1. 5/5Best comic collecting app and pricing database I've found so far!

   I've recently been tasked with organizing and cataloguing a massive collection of gold & silver age comics, and had been looking for a solution for building a master list of all the books, and this one has been by far the clear frontrunner for apps like this. I've tried several others, and Key Collector has the most thorough data on each book out of any others, and an incredibly intuitive filtering system that lets you find exactly which books you need to find quickly and accurately! I cannot overstate how awesome their search engine is. Basically if you can't find the exact book you're looking up within about 10 seconds, it's probably not in the database yet. The amount of info on keys that is available here is of course one of the strongest features, and is more comprehensive than any price guides I've come across. The updated lists are fun to read too and the randomizer is super cool. This app has gone from unknown to indispensable to me in a matter of weeks. Keep up the great work guys! Definitely worth the subscription price!

2. 1/5Seldom Work as Designed

   The older basic version was better. Now with the scan to search feature the app freezes after 3 scans. You have to close the app to scan more. When the scan works and shows the details for the scanned book, let's say I want to click on the series and see more issues. You can't because this feature seldomly works when arrived from the scan feature. You have back out to the app main page and search the series from there. Next, pricing is not consistent. Direct Editions cover A's are always the main book show, which shows suggested market values. Let's say this comic has a newsstand variant, and it shows the current market value for the direct edition is $50. Ok, so then you click on "show variants," and the newsstand shows as $4. Obviously the Newsstand should be higher, but across all other titles the newsstand 90% of the time will be cover price compared to the direct edition. This goes for all other variants, unless the variant is considered the main key. Here is another big glitch. Let's say I added comics to my collection 4 years ago. The values in my collection stay frozen in time at the values that existed in the app 4 years ago. Even though a separate search in the app shows the comic at a higher value now. Lastly, support emails to support about these glitches go unanswered. Yes, you receive an email saying a case has been opened, but you will never hear anything again. Clearly since every glitch I have ever reported has never been fixed, no one is looking at these cases.

3. 5/5Continuous Innovation Keeps Key Collector #1

   I find myself humbled often mixing with Comic Industry Professionals regularly & Innovation in our Industry is a regular topic. While 2018 has been a year of Growth & Change, with many of the biggest names settling into new positions with publishers; we see all types of change taking place and it’s exciting! The introduction of Multiple Media formats growing so fast, Web Comics, Kickstarters, Disney’s acquisition of FOX, DC Streaming, Disney Streaming, speculation markets driven by decisions made and titles optioned, not to mention new indie companies springing up daily, it the Key Collector App that keeps me at the top of my game! I’ve seen the app grow from an incredible product to something I can’t live without! It’s one of the first things I do everyday, check the new specs, hot keys, what’s new, and the addition of new features regularly have kept the Key Collector both Useful & quite frankly, Awesome! Key Collector is my Killer App of 2018! Make it yours! And if your not a subscriber; I highly recommend taking advantage of the added features, it’s more than a bargain! Thanks Nick! Keep it Awesome!! Make Mine Key Collector! David Conine

4. 5/5Love this app

   I have been waiting to review this app as I have been using it for almost a year now. I honestly can't say enough good things about it. It breaks down things into different subsections to allow even more ease of use. I personally love the spec deck. I also love how easy it is to search for comics. It is ever expanding, so if you don't see something (can't wait for Phantom Stranger to get some love/listings) just wait. There is always new content. I actually just look at what's recently added every other day or so just to see if I can learn something new. This app is a comic collectors best friend. If you own a store or ebusiness it is also great for keeping up with what's new and getting hot, or also what's cooling off so you don't get caught overpaying for particular "hot books". Really this is the best thing to happen to comics since Wizard magazine for those old enough to remember. Maybe the best thing since Bob Overstreet started his world famous price guide. Like I said before, I can't say enough good things about this app.

5. 5/5Almost perfect!

   Incredible tool for anyone wanting to get started in collecting. The comic world is immense and this will help you choose a path. The updates are really quick too. Seems to keep track of pricing and developments very fast. This app is totally worth paying for. Two nit-picks. I’m a designer so the UX and look of the app leaves quite a bit to desire aesthetically. As a tool, there is a lot of back and forth between section when you are searching for books. Slows things down when you’re on the hunt. It would be better to have a centralized/universal navigation system. Second, I’d love for this to work in landscape mode on my iPad! That way I can have it open while on the other half of my iPad I can have websites or my Library of books open. Honestly the app is great and everyone collecting should have!!!

2. 3/5

   So many great features. But the most important feature - though improved - is still somewhat inconsistent (better than it was)...the scanning of comics. Not the best. It can takes 3-5 sometimes 10 attempts to get the book you scan to come up. I'm glad they have improved this. Until it does, I am back to using this app more often. I'm taking it from 1 stars to 3 stars due the improvement on scanning and hyperlinks. I pay for this app and am still frustrated at times.
