Otherwise not so well. Unidentifiable objects are wild guesses. Not able to add information to the initial scan for example if you scan one plate but you have 14 you would have to rescan the same picture 13 more times. Also doesn’t sync between devices ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-11-12* Doesn’t work. It only scans and says timed out tried several items **Developer response:** We apologize for the frustration. The timeout error is something we are actively working to resolve. Please ensure you are using the latest version of the app and have a stable internet connection. If it still doesn't work, please reach out to us at aabcreativestudio@gmail.com so we can provide a manual fix or further assistance. Thank you for your patience! ### 1/5 — Cancel please *2025-10-27* It works but not just what i want **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear that the app is not quite meeting your expectations. Could you please tell us a bit more about what you were hoping for? Understanding what you're looking for will help us improve. Your detailed feedback is incredibly valuable to us as we continue to develop the app. If you'd prefer, you can also send us a more detailed message at aabcreativestudio@gmail.com. We appreciate you taking the time to help us improve. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2025-09-12, version 1.1.1* F minus ### 1/5 — Fake App- O STARS *2025-08-24* I spent $7.00 to try this for a week. Total waste. App is a scam. The first antique, a Limoges antique case, came back as Japanese! Two more scans each said something different but app did not identify this as a Limoges which it clearly is. So got scammed out of $7.00 because unlike some apps, you don’t get a free three day trial probably because they know this is a scam **Developer response:** Hello user, Thank you for trying our app and for sharing your detailed feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your frustrating experience and that the identification results for your Limoges case were inaccurate. That is certainly not the standard we aim for. Identifying antiques from photos can be incredibly complex, and while our AI is constantly learning, it can sometimes make mistakes, especially with items that have overlapping stylistic influences. Inconsistent results on rescans are also something our team is actively working to improve. We understand your frustration regarding the subscription fee. We would appreciate the opportunity to look into this for you. Could you please contact us directly at aabcreativestudio@gmail.com? We want to make things right. Thank you again for giving us a chance to improve. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-08-21* Do not waste your time or money on this AI garbage app. You’re better off using google lens than this thing. **Developer response:** Dear user, We're very sorry to hear about your frustrating experience and that our app didn't deliver the value you expected. We understand your comparison to tools like Google Lens. While Google Lens is excellent for general object recognition (identifying what something is), our goal is to provide a deeper level of analysis specifically for antiques—estimating the period, origin, materials, and potential value. Clearly, we fell short in your case. We want to make it right. Please contact us at aabcreativestudio@gmail.com. If you're willing to share what you were trying to scan, it would help us improve our AI significantly. Thank you for your feedback. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-08-08* Gives you only the vaguest of information (things you can tell by looking at it, like it’s an antique china cup). and then a wide price range. waste of time. **Developer response:** Hello Prosimix, Thank you for your direct feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that the information provided felt too vague and that the price range was not helpful. That is not the detailed analysis we aim to provide. You've highlighted a key challenge: when our AI cannot identify specific markers like a pattern name or maker's mark from the photo, it sometimes defaults to a broader category, which in turn leads to a wide price estimate. We are constantly working to improve our AI's ability to recognize these finer details. If you're willing, we'd love for you to email us a photo of the item at aabcreativestudio@gmail.com. Our team can take a closer look and see if we can provide the specific information you were looking for. Thank you for helping us improve. ### 1/5 — Waste of Time *2025-07-22* Me and my grandmother were scanning items and we scanned the same item multiple times times and said three different prices, not only this but some antiques such as a lamp and vases that we had said they were worth only 15-30 dollars. On top of this we wasted our time watching all of the ads just to scan one item. DO NOT BUY **Developer response:** Hi GG & KK, We are so sorry to hear about the frustrating experience both you and your grandmother had with our app. Getting inconsistent results and surprisingly low valuations is not acceptable, and we understand your disappointment completely. You've highlighted some critical areas where our AI needs improvement. On top of that, we hear your feedback regarding the number of ads and will be reviewing our ad placement to create a better experience. We would like to make this right and update our app with better version. Please contact us at aabcreativestudio@gmail.com so we can set this up for you. We appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback. ### 1/5 — No *2025-06-28, version 1.1.1* No no no ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-06-25, version 2.2.6* It is NOT free ### 1/5 — Lame *2026-06-20* It keeps saying blurry photo and taking my free credits ### 1/5 — Not happy *2026-06-18* Too many adds and too expensive ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2026-05-10* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Authenticity *2026-04-05* I have used this many times on pieces of crystal, rugs and metal that are signed and classic, and the results have vastly underestimated the value, origin, and age of the peace. Would never use this again. ### 1/5 — Deceptive “free” trial *2026-03-02* Agreed to free trial offer. Checked box requesting notification the free trial was about to end. No notification arrived. Was charged for 1 years usage anyway, for a service I didn’t authorize. Now I have go through the ordeal of trying to get a refund.

I checked against known items in my antique glass collection…the app did not get any correct! I purchased to assist with antiques outside of my knowledge base, but lost $41 instead. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry that our app did not meet your expectations, especially with your glass collection. Glass identification can be challenging due to transparency and lighting conditions. We would love to investigate why the results were inaccurate for your items. Please contact us at aabcreativestudio@gmail.com with the photos you used; our team will manually review them for you. Regarding the subscription, as Apple manages all transactions, you can request a refund through their support page. We hope to have the chance to make this right for you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bowl *2026-06-25* Taylor ### 5/5 — Knowledge is power *2026-02-16, version 2.1.4* Scanning 165 items so far and yes I have had multiple prices depending on the lighting or distance from object, but overall it has given me accurate information. Just today my wife and I went to antique store and bought 4 items that were underpriced. Came home and scanned them, got a range between $500-750. I think the prices are retail not what you could sell them for. Very happy with the app as I will continue to use it. ### 5/5 — Won’t scan *2026-01-10* The scan scree is black and timesout😢 ### 5/5 — Great for bidding *2025-09-26* I’m very satisfied bc they app helps to my bid got approved at the auction houses, thanks ### 5/5 — Good *2025-04-30* It’s work!

Our team works hard to maintain a high-quality database for identification and estimates. Your support is a huge motivation for us!

Happy collecting! ### 3/5 — Which description is right? *2026-03-08* Some times it’s right and sometimes you need to scan several times to get a more accurate description. Can’t scan top, side, or bottom for a full picture for accuracy. Won’t be renewing. ### 3/5 — Antique Identity *2026-01-11, version 2.1.2* Does well if you know what the object is take a picture and write a descriptive title. Otherwise not so well. Unidentifiable objects are wild guesses. Not able to add information to the initial scan for example if you scan one plate but you have 14 you would have to rescan the same picture 13 more times. ### 2/5 — Review *2026-07-10* Pretty so so it started off more impressive than it has become with time anyway it is what it is --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
