i’ve been using the app for a while now - over a year - and it has gotten better. but, there are some things that i just can’t move past (literally). the 500 card limit is ridiculous - i had over 1000 cards in my collection and i’m now stuck. i don’t use this app for selling, i am just trying to quite literally keep track of my collection. i would totally be willing to pay something like a one time $10 thing even just for being able to put unlimited cards - i don’t need monthly credit or featured listings, as i don’t use it lol. however, manually being able to put it card information is a life saver. i had so many cards unidentified due to it not being able to find them and now i can FINALLY have them properly logged. this app is getting better but i just can’t help but feel annoyed at the limitations. again, i would totally pay a one time fee for unlimited collecting, i hope that is something y’all would consider in the future cause this app is definitely one of a kind, nothing like it and it has so much potential - it just shouldn’t be shoved behind a paywall.
I have a hard time trying to scan in my collection on a daily basis. As an individual who chases along with collects I always have more cards that pile up to be scanned. The biggest issue with this is, the app doesn’t recognize the card, and even worse when you search for the card it doesn’t exist in the system and these are 2023 football cards. Some type of data base expansion needs to be made connecting with eBay or the manufactures to help this connection. Also when you do get cards to scan 75% of the time it’s the wrong variation, this adds additional time to go and find the correct variation. And the last complaint is the price averages. You will scan an older comman card and the app stays it’s avg value is $150, then you look on eBay or google and it’s going for $1.00.
🔥 If you haven’t downloaded this app, do it now! CollX is not only the best way to scan in all of those sports cards you’ve been holding on to for years but it will also provide you the value of those cards! Do you know what is even better? There are other sellers, just like you, who might have just the card you are looking for to complete that personal collection! Word to wise - Submit your profile to become a “Pro”. It’s a small monthly fee of $10 and you end up getting what you pay each month, right back for credit to use towards more cards! With the Pro status, there are many perks including how many cards you can upload! If you need that extra side hustle, this is it! By far my favorite hobby turned into an app!
I don’t do any buying or selling, just use the app to catalog my player and vintage collections so when I go to card shows I know what I already own. It works great for that but I have a few issues. One is that the app constantly incorrectly identifies cards. I get that modern cards have a crazy amount of variations, but I can scan a base card and it thinks it’s a rare variant, which then makes cataloging take much longer when I have to manually change almost every card I scan. I especially find it frustrating when scanning vintage baseball cards. For example I scanned a 1959 Topps Willie Mays, front and back of card, and the app thought it was a reprint from 1994. This happens very regularly and I’m not sure why.
The next issue I came across was that I wanted to retake some of my photos with better lighting. I hit edit on a card and chose retake photos and updated them. Did this on a bunch of cards and then came to find all the old photos were back. Kept trying to replace again and taking yet again new photos, and same thing happened. Only thing to solve the issue was to delete the card from my collection and add it fresh again, but because of the above issue with the app not choosing the right card, I have to manually correct it. This becomes extremely frustrating cause the app is great in concept but several issues keep it from being a go to and I will need to rethink subscribing to the pro tier until these issues can be ironed out.
While inheriting a large amount of junk wax era sports cards I was beginning to burn out trying to figure out what was worth it and what wasn’t. Being able to scan my cards and see what the average is at for eBay/CollX purchases. Helped tremendously on being able to isolate on certain players, it wasn’t long after adding some cards I grabbed the pro version because space became an issue quick. With pro it gave me wayyyyy more space for cards and a $10 credit to use on CollX for ANY CARDS. The app may have some bugs here and there but they’re updating the app almost weekly or if there becomes an issue they’re extremely quick to fix it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS APP TO ANY NEW OR SEASONED VET IN THE CARD COLLECTING HOBBY.

We're thrilled to hear that you're finding value in the CollX app and that it's helping you manage your inherited collection. It's great to know that the scanning feature and the additional space provided by the Pro version are making your card sorting process easier. We're committed to continuously improving the app and addressing any issues promptly. Thank you for your recommendation and for being a part of the CollX community!I started using this app recently.. yes the scanner is frustrating and yes you do have to search the cards and enter them manually. I will say this I still can post more cards in a day on the CollX app quicker than any other platform.. a couple hours on other platforms and I’d be lucky to get 75 listing.. on CollX I can post hundreds a day, even entering the information manually.. prices are still wrong, but that why I reference sold listings on other platforms and match the prices.. Selling on the platform for a week and got 100 sales already, not counting the bundled up orders. Still plenty of room for this app to grow and be phenomenal, just gotta have patience with the process.
Collx Pro is also very worth the subscription allowing unlimited listing and the monthly $10 credit comes in handy. I absolutely love my collx pro subscription

I think this is one of the coolest apps out there and really awesome for the trading card game. One thing I do hope in the future as they grow, they can have a more streamlined way reporting and removing scammers. I have been on the site for only about a week and have ran into around 6 to 10 accounts trying to, not do payment over the app and upon selling a card These scammers will try to get you to send them money initially to “connect the accounts”. Pretty easy to catch but I have reported all of them and I continue to see that they’re live on the app probably scamming other people I would just think an app that will lean on AI would be able to recognize anybody trying to do a payment outside of the application and in my opinion, it should be an instant band because the reality is doesn’t make money if you are doing payment outside of it so I thought it would be for them to hammer down on this.

I had used this app a little when it first come out.I kind of put off scanning all my cards since I have a large number of them. I now have a large amount of free time so I decided to try to scan some of them. I get to about 20 cards scanned in my collection and everything was fine but I get to a Randy Moss card, it scans fine, but when I try to upload it, it gives me an error message. I try to scan it again and then it acts like it doesn’t recognize the card it just recognized and makes me manually look it up. When I try to upload it, the same error message pops up. I had to try 5 times before it would go into my collection. However, now, it’s doing the same thing to pretty much every card I do, even though it was literally working 10 mins before this happened. I get off the app to calm myself by doomscrolling and you know what the first ad I get is? It’s a CollX ad. I just wanted to know how you guys could spend money on tik tok ads but don’t seem to have a functioning app, thanks though for the game to play too while I wait an hour for a singular scan to load when I could’ve just googled it.
I've recently started using the CollX app, and I'm already loving it! Every week or two, there's a new update with exciting and helpful features. It's the best platform I've found in terms of ease of use and functionality, and the community aspect is fantastic. The social features allow me to engage with buyers and sellers, making the experience even better.
I'm considering becoming a CollX PRO member because the perks and advantages sound amazing. The CollX team continually adds benefits that increase the exposure of Pro members' card listings and introduce fun, useful tools. One of the standout perks is that CollX Pro members receive $10 in "CollX credits" every month to spend on other users' cards, which makes the membership very appealing.
I can't wait to see what new features the app will introduce in the future. Happy Colling, everyone!
