Not one estimate appeared on any coin that I uploaded. It’s completely deceptive advertising, a waste of money in a scam. The only use this would be is in catalog in your collection. But I would go with one that has more features and is not cheating people out of money. ### 1/5 — False advertisement *2024-12-02* Could not get a value for any coin I scanned even after paying 14.99 what a rip off canceled subscription within 20 mins of using ### 1/5 — Bad App *2024-11-29* Horrible app. Does not even identify the year correctly at a bare minimum & is a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2024-11-29* App wouldn't identify the year of a near mint Morgan dollar nor would it allow me to manually update. No wonder they won't let you try before purchase. Caveat emptor. ### 1/5 — Does not give a value *2024-11-29* Does not give a value. And I paid for subscription. ### 1/5 — Not what i thought *2024-11-27* Maybe I’m not understanding the app correctly, but from what I can tell, it is not what I thought. The ad for it says it will give you the value of the coins but then it only gives you a vague description of the coin. To pay upfront for the year without a trial period, and then what seems to be the false advertisement, I’m not impressed. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-11-26* Stay away. Always gives error code . And wen it do finds something is not even close what your looking for . Pay my money for nothing . ### 1/5 — Can’t try it before you buy it. *2024-11-19* I cant buy something for a year in advance without at least knowing if it works. With only 3 reviews especially. Should just let people know it’s free to download but not free to use. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A scam *2025-01-22, version 1.0.3* It does NOT give value of the coin as advertised! It only identifies the coin, which is obvious! Total scam! I need my money back! ### 1/5 — No value shown *2025-01-09* No Value scanner ### 1/5 — Tricks you to subscribe *2025-01-06* This app says free but pops up a subscription popup. I tried to return to the Home Screen but that triggered Touch ID and bought the full year of 14.99. No way to undo, and apple won’t refund bc it’s a subscription not the app itself. Total scam. ### 1/5 — Not good app *2025-01-04* I want a refund. Doesn’t even match year I’m putting in ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time or money *2024-12-31* App couldn’t identify a 2000 Sacagawea dollar coin, kept showing as best matches for 5 dollar gold coins App states value scanner -it’s nothing more than an organizer with basic info about the coin ### 1/5 — Scammer *2024-12-28* This is garbage ### 1/5 — Want my money back *2024-12-17* Does not do what it says, so Buyer Beware it only matches up with coins that have no reference to your coin! ### 1/5 — Not functional *2024-12-14* I have tried to upload from my library. First step is good. When you are instructed to flip the coin over it switches to the camera and it will not let you continue. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-12-09* Do not purchase. It does NOT do as it says. Scam. Don’t buy. ### 1/5 — Locked behind paywall. Not pleased. *2024-12-08, version 1.0.2* At least have the decency to run ads and an optional app unlock payment instead of locking the app's primary function behind a paywall. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
