### 3/5 — cant ship when having pending offers

*2026-08-16, version 3.192.0*

cant ship when having pending offers

### 3/5 — Hmm

*2026-08-04, version 3.191.0*

Great for comps but recently tapping between different grades doesn’t work and comps aren’t coming up. Strange!

### 3/5 — Decent

*2026-07-21, version 3.191.0*

Half the time doesnt load any comps and recent comps take a while to post

### 4/5 — Please add TAG 🙏

*2026-07-11, version 3.190.0*

Great app in all aspects and their commitment to continually improve. Just can’t give it a 5 star until they can add TAG grading to the scanning function as well! (Please add soon TAG customer service :D)

### 3/5 — Language filter

*2026-07-05, version 3.188.0*

Crazy how this app doesnt have a language filter. So tired of looking up a card and i see 10 sales of the same Japanese card.

### 4/5 — 4 stars

*2026-06-30, version 3.188.0*

It’s great I just don’t like how it doesn’t do raw cards

### 2/5 — Get better auctions

*2026-06-12, version 3.184.0*

The auctions are silly it says it ends at 9 but 10 to 12 hours later at finally end fix THE GLITCH ALT IT IS SO BAD FIX IT NOW IN THE NEXT UPDATE OR MAKE THE AUCTIONS LONGER

### 2/5 — Not working as good as it used to be

Doesn’t pick up recent sales as much as it used to

### 4/5 — App is great butt

*2026-06-09, version 3.184.0*

They need to add more than just psa,bgs, cgc.  We need tag and others added!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worst Auction house in the business

*2026-07-31, version 3.191.0*

Absolute disaster of a place. You will lose thousands of dollars by sending your cards to them. I advise anyone and everyone to not do so. I had offers for my cards twice as much as what my cards sold for at their auction. I was convinced to do so by their vip rep whom i met at a card show. Biggest mistake i’ve ever made. DO NOT USE ALT TO AUCTION YOUR CARDS! only use them to buy as you’ll be able to literally steal them. Absolute Joke of a place.

### 1/5 — Do not know how to take a photo when it says take a photo when you scan it!

*2026-07-07, version 3.188.0*

Not great

### 1/5 — So bad

*2026-06-20, version 3.185.0*

I sold cards and they lost them terrible

### 1/5 — Be aware

*2026-06-17, version 3.185.0*

Please don’t use this app if you grade cards yourself, you will lose money. I wasn’t aware that bids start so low and I’m unable to pull my submitted cards from auction. Unless you have cards worth thousands, stay away from this app and use eBay instead.

### 1/5 — Updates

*2026-06-14, version 3.185.0*

Updates every single day are incredibly annoying. There shouldn’t be this many “bugs”, and updates alone.

### 1/5 — Lost psa cards

*2026-05-31, version 3.182.0*

Sent to 5 of my psa graded cards worth $2500 to $3500 on a good day be auctioned off and they didn’t make it, but I take screenshots of everything and usps says they misdelivered them but they suck helping after I used there shipping label and there insurance

### 1/5 — stole my $, deleted my account, and never sent cards

*2026-05-29, version 3.181.0*

i bought a /10 brock bowers and a psa 10 rookie burrow for roughly 120 and woke up a few days later to my account being deleted and after contacting support which lead to weeks of waiting for a reply i was told they lost the cards company is a scam and a joke

### 1/5 — 20 percent way too much for buyer’s premium.

*2026-05-26, version 3.181.0*

Couldn’t comprehend the buyer’s premium. Thought my bid would be for the card - the buyer’s premium is in light gray when I placed bid - not highlighted to tell you the you have to pay this much 20 percent extra if you win a bid. Couldn’t even cancel.

### 1/5 — Last “update” made the app constantly glitch

*2026-05-23, version 3.180.0*

The app was working completely fine until I updated it yesterday. Now I can’t even scroll down to see the averages and recent sales when I click an item. It’s just nothing below the picture..PLEASE FIX!!

### 1/5 — Removes Sales

*2026-05-07, version 3.178.0*

Just use ebay

### 5/5 — All in one Stop for Pokemon

One App is all you need and ALT is that 1 App

### 5/5 — I love ALT

*2026-08-05, version 3.191.0*

Easy to use 🔥

### 5/5 — Atl

*2026-07-31, version 3.191.0*

Very good

### 5/5 — Best Auction House of 2026

*2026-07-23, version 3.191.0*

ALT has everything you want from an auction house and nothing you don’t. Fast and reliable service and seller friendly support make it a breeze to list on ALT.  This will be my “go-to” auction site from now on!

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-07-15, version 3.190.0*

Much needed app for a collector

### 5/5 — Alt is a must

*2026-07-10, version 3.189.0*

Guys, this has literally been the best experience across all platforms. Fast, fair, and great communication. If you’re not using Alt, you gotta give it a try. Feels like the reach is only growing and marketing keeps getting better and better. Wish I would have given this a shot sooner but glad I’m here now! Hope to land some bigger cards in the future to see just how far this thing can go. Thanks to all the Alt team for their professionalism and user friendly app.

### 5/5 — Best free app to comp cards

*2026-06-29, version 3.185.0*

Genuinely the best free app to comp cards. Some things they’re better at than paid ones. Showing current listing is very nice. I wish I could compare or search multiple cards like a tab.

### 5/5 — Amazing Free option over CLPRO

*2026-05-19, version 3.180.0*

App is very easy to use and learn. Showing active listing on multiple platforms really set ALT a head over other reference apps.

### 5/5 — Good selling and buying app

*2026-05-19, version 3.180.0*

Sold some cards on this app and was happy with the cash advance and final sale. Love that it doesn’t cost anything to sell on here! Also great for some rare finds on some awesome cards! Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-04-08, version 3.178.0*

Game changing platform!
