Can’t even get into App
The app is cool, when it works, every time I open the app it tries to make me purchase a subscription, which i don’t need. And then if i try to do anything else it just sits and spins with the phrase “Checking Subscription”
Download. Pay. Delete.
Not working on Apple. Freezes on the store check in screen every time. Maybe don’t charge for it until your app works properly. Sad the FB posts you put up stating how great this is versus the alternative AI based app is baseless and false. I will stick to the old school way of managing my inventory and hunting manually. Sad to see this. I had high hopes.
The most worst scam ever
U are forced to sign up then can’t even use services as it immediately throws you into a premium offer once canceling the offer the loading bar doesn’t go away forcing u in a loop or forced to buy premium without even using the app the most SH* APP I’ve ever seen
Values aren’t accurate
Uses eBay sold listings. For 9.99 a month.
PAYWALL
no go. seems like another junk app. you’re telling me i gotta PAY? i mean there’s other ways to find hot wheels in general that are much better and easier
Paywall and scalper focused
Tried it out after seeing a dozen posts on it on Facebook. The dude used to shill post to get users to join. The concept seems cool from the posts but it’s a $3 PER MONTH paywall as soon as you log in. I tried to trial run seems ok but very much aimed at scalpers not really for collectors. I’ve told the creator a few constructive criticism on his posts but he has now blocked me and has PMed me saying he’s trying to build something for the community which in my opinion seems to be more of the scalper community. Wrote this review so I hope he sees it and hope he messages me back and unblocks me so we can have the “debate” he wanted there. Overall 1/5 stars.
Stops working
App keeps freezing or wanting me to buy the next level up option for a profile. When you click no or close the prompt, it tries to load a subscription but can’t and then stays on a fuzzy page until you close the app. I have to remove the app every 20 minutes, and reinstall just to update or explorer the app.
Clunky and greedy
Awful experience, took 5 min to enter password and then got paywall that stuck. Don’t recommend.
Not accurate
Bought subscription yesterday cancelled it today says still active till the end of month but the app doesn’t let have full access anymore even though I paid for the month also first got wheel I scanned didn’t register correctly rlc 83 Silverado greenie going for $2500 was marked at 300 which prompted me to cancel subscription beware this app doesn’t work correctly at all
Misleading App
App does not “track” inventory data unless a user uploads it himself, which is misleading and doesn’t work. I would recommend implementing an open source website c+ or python script to monitor stock at stores near certain users. There are no updates on stores near me, which renders the app useless.
