SaintsSoft's iPhone (iPod, iPad) App's support multiple methods of backing-up your collection. First among these, and easiest, is to use the Backup action accessible from the Coin View Action menu. This is an InApp purchase, costing $1.99.
It is the easiest option, backing up your entire collection from your Phone (iPod, or iPad) to the Cloud using
Dropbox. Following a backup, you can switch devices and perform a restore, effectively moving your collection from one device to another.
US Coin Collector for Windows can import this same Backup, all that is necessary is to install Dropbox for Windows and then select the Dropbox folder in your user folder, Dropbox ~ Apps ~ US Coin Collector.
