## Description

Silver Hallmarks - Maker Marks helps you identify antique British silver hallmarks. It features 17,000+ verified marks, searchable by date letter, object, animal, or shape, with fast lookups and the ability to save favourites.

Use the date-letter lookups for major towns (London, Birmingham, Sheffield, Edinburgh, and more), compare maker's and assay punches, and use the Second Opinion reader by pointing your camera to a punch to get a near-match from the catalog. A plain-English glossary helps newcomers follow trade terms like assay, lion passant, and sterling.

## Review summary

Users praise the app as a rich, convenient database that saves time and helps identify obscure marks, a valuable reference for collectors at all levels. However, repeated issues center on aggressive pricing and gating of features, failed or confusing purchases/restores, unreliable or restricted search capabilities, occasional crashes, and weak support. Overall, the content is highly useful when accessible, but monetization and reliability problems significantly hinder the experience.

- Time-saving reference that consolidates research in one place
- Helpful for identifying obscure or rare marks
- Useful for both new collectors and seasoned researchers
- Provides more resources than many other websites/books

### Cons

- Pricing model gates basic features behind payment or upgrades
- Billing/restoration issues, including failed restores and requests for refunds
- Search functionality is unreliable or restricted unless you pay
- Reliability problems such as crashes and frequent reinstalls
- Customer support and refund process are frequently reported as weak
