It’s not fully accurate though and the values it claims are suspect. What bothers me the most is if you store you collection into the phone, it stores a stock photo of that coin and not your actual photo of your specific coin. I can scan a 1892 Morgan with my phone camera and it identifies the coin but then I add that to a collection and it’s a photo of some stock Morgan 1892 and not my specific coin. Makes no sense? It’s not worth the yearly cost to maintain your collection ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-02-03, version 3.28* You have to pay its not free ### 2/5 — Only 2 Scans *2026-01-30, version 3.28* You can only scan two coins before you have to buy into the stupid subscription model. Not a fan… ### 3/5 — Could be amazing with report feature *2026-01-27, version 3.28* I have the paid subscription and really like the ease of scanning and how accurate the current pricing seems to be. Unfortunately I need to cancel because there is no way to export to an itemized list or to excel. This is really a critical feature. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2025-11-10, version 3.28* Did not identify what I can’t see. Didn’t even get the date right. ### 1/5 — Beware *2025-10-25, version 3.28* I used this app and asked for a refund from Apple and the company running this app, I was told I would not get my refund and the decision was final. I had it for less then 24 hours, I placed my coin in the appropriate position and each time it couldn’t identify the coin. I contacted the BBB and filed a complaint because this is a scam! ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2025-09-17, version 3.28* I downloaded the app for free trial then was charged 25 dollars immediately!!! Scam ### 1/5 — Coin search *2025-07-25, version 3.26* A piece of junk. Don’t buy. ### 1/5 — Subscription needed *2025-07-19, version 3.26* Must pay for subscription in Oder to use. BOO!! Not everyone is made of money (no pun intended). ### 1/5 — Money scam *2025-07-01, version 3.26* I get paid $50. It cost 36 dollars it’s a complete scam. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-06-30, version 3.26* I placed an order for a subscription on May 21,2025. I had a free trial period and I could cancel anytime during that trial. I canceled the trial the same day and 14 days later it began attempting to charge me. It is still attempting to charge my account and I canceled within the designated time frame. I am told it is non refundable and I would have to dispute with my bank if I let it be charged but I should not have to do all that when I complied with the the policy set my the app! ### 1/5 — Subscription required *2025-06-18, version 3.26* I was allowed to photos an one coin, then can’t get past the ‘yearly subscription page’. Why would I buy something you’ve let me take ONE photo with! PS the one photo was incorrect. Deleting ### 1/5 — CoinScan App *2025-06-15, version 3.26* Purchase on App Store but app does not work . This app is supposed to hold collections , update values and identify coins . It does none of these things . The latest version won’t even identify a Silver 1879 S Morgan MS64 . It tells me it’s a Soldi which is not even a US coin . So thought ok small bug I will redownload bad mistake ! Now it is even worse and lost all usage ! So time to contact support! Yep you guessed it no support ! Email in App Store not valid , no direct link exists and when you go to support all greyed out but gives you a nice page telling you how great they are ! NOT ! Worst $36 bucks I ever spent ! ### 1/5 — Any 5 star is a LIE *2025-05-23, version 3.26* Terrible app doesn’t even work not in the slightest 👎 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-09-07, version 3.29* Not Paying For Something like This ### 1/5 — Scans coins incorrectly *2026-09-04, version 3.29* 2 out of 2 times I would scan a coin and I can see in the scan the date and mint clearly and it would still give me a wrong date or wrong mint. ### 1/5 — Thieves *2026-07-13, version 3.29* Thieves ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-07-06, version 3.29* Incorrectly recognizes year when clearly identified…app support is non-existent. Don’t waste your money! ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-04-26, version 3.28* There is nothing free about this app except for being able to install it and check one coin deleting this trash ### 1/5 — The app is no longer working *2026-04-23, version 3.28* The app is not working, I paid the yearly subscription and it just says oops. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-04-15, version 3.28* The first few months of using this app was just great- it does a pretty good job at recognizing and grading coins. But now every time I try adding a new coin, the app closes or freezes. It is the most frustrating thing because this is not a free app!!! I really don’t understand all of the amazing reviews…. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-03-16* Not Free! Doesn’t identify year that is clearly indicated on coin…doesn’t have consistent value reporting (range for year vs collection value)…app support doesn’t respond to emailed questions! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-02-13, version 3.28* It does not read the coins correctly. It clearly has the date on the coins and it’s not reading any of the coins correctly. I don’t like it I uninstalled. ### 1/5 — How the hell does a person cancel this *2026-02-11, version 3.28* How the hell does a person cancel this app so they don’t charge my account 39.99 a month ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I can’t afford it because am living off SSI *2026-09-08, version 3.29* But thanks 🙏 ### 5/5 — Ever@799 *2026-04-24, version 3.28* Pineda7999 ### 5/5 — Coins can *2025-12-06, version 3.28* Absolutely the best ### 5/5 — Phoney *2025-08-30, version 3.28* I’ve had people send messages that they want my coins but there is nothing in the app and nothing in my email fix it !!!!! ### 5/5 — My new BFF *2025-07-16, version 3.26* Love love love it!??!? !!!
