had a browse through what's available in apps and online. There's not a huge amount out there for individual collectors so you may well have something disturbart. Many charge and anything else like software for Mac or PC is extortionate in price or the info is held within a cloud and charged for. So in the grand scheme of things 5 dollars is nothing really. At the mo my phone is so full I am trying to remove pics just to allow me to upgrade it, once this is done I'll download the app and have a scoot around.

Art Collection iphone app, by Nick on Apr 24, 2015 17:21:28 GMT 1, Would be great if details of all releases where stored somewhere on a server and when you add a piece to your collection you just need to type the name and then all the other details are added. If a record doesnt exist for your piece you can then write that record which gets saved on the server. On the same lines, some algorithm tracking ebay sales to create a realistic current value would be usefull. My two ideas are quite the logistical nightmare but would take the app to the level where I and i'm sure 000's of others would pay for the software. ExpressoBeans has all the info stored, might be an idea liasing with them about creating a standalone app in collaboration if this is something you're taking seriously. I'm probably taking this too far but in theory you'd then be able to create wishlists and track their pricemovements, and even open dialogue with other users who have your wishlist items listed as in their collections.

Art Collection iphone app, by DameHoracia on Apr 24, 2015 21:15:01 GMT 1, I have downloaded it. I'm going to go through it with a fine tooth comb, lol I'm fussy with stuff like this though. But I imagine it's better than the five word docs jam packed with info which then have to be saved as pdf's so as to not crash all the time. Already I noticed that the mock up artwork you have in the app cannot just be deleted under edit. Unless I've missed something? Anyway, loads to go through when I get some time so hopefully it will be a help to you.

To delete any artwork click on the My Art tab and then swipe to the left of the artwork entry you want to delete. Hope this helps

Art Collection iphone app, by Cornish Crayon on Apr 25, 2015 17:16:49 GMT 1, I like the idea, reduction for the weekend, great and I can understand the want for something like this on the mobile app format........
But the word profit is cringeworthy
Art is for viewing pleasure and nothing else, surely dude :/
edit: why does it cost so much anyway, ยฃ4 for a starter untested app ? 69p or ยฃ1.49 max........ then I might be tempted, get the attention before you get your crowd.
no worries and good luck

Art Collection iphone app, by Winter on Apr 30, 2015 9:34:07 GMT 1, Will give it a go. Does it have shipping/delivery costs and import duty costs? It also might be worth having a framing cost. Every piece can then have it's own folder containing all cost information in one place. Sometimes people buy pieces in their business name or children's names or even go halves so maybe have a line on who the owner is. Could also be a benefit of showing vat paid on each piece. I quite like the idea of where stored as I lend some of my collection to friends. I'm good like that!

Better is also if you can delete photos that are not made by myself or art that is not mine.
Maybe also good to specify if the art is bought on primary market or secondary market?

Two of the entries are back and unable to be deleted. Maybe the app has to have have at least two entries and can't be empty at any point. I had deleted everything. Now when I swipe to the side, there's no delete.

And I like the idea of placing framing costs as well. It is better to be shocked how much spend these days. :-)

Art Collection iphone app, by DameHoracia on Apr 30, 2015 10:18:13 GMT 1, Just added a test piece to see if I could delete the other two that appeared back in the app. Instead of being able to delete them, another one that I had deleted appeared in the 'my art' area. On deletion prior to this, I had zero. Reopened app and two appeared. Added a test piece of my own (making it three in app), and a fourth appeared from the app itself.
The second entry that was in the app the other day was a Pure Evil this has now changed into a Banksy. I'm not quite sure how this app works. I don't want to add my own and then it adds artwork already inputted by developer. Bit pointless really. I think there are still plenty of issues with this app including when it loads, it seems to take a while. Goodness knows what it will be like if it has 300+ of art work stored in it.
Edit:
Just managed to deleted using 'my art tab' and then swipe to left again on the Eine, flickered and lost the new entry of my own, plus the other ones that appeared bar one 'western super mare' entry. app flashed up 'My art collection, no data found'.
I may try to add at least ten to see if it stops previous entries suddenly reappearing because maybe the app needs more than one entry under the 'my art tab'. But I doubt I will use it to enter all of my art work just yet. I paid full price for this too. You need to do loads more work on this before releasing. Or at least ask people to review it and test for free to find the bugs. There seems to be a few just from my deleting and adding to it.

I wouldn't like the idea of information about my collection being available to someone I don't know. I think it's in the app, I don't think it's on a server. I may be wrong. I think the app needs entries of a certain number to work. So if you just add one piece having deleted the others he had already added, it has to add the others back as it can't function with one piece (even though you're getting ready to add other pieces of your own collection). I haven't a clue. I can only think it's that, I am sure he will let us know. I can log things as they happen when I am using it. He can then hopefully follow those steps to recreate and find what the bug is or change it if he happens to have made it standard in the app. I find it annoying. I don't want to delete that other art to find it comes back.
If it is on a server, then surely he would have said? i also wouldn't want that and wouldn't have purchased it.
Does the app store all this information locally, or on a server somewhere?... Sounds like it's on the server! I wouldn't like the idea of information about my collection being available to someone I don't know. I think it's in the app, I don't think it's on a server. I may be wrong. I think the app needs entries of a certain number to work. So if you just add one piece having deleted the others he had already added, it has to add the others back as it can't function with one piece (even though you're getting ready to add other pieces of your own collection).
