    So the app is really cool and everything I actually found out I had a $68 card which I am very glad about. But that is not why I am making this review. For some reason, most of the time when I scanned my cards, everything was fine. But then one night when I was done scanning cards and woke up next morning to scan more cards, every time I scan a card, it would say error every time. I know all I have to do is search up the card and I’m good, but now I can’t scan any card without looking it up. My lighting is good and the car is registered but I don’t get it. Please help
  • Needs lots of work on entering/managing collection

    Unless I’m missing the help file—which I couldn’t find—entering a collection is a nightmare: no way to import, no way to select an entire set to enter all the cards for that set at once. Likewise collection management is very limited: no way to edit multiple cards at once, no way to view missing cards of a set, no way to view duplicates, no way to filter collection (show me all cards valuing over $50), etc.
    I don’t see how these people with 20,000 plus collections has the time to enter them all… entering manually without scanning, and being very efficient still takes a minimum of maybe five seconds per card. So for 20,000 cards that’s over 277 hours.!??
  • My first review was wrong this is the app you want if you have cards to sell or are looking to buy

    It takes a few extra days for money to come thru after completing sales , but after doing my research, that’s pretty much the case anywhere else using a platform like this. My original review I was irritated and annoyed and now a few days later I admit I was wrong because this app does exactly what it says it will do and not only that but there are experienced users who are dedicated to helping you get sales In the beginning, or giving you tips on how to get sales if your having trouble. In a month I’ve made 7 sales already and made a total of close to $100. Can’t wait to scan the rest of my cards and get more sales. This is by far the best of buy sell trade card collecting apps. Easy to use. Give it a shot, scan some cards and make some money. Easy. Thanks for your help CollX
  • Liking it so far, but a couple suggestions

    I’m liking this app so far. I’ve started adding my cards to my collection. A couple of reasons why I didn’t give it five stars, that maybe the developers can look into adding in future versions… 1) it would be nice if there was a way you can add all the cards from a set. The only way I’ve found currently is adding them individually, which takes forever; and 2) it would be nice as you are adding cards to your collection if the app would notify you that you already have that particular card in your collection and that you are about to add a duplicate.
  • Bringing the Card Community Together

    I have a couple of things I could complain about, but as an ambassador I’m nosey and don’t like not knowing what I’m representing. My personal issues are in the process of being taken care of. My biggest love for this app and the people behind it, is simply because they have managed to take an industry that was headed into the trash with the way people were treating each other, over pricing and lowballing on legit prices. They have managed to pull people from all different areas together for one common goal and that’s the love of the community. If I open a pack or a box and pull something major….we want to see the guy next to us or a new guy we met on the app do the exact same thing!!!! It’s all about the love of collecting different types of cards. Check em out!!! If you collect any type of cards you gotta get on this!!!
  • Follow Up

    I just wrote a review & stated a few days ago I was asked to update my app once again & this has several times now within a month. I wasn’t going to do this update because it seems like every time I update the app just continues to get worse & cannot find a single card I try to scan now! It said the update would help with any problems scanning cards. Well I ended up trying for the absolute last time & nothing has changed! I’ve had to look up every single card I’ve entered, this used to be a fun app & now it’s just becoming a pain to have to type in every player & # and search for things that sometimes I’m not sure what I’m searching for when there’s 20 different ones to choose from ,especially if they’re newer cards and there’s no pictures of them.
  • Here’s the thing…

    Great idea, poor execution

    The idea of the app is wonderful and it’s so easy to scan your cards and input them when the app actually WORKS! It usually crashes every couple minutes and it’s not a device issue because I’ve done this with a couple newer electronics. When you look at any other successful trade carding app it’s easy to see how bad the interfaces are compared to this one. This app has the most potential out of all of them but it unfortunately isn’t utilized correctly. I hope with more updates it can work a little bit better but for now it needs some more fixing.
  • Inaccurate pricing

    I really like this app with one major exception. The value of cards is inaccurate. The data pulled for card values is often old and there is more up to date data available. Additionally, it may show card value, last sold price or avg for a selected grade and you can not toggle between those so you can have a standard way of logging info for your collection.
    Ultimately this is a great way of cataloging you collection jus be aware your collection value will not be as accurate as it should be. Mayne add a way for you to input card value and source if a discrepancy is found vs just being able to send a report to the company.
  • Pricing is untrustworthy

    I’ve used cataloguing apps for my Magic collection that scans cards mostly accurately and allows you to select which marketplace to use for pricing, along with Low, Mid, and Market values. I’ve been away from sports cards for a while but wanted to scan and inventory my large collection for insurance purposes.

    This app is easy to use for scanning, though I think it’s image database to match cards too is very incomplete, especially when it comes to matching variants/parallels. I have to manually correct it.

    I think it’d also be helpful if there was serial # data in the listing options (let’s say you have the variant serial #d to 100 but all the listing options look almost the same) so you can make sure you’re matching it to the correct version.

    I also noticed that is relies on eBay pricing, which can be super unreliable, especially if certain cards don’t make it onto eBay or sellers price their cards at “asking for” prices vs “sold for” and their asking price might actually be for a more rare version of that card (incorrectly listed). So you’re $2 card might incorrectly be valued at $200 because of wrong listings from eBay.

    I wish there was a more accurate or relatable way to price cards (maybe pull pricing from more than one source), or a better filtering process. I know things can only get better, though! So I’m hopeful!
  • Lacking a Lot

    The camera feature is grainy and doesn’t have a flash function or editing—it also doesn’t allow importing of photos. The “estimated price” can be ignored, as it is baseless and nearly 100% inaccurate through my first 300 cards. Also, out of those 300 cards, I have had to manually enter 295 of them, because the app doesn’t recognize them. Maybe it’s because they are modern cards, but either way it is very time consuming to use this app. It seems to have very little competition, so I’ll use it for now, but there is a lot of work to do in order to make this anything more than a digital card collection album.
