terrible experience right after I scanned.my 1st card its asking me for a membership that I don't want. cant we just look up these cards value and everything without a subscription like come on now. Im not very happy with this. if I were to give this app a zero star I would but I only see one so that's all I'm going to give. totally a waste of space on my tablet and my time. I DELETED IT. others here I would not recommend downloading this app if you dont want 2 pay for a subscription period.
★★★★ Matthew Bryant 4/28/2026 v1.5.1
this app was terrible
★★★★ Tjm I 4/28/2026
they charge out the gate but only after you review
★★★★ Jay Walsh 4/27/2026 v1.5.1
Waste of money. It's just a random number generator. Scanned the same card 10x and got a different number each time, none of which you could find on ebay. Junk.
★★★★ Ronnie Hamic 4/26/2026 v1.5.1
wants you to pay with out trying it out first.
★★★★ Kyle K 4/25/2026 v1.5.1
Makes you pay for it to get your cards value
★★★★ Jim Lee 4/20/2026
you're paying a fee. not free.
★★★★ Barry Simpson 4/20/2026 v1.5.1
comes off as free 100% not it won't let you do anything until you pay for a subscription
★★★★ Jim Mascheri 4/20/2026 v1.5.1
pay now. dont even give you a sample card to evaluate what they do. 40 a year or 6 a week for what? I dont know.
★★★★ Rick Yacks 4/20/2026 v1.5.1
there's no way to get ahold of them if you want your money back I tried looking on the app to see if there's any kind of customer service they don't I searched up Google and the only cardly I found is a birthday cards. I found that out because I talked to them and they have no app and then I when I purchase it before then they said that it was a 80 some cents a week and I had no idea that I was going that there is going to charge me for the full year so good luck if you want to get your money
★★★★ José Arroyo 4/19/2026
This app is garbage. There is no chance on this earth, that you should pay for a service before even seeing if it functions correctly, or is what someone is looking for. Trying to make you get the subscription before it completes the very first scan, is a ridiculously absurd tactic to get people to pay. I doubt in any way shape, or form that the 4.2 ratting it has is a true rating.
★★★★ Stephen Wright 4/18/2026 v1.5.1
I have had nothing but problems with this app. I scan cards and then it continues to ask me to upgrade and then the app won't put the card in my collection or it deleted my whole collection. I am subscribed to 5.99 a week. at this price I should not have any inconvenience.
★★★★ Kash Greathouse 4/17/2026 v1.5.1
My card collection is gone!!!!!! I've spent so many hours of my time cataloging my cards to one day...poof... gone... no phone update no changes what do ever and now it's gone! If I would have had a trial and this happen then ok but ive paid for a yearly subscription! This should be illegal. I'm so upset 😡. I will forever speak bad about this app and company
★★★★ Dalton House 4/16/2026 v1.5.1
no free trial 💩
★★★★ Loren Hovis 4/16/2026
sorry it was not good or my cards, my phone AO was far better!!
★★★★ Brandon M 4/13/2026
requires a subscription
★★★★ sallie winegarner 4/12/2026 v1.5.1
their customer service sucks the support email is a auto mated message that says the same thing no matter what you write. I have wrote them about an issue the same issue 8 times over the course of a month now. same response! not a real person! I just want my card collection back. I had 100s in there I got a new phone I logged into the same paid account on the new phone. boom all cards gone!! I would consider changing my review of i had my collection back.
★★★★ Cory Levos 4/9/2026 v1.5.0
Total waste of time. Completely worthless. Won't let you do anything unless you pay. Wasted a half hour trying to get a photo of one card to test it and couldn't do it. Looking at other reviews I can see that this is a great app not to install. Would give negative stars if I could.
★★★★ Thomas Friese Jr. 4/9/2026 v1.5.0
It is labeled a TCG card scanner, and during the setup, they only asked about sports cards.
★★★★ randy witherspoon 4/8/2026 v1.5.0
forces you to get a subscription
★★★★ Eric Green 4/8/2026 v1.5.0
should not have to pay money to take a picture of a card and an ai to guess how much itll be worth or what the grade is when the ai could be very very wrong
★★★★ Justin Thomas 4/6/2026 v1.5.0
they should tell you up front you have to sign up for a monthly fee before you can do anything
★★★★ Ken Fett 4/5/2026 v1.5.0
forcing you to buy a subscription without giving a few free AI analysis to check out the app is not a good way to get people to buy a subscription. also having to crop every picture taken of a card is also annoying. BIG NO for me. Uninstalled.
★★★★ Ivo 4/3/2026 v1.5.0
kinda misleading huh, got a advertisement but nothing states you have to pay to use the tools. next do better with advertising your product and state you have to pay a subscription prior to scanning. all these AI bs are scams just send cards in.
★★★★ Steve Bittick 4/3/2026 v1.5.0
not very accurrate.
★★★★ Akeem Ransome 4/2/2026
Downloaded this to instantly get hit with a subscription pop-up. NO THANK YOU! couldn't even really get through a full process of uploading a card easily without the prompt to subscribe later popping up as well.
★★★★ Todd Gorecki 4/2/2026
anyone can proceed common cards but midrange and high valued cards are way off on value, Uninstalled waisted $6.41 on a worthless app a few trial would have helped me figure out this is trash
★★★★ byeflca SS 4/1/2026 v1.5.0
giving wrong values almost lost big on buying wish I could cancel my subscription total loss of money
★★★★ Troy Griffin 3/30/2026 v1.5.0
price to high for one year
★★★★ Domanik Tenny 3/30/2026 v1.5.0
no *s this app is a scam has anyone found out how to cancel the subscription I've went through everything and still can't figure out how to cancel the paid sub. False advertisement at its finest....
★★★★ David De Jesus 3/30/2026

★★★★ Bruce Lott 3/30/2026

★★★★ Robert love 3/28/2026 v1.5.0

★★★★ Fred White 3/28/2026 v1.5.0

★★★★ Dan Christopher 3/27/2026
Can't add cards to your collection without paying for their AI slop
★★★★ David 3/24/2026 v1.5.0
1ST edition Charizard PSA GRADED 9.0 is worth around $65K correct this app says it's worth $30. ILLUSTRATOR edition Pikachu PSA GRADED 7.0 is worth about $250K to $300K this app value is $14 Beckett GRADED 10.0 Micheal Jordan RC value is $250K. this app is like eBay price guide says it's worth $9.99 what do you people think. 1963 TRANSOGRAM RICK MONDAY STATUE UNOPENED CARD UNCUT THIS APP SAYS WORTH $9 MY EBAY PAGE 14 BIDS 23 WATCHERS $73 with 1 day left so can't trust this BS Ai software.
★★★★ William K Adkins 3/24/2026 v1.5.0
it sucks they took a year subscription I did not even know then they took monthly charges as well . they have no way to be contacted to ask for a refund they are horrible and Google is no help as well.oʻ
★★★★ Travis Crouch 3/22/2026 v1.5.0
dont wast donload unless plan m to spend 40 $
★★★★ jeremy sheley 3/20/2026 v1.5.0
It's grading is both slow and inaccurate guesses. PSA 10's were grading 7-8's...most the time the grading numbers felt random. Also the value is wildly inaccurate...waste of $6...should have read reviews first!
★★★★ Kev M 3/20/2026 v1.5.0
Don't even offer a free version to see if someone actually likes your product like all the other AI card scanners 👎
★★★★ Eric Gentry 3/20/2026
never the real price of the cards
★★★★ Jason Stocksdale 3/20/2026 v1.4.9
This app is awful. It is incredibly inaccurate. An instant regret for subscripting for a year. You will completely waste your time scanning a bunch of cards, and more importantly your money as it requires a monthly or yearly subscription to use. Do not fall for this false advertisement.
★★★★ g&k Wessel 3/20/2026 v1.5.0
says free but it is not
★★★★ Alex Wheaton 3/19/2026
you need a subscription for this app. there's plenty of free apps to look up cards. I'd never recommend someone pay for this "service". and I used service generously.
