  • App freezes & crashes

    Nice app, great concept, but it freezes often and crashes every time you try to save a scanned card. Also, when a card is not found you are supposed to be able to search for it and update the correct info but that feature is not working right now. And it seems to fail to upload at least one of the cards every other batch (on fast, stable wifi), which is too often…they should have an auto-retry mechanism built-in.

    For the wish list I love how it shows me my collections but I would like to have more options to share and sell collections, and to make my own adhoc collections.
  • Slow & app won’t stay open

    Got this app and thought this is pretty sweet. Started scanning in cards with ease. Now this app takes forever to scan a card even duplicates where one card scans and the other exact card doesn’t. Go to put cards in my account and the app shuts down and I lose all the cards I just put in. Happen to me 4 times with the same 15 cards. Please update this app. Needs to be faster at loading the cards on account and not shut down and we lose all the cards we scanned but didn’t get to put in account.
  • Keeps signing me out and crashing

    This app was great until the most recent update. Now I can’t even add any cards because soon as I start scanning the app signs me out or crashes and I lose whatever items that were in the process of scanning. Please update and fix this bug soon
  • This app is horrible and a scam

    I got this app and thought that it would be a great place to find the value of my cards. I had about 1750 cards and spent hours and hours of getting the cards all into the app. Lost a lot of time when I could’ve done something else.

    I had a couple of good cards that were apparently worth about 50 cents. Other cards that had 100 CARDS in a mega pack for 40 dollars were about 7 dollars each.

    I also had two prism cards, Christian McCaffrey and Deshaun Watson be 450 and 980 dollars but in reality you could get them for 2-3 dollars. Also most of the time it guesses the wrong card. You either have to search up the card to get it or have to edit which wastes more time.

    A VERY big time consumer. DO NOT GET!! If I could give this a 0 star I would do it. Makes me really not want to collect cards anymore.
  • Follow up

    I recently submitted a review about how bad the newest update is. I love the IDEA of the app, and when it works right, it’s spectacular. The issue is, it almost never works right. It never recognizes newer inserts, which would be fine if the “search for card” function worked but it doesn’t. When searching, you either get infinite loading, or if you happen to find your card, when you select it, it sends you back to the card screen and still says that the card couldn’t be found. Also, I get that there’s tons of card variations, but there are some variations in which, every other card from the set seems to be in the database aside from the one you are searching. For example, 2021 Panini Playbook Zoning Commission. I have the Aaron Jones card, when searching for it, no matter what key words I use or even the ZC-AJO card “#” it shows every card in the set aside from this one. How can you have a full checklist but then just not have some in the system?! This has happened on multiple occasions, this is just the most recent example. Like I said, I LOVE the Idea of the app. The execution on it has just been mediocre. Prices are also all over the place. It should really pull from eBay recent sell or something so we can get accurate pricing.
  • Great App with a ton of bugs.

    I want to state that there really isn’t another app like this on the market that lets you scan, trade, sell, follow others and make connections for all things trading. It is an extremely deep app with everything that you can do with it.

    However, it is buggy. I would say every 6 cards that you scan and upload, they can’t find and doing it manually usually never works. So I close and have to restart the process. The app will also default to more exotic versions of pretty straightforward cards (ie, Canadian or O Peech ee versions of standard Topps cards.)

    The biggest issue I have is that I get logged out of the app probably 10 times an hour. That is not an exaggeration. I’m on 1g U/D speeds and I test the connection every time it happens. Nothing unusual on my end.

    I did find that if I wait for all processes to finish before moving on to the next one, it works as it should, but that’s not how an app should work in 2022. Real-time should be standard.

    I complain because I believe in the app. Seriously, what it does at its core is amazing. Scan, find price, organize and sell on different platforms? I’ve been on other apps that do less than a fraction if that and it’s free? Dude.

    I will (highly) recommend this with the criticisms I’ve laid out. Once these bugs get fixed this will be the industry standard going forward. I’m pumped.
  • Boots you off

    Lots of potential for this app. I have not found a card that is not in their database no matter how old or obscure, except for really new cards that just may not have been added yet. The only down side is that I have 500 cards and when I try to scroll through them I get booted off about quarter of the way through
  • Great concept, frustrating amount of bugs

    I’m super impressed with the accuracy of the scanning tool, been able to upload many cards quickly and get an idea of what they’re worth.

    Unfortunately there are just too many bugs that make it consistently difficult to use. Multiple times I’ll have scanned a batch of cards and all of a sudden the app crashes or logs me out, losing all progress. Multiple crashes when searching through your current collection. Searching for a card when the scanner doesn’t identify it doesn’t allow you to select it, you usually have to delete the scan and reupload later. Once these bugs are ironed out, this will be the premier sports card tracking app, I hope to be able to sell some cards on here too!
  • Glitching

    I’ve been using this app for 3-4 months now and it’s been great. After this most recent update (awesome by the way, only needing to scan the front of the card), it’s been acting up. I constantly get booted out of the app, it’s freezing after the 3rd, or 4th card I scan and/or it will ask me to sign in again after the app is open for only a few minutes. Lastly, the wrong cards keep appearing after scans. I’ll scan a 2021 Contenders Tom Brady (just an example) and it will say it’s Nick Bosa. App will give me other variants but, none of them are close. This has happened with older cards as well. I was thinking maybe it’s just a glitch with newer cards. Other then that, it’s a solid app and pretty accurate for the most part.
  • Great Potential, Needs a lot of Work

    I love the idea of this app but unfortunately the more I use it the worse it gets. I’ve spent all weekend trying to scan my collection of valuable cards into the app and I’ve been averaging about 2-3 successful scans before the app totally crashes, or loads forever and doesn’t recognize a card, or logs me out. And even worse than these issues, over the last day or two, I take a picture of my card to scan in, and it uploads a completely different picture than the card I tried uploading and the card doesn’t end up making it to my collection even though on my profile page it says I added the card. I love the thought of this app and hope it runs smoothly someday. As of now it’s frustrating to say the least.
