### 3/5 — Wrong card

*2026-08-28, version 2.8.0*

It would be good if you had unlimited scans because it got wrong card so many times

### 4/5 — Loved But Now Considering Switching

*2026-08-22, version 2.8.0*

Got this app in 2025 and it was sick but I’m wondering if maybe it stopped updating prices and adding cards.

Not showing recent sales and new data anymore and could never find topps nfl chrome 2025 to put my cards in.

Support channels seem broken too when trying to reach out to developers.

Would love to stay with them but considering changing soon if issues aren’t resolved.

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-08-21, version 2.8.0*

It is a good card scanner but every one in a while I will scan and it gives me the wrong card and I scan it again, and it just gives me a complete other selection. I looked it up and oh there. Is it like the very bottom or it’s nowhere to be found but other than that it’s a very good app. And also it has limited scans Which kind of sucks. Unless you get like the premium or whatever it is. I hope the developer sees this because that would be nice so they can improve their app. So other people will like it more and but I recommend it to people who like Pokémon cards, and other TCG

### 2/5 — awful

*2026-01-04, version 2.7.3*

It took me 10 scans to do 1 card it is soooo inaccurate

### 2/5 — Do not get

*2026-01-02, version 2.7.3*

This is trash I singed up for 30 minutes and it didn’t let me scan cards it said I have to pay even the description says it is free

### 2/5 — Wrong cards

*2025-10-09, version 2.7.3*

The app shows the wrong card more than half the time and even when it get the card wrong the app still takes away one of the allotted scans if provides you. So it charge you you a scan even if the app get the card wrong smh

### 2/5 — IMPROVEMENTS!!!! pls read

*2025-10-04, version 2.7.3*

Honestly٫ this app sucks٫ I scan my card and it shows a TOTAL OPPOSITE OF WHAT MY CARD IS!!!!!!!!! PLS fix. I bought this app so I could actually scan cards٫ but it does the complete opposite. Developer  please fix 🙏 🙏!!! DONT GET THIS APP!!! IT doesn't  WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 3/5 — Handy but not great

*2025-09-06, version 2.7.3*

I’ve had the app for a few years now. It’s definitely gotten better, but now I’m stuck using it to keep my catalog of cards. 
I’d say about 1:10 at most does it scan and find the card I’m scanning. Because I’ve had it for so long, I manually put 70% of my 1004 cards that are in it. A spreadsheet is more reliable and easier.

### 2/5 — I can’t delete cards that I’m selling

*2025-06-09, version 2.7.1*

There is two cards I want to keep but they are for sell but I can’t remove them from the app

### 3/5 — Decent

*2025-06-02, version 2.7.1*

I paid for the Gold Subscription of this app. It does a pretty good job of scanning your cards in and pulls up a good amount of recent sales on eBay for the card, and they have had every card I’ve scanned in their system so I didn’t have to manually input but there’s no way for me to report to them that I just bought this card from eBay and for how much. I think It could help the app overall if I were able to include that I just bought it on eBay with the date and the price.

The user inner face is pretty basic and for the price it could include much more. But, this app does scan your cards in without you having to do a lot of pointing and shooting.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2025-05-01*

War nicht toll konnte nicht einloggen mit Apple ): sah von außen aber gut aus (:

### 4/5 — Kinda good app

*2025-04-06, version 2.6.3*

Good but can’t I remove cards that I’m selling

### 4/5 — Great app but…

*2025-02-28, version 2.6.2*

This is by far one of the best sports card apps I’ve used in a while but… due to the unfiltered posting feature there are a lot of people posting non sports related content on the app such as Christian stuff.

### 4/5 — Used to be amazing

*2025-02-14, version 2.6.1*

I started out and it was really fun and easy some prices were kinda questionable but most weren’t but now the limited scans make not as easy because I’m a free to play player or user but other than that it’s a pretty good scanning app

### 4/5 — Great app but…

*2025-02-11, version 2.6.1*

This is by far one of the best sports card apps I’ve used in a while but… due to the unfiltered posting feature there are a lot of people posting non sports related content on the app such as Christian stuff.

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2025-01-31, version 2.6*

You can only scan 150 cards in a month then they want you to pay 15 bucks and majority of the time it shows wrong card or nothing at all.. joke

### 1/5 — DONT INSTALL PAY TO SCAN

*2025-01-27, version 2.6*

Tried to reinstall to see if the devs made any quality of life adjustments. Nope, just the same app that used to be free costs money to operate. If you want to collect for free? This aint the app. If you’re serious about collecting and willing to pay? This also aint the app! This one screwed the pooch big time. 0-10 would never recommend in a million years, there are way better options for both casual and serious collectors

### 1/5 — Ne reconnaît pas les cartes

*2026-07-17*

J’ai une collection de cartes de baseball. Je les scanne et il me donne d’autres noms qui n’ont rien à voir avec la carte proposée. Très déçu.

### 1/5 — No

*2026-06-23, version 2.8.0*

Horrible switch to a different one I scan a card and it says six cents but on a different app it was eight dollars

### 1/5 — Scan

*2025-09-26, version 2.7.3*

Scanning cards makes no sense, I scan a card and the app goes pull up a whole different card not even related to the one I’m scanning

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-08-12, version 2.7.3*

See title

### 1/5 — Terrible market

*2025-08-06, version 2.7.3*

Try to make five separate orders just to have them all unfulfilled worst subscription I ever gotten save your money. They’ll give you credits and you can’t even use them because nobody fulfills their orders when you order off their marketplace. Wish I could give less than one star you’re terrible customer service asked for this review.

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2025-08-03, version 2.7.3*

I tried scanning my cards and it kept coming up with the wrong cards PLEASE FIX THIS

### 1/5 — Marketplace is a Joke

*2025-06-23*

I first thought that this app was great because of how convenient it was to simply scan a card and find the value I then was tricked into giving them a shot for a month and purchased a subscription not much changed except for more frustrations with the subscription, they gave me a five dollar credit for their marketplace so I attempted to use this credit and I tried to purchase four different items from their marketplace every single purchase was not fulfilled and I ended up having to wait 2 to 3 weeks just for them to refund my money every single time the refund for the subscription they basically told me tough luck Plenty of other apps to sell and scan cards out there. Don’t waste your time or money.

### 1/5 — Bull

*2025-04-21, version 2.6.3*

Goggle keeps sending me emails that it has information to my Gmail account and went in there multiple times

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-04-06, version 2.6.3*

It said that my Oscar Bobb new era was a a football card from 2015

### 1/5 — Unsatisfied Customer

*2025-03-04, version 2.6.2*

I don’t recommend using this app, I have a limit of 150 scans per month and every time it picks up the wrong card it counts as one of my scans. I have had a lot of issues with the app and it is very frustrating for me.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-27, version 2.8.0*

It’s a great app, and also I see what some people mean, that it’s annoying that people are posting non-sports-card related stuff. But, I think it’s also cool that people are sharing bible verses! Also, I wish it was like a camera and you had to click a button to make it scan, instead of it deciding when, because sometimes I scan it and it does it way before my camera is focused, therefore it wastes a scan.

### 5/5 — Greatest App!

*2025-04-23, version 2.7*

This app is amazing and is the best! I’ve been with them from the beginning!! Always making improvements. Best price and quality, best scanner most accurate! Can’t say enough great things! Get this app!

### 5/5 — Good But…

*2025-02-01, version 2.6*

It is a great scanner but I wish the was no limit on how many cards you can scan can you please change it back to that I real love that it help me a lot

### 5/5 — Goated sports card app.

*2024-09-13, version 2.5*

I love Center Stage! I enjoy keeping up with all my cards, and being able to buy and sell cards on the app. I have been using this app for over a year, and I really love it! I love how this app has albums that you can separate your cards into. This allows me to sort my cards into sport, team, or player, and see how much those groups of cards are worth. I have never had much trouble using the app. But, the “For You” page has been getting stuck on the same things everyday. This started happening around the time of the last update. I thought that y’all should be made aware of this. Thx for your time. God bless.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2024-08-19, version 2.4.7*

This app is perfect for checking any card’s value.

### 5/5 — Rly good

*2024-08-09, version 2.4.6*

Its pretty good for the most part.no big complaints. I love that it’s free. The only thing I would say is that it would be good if you could scan multiple cards at a time. But really solid, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Great 5stars

*2024-08-06, version 2.4.4*

I used it to look at the prices of all my cards it worker out for me and I love the app

### 5/5 — Love this

*2024-07-21, version 2.4*

It is exactly what I was looking for and was great

### 5/5 — My opinion…

*2024-06-29, version 2.3.1*

You can scan every card in your collection, categorize them, sell them, don’t sell them, whatever floats your boat. How much for all this plus more? FREE!!!!! So bust your collection out and start scanning.

### 5/5 — My collection

*2024-06-19, version 2.3*

Center stage is awesome. It has helped me in many ways such as sorting and pricing for my card collection👍👍👍
