It’s says no recent sales on EBAY and search there are plenty of sales. Tried it with some real common cards that are popular. Not a good pricing tool ### 1/5 — Not happy *2026-07-26, version 4.3.1* Never scans the cards correctly. Absolute waste of time and money ### 1/5 — Cardstock doesn’t work! *2026-07-25, version 4.3.1* I can’t get any comps for any of my cards not even the most basic ones. Now I am locked in for a year paying for something that doesn’t even work what a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-07-25, version 4.3.1* Why am I using this if out of the 10 cards I have scanned only one has given me a value estimate and the others had absolutely no reference. ### 1/5 — Brick *2026-07-22, version 4.2* Never has any comps somewhat rare cards ### 4/5 — Good but not great *2026-07-21, version 4.2* It’s good when you wanna find the value of your cards. But I just wish it would have a way to scan on card autos. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-16, version 4.2* They advertise a free trial and then immediately charge your card on file at App Store. What a wonderful experience in feeling scammed. ### 1/5 — Wth *2026-07-14, version 4.2* Why am i not able to pass the free trial page without it resetting me?!? ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2026-07-11, version 4.2* Scanned in cards and this app does not match up cards to what I scanned nor does it give me the necessary information ### 1/5 — This app sucks. It won’t even let us scan our cards. *2026-07-11, version 4.2* This app is the worst app I’ve seen in my life by ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-07-05, version 4.2* Keeps telling me my cards are different cards than what they are ### 1/5 — One star *2026-07-02, version 4.1.4* They were not showing the value of the cards after I payed for the premium ### 1/5 — Super inaccurate *2026-06-28, version 4.1.4* Want my money back ### 1/5 — Extremely inaccurate *2026-06-26, version 4.1.4* I just don’t see the point in using this, the prices are usually wrong, or the card is wrong, and when the card is correct it’s giving you a price/average between all versions of said card. Just stick to the eBay scanner. ### 3/5 — It’s mid *2026-06-25, version 4.1.4* It’s like $100 a year and it doesn’t say that you have to pay anywhere before you log on to the app. The scanner is pretty good but there’s better stuff ### 1/5 — Miss reading cards *2026-06-22, version 4.1.4* First 2 cards i scanned werent correct ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Have to pay *2026-08-27, version 4.3.5* It’s really dumb that you have to pay. It should just be straight away free ### 1/5 — Not Accurate *2026-08-27, version 4.3.5* Scanned 10 cards got each of them wrong ### 1/5 — Just awful *2026-08-25, version 4.3.5* Said it would give a free trial but still charged $107 and also can’t find any kind of card you scan ### 1/5 — AWFUL *2026-08-20, version 4.3.5* terrible. they will auto charge you $99.99 immediately after your free trial ends without you even selecting annual option. had to request a refund through Apple. ### 1/5 — Subscription. *2026-08-18, version 4.3.5* I had signed up for the free 3 day trial which prompted the app to give me the option to let me know 48 hours or 28 hours in advance to when the 3 day trial would end. I selected to let me know 24 hours in advance to which I never received the notification and was charged 100 dollars and didn’t even get to pick what subscription I wanted after the 3 day trial. The app not only chose which subscription it gave me it billed me 100 dollars. Would not recommend. ### 1/5 — money??? *2026-08-13, version 4.3.5* why would you have to pay to scan cards??? uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Yea *2026-08-12, version 4.3.5* It puts the wrong card every time ### 1/5 — Usually trash *2026-07-28, version 4.3.1* Most of the time the app doesn’t work. It’s a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2026-07-27, version 4.3.1* Thing thing doesn’t work what a waste of $20 ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-07-26, version 4.3.1* Awful functionality, scan feature is inaccurate, database lacking. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cardstock *2026-08-30, version 4.3.7* Best app for scanning cards it don’t matter what sport it is it’s always spot on ### 5/5 — Solid *2026-08-04, version 4.3.2* This is my second year of an annual unlimited subscription at the lowest rate. I’ve got 1200+ cards in my collection on this app and have used it to create collections of up to 5,000 baseball cards without issue. Its scanning capabilities are top notch and it provides a lot of sales data that other apps miss. One thing that is unique to Card Stock vs the several other very reputable apps that I also use daily is that the developers of this application seem to genuinely strive to provide the best product that they can provide without being pretentious about doing so. In 2026 that should be commended. ### 5/5 — Great app for young collectors *2026-07-15, version 4.2* It’s easy to use for younger collectors because it’s so simple and it gives you an idea of your cards price which is all I need. ### 5/5 — Review *2026-06-05, version 4.1.4* Love the app ### 5/5 — Good *2026-05-19, version 4.1* Good ### 5/5 — SO GOOD AND BETTER THAN CARD LADDER *2026-05-13, version 4.1* I think cardstock is incredible, card ladder was 20 dollars per month and this is 20 dollars per year, it shows if a cards value is going up or down. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ### 5/5 — Having to pay *2026-05-11, version 4.1* The only reason I rated this 5 stars is that you would see it. This app just makes you try to pay so much money just to scan a card pls just use PSA. ### 5/5 — Need assistance *2026-05-07, version 4.1* I signed up, didn’t even get to use it and now it wants me to sign up for a lifetime subscription. When you decline, it goes to a white screen with no option to do anything. ### 5/5 — CardStock is amazing *2026-04-25, version 4.1* Cardstock helps me with all my collections and organizing cards its just amazing ### 5/5 — IT GOATED *2026-04-19, version 4.1* This is the best app ever --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
