### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-06-11*

From around 20 coins scanned, not one was identified and it gives wrong answers. On some of them the screen goes blank and stays like that. 
I payed for this as well.  
Just for the record, the coins I tried to identify were Roman and ancient coins.

### 1/5 — Couldn't even identify a US quarter

Requires purchasing expensive membership. I wish I could give it no stars.

### 2/5 — Not very informative and waste of time

*2023-10-08*

Not very Informative and waste of time. Each time you scan you have to decide which coin is the one that matches yours. Then you loose your picture have to start over. And over. Does not tell you the info you want to know and too much money weekly for that. I will cease using it and wish I could get refund.

### 1/5 — Terrible
