## Review summary

Users praise Altova MyCollections for customizable fields, cloud backups, cross-device syncing, and easy cataloging with photo and barcode support. However, the app is plagued by stability issues: Missing Page Sources/Resources errors, frequent crashes, and data loss unless constantly saved and synced. Some users encounter device/OS compatibility problems (notably on newer iPhones) and slow search performance. Despite reliability concerns, many find the cloud sync and flexible structure valuable for organizing diverse collections, indicating strong potential if stability improves.

### Pros

- Highly customizable fields for any collection
- Cloud backups and syncing across devices (iOS/Android/Windows)
- Easy-to-use interface for cataloging collections
- Photos per item (and barcode scanning) support
- Free and feature-rich option for collectors

### Cons

- Repeated Missing Page Sources/Resources errors blocking add/edit/view
- Frequent crashes and freezes leading to data loss
- Need to save and sync after every addition to avoid losing work
- Compatibility issues on newer devices/OS (e.g., Cannot set 'NextProcess' on iPhone 14)
- Slow search/loading times and occasional display/UI bugs
