Getting Started
Welcome to Lootero! Whether you collect coins, watches, wine, trading cards, comics, antiques, or anything else under the sun, Lootero is the all-in-one app that finally lets you catalogue your real-world treasures, track what they’re worth, and connect with fellow collectors.
This 10-part series will turn you from complete beginner to Lootero power user in under an hour. Let’s begin.
Step 1: Download the App (or use the web version)
You have three ways to run Lootero:
- iOS → Apple App Store
- Android → Google Play Store
- Web (no install needed) → app.lootero.com (Perfect for desktop or when you’re on a computer. Note: taking photos only works in the mobile apps.)
Install the app or open the web link, then come right back here.
Step 2: Create Your Free Account
- Open Lootero → tap New Here? (big blue button on the login screen)
- Fill in three simple fields:
- Username (this is what you log in with)
- Valid email address
- Password
- Tick the box to accept the Terms & Privacy Policy → the Sign Up button turns blue and becomes active.
- Tap Sign Up.
You’re in! Lootero automatically logs you in and sends a welcome email. You must verify that email eventually for permanent access, but you can start using the app immediately.
Step 3: Your First Look – The Dashboard
Here’s what you’ll see the very first time you log in:
Top section (your mini-profile)
- Default avatar (you’ll change this later)
- Your username
- 1 Collection / 0 Items (because we haven’t made anything yet)
- $0 spent / $0 estimated value
- Eye icon → tap this to hide all money values if you ever want to (great for showing your phone to someone in public)
Collector’s Feed preview — A scrolling feed of beautiful items other collectors have recently added and chosen to make public. This is your daily dose of inspiration!
Popular categories — Quick tiles showing what’s hot right now (Coins & Currency, Watches, Comics, etc.).
Your collection records (empty for now) — Once you start adding items this will show fun stats:
- Most valuable theme/series
- Most expensive single item
- Oldest item and more.
Latest Updates (also empty at the start) — The last 10 items you touched, with Lootero’s AI price and monthly ↑↓ trend arrows.
Bottom Bar Navigation
From left to right:
- Home (Dashboard) – where you are now
- Feed – full-screen collector inspiration
- Collections – where all your collections live
- Items – where all your collection items live
That’s literally everything you need to know for the first five minutes.
You’re now officially a Lootero member with an empty but beautiful vault waiting to be filled.
