You cannot run a software application that starts making money and then start running off on vacation, expecting to put in a few hours here and there to keep the app sustainable, especially when you start making changes without the proper discipline and process around it. Now I cannot even enter a PIN number without that field, erasing it immediately when I try to add a new card. Before that, it started erasing my cards and replacing them with cards with random numbers and letters. Before that, the sorting got messed up and My cards became extremely slow to load as compared to before especially if I have a large number. ### 4/5 — Suggestion *2026-04-05, version 3.01.84* Could be a buy with one time purchase lifetime ### 2/5 — Love app, but free seems limited to 2 cards *2026-03-23, version 3.01.84* Free ver seems limited to 2 cards. Just vibrates at me when I attempt to add 3rd card. Also tried to submit email via “Contact Us” from within app, but the button would not do anything. ### 2/5 — Ruined by Subscription Model *2026-02-11, version 3.01.82* I’ve had this app as my sole gift card manager since January 2022., but recent changes leave me looking for an alternative. Sometime recently, they changed the app from being completely free to using a subscription model. My main gripe: they put the image attachments to the gift cards behind the paywall. Image attachments were my main usage for this app (I get my gift cards and upload screenshots of the details for each card so I dont have to keep the physical ones as proof if there are issues with the barcodes). Now I can’t do that anymore without paying for this feature. Seriously, everything nowadays has a subscription. This app used to be perfect for me, now ruined by a paywall… I would not recommend this app to anyone - find something free. Conveniently managing and storing gift cards shouldn’t cost money, and don’t take existing features of a free app and start charging money for those same un-improved features. ### 3/5 — Your bells and whistles are breaking the app *2025-12-20* Why did you ruin your app? I don’t even have time to explain what’s wrong with it because I’ve wasted so much time trying to use it. Is there a way to roll back to the previous version???? **Developer response:** I’m really sorry about the frustration — I know that feeling, and I hate that this update cost you time. Unfortunately there isn’t a way to roll back to a previous version due to required changes in the underlying development framework. That said, I can keep improving this version to make it better and more intuitive. If you’re willing, please email me a couple quick examples of what’s going wrong (even a screenshot helps) and I’ll prioritize fixes: support@astrumcomputing.com. ### 2/5 — Marginal *2025-08-16, version 3.01.40* Will add cards to Apple Wallet BUT does not result in a full width display, therefore making it almost unusable. ### 5/5 — Great support … fast & effective … *2024-10-25, version 3.01.39* not needed app it turns out but enjoyed the short experience and good time Apple ecosystem can be extended as needed (Apple wallet) ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2024-09-19, version 3.01.35* This is a great app to store my gift cards it makes it so easy and I don’t have to carry them all around with me ### 3/5 — Not impressed *2024-08-24, version 3.01.35* I just purchased the lifetime version of this app because I was looking for a card manager where I could add all cards, insurance, ID cards, payment cards etc. Don’t get me wrong, I can add all types of cards but for instance if I’m adding an insurance card, there is no category, you have to add it and it doesn’t read the information on the card and verify it, which even my free one did. When I entered my insurance card it just shows up in black and white. There may be more to it than I think but so far I’m not impressed and I shouldn’t have wasted my money on this app, I should have stuck with the free one I already had ### 4/5 — Too expensive and limited. *2024-08-18, version 3.01.35* This app is too expensive for occasional use and does not allow manual entry of id/barcode. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Misleading app *2026-08-20, version 3.2.12* When you look at the preview of the app it doesn’t mention anything about a $30 a year membership ### 1/5 — DO NOT WASTE MY TIME. *2026-07-28, version 3.01.98* This app is a bait-and-switch. It is listed as “in app purchases” but appears free for download. Access to the app is $30. IF IT IS THIRTY DOLLARS, STATE SO IN THE STORE ADD. STOP WASTING PEOPLES TIME. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-04-03, version 3.01.84* I watched your tutorial on YouTube, and the app does not match your instructions and it does not add to my Apple wallet at all. I’d like my money back. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-01-23, version 3.01.75* This app won’t let you do much unless you agree to a “free trial” that converts to automatic payments. I want to do one thing: add cards that I can add to Apple Wallet, which this app claims to do. No go, not without agreeing to pay. ### 1/5 — No photo scanning *2026-01-19, version 3.01.74* I see no way of taking a picture of my cards. This is the reason I got this app. Ridiculous! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync iPad to iPhone anymore *2026-01-13, version 3.1.60* I used to like the app but since the update the syncing from iPhone to iPad not working. I’ve contacted them but no response. ### 1/5 — Overpriced App *2025-12-28, version 3.1.57* Why pay such a high price for a product that is used infrequently!! ### 1/5 — Add *2025-04-09, version 3.01.40* To slow ### 1/5 — Photo card too small to read *2024-12-03, version 3.01.39* I purchased to add screen shot/ photos of my drone FAA registration card and the safety test completion certificate. The area provided for the photo is so small that you cant read the information. I thought it was going to be the full size of the card like my current passes are. ### 1/5 — App to expensive for what I want it for to use now and again *2024-09-08, version 3.01.35* This app is far to expensive for an occasional use ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cards *2026-08-16, version 3.2.12* Easy to use App ### 5/5 — Easy to Use and Very Convenient *2026-08-06, version 3.2.10* I've really enjoyed using this app. It makes it so much easier to keep all my gift cards, loyalty cards, membership cards, and tickets in one place instead of carrying them around. I also like that I can add cards to Apple Wallet and even keep track of my gift card balances. The app is simple to use, organized, and has helped me keep everything I need right on my phone. Definitely a great app if you want a more convenient way to manage your cards. ### 5/5 — Best Card Manager *2026-07-01, version 3.01.92* This app is so easy to use and links perfectly with Apple Wallet. I tried several apps and this is the best!!! ### 5/5 — It’s awesome *2026-06-13, version 3.01.92* It does a great job keeping track of all your gift cards in one place ### 5/5 — Amazon *2026-02-03, version 3.01.80* Thanks ### 5/5 — really helpful *2025-12-27, version 3.1.57* i hate that apple doesn’t let you add gift cards to wallet from the settings so this app is an awesome middle man to help add my gift cards to apple wallet. yes it is a little annoying i have to watch an add to do a lot of stuff but it is worth it ### 5/5 — Great app but new update lacking some features *2025-12-20, version 3.1.57* Love this app! But with this new update, there’s no longer a way to update the balance on a gift card. Can you add that back plz? Where you say how much you spent at a store and it updates the balance. Also, can you PLEASE add a dark mode app icon? And bring back dark mode in the app too :) TY! ### 5/5 — Epic *2025-09-28, version 3.01.40* Epic app ### 5/5 — Kris *2025-06-02, version 3.01.40* nine files. ### 5/5 — Rewarding *2024-11-21, version 3.01.39* This is trippy --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
