For those who have stamp apps for their smartphone, what do you use?

Since I use excel for inventory, I am going to try that but creating a special view through a formulas or pivot tables.

I had looked at one time for some app(s) for stamp collecting. No luck on anything particularly useful.

I guess not many people using their smart phones.

I will likely just use my excel file and use it. I can use OneNote but I want something that does not need wifi to use.

I keep my want list in a Google spreadsheet so I can pull it up from my phone, iPad, or any device with internet access. And I can email the link to dealers, if I want. Otherwise that's about the extent of it for me.

The gang on the podcast Stamp Show Here Today reviewed smartphone stamp apps in episode #31, published May 24, 2015. The only app worth noting is for collectors of US stamps dated 1847-1947. United States Stamp Catalog for Android os. I think an inventory app would be amazing! Maybe you can search around on Product Hunt. I would love to see HipStamp develop something. Just seems like the average demographic of collector is not using a smartphone. Sounds like use of Scott numbers is a major barrier and the app Scott has published is pretty bad and expensive. Hopefully others can weigh in if we are missing anything?

The USPS also sells an app but have not used them. I wanted something with local storage to be able to use disconnected.
