Not impressed. ### 1/5 — What a scam *2025-12-30* Do not download this app it just wants access to your photos, every single picture you give it it says it is a 2021 half-dollar with the same weight, size, and rarity. Do Not download, and if you already did Do NOT give it access to your camera or photo albums. Then, even after all of that the creators somehow still find a way to squeeze adds into every possible second and button press. Their so-called encyclopedia of coin data has no data whatsoever. WHAT. A. SCAM. ### 1/5 — 100% Inaccurate and unreliable *2025-12-03* As soon as I open the app an ad pops up! As soon it ends another app pops up and this goes on for about 2 minutes of 5-10 second ads all about the same thing!! When I was finally able to use the app the camera quality was terrible even on a brand new iPhone! And when I was finally able to get a good shot after being about 1-2 feet away from the coin it identified the coin as a 2021 half dollar!!! I tried multiple times with different lighting but still the same result! I even went as far as using a picture from my photo gallery and still the same Result! A 2021 half dollar! Which 100% inaccurate because it was a nickel!!!! ### 1/5 — Awesome app *2025-11-07* Does exactly what it’s says ### 1/5 — Coin identifier-checker & scan *2025-10-28, version 1.2* Would not identify any coin correctly that I tested what a waste of my time no stars ### 1/5 — Filled with ads *2025-09-25* Tons of ads, doesn’t successfully identify a simple quarter. Gets the year and type wrong (keeps identifying it as a 2021 fifty cent piece. Requires me to watch two ads just to take another picture and try again. I tried on a dark and a light background. Totally useless. ### 1/5 — App don’t work *2025-09-24, version 1.1* Trash ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-09-20, version 1.1* Have to watch a add EVERY SINGLE TIME. I put in a photo and it couldn’t identify that it was a coin kicked me out and made me watch two adds again. So annoying. Said that if I give a 5 star review it would allow me to use the features for free, it did not! I am disappointed and the amount of ads is absolutely ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Don’t Bother *2025-09-07* Just a waste of my time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App *2026-03-05* So far just started okay ### 5/5 — Coins *2026-02-25* It offers a free something for a 5 star review ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2026-02-08* This app is great for identifying valuable coins. ### 5/5 — So good *2026-02-03* This app was great I loved it, it was accurate and fun to use ### 5/5 — Haven’t used yet *2026-02-01* I’ll know after I can access the app ### 5/5 — Quick load *2026-01-31* So far so good but ### 5/5 — RA Priceless *2026-01-28* So good, So far! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-01-22* Free and great ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-01-19* I believe I will enjoy using this app at identifying my foreign coins, especially and getting to know what my US Coins values are. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-01-15* Awesome --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
