  1. 5/5Fantastic, with some minor issues.

    This scanner is largely the best scanner on the market. It needs quite a few quality of life updates, but the scanning feature is by far more accurate than any other app. Some things I would love are the ability to sort cards by set, and to automatically change the amount of each card in your collection based on how many you scan, as well as the ability to add collections in the scanning interface, lastly a list view for cards as well as the current picture based view. All in all, even without these changes the app is great for figuring out what you have.

  2. 4/5Pretty good but I need some help from developer please!!!!

    It is a very good app but when I first downloaded it about half a year ago it said that there was a free lifetime subscription free that I could get and was called a gift but I had no idea how to get it and never got it so I was frustrated. And now the offer is no longer there under in app purchases in the App Store. It has a really nice free version but the plus version seems like basically the whole app and all you can do is search up prices from the app and make one collection. My final downside is that the scanner is super slow when the lighting isn’t absolutely perfect and even when the lighting is perfect it is still pretty slow. I hope that the developer response to this so I can get some feedback. A good thing is that I was able to find out my cards were about 1.4 K which was nice.

  3. 5/5Good app but still buggy, l paid for annual access but still the same

    The app is good for the most part. It’s able to scan cards and does its job. It’s definitely buggy, but one of my biggest and main issue is that I paid for the annual subscription and after you pay for it, the app still thinks or registers you as a free trial. Reached out to customer support emailed no response from anywhere.

  4. 3/5Good but worth it depends

    This app overall can be useful but it has a lot of issues first am a old collector it try’s to tell me some of my first editions and even older holos from around 2009 arnt that and these newer cards when they didn’t exist so no clue how that works and second the fact that it gonna give me one free picture why do I have to use a subscription when u can make this free and tax buyers it shouldn’t punish people for curious about there cards and the fact that most of my older cards get brought up as sum they don’t even look like is insane so if ur a new collector could Be worth it if you have some of the rarer uncommon old cards just go to a live store

  5. 2/5Good app, but can’t figure out how to add unlimited cards…

    App scans better than any other app I have, but I can’t figure out how to change a card from 1st edition to unlimited. Scanned Porygon from base set, but it scans as 1st edition. I push “change card,” and it gives me an option to select, but there is no unlimited version of the card from base set. This is incredibly disruptive to the scanning process. Scanning thousands of cards and having to stop all the time makes all the great things about this app obsolete. It either needs to be more clear how you accomplish this, or it needs to get fixed.
