### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-07-04*

I had all my cards stored and the app crashes every time. How safe is that!!!! How can I delete all my stuff???

### 5/5 — reliable dependable I love this app❤️❤️❤️❤️

*2024-03-04*

This is an amazing dependable app. I love this app.  Omg 😱 I absolutely love this app for years now I love the provers, but I can’t afford it right now so I’m gonna have to save up money to get it again but it lets you do a cloud back up and everything so you don’t lose your cards when you scan them especially when you change phones!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 3/5 — I have the pro version that’s disappeared so am now stuck with this!

*2024-01-25*

Not sure why you would add this coin collecting madness to your app and totally rip all those who got the full version! Ok so no ads are popping up and all my cards have appeared from the cloud & my pro version but this is still broken - like adding the email for backup needs always says it can’t connect to the server!? As for the coins I’m miffed,I now got enough to buy the full version so can’t you just get rid of that? I’m close to abandoning the app as iOS notes will now let us scan cards and save them in a folder with a biometric lock on which trumps this by far! I had rated the old full version 5 stars but a broken reward driven app cannot get scored but as it did upload my previous info and hasn’t plastered ads everywhere I’ll give it 3 but please drop coins for full version owners or bring back the full version…
Thanks

### 1/5 — Keep Paying

*2021-07-11*

Had pro version from quite awhile ago…..went to use it after more than a year and it had to be updated by developer.  Developer had recreated the app and was charging again……. WTH

### 5/5 — Lightens my wallet

*2021-04-19, version 3.4.7*

April 2021 update - was fixed for a bit, but just updated to an iPhone 12 on iOS 14.4.2 and now it crashes immediately on launch. Please fix - I really rely on this great app all the time. 

Love this app - simple, lightweight, does just what I need it to. Now I don't have to carry around all these cards and can have them with me all the time. Minimalism ftw.  Also, the developer is very responsive and open to ideas for improvements. Bravo all the way around.

### 4/5 — Works fairly well, but not a do-everything-under-the-sun

*2021-04-14, version 3.4.7*

I had problems with the free version, but it worked well enough as a rudimentary repository of credit cards and IDs. I was pleased to see that many of the issues disappeared with the paid (still cheap!) version. The fact that I can organize my cards, fill in the standard fields (some automatic, some manual) and add supplemental data, along with the image, makes this way better than just having simple snapshots. It’s not Wallet, so I can’t actually use the cards that way, but I can and do store every conceivable type of card, create categories for them, and retrieve them at a moment’s notice. I believe this app will be a good investment of your time to deploy.

### 5/5 — Bugs fixed perhaps?

*2021-03-14*

Having found issues where this app crashes, and almost write it off, it appears to have updated and is working again now.

Great app, use it loads for CC numbers.

### 3/5 — Seems like there is an issue

*2021-02-22*

App closes when you try and access a card. Been great until now

### 1/5 — Complete garbage

*2021-02-17*

The app is Sime to use but it constantly crashes when trying to view cards. Soooo frustrating.

### 2/5 — Was great, now buggy

*2021-02-11*

Needs some attention with iOS 14
