### 3/5 — App stopped working

*2026-08-06, version 1.25*

This app worked great for a few weeks. Then it stopped working and gave a blank screen. Tried resetting and restarting and nothing worked. What good is an app that quits and you have no immediate support….

### 4/5 — Only one flaw

*2026-07-05, version 1.23*

The app does a great job identifying items but I prices them too high. eBay sold statistics show lower sales.

### 4/5 — Ancient Antiquity Identifier

*2026-06-10, version 1.23*

While I am enjoying using this app to identify ancient antiquities there are some things that need to be “tweaked”. One needs the ability to add multiple photos, different angles and the ability to edit those photos in size, lighting, etc.

### 2/5 — Don’t work for my item

*2026-04-03, version 1.23*

Gave me three different prices and descriptions in three attempts. Just doesn’t work for what I need it for.

### 2/5 — If you do the trial cancel before it ends

*2026-03-21, version 1.23*

So obviously this is my fault but I forgot to cancel so I ended up having to pay $129 for a year for an app that I didn’t even like and I still don’t like after months. Never doing a free trial again. So the positive thing is that it does identify things for you, but the value the place on items is absolutely bonkers. Also, my grandkids will take a picture of their tongue or the bottom of their foot or something really dumb and it’ll give you the name of something with a very high value. It’s so stupid. Huge waste of money.  I don’t want something to just tell me what it is. I literally need to have some sort of value placed on it. I think what they do is they show you the ones that has the highest value but if you go to eBay or any of the other sites, you find the same item not even close to the price they told you it was valued at.

### 4/5 — Gina

*2026-02-27, version 1.23*

I would LOVE if we could submit more than one photo to show details inside or on the back of something

### 4/5 — Good but…

*2026-02-21, version 1.23*

It works nicely but sometimes it just won’t scan at all not even from my photos. It’s doing it right now and it is not showing like it will be fixed

### 5/5 — My new MUST HAVE business tool! [Found a 5 year mystery in 3 seconds!]

*2026-01-13, version 1.22*

My husband suggested this app for my reselling business, but I was more than a little skeptical. I’ve always avoided most vintage and antiques because I didn't have the expertise, and I assumed this wouldn't perform better than Google Lens or eBay’s image search. I was wrong.

We own a mid-century "over the couch" clock that we’ve researched for five years. We tried Google, eBay, online forums and even WorthPoint with zero luck. I took one photo with Relic, and in three seconds, I had the manufacturer, history, value, and several sources for that exact clock.

As for finding items to resell, I just walked through an antique mall 3 days ago and identified over a dozen items with a potential profit of $300+ each. It also helped identify a wooden Victorian belt buckle, valued at $125+ that was being thrown away by a family member due to them thinking it was worthless. While the app isn’t perfect [it can struggle with custom/unique items or modern goods] it’s a game-changer for antique and vintage items.

I’ve signed up to the yearly membership and in the very first month it’s already more than paid for itself with just one item sold, and has become one of my most valuable and loved business tools. It’s given me the confidence to expand into a much more profitable niche which will take my business to the next level.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-12-23, version 1.22*

So easy to look up items. Very accurate! I enjoy learning the history not just the price. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-12-04, version 1.22*

Loving this app there right on

### 1/5 — Horrible App!

*2026-06-28, version 1.23*

Even tho it gives you a FREE three day trial, it still charges you for a whole year! Downloaded the app, cancelled the subscription and deleted the app within 15 minutes of having it and it still charged me 20$ for a year. I’m not even going to use it, such a waste!! I don’t recommend this app! Beware, they will take your money and they don’t keep to their word on the free trial.

### 1/5 — Don’t even try this app.

*2026-05-20, version 1.23*

Do not try to get the free scans from this app. They charged me  $32.00 even though it stated that I could get 3 free scans. But it isn’t true. I feel like I’ve been scammed.

### 1/5 — Fraudulent

*2026-05-09, version 1.23*

Terrible information. I didn’t agree to the Pro plan and I can’t stop the charges

### 1/5 — Hardly works for

*2026-04-02, version 1.23*

Paid the yearly subscription fee thinking I could use app as needed. Most of the time a photo won’t upload. Wait days and try again-same issue. Dont waste your time or money on this app!!

### 1/5 — Lost history

*2026-03-29, version 1.23*

I purchased the $49 plan because I have an antique business.  I got a new iPhone and this is the only app that will not transfer my history.  I’ve written to them about this, T-Mobile has worked hard to figure this out but we can’t get my LONG HISTORY, and this is for my business. I have all of my items here and just jot down notes on paper of some description.  I’m SOL for having my inventory now.  Their lack of response really stinks.  I only have 2 weeks to hand in my old phone.  If this is the case DONT BOTHER WITH THIS APP.

### 1/5 — Missing my ENTIRE collection!!!

*2026-03-25, version 1.23*

I ordered RELIC on January 24,2026. On Sunday, March 22,2026, my entire account DISAPPEARED! And, a newbie with no information replaced my thousands of household inventory.
 AI response keeps returning to an enter three item new account. Emails go unanswered and no phone number to speak with a live person is provided. HOURDs of imputed and important items…GONE!!!

### 1/5 — Whaaaat

*2026-02-26, version 1.23*

Same item 4 different appraisals and I’d s

### 1/5 — Sus

*2026-02-23, version 1.23*

I signed up for the free trial and didn’t really like the layout of the app. The free trial was for three days but they charged me on day 3. Cancelled on the day they charged me for A YEAR at $79.99. Apple refuses to refund the money.  Contacted them through their app but never heard anything back. Trying to dispute the charge with my bank now. 🤞

### 1/5 — Gets Cute With Word Free in the Ad

*2026-02-08, version 1.23*

Any app is free to download until you want to use it. Forcing users to do a review beforehand is lame. Free trial versions that don’t have the same features as the paid version lame. Dave yourself the effort and just use google lens. 🤣 bye

### 1/5 — Pay? Really

*2026-02-06, version 1.23*

Why do you have to pay for this

### 5/5 — Estate find

*2026-07-05, version 1.23*

Looks to be in good shape. Found information on it that would attract German automobile collectors. We have no need for it. Would like to sell.

### 5/5 — Exception research helper

*2026-05-07, version 1.23*

Very good just wish I can put more than 1 picture when scanning

### 5/5 — Easy

*2026-04-30, version 1.23*

This app makes it easy to identify and categorize your items.

### 5/5 — Incredibly accurate

*2026-03-31, version 1.23*

I love the app

### 5/5 — A+++ App

*2026-03-13, version 1.23*

Look no further! Let me save you the trouble. I downloaded and paid for 10 different apps. All of them had their pros and cons, some not good at all. This is is very simple and to the point but most of all has correct identification. The prices vary, but are on queue most of the time. Seems like all the other apps used some horrible AI from the same company that pulled up the same wrong information each time. However Relic, this app either developed their own or used a company who has it all together, because they are way more precise than any other apps out there. Where other apps couldn’t identify, Relic 100% could and does everytime. Simply amazing app.

### 5/5 — 7LeeW

*2026-03-11, version 1.23*

Wish I found it a long time ago

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-02-06, version 1.23*

Great

### 5/5 — Junk

*2026-02-05, version 1.23*

I love proving to my daughter that it’s not just junk. This is a great app.

### 5/5 — TIME SAVER

*2026-01-31*

I can’t believe how much time I SAVE from doing my research on collections!  I have more time to shop now🤣

### 5/5 — Loving The App

*2026-01-25, version 1.23*

The app does a very good job of finding comps for merch I’m putting in my antique booth. Prices are very comparable to Google and EBay. I highly recommend the app.
