<p>Hey Juan!</p>
<p>I just saw your message. I'm sorry. Thanks a lot for your suggestions. We will improve the app for sure so any suggestion is valuable. The main issue is how to make the app useful without stealing content from NG or other sources. Right now, all the content is user generated, and as users come database becomes complete. The other thing we plan to improve is user experience when browsing on the phone. Stay tooned. :)</p>

<p>Hi Danko, </p>
<p>I tried your app and I do like it, although when I first saw it I expected to find at least the cover images of each issue. </p>
<p>I already marked every issue I have and uploaded 282 covers by now - I always scan them after browsing their pages and introducing their data in my Excel sheet, but it will take me years until I finish with the 976 issues in my collection :)</p>

<p>I already marked every issue I have and uploaded 282 covers by now - I always scan them after browsing their pages and introducing their data in my Excel sheet, but it will take me years until I finish with the 976 issues in my collection :)</p>
<p>I have a couple of suggestions: I would like to be able to see the information on a specific issue without marking it as present in my collection, but it automatically does so when I click on it. It would also be better if only the numbers that do include a supplement had the option to mark it. And there seems to be some problem with the November 1947 issue, because I get an error message when I try to upload a cover image (any image, so it's not a problem with my archive).</p>
<p>Thank you for your work, I will keep uploading covers as I scan them - at least until you make me pay for the app :P</p>
<p></p>
<p>P.S: I see that you are form Novi Sad. I passed through the city last month in the night train between Budapest and Belgrade - It's a pity that I didn't know about you, I could have made a stop and know each other ;)</p> Danko,

<p>Danko,</p>
<p>Other than our covers and maps, how is a collector going to get all the info that's in a typical magazine into each monthly edition on your site. Are we going to have to write reviews or summaries.. What info are YOU going to supply..</p>

<p>No problem at all, it looks like a great initiative! The guide in particular I enjoyed reading!</p>

<p>Yes that is correct, I am with a Macedonian background. Great to see a fellow Balkan on this site haha!</p>

<p>Hi Pece,</p>
<p>Thank you for trying the app and providing feedback. We are solving the problem you addressed. It will be much faster to upload your collection when we finish.</p>
<p>I see you live in Melbourne but are your origins from Macedonia by any chance? I'm asking because of your name.</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>

<p>Philip, I would be the happiest person if programmers hours and servers were free. Unfortunately they are not, and considering amount of data (especially photos) we need the best servers to be able to achieve speed and quality of the site. What is most important, we are not going to charge anything until users are satisfied and find this platform truly useful. </p>

<p>I actually enjoy in that part you call work. Spending time curating and reading my collection is why I started collecting National Geographic in the first place.</p>
<p>The important thing I wanted to ask you is how do you curate your collection? I would appreciate some suggestions and tips from experienced collector such as you. What would you like to have in a tool like this? <br/>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Hello again Philip,</p>
<p>Congratulations on completing the collection. You are top class collector obviously. As I mentioned before, we are tackling that problem and we will make it much faster to upload each issue. Hope you will try the app then. I will let you know.</p>
