Too restrictive

Having a daily scan limit on a paid app is insane.

Response from developer

Hi Skitza, I completely understand where you’re coming from, and I’m sorry the daily limit made the app feel too restrictive. The reason the limit exists is that every card scan has a real processing cost on my side as well. I’m an independent developer, and I need to balance those costs while also preventing abuse and keeping the scanning speed and quality consistent for everyone. That said, I completely understand that paid users expect much more flexibility. I’m already working on improving the limits and adding better options for collectors who need to scan a much larger number of cards. I really appreciate your feedback — comments like this genuinely help me understand what needs to be improved. You can also contact me through support anytime; I’m always happy to listen and help. If the upcoming improvements make the app a better experience for you and you’re happy with it, I’d really appreciate it if you considered updating your review to 5 stars. As an independent developer, reviews make a huge difference and directly help me continue improving the app. Thank you again for giving the app a try and for sharing your feedback.

Expensive

Inaccurate and way too expensive

Response from developer

Hi Mike, I'm really sorry to hear that the app didn't meet your expectations. I spend a lot of time trying to make the app as accurate as possible while also keeping it affordable. If you could send me an email through the in-app Support option and let me know exactly which cards were identified incorrectly, I'd genuinely appreciate it. Those reports help me improve the recognition system much faster, and I personally review every one of them. As an independent developer, every scan also has a real cost on my side (AI processing, servers, and ongoing development). That's why I have to charge for the service instead of offering it completely free. I always try to keep the pricing as fair as possible while continuing to improve the app. I'm constantly working on updates to make the identification more accurate and the overall experience better. I truly appreciate any detailed feedback, and I hope you'll give the app another chance in the future. Thank you.

Abzocke

Ich wollte nur wissen, wie wie viel meine Karte wert ist, aber dann musste ich sieben Euro zahlen, aber ich hab’s nicht gemacht zum Glück, was eine abzocke nun nicht für eine Karte wert ist

Response from developer

Es tut mir leid, dass dieser Eindruck entstanden ist. Ich würde die App am liebsten kostenlos anbieten, aber die Entwicklung, die Serverkosten und die laufende Pflege verursachen leider hohe Kosten. Du musstest übrigens nichts bezahlen – der Preis wurde dir vor dem Kauf klar angezeigt, sodass du selbst entscheiden konntest, ob dir die Funktionen den Preis wert sind. Wenn du der App vielleicht doch noch eine Chance gibst, würde ich mich sehr freuen. Und falls du deine Bewertung überdenken oder aktualisieren möchtest, würde mir das als unabhängiger Entwickler wirklich sehr helfen. Vielen Dank!

Thank you so much for the amazing review! This truly made my day. Comments like yours keep me motivated to continue improving the app and making it even better. I’m really happy you’re enjoying it—your support means a lot! 🐐

Kostet was

App ist kostenpflichtig

Response from developer

Hallo, es tut mir wirklich leid, dass die App bei dir diesen Eindruck hinterlassen hat. Ich würde die App ehrlich gesagt auch lieber kostenlos anbieten. Ich liebe Sportkarten und habe unzählige Stunden investiert, um eine große Kartendatenbank aufzubauen und die Erkennung so genau wie möglich zu machen. Leider verursachen Server, Datenpflege und die kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung laufende Kosten, weshalb ich die App nicht dauerhaft kostenlos anbieten kann. Eine 2-Sterne-Bewertung wegen des Preismodells schadet der App leider sehr, obwohl sie nichts über die eigentliche Qualität oder Funktion aussagt. Wenn du die App selbst nicht testen konntest, würde ich dich deshalb herzlich bitten, die Bewertung entweder zu entfernen oder auf 5 Sterne zu ändern. Das würde mir als unabhängiger Entwickler wirklich sehr helfen. Vielen Dank für dein Verständnis und deine Unterstützung! ❤️

App bewerten

App funktioniert gut aber es ist nicht kostenlos

Response from developer

Hallo, vielen Dank für dein Feedback. Es freut mich sehr, dass die App gut funktioniert. Die Entwicklung, Wartung und Verbesserung der App verursacht jedoch laufende Kosten, deshalb kann ich leider nicht alle Funktionen kostenlos anbieten. Bewertungen sind für mich und die Sichtbarkeit der App sehr wichtig. Wenn du mit der App zufrieden bist, würde ich mich sehr freuen, wenn du deine Bewertung auf 5 Sterne aktualisieren könntest. Vielen Dank für deine Unterstützung!

Money grab

Was able to scan 2 cards for free before it makes me pay for a subscription to scan anything else.

Response from developer

I totally understand why that feels frustrating, and I appreciate you giving the app a try. I built this app independently, and every card identification actually has a real cost on my side — from the AI/image processing to maintaining the databases and servers that keep the scans accurate and fast. I genuinely wish I could offer unlimited free scans, but I also need to make enough to keep improving and maintaining the app long-term. If the identification results were accurate and helpful for you, I’d really appreciate reconsidering the 1-star rating. A single 1-star review unfortunately hurts the app a lot more than most people realize, especially for small independent developers like me. It makes a huge difference. Either way, thank you for trying the app and for the honest feedback.

Great scanner

Was able to identify every card first try

Response from developer

Thanks so much! Really happy to hear the scanner identified every card on the first try. I’m constantly working on improving accuracy and making the app even better for collectors. Your support means a lot!

Didn’t Know about Daily Limits!

Nowhere did I see that there was a “daily limit” to scan cards. Only reason would be to collect more funds. Doesn’t help me when I want to spend a day scanning my collection… you already make me pay to retain it!

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your feedback — I completely understand how frustrating this can feel. Each scan actually has a real cost on my side (AI processing, servers, etc.), so the daily limit is there mainly to prevent abuse and keep the app sustainable for everyone. That said, I’ve tried to keep the profit margin as low as possible — the goal is genuinely to provide value to the community, not to restrict users. I also agree that this could have been communicated more clearly, and I’m working on improving that. Good news: I’m currently working on a new update to increase these limits and make the experience much smoother, especially for users who want to scan larger collections in one go. If you’re open to it, I’d really appreciate it if you could reconsider your rating after the update — it helps a lot 🙏

Sehr schlecht App ist kostenlos das scannen aber nicht

Ich finde diese App sehr schlecht außer man möchte 7€ die Woche ausgeben die App ist zwar kostenlos aber das scannen usw nicht deswegen nicht zu empfehlen

Response from developer

Es tut mir leid, dass du mit der App unzufrieden bist. Ich versuche, die Preise und meine Gewinnspanne so niedrig wie möglich zu halten, aber die App hat laufende Kosten für Entwicklung, Wartung und die Technologie im Hintergrund. Deshalb kann ich die Scan-Funktion leider nicht komplett kostenlos anbieten. Falls dir das Wochenabo zu teuer ist, gibt es auch ein günstigeres Jahresabo. Du kannst mich jederzeit direkt per E-Mail über die App kontaktieren, und ich helfe dir gern persönlich weiter. 1-Stern-Bewertungen haben leider einen sehr starken negativen Einfluss auf kleine Entwickler wie mich. Wenn ich dir helfen konnte oder du meine ehrliche Erklärung nachvollziehen kannst, würde ich mich sehr über eine Aktualisierung auf 5 Sterne freuen.

Nothing scan

Worst app ever, I should of try there free 3 days before subscribing…

I tried to scan 10 hockey cards none have work

Sorry for my spelling mistake since English is not my first language.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your feedback, and no worries at all about your English. I’m really sorry to hear you had this experience. Since your review, I’ve released a major update that fixes the scanning bugs and significantly improves recognition accuracy. I’ve also been receiving much better feedback from users after the latest version, especially about scan reliability and results. If you’re open to it, I’d really appreciate it if you could update the app and give it another try. If the new version works better for you, updating your review to 5 stars would mean a lot, as it really helps independent developers like me continue improving the app. Thank you again for giving the app a chance.

Scam

You can’t do anything without paying and when you pay you can only add 15 cards per day

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your feedback — I understand why the limits felt frustrating at the time. Since this review, the app has been significantly updated. We’ve increased daily limits, improved flexibility, and made major improvements to scan accuracy and overall image clarity. The current experience is much more generous and reliable compared to earlier versions. If you check out the latest version and feel the improvements, I’d really appreciate it if you could update your review to 5 stars. Your support directly helps us keep improving the app. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
