Thank you. ### 3/5 — Good but... *2026-08-09, version 2.1.1* Firstly, I feel some of my cards are being under valued. Second, the premium I much more stacked than the free version. I understand the free version has some cool features, but not nearly enough to be half as good as the premium. Third, japanese cards are so over valued. Japanese cards are meant to be worse than english, but one of my card's japanese counter parts is nearly EIGHT TIMES THE VALUE!!! This final note is a request. Please make a feature where you can check a card's condition. It will improve the app for me and many others P.S. If you add the feature, please moahe it free and unlimited. ### 5/5 — Review *2026-07-31, version 2.0.3* I’ve just started and it was quite nice👍 ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-30, version 2.0.3* Very good app ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-30, version 2.0.3* This is the best pokemone app ever pls give me it for free ### 5/5 — Super easy super fun *2026-07-27, version 2.0.3* I’ve tried all of them. This one had a lot of information. Super easy to use. ### 5/5 — La mejor opción *2026-07-26, version 2.0.3* Me encanta esta app.Es perfecta para saber acerca de mi colección ### 5/5 — User friendly *2026-07-22, version 2.0.3* So far seems to be a great app for ease and info ### 1/5 — Not great *2026-07-22, version 2.0.3* This app is just Dex but worse, and more expensive, if you want a good app to catalog your cards, use Dex ### 5/5 — amazing *2026-07-21, version 2.0.3* this app lets me track prices easier and faster ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No aparecen mis cartas *2026-08-13, version 2.1.1* Tengo muchas cartas antiguas en japonés que no aparecen en la app y solo aparecen en inglés ### 1/5 — Dont get only 1 use *2026-08-08, version 2.1.1* So it will only let you scan 1 card until it you tell you to pay to see more cards ### 1/5 — Not Free *2026-08-05, version 2.1.1* Sucks you in with a Cool scanner then as soon as you go to continue makes you pay and no more scanner. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-02, version 2.1* U have to pay I’m broke that’s why I’m buying cards now I’m broke ### 1/5 — Farsa *2026-07-30* Deu a entender que havia a possibilidade de uso grátis do app, pediu avaliação e só após expôs que era tudo pago e caríssimo ### 1/5 — L app *2026-07-29, version 2.0.3* Gotta pay for the features. ### 1/5 — This is the worst app ever even it could not even scan my cousins card and the dang camera *2026-07-28, version 2.0.3* 1 star ### 1/5 — Doesn’t actually scan cards *2026-07-27, version 2.0.3* I was so looking forward to this app, but unfortunately you can only scan cards if you pay for pro! ### 1/5 — scam *2026-07-27, version 2.0.3* This is my first time trying this application, and there is a gift for a 3 day free trial, then 7.99 a week. Well upon trying to redeem the free trial, it is trying to charge my card 13.99. ### 1/5 — Scam und funktioniert nicht *2026-07-22* Schon bei der Demo gleich am Anfang. Wenn man das Tutorial macht, hat es bei mir keine einzige Karte gescannt. Ich finde es sehr schade dass es so schlecht funktioniert. Dann hab ich gedacht vielleicht liegt es nur an der Demo und wollte es direkt testen doch habe gesehen, um die Karten zu scannen, muss man neun Euro pro Monat zahlen. Das ist echt unverschämt. Wahrscheinlich dann noch Scam wenn du drei Tage kostenlos machst und dann vergiss das Abo zu kündigen wird dir was abgebucht. **Developer response:** Hi Schnozee, thanks for trying Acorn. The weekly plan is intended for short-term use, while the annual plan offers significant savings. I also offer a one-time Lifetime purchase for collectors who prefer to avoid subscriptions, as well as a free trial. Acorn can also be used for free with limited daily scans, card browsing, and collection tracking. I build and maintain the app independently, and Premium helps cover the continuously updated card database, market prices, scanner, cloud sync, and ongoing development. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-08-16, version 2.1.1* Excelente ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-16, version 2.1.1* Easy and quick ### 5/5 — excelente app *2026-08-12, version 2.1.1* Muy padre la app, no creí que te diera toda la información necesaria para aprender más ### 5/5 — Not sure how accurate this is *2026-08-09, version 2.1.1* First card I scanned the PSA 10 prices came up wrong ### 5/5 — Wish it could read simplified Chinese *2026-08-08, version 2.1.1* I love this app!!
