### 3/5 — Good but needs improvement

*2024-11-15*

The search feature has gotten progressively worst with each issue release. Earlier on you could at least provide a very distinct search term and get a few matches, but now it utterly doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Generation LAZY

*2021-07-20*

Most kids today want EVERYTHING spoon fed to them. They don’t even know what a magazine is, let alone knowing how to take the time and diligence to find the information for themselves. This isn’t a Google app. It’s a wonderful product, with countless information at your fingertips. You just have to take the time to actually try and find it.

### 4/5 — Better Date of Release

*2021-02-06*

The printed magazines are released before the digital, I think it should be the other way around. A monthly release date would be good to know, so I not refreshing the page everyday until it’s updated. Over all I’m satisfied with the app, but there is always room for improvement...

### 2/5 — Flipping through pages is tedious

*2020-02-12*

Too small to read for my old eyes and flipping through pages is tedious

### 1/5 — Beckett ANOTHER Subscription for the SAME Service! 3 Payments for a SINGLE SERVICE!

*2020-01-07*

How does Beckett get away with charging its customers THREE SEPARATE MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FEES for ONE PRODUCT?! Oh you subscribe to the monthly magazine? Cool download BGS MEDIA and subscribe so you can conveniently look up card prices from your mobile device. Yes, Beckett also offers a basketball-specific application (THIS APP) where you can pay a third subscription charge every month to look up the same pricing that you already paid for via Beckett magazine monthly as well as Beckett media monthly. This may not be a monopoly but it’s about as honest as OJ Simpson on trial.

### 4/5 — Great price

*2019-03-30*

Works fantastic for me I don’t have any problems with the app. Only negative the printed books get released first whereas the digital you have to wait a weeks for it to be released.

### 1/5 — Awful.

*2018-12-28*

Just buy the actual magazine. Somehow they have made loading a book onto an app way more complicated than necessary.  It only seems to load partway, is not in order. Still doesn’t work after multiple deletes and reattempted downloads.  Worst app i have ever downloaded.  Is there a negative star rating?

### 1/5 — Online subscription

*2013-11-29*

This app does not let me access the price guide even though I have a monthly subscription online......lame. Needs to support online subscription and let me access my organize collection!

### 1/5 — Unsatisfactory

*2013-09-04*

All this does is let you see the pages. What it should have (and should be SIMPLE to do) is to create a digital search function to look up cards similar to what is available online. Of course you would need to have an account. 
This type of flexibility and mobility for collectors on the go is a no-brainer.

### 1/5 — Cannot purchase

*2013-08-28*

Cannot buy new issues keep getting error need to get this ASAP very frustrating!
