Still has the option, but says folders are not found. Also could an option for sorting by set and card number also be included? **Developer response:** Hey Stets5150, I’m going to work on fixing that right now! Feel free to reach out at support@binder-ai.com or globaldominancellc@proton.me. I’m going to fix this asap! For set and card number I think card recognition has to improve before I’d feel comfortable rolling that out. I’m in the midst of working on an improved card recognition system. If the results are good enough I will add that feature. Appreciate the feedback & your support! Anthony UPDATE: This bug has been fixed! Thanks for letting me know about it ### 2/5 — Helpful but inconsistent *2026-05-16* The app is ok. If you’re intending to use it in the way that most people would (grading cards before sending in), look elsewhere. While the ai can scan the card better than the naked eye, it gives very questionable scores pretty consistently. I have card that have graded as 10s and were ~8s on the app. The feedback is helpful when you miss something, which is why I’m giving two stars. Unfortunately, I bought an annual subscription and only used for two and a half months **Developer response:** Hey Doug Dimmadome owner of the Dimsdale Dimmadome, I'm sorry to hear your experience with the app. Would you be able to reach out to me via support@binder-ai.com or globaldominancellc@proton.me? It would be helpful to know which cards the model was off on so I can take a look at what went wrong and try to improve in future versions. Also would love to hear any other feedback or things you think could be improved! I truly do want to make this app as good as can be. Thank you for supporting the app, Anthony ### 4/5 — Very Nice *2026-03-21* I love the app it works good but sometimes it gets grades wrong I mean you need perfect lighting it can’t be off at all. One little thing for the devs, make it so we can share our binders and I promise this app will pop huge! If that is done it’s 5 stars easy but as of now 4 stars still good but it can be better or even revolutionary to us collectors. Please don’t think because this 4/5 it’s not worth it because it is and the $5 is worth it for sure especially for newer collectors. Keep going guys your app is well made and I don’t usually pay for apps but paying for this is worth it. **Developer response:** Hey PeepRyder! I appreciate your review and feedback! I will add the feature to share binders I really like that idea. I'll update this response once the feature goes live! Thank you for supporting the app, Anthony UPDATE: I’ve added Binder Sharing to the app! Let me know what you think and any suggestions on how I can improve it or the app! The email is globaldominancellc@proton.me thanks for your support! ### 3/5 — Interesting idea, but accuracy is questionable *2025-12-05* The app gives some useful information when you’re analyzing a card and trying to decide whether to have it graded. The numerical scores are questionable though. I tested a few different cards in two different places, both with neutral backgrounds and ample light. The scores were not consistent. For example, a card scored a 6.5 in one spot and an 8.5 in another. Maybe improvements in AI will help with that, but I’m not putting much stock in the scores. I do like the written explanations that point out issues on the card though. **Developer response:** Hey MmmhH66, I appreciate your feedback and I’ll look into improving our numerical scores to better represent what the card should grade based on observed condition. I’m glad that you are still finding value from the app and I’ll work hard on continually improving it! Also lighting conditions will definitely impact the perceived grade. Some light better reveals flaws than others and sometimes light can be mistaken as whitening. Ideally the light isn’t casting a reflection on the card, but is bright enough to show any surface wear. Thank you for your feedback and for supporting us, Anthony ### 2/5 — Not accurate *2025-10-27* Literally took a brand new card out of a pack with sharp corners and the pack was in a box and it graded the corners less than a 10. A card just made this year for 2024 class and it gave it 8.5 with All these flaws when its hands down a gem mint. Plus it doesn’t take the player or year into account. Have 1955 Mickey mantle and it had similar headings to a junk wax era card with the specifics. Need to upgrade the AI. Also would be nice to get prices with it like PSA app does. If only that app did grading **Developer response:** Hey EMS-Russ, Thank you for the feedback it helps a ton! A lot of people have been requesting adding prices based on the grade received. I have that added to my roadmap. Biggest thing there is making sure the card is properly recognized. I’m thinking that there should be an option to manually tag a card in case of error. I’m also currently working towards improving the AI and if you’re able to sending the pics to me, along with the grading reports you were not satisfied with that would help me better recognize the weaknesses of the current model. Are there certain aspects you think it’s missing (recognizing whitening or some other damage) or do you believe it’s weighting some issues too heavily? I can be reached at globaldominancellc@proton.me or @binder.ai on instagram. Thank you for supporting the app and providing feedback! I’m going to work hard to make this app better. Anthony ### 1/5 — Does not work for Pokémon cards. *2025-10-18, version 1.2.6* Gives your card a 3 even though it’s a PSA 9 ### 1/5 — did not even finish grading and screen turned back to login page *2025-10-07, version 1.2.6* not recommended at all ### 1/5 — Don’t bother with this app *2025-10-02* I had high hopes for this app because I saw a bunch of the ads. It is useless. I tested this thing on several cards that I sent away degrading. All the cards came back as tens and this thing was giving it 8.5. Not worth the money it cost. Personally there’s no way to judge these cards, other than busting a ruler out and looking at the measurements yourself. ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2025-09-29, version 1.2.5* You can’t even try it for free to see if it’s worth it before they are asking for money. ### 3/5 — Have to pay to use it *2025-09-01* If you want to use this app at all you have to pay. Not even a free trial or anything. **Developer response:** Hey BrockSchla, I will look into adding a free scan in the future! One idea I had was perhaps giving out a free scan(s) for sharing the app with a friend or friends. I’ll look to add this to my roadmap. Thank you for your feedback and support, Anthony ### 2/5 — Review *2025-08-29* I’ve give this 2 stars as it cost, I understand there cost involved with creating and running a software but u could pay with not straight up subscriptions. If you truly want this to take off do that first then make it subscriptions. I would love to share this application around just needs a few little adjustments. **Developer response:** Hey Zurtix, We actually do have a pay per scan model in guest mode for $0.29 per scan. Another option could be to have a user watch some ad content before scanning, but ads don’t pay super well and I’m not sure it’d be enough towards meeting my costs. I am always looking for ways to make the app more accessible and I do appreciate your feedback! Thank you, Anthony ### 1/5 — Save yourself the money. *2025-08-18* So I tried multiple lightings, multiple cards, picture quality was perfect, any other app I’ve used had relative feedback, but I cracked 2 of my Beckett 10’s and one of my PSA gem mint 10’s to gauge these centering apps, and this app consistently graded them at 6, that’s what led to trying multiple places, different lighting, same angle, but still the same results. I wouldn’t waste the money. **Developer response:** Hey Chiefowawho, Would you be able to email or share the pictures and grading reports you received with me? My developer email address is globaldominancellc@proton.me From user submitted feedback the app is about 84% accurate across all grading services with an average error of roughly 1 grading point. These seem way off in your case and I’d like to figure out why and resolve it! Thank you for your feedback, Anthony ### 3/5 — Can’t even get an account. *2025-08-17* Have tried making an account numerous times over the past two months but I just never get an email confirmation. Really frustrating for an app I really wanted to try. **Developer response:** Hey kejoco99, If you’re using a business or academic email address the confirmation email tends to get filtered into spam folders. If possible reach out to me at globaldominancellc@proton.me and I can help fix this issue for you! Thank you for your support, Anthony ### 2/5 — Inaccurate *2025-08-05, version 1.2.1* Results showing inaccurate data of the cards ### 3/5 — Looks promising but needs work *2025-07-19* 1. Need to give people a free trial or free option to test at least. I already cancelled and requested a refund. 2. The card I had it evaluate gave it a 9 but based on notes and the evaluation it shared including centering it should be a 10 so the grade did not make sense. The centering was in the parameters of a 10. 3. Upon looking at the centering again it didn’t capture the card it was capturing something else. The technology for this app needs to look at card centering and digital grading AI. They have levers and much better at capturing the card centering. 4. Price wise I will say $30 a year is not bad at all so kudos for that. $5 a month is good too. 5. The app was simple to use and is promising but I’m afraid I can’t full trust its evaluation with the centering portion. Luckily i already evaluated the tested card. So I knew what to expect. Additionally, the app should break down the grades for each category it has to help a user understand. (Sub grades) 6. I will be open in returning to them once they get these items fixed but I really need a program that will help streamline my grading process. **Developer response:** Hey tastysmackdaddy! Thanks for the feedback! This is great stuff! 1) I’ll work towards adding a free trial/option in a future update. It has been added to my to-do board. Goal is to have it out before v1.3.0 2) Sorry to hear about this, if possible please share the grading report to the company email here: globaldominancellc@proton.me and I will use it to help improve the models and figure out what happened. Were you using the detailed model or fast model? 3) I’m going to look into those and see how we can improve. I think segment masking is definitely an area work needs to be done on my end to make it better so the AI properly recognizes what is card (or borders of the card) vs background. 4) Heck yeah! Glad to hear that! I tried to price the app to be as accessible as possible. 5) I love the idea of adding sub grades! I think that’s a really good idea and I’ll start working on that ASAP! Will be another feature I will try to add before or on v1.3.0! 6) I can’t wait to earn your business back and very much appreciate this feedback! It’s super valuable and I’m grateful to you for taking the time to write it and help the app improve! Thank you, Anthony ### 1/5 — Lie *2025-07-11, version 1.1.9* Worse app to waste ur money on they generate random information to make u feel like you get a good grade ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — False advertising *2026-06-16* The app literally ask you to give them a 5 star revieve 3 times before your even logged into the app for the first time just to find out they want you to pay a subscription to scan cards. Yeah no. You’re not the only app in the industry, and most don’t charge. **Developer response:** We don’t ask for a 5 star rating, just for a rating. Also all card graders I know of charge for the AI Grading feature. It’s an expensive app to run and this is my only form of income. I need to be able to make some money to pay bills, I priced it as low as I could without running negative. I’m sorry that you’ve had a poor experience. Anthony ### 1/5 — Bad AI grading *2026-06-02* I AI graded my card and all of them got a nine and then I destroyed a bad card and it got it too. That is right but the other ones are not because they all got nines and that is not true because they are in perfect pristine condition this app I do not recommend because how bad it is picking their app and pay the money. This app is not worth it. Don’t waste your time. **Developer response:** Hey can you please reach out to me at support@binder-ai.com and share the images of the cards you graded? I would like to look into this issue and get it resolved. From my own testing both models have been able to accurately assess damaged cards. Thank you, Anthony ### 1/5 — Subscription required *2026-05-08* Used to be able to do scans for free as a guest, like $.29 or $.39 a card, now you gotta create an account and pay a weekly or monthly subscription. Poor service on their part IMO. I like scanning a card here and there casually for the convenience and cheap fee per card but now I will look elsewhere **Developer response:** Hey Josnake1244688, I’ll add the feature back! Going to rework some things with it so it’s a smoother experience. Thank you for your feedback and glad you were liking the app! I’ll let you know when this feature is restored, Anthony ### 1/5 — Paid *2026-03-28, version 1.4.1* I got the app hoping there would be a free version. Nope immediately got hit with a paid wall. I recommend using ChatGPT and not using a pay app. If I’m doing anything wrong, please tell me. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-03-26, version 1.4.1* Doesn’t let u cancel ur subscription ### 1/5 — Cant do anything without subscription *2026-02-27* No free versions you have to pay to do anything on the app, I know tons of other AI scanners that are completely free and way better. Do not get this app. Even ChatGPT could probably grade my card better. **Developer response:** Hey JetEpic_gamer, There are no free versions because it's expensive to run the app. I can promise you the app is much more accurate than ChatGPT. In the future there might be a free option available, but at this time I literally cannot afford to do that. This app is my full time job. Thank you, Anthony ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2026-01-03* I see flaws and it gives a 9.5 or 10. Then I see no flaws and it gives lower grades. Very inconsistent. I scanned the same cards multiple times in the same light and background and it gives different grades each time. If you want to try it, I suggest starting with a week. I made the mistake of doing an annual subscription and am stuck paying the full price. **Developer response:** Hey Ryan Nootz, Sorry to hear about your experience. Please reach out to globaldominancellc@proton.me or DM us on Instagram. If possible provide pics of the reports you were dissatisfied with and why. This will help us assess what we need to improve and make the app worth your while during your annual subscription. Thank you for your feedback and trying us out, Anthony ### 1/5 — Pretty bad *2025-11-28* At first, I was really enjoying this app. I’ve been testing AI grading apps w my own opinion and against others. This one was pretty legit at first before a recent update. The developers need to learn more about centering. Every card I used, it gave me an 8.5 with centering. I would even update with their centering tool and it would show it was 52-48, but still gives an 8.5 in centering saying it’s 60/40. **Developer response:** Hey DontLeaveSteve, I appreciate this feedback! I’m working hard on a solution to the centering issue. I also fixed the issue centering with the centering text not matching the manually inputted grade. Hopefully I can earn your trust back and definitely feel free to reach out on Instagram or hit us up via email with more details about your concerns or any other feedback! Our email is globaldominancellc@proton.me Thank you for your review and feedback, Anthony ### 1/5 — Useless and wrong *2025-11-14* Absolutely horrible application. Scanned three cards, a Beckett 9.5, a psa 10 and a Beckett black label 10. It gave them a 7.5, 6 and 8.5 respectively - said centering was off and the edges were worn. Absolutely useless don’t waste your money. **Developer response:** Hey Ntlaws, Would you be able to share the pictures used and grading reports? This would be super helpful in diagnosing the issue and improving the model in future updates. You can reach me on instagram @binder.ai or at globaldominancellc@proton.me Based on user submitted feedback the app is roughly 84% accurate at predicting what a card will grade between all major grading companies. The average error is plus or minus 1.1 grading points. The model is not yet perfect and feedback like yours is incredibly valuable to improving the accuracy of the app. Thank you, Anthony ### 1/5 — Horrible email confirmation process *2025-10-21* Absolutely the worst app for installation. Ask you to allow all your privacy settings and then never allows you to access the app because it refuses to allow sign in after confirming my email. No customer service. Overall awful experience **Developer response:** Hey Tspoons37, There is customer service! You can reach out to me personally at globaldominancellc@proton.me or reach out on instagram @binder.ai. I will go in and fix this for you once you provide me with your email address. We don’t collect any data on users other than that necessary for account creation (your email address). Thank you for giving me a chance and if you reach out I will work hard to make this right, Anthony ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Centering is useless *2026-05-28* The centering is way off because even a white border card on a black background cannot recognize the card edges. It gives you an opportunity to regrade the centering but you can’t zoom in at all so that is useless. I ran cards from the same vintage set, one with very high gloss still and one very scuffed. Both scored the same for surface. Ai it’s the way to go but it’s still got a long way to go. **Developer response:** Hey Don! Thanks for the feedback I’ll work on adding Zoom to the re-grade centering feature! That’s a great idea tbh. Also please send a pic of those cards to me at globaldominancellc@proton.me or support@binder-ai.com and it’ll help me figure out how to improve the model. Thank you for supporting the app and I’ll work hard to make this a better experience for you, Anthony UPDATE: Hey Don, manually re-grading will have a zoom feature when version 1.5.3 is released this week! Thank you again for the suggestion and feedback. ### 5/5 — Best bro *2026-04-10* The customer service is literally insane and the grades are accurate 10/10 highly recommend **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Solid grading app *2025-07-10* I’ve used it a few times now and is pretty good at giving me a idea of what to send to PSA ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-07-07* I really enjoy making my own binders and sorting my collection!!! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-07-06* I sent 8 cards to PSA and 7 of them were got the same grade the app gave them! ### 5/5 — NEED to take good pics! *2025-07-05* The app is very easy and intuitive to use, however, in order to get the correct grades, you HAVE to take a good picture with minimal background disturbances. Just like any picture based app, in order to get good results you have to provide good data. Overall, love having a way to store my cards in one place on the go. ### 5/5 — Attention Card Collectors! *2025-04-29* This app keeps my baseball cards organized and available at all times. Never knew how rare some of them were until now. ### 5/5 — Love this APP *2025-04-29, version 1.0* A good APP that can help me to analyze my cards —— from a Chinese baseball fan. ### 5/5 — Love The App!!! *2025-04-29* Great app!!!! Highly recommend for everyone that’s collecting or trading cards! ### 4/5 — Scanning *2026-08-18* I’m not sure what happened with the past update, i can no longer add my cards that i scan with my printer/scanner as i use that to get pics of my cards, and the scanner on the app no longer can read those scans. My preferences and settings have stayed the same. **Developer response:** Hey Stets5150, I’m going to work on fixing that right now! Feel free to reach out at support@binder-ai.com or globaldominancellc@proton.me. I’m going to fix this asap! For set and card number I think card recognition has to improve before I’d feel comfortable rolling that out. I’m in the midst of working on an improved card recognition system. If the results are good enough I will add that feature. Appreciate the feedback & your support! Anthony UPDATE: This bug has been fixed! Thanks for letting me know about it UPDATE 2: Hey stets5150, I have just submitted an update 1.6.4 that will reduce the frequency of this issue for uploaded issues. Please reach out to support@binder-ai.com for more info! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
