1. 5/5Awesome app and awesome service, truly stands out.

   I ran into a slight issue where my account's data got wiped when clearing the cache from it without creating a login upon its initial download, so I ended up losing all my data. Again, entirely my fault. Anyways, I was really bummed but I contacted Cody (the founder) and we got the issue resolved and literally 45 minutes! I was amazed by the timeliness and efficiency!! Then again, don't rely on not making an account and hoping for the best in getting your data back, I had most of my collection logged, so we were able to resolve the issue.

2. 5/5Best COLLECTOR app EVER!!!

   I’ve been an avid Pokemon collector for a long time… and have used many (err) other apps recently… SHINY IS THE BEST APP OUT!!! Period!! Their developers are easy to reach for cards that have fallen through the cracks… they are prompt to respond… and prices are always accurate… and if they aren’t… let them know and someone will fix is ASAP. I have been pleased at how easy the app is to use… and it’s a no frills… no gimmicks experience… and they’re always coming up with NEW features that make our lives easier! Keep it going over there… I’m just here for the ride!

3. 3/5So close to awesome

   Please please enable bulk adding (or selecting multiple on searches) and filtering by owned or not owned, variants, etc. Such simple features that, without, exclude huge parts of the collectors community… makes us with thousands in our collection so hard to import in to. If you want new customers, make it easy for them to add their collection. Also, using PriceCharting for graded slabs is fine except for trying to differentiate grade values of BGS vs others. For instance, BGS 9.5 on destined rivals mewtwo is worth $1200+, but CGC 9.5 is like $500. Price charting doesn’t differentiate, just averages out, way under valuing BGS slabs. Work around is custom pricing, but have to manually maintain, which kind of defeats the purpose. Using eBay directly for averages, or another more refined source would be better.

4. 5/5Love the app, wish it had a couple features.

   Great app,I use it to primarily track my collection. I would love a couple sorting features to be added. Currently Shiny tells you how much your ungraded, graded, and sealed collections are worth, it would be nice to click on those to view the items in that category. Another feature that would be nice, a suggestion for your ungraded cards to be graded based on potential value. Price charting does this, but again, I enjoy and rather use Shiny! Edit: there is a place to view graded/ungraded/seal, I was blind and couldn’t find it, user error. Love the app!

5. 5/5Lightyears ahead vs Pokemon Collection Trackers

   As a UX/UI designer and digital marketer myself, I cannot recommend Shiny over other platforms any higher. I’ve tried them all.. and this checks all the boxes. The scanner is more accurate, the exporting is cohesive and detailed, the grouping is organized, price accuracy is spot-on, and overall the app is just simply the most intuitive to use. Stop wasting time tapping around trying to find the price or having to open up eBay solds in a new tab just to find the data you’re actually looking for and just save time and frustration by using Shiny. The developer is extremely active and responsive, genuinely cares about his users and the success of his product.. actually listens and includes your suggestions into updates. Couldn’t be happier supporting this app. I’m a user for life.
