Garbage. Incomplete set list. Bad matching.
so bad. charge for scans! really!? and database is weak, doesn't even do Japanese pokemon cards!
This app is dogwater. It literally can't tell the difference between card rarities, much less provide an accurate grade estimation. Don't bother wasting your time here.
junk cant even test the grading experience with out paying a subscription fee
terrible. and expensive. don't waste your time on this app.
App was GREAT at first! Recently the search function for One Piece has been completely broken. Used to be able to search by number in bottom right corner of card and exact card would pop up. Now for example, if I search OP13-033 a bunch of random OP13 cards pop up and I have to scroll at seemingly random to find the card. Scanning function is just as broken and you end up having to manually search for your card. I have almost 3,000 cards scanned in this app. Hope this is fixed soon
everything is bad, don't buy the subscription for ai grading it works horribly. a better option would be shiny
Asks you to review it during initial startup. A huge red flag on the creator, then the biggest thing I saw on ads was the AI grading and it saying the app was free. you can't even use AI grading unless you pay for a subscription. just charge for the app up front with unlimited use.
This app basically requires you to pay for the upgraded pro plan. And it is not worth it. The prices they give for cards are incorrect, and a lot of the time, cards that are scanned pull up the wrong card. This app is not good.
I had to restart my portfolio 3 times it it shut down not saving so I'm no longer going to use
So sick of these subscriptions. Didn't even let me get into the app before asking for a review. Here you go, enjoy.
I have tried to make an account on this app multiple times, autofill with my google email, manually put in my details and it won't even let me make an account, constantly gives me error 803, "connection terminated" and "unexpected error", very frustrating
trash dookie
I'd rather pay a fixed price than buy a subscription. you would own nothing and be happy
pay for more scans. No thanks
It had so much potential but 34,35 scans for free if your out pay?like hello y
paywall for scanning? there are better apps out there that are not this predatory.
don't want to pay
the first simple scan got the wrong card version and between the other 10 matching cards there is no the correct one... it was a wailord without the middle right very big trainer yellow/red rect... it was so simple to recognize...
asking for a rating before ive even made my user name
pay for what. garbage
will not allow you to download your collection as a simple text file. even in the paid for version.
Only 30 free scans before they want you to pay. There are numerous free options for TCG card scanning, don't waste your time or money here.
traaaaash
they make you pay for the Ai grading all the commercials are bull where they make it seem free. scammers!
doesn't recognise Chinese cards, scans are mostly inaccurate
bad for a paid app being able to scan cards is nice, rare candy does this for free. the worst thing is changing the condition of the card doesn't change the price, unlock the rare candy app. for a paid app, this app is trash.
actually annoying. gotten good reviews online then tried to ai scan grade it but you need a membership for it. Kind of a scam if you think about it when you watch the adds
App runs slow and does lag here and there but the major thing I had was App all of a sudden stopped working? It logged me out and when I tried to log back in with my google account it wouldn't let me log in so I cleared the cache, didnt work, uninstall and reinstall and still work won't its just broken
Scan quality was horrible so half the time I needed to manually look up my cards and even then it wasn't letting me add them into my portfolio. That and the monthly fee is ridiculous for something so simple.
The app mis-scanned many cards and values don't match the market.
The database for Magic the Gathering is rather weak and incomplete, having to click to scan for every card is a hassle when trying to scan large amounts of cards. The scanner without fail gets the set wrong and marks every card as a hollowfoil. It is nice being able to seperate collections though as I've used the app to scan MTG and Pokemon.
