Overall, StampManage is a reasonably good application for keeping an inventory of your stamp collection. It is fairly easy, if a little tedious, to enter your stamps and provides a number of canned reports. There are some annoying quirks however. It does not provide a very comprehensive list of stamp types in its drop down menu. For example, plate number singles, one of my specialties, is not included. You can type it in, but have to do this for each stamp. There is no way to add to the table. There is no way to import data from another application, even other commercial ones which export data in comma delimited formats. There is no undo function, which can be disastrous. Because of some bugginess in the program it is easy for something to go wrong that can't be undone without restoring a backup. For example, when trying to enter a range of stamps into a collection by using the normal Windows highlight/shift-click method, it sometimes will select EVERY item previous to the last one in the intended range. Not good if you don't notice. Such as the time it entered about a thousand unintended stamps into my collection. So, I end up doing constant backups. Some of the canned reports are odd, making me think that whoever designed them is not a collector. For example, one "standard" report seems to print the stamp data in random order, which makes it pretty useless for any purpose.
The worst of it though, is the lack of technical support. They do not respond to repeated emails. They have a technical support forum, but due to what seems to be a bug, I have never been able to get authorized to post to the forum.
I'll probably keep using the software unless or until I can find something else that suits my needs and allows me to import the data I've entered into StampManage. But overall, it's been a rather disappointing experience.
