The hobbyDB / Pop Price Guide App and its barcode scanning tech has always been the perfect tool for easily building and researching your collection.
(the video is still based on an earlier version of the App)
Now, with the new 4.0 version of the hobbyDB App freshly released on iOS (Android to follow soon), we’re taking your collecting experience up another notch and opening up the hobbyDB universe with a few simple clicks.
hobbyDB / PPG App 4.0
With the new-look hobbyDB App, you’ll still find the ability to scan your UPCs and unique barcodes, in addition to a much more prominent link to our ever-growing market and finding direct links to your Showcase, Collection and Wish List.
We’re excited to announce that you’ll now also find access via the App to our hobbyDB Retail Network, where we’re revolutionizing shopping for your favorite collectibles. More on that below.
Arriving Soon to the App
There are many great new features, upgrades and more coming soon to the App –
1. Activity Stream on the App
See real-time notifications of new items from Brands or Designers you follow, significant value changes for items you own, new items from your favorite sellers and more on the App!
2. More hobbyDB Retail Network Shops!
As mentioned above, you’ll already find the first eight of our Brick & Mortar stores via the App as part of our hobbyDB Retail Network.
Access them by simply clicking the hobbyDB Retail Network button, locate your desired retailer from the list…then shop away. You can then have those items shipped to you or picked up at their location to save postage!
We’ll be adding hundreds of more shops to create a full-fledged network of retailers, first across the U.S. and then internationally.
3. Image Matching
We’ve all been there. We have an item or even a spare part, but we just don’t quite know its name or other important details. With our new Image Matching feature, you’ll be able to easily locate an item via the hobbyDB database.
4. Discussion pages
We will bring the ability to chat to other members on Database Items pages, Showcases, Brand pages and more!
Adding/Upgrading Your App
The hobbyDB / PPG App is currently available in both Android and iOS versions.
We released Version 4.0 for iOS yesterday and your phone should have updated overnight.
Our Android version is still on Version 3.5. We expect to release 4.0 at the end of November.
