### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2025-11-18, version 7.4*

Nice way to organize my cards but app is very slow.  Every card’s value is $0 which is annoying.

### 4/5 — It’s ok

*2023-06-11, version 6.7*

Takes a good amount of time and some reason when I try it my cards are missing til I log back in.

### 4/5 — Tracking my entire collection!

*2023-01-27, version 6.3*

Though not the most intuitive and doesn’t always filter/sort perfect, it has done a great job recording my collection.

### 3/5 — Password

*2022-10-24, version 6.3*

Can not seem to remember my password and I can’t even get into the app or even ask for help not really all that

### 4/5 — 4 stars

*2022-03-29, version 6.1*

Would of been 5 stars, but the fact that player cards are separate instead of organized by player.

### 3/5 — Not worth the price

*2022-03-02, version 6.1*

Good idea but needs a lot of work. Would love to see it show a database of card and I can select the ones I have. Not enter them manually.

### 2/5 — Lost collection

*2022-01-10, version 6.0*

Liked the idea of this app, and it came in handy when trying to make decisions without needing to look at my collection in person. However, went to log in today to see if I owned a particular card and my entire collection of hundreds of cards I had manually entered has been erased

### 3/5 — Good App But Glitchy

*2021-07-17*

The app has some great free features. I wish I could recommend the subscription, but as of right now I cannot. I loved the Genie Estimate feature, but after a handful of cards it now repeatedly asks me to Complete a Captcha but it won’t let me. EBay isn’t asking for Captcha when I hit completed sales. Eventually it will ask, but even after completing it it still won’t do any more genie estimates. It seems to be broken and unfortunately I will not be renewing my subscription.

### 2/5 — Was great, not so much now

*2021-06-16, version 5.8*

App was great but now I can’t access any of my cards or even open the app. It is completely frozen and has been for days. Emailed support and got nothing. Wasted time logging my collection into it and now I have to start all over with another app. Don’t care about having paid for the app more about the lost time.

### 1/5 — All lies

*2021-06-04, version 5.7*

I purchased the app after reading developer comments saying there is no limit to how many cards I can add. The paid app only allows a certain amount - then you have to pay a monthly fee to add up to 30k cards. I have well over 30k cards and the app search feature doesn’t find half of them. I wasted my money on this app and don’t suggest you do the same.

### 1/5 — Deceitful

*2021-05-24, version 5.7*

So I downloaded and tried it out. Didn’t like it so I deleted it. Now I’m getting charges for a subscription I didn’t agree to. Don’t trust this garbage to be anything more than a con job. All around terrible experiences. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

### 3/5 — PRICE ESTIMATES FOR CARDS

*2021-04-28, version 5.6*

Some of my cards get over valued . And a feature that would be AWESOME is if we can some how socialize with other members , show off our cards to one and other . Just a suggestion.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-04-18, version 5.6*

App looks great from pics, but does not function as advertised

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-02-01, version 6.3*

I was expecting a fully accessible data base with photos where I could create a check list and wish list like toys and comics apps I use. Within minutes of struggling around the app I deleted it and found a much better free app.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2022-10-20, version 6.2*

I had uploaded several of my favorite cards which worked great to show off to others when away from my cards. Now, all of my card entries have been erased. The app is also super glitchy and hardly ever works. What a waste of time and huge disappointment!

### 1/5 — Hidden Subscription

*2022-09-28, version 6.2*

Some features are locked behind a ridiculously overpriced monthly subscription even after you pay the initial $5

### 1/5 — Colossal waste of time

*2022-09-20, version 6.2*

Don’t waste your time if you don’t upgrade to premium after a year they erase all your work and don’t bother emailing them because they will never respond.

### 1/5 — App

*2022-06-03, version 6.2*

It was a pain to use but I still put in over 1000 cards and was paying for premium in the hopes of live tracking. After a year I realized it wasn’t coming. Sent an email saying that I didn’t want to have premium any longer(didn’t work) and they erased all of my input. Definitely use another app if you want to keep them from erasing all the work you did.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2021-11-07, version 6.0*

App is not working don’t download it. I liked it but now it’s just not working at all. Don’t waste your time until it’s fixed.

### 1/5 — Zero Support

*2021-10-25, version 5.8*

The app is okay, it’s slow if you have to add a lot of cards. It would be nice is the developer allowed you to customize the settings and change the default options. This is at best a 3 star app at best, I gave it 1 star because there is zero support if you need it. If you’re gonna charge for the app you should have support. I contacted them twice and never heard back from them. Basically the app is useless to me. Buyer beware!!!!

### 1/5 — Not useful at all.

*2021-09-05, version 5.8*

This app is a complete waste of time and money. I just paid $4 for it because there were some good reviews on it. I think that those were written themselves. I inputted a few cards and no information was retrieved on those cards. A 86-87 fleer Patrick Ewing PSA 9 has a lot of transactions on eBay. Yet it’s showing nothing. The layout looks really outdated too. It looks like it’s 15 years behind. You should credit my money back because I wouldn’t be using it.

### 1/5 — Bruhh

*2021-07-01, version 5.8*

Where the refund button here didn’t expect it to be like this I check card and I see a kids face and coins

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2021-06-17, version 5.8*

I found it clunky and laborious to use. Wanted to like it. I asked for a refund, and received no response. Wish I had read the reviews more thoroughly

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-07-26*

I love this app for keeping my card collection organized and always at my fingertips. I don’t really use it to check card prices as I find other sites work better for that. I’m a collector and not a seller so for me it’s just keeping my collection organized and it allows me to show others exactly what I have . Every time I have contacted the app creator , he has been quick to respond and very helpful. I think this is steal for $4.

### 5/5 — Get this app!

*2022-03-29*

I dont usually write reviews BUT this app is what I’ve been looking for for years now! I’ve tried other ones and most don’t do what I want them to and the ones that do are $150 a year… this is a $4 app which is a steal… you don’t need the subscription on top of it but for $5 a month it’s super nice to have and again cheap! This is well worth the money spent 100%

### 5/5 — So glad I found this app! Just a few things I’d like tweaked…

*2022-03-12*

Great app, great idea & all without having to pay an arm & a leg for each month. Thank you for that! I’ve been keeping track of my cards by hand in a notebook which isn’t the best. Considering I have over 1k more to add, there’s a couple things I’d love to see tweaked or added please to make things a bit easier/quicker. Unless, of course, I’ve overlooked it.

 ➤1) make a sub category for entering multiple cards with basically all the same info except the name, # & pic. So we don’t have to toggle all the other required info for each card.

 ➤2) have an optional set sub categories for more than just a player. So I can quickly scroll through sets to see what cards I have from specific card sets rather than have to scroll through all the cards of the same year. 

 ➤3) Add an optional category/input for teams so if I’m looking for players/cards from a specific team, I can pull up that team for quick reference. 

➤4) Instead of the information defaulting back to the original default, let the information from the previous card entered (besides the name & #) stay filled out. Rather than having to choose the brand, year, rookie, cost, graded etc each time. 

➤5) Add a photo option for the card backs. It would be nice to be able to read/see the backs of the cards. 

 ✯This would make entering 100s-1000s+ cards be much easier & faster. Otherwise this is still an awesome app & I appreciate all the work you’re putting into it. Thank you!

### 5/5 — ??

*2021-08-09, version 5.8*

Is there a way to share your collection?

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2021-05-03, version 5.6*

You are really onto something here. Are there plans in the future for others to view your collection through the app?  Maybe like a friends list or something?

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2021-05-01, version 5.6*

I looked through a bunch of cataloging apps and this is the best plus gives you analytics if you want it.

Always curious what your cards are worth, you can do it here.

The imaging and drop downs are so easy to maneuver through. Plus improvements seem to be always coming. It can only get better!

Thank you for this app!

### 5/5 — Great app, could use some tweaking

*2021-04-18*

Awesome app, long overdue. I’ve added about 400 cards so far. As most cards are not rookies or graded, it would speed things up tremendously if those spots are pre-loaded like some of the other. Also be nice to have some of the now defunct card companies available on the scroll down. Pacific, Pinnacle so on...all in all I love this app!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We will look to implement this enhancements!

### 5/5 — Game Changer 4 Card collectors

*2021-04-02, version 5.5*

Love this App so easy to use and worth the price. I love seeing all the money I have spent on pieces of cardboard 🤪.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I have always wanted!

*2021-03-24, version 5.5*

This is awesome!  I can quickly upload my cards and easily see what I have and today’s value (eBay).  I love the export feature so I can save or print from Excel. I was able to get a breakdown of all my cards, how much I have spent, and my total value. So easy!  If you want an inexpensive app for your cards, this is the one!

### 5/5 — Great customer service

*2020-12-23, version 4.8*

Had a small issue with my password and they handled it immediately. Fantastic app to use to building an online database
