Every player
has a story.

Start with one photo. Find the make and model, get closer to its history, and keep the details of the player that found its way to you.

From “what is that?”
to a player worth remembering.

The app keeps the important parts together: what the photo supports, what remains uncertain, and what you want to remember.

01

Start with one photo

Photograph one player or choose one image. Adjust the frame, then decide whether to send it for identification.

Photo and permission help
02

See what can be confirmed

Read the model, visible clues and reference material. A possible match stays a candidate until its details agree.

How results work
03

Keep your own record

Save the player with your notes and condition details. Your collection is stored locally on your device.

Read the privacy policy

Screens show the real app interface with example archive content. They are not live identification results or evidence of recognition accuracy.

From a found object to a record that stays yours.

  1. 01

    Choose one player

    Take a clear photo or choose one from your library. Include the model label when you can.

  2. 02

    Read the details

    Check the identity and its evidence. Stories, specifications and market observations depend on available sources.

  3. 03

    Make it your own

    Save a record, add your condition and notes, then return to it from your on-device collection.

A collection that
stays close to home.

Your archive and notes stay on your device. A selected photo is sent to the recognition service only when you choose identification and agree to upload.

No app account

Your saved players and private notes are kept in the app on this device.

Know when a photo leaves

The app asks before sending your selected photo for cloud recognition. The service is still being prepared.

Sources matter

Second-hand sold prices and asking prices are different. Verified market sources are not connected yet.

A few things
worth knowing.

Visit support
Can I download the app today?

The public App Store release and recognition service are still being prepared. This site does not provide a download link yet.

Will one photo always identify the exact model?

No. Similar models, unclear labels and replaced parts can make a photo inconclusive. Possible matches stay marked as candidates; the app should not present them as confirmed identity.

Does the app provide a real second-hand valuation?

No valuation is available without verified market observations. Sold prices and current asking prices need separate sources and dates; a listing price is not proof of a sale.

Do I need an account?

No app account is used. Your collection and notes are stored on this device. The free allowance and Pro options will be described in the app before purchase is enabled.

For the player
you can’t stop looking at.

Retro Player ID is being prepared for iPhone and iPad. Product support and release information will appear here when they are ready.
