Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

Not correct

★★ · v1.12.0 · Oct 9, 2026

I have a card worth 45000 but it said it was 0.50

I tried it out because I got a bunch of card and I had a 7 day trial but there is no where to unsubscribe.

Weird

★ · v1.12.0 · Oct 3, 2026

It only let me scan three cards

Not Accurate

★★ · v1.12.0 · Sep 29, 2026

It’s not good at reading the cards or scanning them. Too much money for what they offer

It’s wrong

★ · v1.12.0 · Sep 28, 2026

It’s the detail is incorrect and the values are also incorrect

Stupid app

★ · v1.12.0 · Sep 27, 2026

Just let me scan my dam cards

SCAM- Don’t waste your time/money

★ · v1.12.0 · Sep 25, 2026

If you scan the same card in 3 times, you will get 3 WILDLY different results. And I don’t mean a little different… scanned in a Bo Nix Future Stars card that yielded the results of: $2.99 2009 Steph Curry Card, $49.99 2024 Bo Nix Future Stars & $5.00 2024 Ken Griffey Jr. I have tested this with over 30 cards. I was very intentional to make sure the scans were the same exact picture/quality to not skew results. SCAM

completely off

★ · v1.12.0 · Sep 23, 2026

there were some cards where they were pretty accurate (between 10-20 bucks off) but some cards were ridiculously bad. i went to a card shop with a card but before i went i scanned it on this app. it says 500$ 😁😁 i was thinking i could cash out and be so successful… but no. the card guy offered me 3$ and showed me comps. 😞

Scam

★ · v1.11.1 · Sep 23, 2026

Bad

Does not work..

★ · v1.11.1 · Sep 21, 2026

I have scanned multiple cards now 1 says it’s worth 750 another 250 both are going on eBay for around $2-$6. The scanner does not do its job well at all and it also doesn’t give you any references to where they even got that value. Like last sold or nothing. Absolutely would not recommend this app unless u want to spend countless hours scanning cards just to find out there probably not the actual value displayed.

Not right cards

★★ · v1.11.1 · Sep 20, 2026

Every time I scan a card, it gives us the wrong player and it gives us the wrong money inside for the player and it’s weird every time I scan a basketball player count as Michael Jordan $1250

Does provide the correct card during scans

★★ · v1.11.1 · Sep 20, 2026

Tried the same card three times and it wasn’t 100% correct after those attempts

Prices are all over the place

★ · v1.11.1 · Sep 20, 2026

I have scanned the same card multiple times, on multiple plication, and I get different prices each time. Some of it’s a dollar and something and then I scan it again and it’s $35. Both cannot be right.

Not accurate

★ · v1.11.1 · Sep 20, 2026

I would scan a card and it would say it was worth $125 and then I would scan the exact same card again and it would say $9. Not reliable!

Charges you without asking

★ · v1.11.1 · Sep 17, 2026

Took $44 from me when i cancelled the free trial

Wildly Inaccurate

★ · v1.10.1 · Sep 13, 2026

The scanning is quick and great for simply logging a collection. However in terms of properly identifying and valuing it’s not at all accurate. Started with a pack of 2025 Panini NFL cards. More than 40% logged as 2023. That alone meant raw cards that normally go for $1-2 were coming back 10-50x higher.

Signed baseballs

★ · v1.10.1 · Sep 11, 2026

It won’t do signed

Inconsistent

★★ · v1.10.1 · Sep 11, 2026

I can scan the same card 5x and get 5 different results. It’s frustrating when I have a highly valuable card to scan but keep getting the wrong year of the card.

Not accurate

★ · v1.10.0 · Sep 9, 2026

App constantly gets cards wrong, and when it does get the cards correct the price is horribly wrong. I scanned a card that I knew is worth four dollars and it told me it was worth $45. This has happened more than 10 times with different cards. Just google the card. It’s the safer option.

If I could rate it .5 I would

★ · v1.9.0 · Sep 8, 2026

U can only scan like max 10 cards then ur limited and have to pay money monthly to use it past that

Terrible evaluation

★ · v1.9.0 · Sep 6, 2026

Rarely gets condition correct. Always undergrads but overvalues cards

1 star

★ · v1.9.0 · Sep 4, 2026

Way to expensive

Inaccurate

★★ · v1.9.0 · Sep 2, 2026

I get it this app gives you value of cards but it also doesn’t give accurate pricing and scanning. I have only been buying Topps 2026 cards and it’s scanning and reading the cards as if they are rookie cards from 2023. The scanning is very inaccurate with this app.

scam

★ · v1.8.0 · Sep 1, 2026

they bait you into a 1 week trial and charge you for the full year early. The cards aren’t even accurate values

7 day trial and they charged me

★ · v1.8.0 · Aug 28, 2026

Not a great sports card app. Prices are way off of market. I did the free trial and they just auto charged me for the year

The opportunity
