This app is terrible. And dosnt actually work. From navigating past the adds to get to the purpose of the app it just sits loading and dosnt ever tell me anything about the coin. So you can keep your little add hungry app. No thanks **Developer response:** Hello Our system has been updated and upgraded to give the most accurate results to users, please update to the latest version. Thank you ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2023-03-08, version 1.1* Didn’t give coin value or find correct coins ### 1/5 — Crap *2023-03-07, version 1.0* All coins I try end up being Queen Elizabeth coins!!! What a joke this app is!!! ### 1/5 — Garbage! *2023-03-07, version 1.0* Paid for the monthly plan and tried several coins. Not a single match! ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2023-03-06, version 1.0* Took a clear picture front and back of a 1946 nickel and it gave me nothing but results for queen elizabeth 2 lb coins. Do not install. Worthless. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-03-06, version 1.0* The very first coin I gave it, it came back with results. That looked absolutely nothing like the coin. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2023-03-06, version 1.0* Unfortunately I had an unpleasant experience, I was so excited to try this app, Wasn’t aware that I had to pay to actually use it , but I did so anyway. As soon as I scanned my first coin, the identification was totally off . I have many old coins from Europe as well as the United States and all of the responses were incorrect and WAY off. After six incorrect identifications, I Deleted the app and canceled my subscription all in less than 5 mins. SMH oh well there goes five bucks. **Developer response:** Dear Customer We have received your feedback and appreciate it. We have now upgraded and give more accurate results hope you can have a better experience. ### 1/5 — Needs lots of work *2023-03-06, version 1.0* Couldn’t identify a simple quarter. Came back as an African coin. Tried a coin from the uk, came back as a Chinese coin. Pictures taken both in app and from my camera roll. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-03-05, version 1.0* Picture always shows same coin camera is inverted took a picture of a wall and said it was a coin ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Save your $!!! *2023-06-19* Immediately after purchasing the app for LIFE I discovered the coin identifier doesn’t work without the upgrade. Worthless app without the identifier. I am currently looking for an app that does what it says it will! **Developer response:** Hello, we are very happy to receive your input.

Most of the times it pulled up some foreign coin I’ve never seen before . It’s not my camera cause I have no problem identifying them w Google Lens so this is not worth even lookin at at all. All wrong coins that were coin snap gave the info on. DO BETTER ! **Developer response:** Hello, we are very happy to receive your input.

After I paid the weekly fee to use it, the very first coin I loaded prompted a message that “this feature is only supported by a premium subscription” what did I pay for the first time then?! Despicable! **Developer response:** Hello, we are very happy to receive your input.

If you click on upgrade now there is nothing to upgrade to which is probably a good thing. You take a picture of your coin it doesn’t even bring up the proper coin. What it does bring up is a place to buy coins **Developer response:** Hello, we are very happy to receive your input.

I scannned a clean us nickel from 2020 and it told me it was one of several foreign coins. What’s worse it made me pay for a week’s subscription to use their service. Total waste! Do not use this scam. I only gave 1 star because I can not send 0 stars! **Developer response:** Hello, we are very happy to receive your input.

Then when you try and use the app you’re immediately informed you need to upgrade to a premium user to use the app as it states in description of app features. **Developer response:** Hello, we are very happy to receive your input.

First you can only access any content of the app if you choose a subscription (with no free trial period) second in order to access the feature I got the app for you have to upgrade to premium. Now at this point I was frustrated but I figured hey, in for a penny in for a pound, so I click on upgrade and the app freezes. Long story short, waste of time, waste of money. **Developer response:** Hello, we are very happy to receive your input.

I could not test it out on even one coin without purchasing. Chose not to mostly because of all the ads in my face. **Developer response:** Hello, we are very happy to receive your input.

Then I tried with a 1972 Silver dollar and again, the app was unable to identify it. Maybe I should have read the reviews first. I cancelled the subscription immediately and deleted the app. Hopefully, I will not be charged for just trying it. **Developer response:** Dear Customer We have received your feedback and appreciate it. We have re-tested what you said above and what you said above is completely incorrect, you can contact us via email minhduc@gammapp.net so we can guide and solve it for you. the best way possible ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2023-03-21* The app sounds pretty cool but does not work well. It failed to identify simple coins. I tried to manually search for coins in the app after the camera method demonstrated its uselessness. Several 404 errors later on linked pages and I have realized I wasted $15 on the app. DO NOT BUY! **Developer response:** Dear Customer We have received your feedback and appreciate it. We have now upgraded and give more accurate results hope you can have a better experience. please check new version ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Randomized *2023-06-05* This app is awesome. Very helpful, I’ve only been unable to in identify about 5 coins out of 50 so far. But, every other coin has been found and price value estimated in less than a minute. 😉 **Developer response:** Hello, we are very happy to receive your input.

Other than that it does a decent job of giving you an idea of what you got in your collection. **Developer response:** Hello, we are very happy to receive your input.

Very distracting, will probably delete. Can’t figure out if there is a free version. Wants $4.99 a month. Sorry I clicked to load. **Developer response:** Dear customer We appreciate your positive feedback and will improve in the next update ### 2/5 — Camera *2023-03-12* The camera and s not able to zoom in like I need it too. It’s better to upload pictures from my phone **Developer response:** Dear Customer We have received your information and thanks for your feedback. We understand and want to provide the best user experience, so we will develop this feature in the next update.
