### 4/5 — Brilliant start

*2026-07-24, version 1.46.0*

Me and my Mother-in-Law have decided to sort and grow her coin collection this app has brilliant bones to start sorting her coins. as mentioned being able to create an account to log in and save data would be helpful. theirs an endless list of things that could be mentioned to add on the app but for a free to use as a basic check list PERFECT one thing that would be amazing tho would you be able to increase your catalog in the exact same way as you have but go further back in time for coins “pre decimalisation” and also including the £5 coins

### 1/5 — No Save Progress?

*2026-01-31, version 1.43.0*

The app looks nice visually and the coin valuation feature is fine, but the lack of a “Save Progress” / cloud backup makes it practically useless — especially for a paid subscription (£3.99/year).

There is no account system, no cloud sync, no backup, no restore option. If you delete the app, reinstall it, change your phone, or your phone is lost or stolen — everything is permanently gone. All the time spent manually entering coins is wasted, and you are forced to start from zero.

This is basic functionality that almost every modern app provides, especially one that stores user-created data and charges money. Without progress saving, the app is unreliable and unsafe for long-term use. Coin collections often take hours or months to build — losing all data instantly is unacceptable.

A subscription app without data persistence is poor design and very disappointing. Until a proper save/restore or account-based backup system is added, I cannot recommend this app to anyone.

### 1/5 — Please update

*2025-08-09, version 1.41.2*

2025 Patronus Harry Potter 50p
2023 Salmon with crown privy on front next to kings head 50p
2022 royal shield of arms tooth fairy 50p with star privy mark on the reverse
2022 royal shield of arms with 26/22 privy mark on the front next to the queens head

Asked in the past but no update has been done
