But the camera sucks so bad. Be prepared to type because the camera will maybe recognize 1 in 10 cards. The camera sucks so bad it’s not even funny. Especially if it’s a refractor. Don’t plan on anything happening quickly because you spend half your day typing because THE CAMERA SUCKS! FIX THE CAMERA! ### 2/5 — Card scanning *2026-08-05* I love this app when it comes to checking comps but a huge reason why I decided to pay $20/month for the app was because I could easily take a picture of a card and the card/parallel should populate and SAVE ME TIME. 98% of the time I take a photo of a card EVERY PARALLEL aside from the one I took a photo of appears. How does that make any sense? So even though I pay for this app I still have to go to eBay, take a photo of the card on their app, and eBay has NO ISSUE showing me the parallel or exact card I took a photo of, from there I grab the name of the card and have to plug that into cardladder to check comps. I pay for cardladder to make my life easier but really I should just me using eBay to take photos of cards I don’t know the parallel name of and filtering to sold or just using 130 point for FREE. I think this app can really be great and I’ve continued to pay for it monthly hoping you guys fix the bug that’s causing this issue but it’s every time and nothing changes. And it’s not because I’m taking a picture of a card that’s in a top loader or in a magnetic holder. I take them out of all of that snap the photo and still Card Ladder can’t help me identify the majority of cards I take photos of. It’s really frustrating and I hate giving a low review score to something that has helped me, but there’s not enough effort going into this app which should be saving its customers time and money. If this was my app I would ask “why does eBay’s camera easily identify a card but ours does not?” Even worse is that when cardladder correctly scans and finds the right card it only shows OLDER LISTINGS of the card I took a photo of. Why would the most current comps not appear when the photos are of the same card? I don’t create apps and know everything that goes on to build one so I respect what this app tries to do but I just got into the hobby a year ago and people that have been in it much longer tell me they don’t pay for the app for this reasoning. I’m reviewing my frustrations, yes, but genuinely I just want a solution and I would gladly continue to pay for this app if I saw there were attempts to fix these issues but at this point I think the app is costing me more time (money) than anything. ### 4/5 — Pictures *2026-07-25* This needs to have a flash so it can take a picture of the cards and be able to make it out doesn’t make out the card so it always says no history. You always have to type it in if this was a free app that would be understandable, but I pay monthly so it should be able to take the picture of the card and get it correct every single time. ### 4/5 — Great service ! *2026-07-24, version 4.1.5* Excellent use for comping my cards! ### 4/5 — CL *2026-07-24, version 4.1.5* It’s ok ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-07-19, version 4.1.4* We love cl ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-07-19, version 4.1.4* I use it every day.
