Just erase this bad app. Got it for free because if not would be a scam but does not Identify not even an animal **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for your experience. This app is designed specifically for coin identification, so it won’t recognize animals or other objects. If you had trouble identifying a coin, please try scanning both sides in good lighting and make sure the coin is centered and in focus. If it still doesn’t work, please contact us through the app’s Support section — we’ll be happy to help and improve the results. ### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish *2025-11-17* Identified a sugar packet as 25 different coins. Deleting it and will stick with books written by experts **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry for your experience. This shouldn’t happen, and we’ll investigate the recognition issue you encountered. If you can, please try scanning the coin again in good lighting or contact us through the app’s Support section so we can look into it and improve the accuracy. We appreciate you giving the app a try. ### 1/5 — Was excited at first to buy a one year premium for $29.99 *2025-06-17* I purchased a premium for $29.99. This morning I got onto the app and before I could proceed the app wanted me to purchase a three week. My first coin I tried to scan in, wasn’t able to be read. I made it lighter and the wrong date kept coming up Please refund me the monies that I paid for this app **Developer response:** Please contact our support via the app's Settings, and we will assist you with any questions ### 2/5 — Not Accurate At All *2026-01-02* I downloaded this app because I have some coins I wanted to identify, and because they were offering a lifetime version for free. However, when I try to scan my coins, it does come up with some of the same coin, but not of the same year or composition, as well as gives me a bunch of coins that are nowhere near what my coin is. For instance, I have a silver US Washington quarter from 1961. Now, obviously, I know this is a US quarter, but when I scan it into the app, it brings up a few Washington quarters of other years, as well as a bunch of pesos and other coins from other countries. Aside from the fact that it isn’t identifying THIS coin, it also doesn’t let me add THIS coin to my collection with the information I know about it; I have to select a coin that isn’t my coin to add it to the collection. Additionally, the scanning functionality is not very good. Instead of being able to point my phone at the coin and have it auto-focus, or even be able to tap the screen to force it to focus, I have to move the phone further away and then zoom in on it, which means I’m taking a really unstable photo, which often comes out blurry, or outside the actual scan area, so it misses part of the coin, forcing images to be retaken over and over. To top it off, the coins it does come back with often have no information about the coin, so it really doesn’t provide anything at all, except for a place to save a couple photos of your coins. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. Some coins with very similar designs (such as Washington quarters from different years) can be difficult to identify precisely, and the scanner may return similar results. We’re also actively improving the camera focus and scanning experience. Please contact us via Support / Contact Us in case of any other questions. ### 5/5 — Looks Great!! *2025-11-20* A little new to me but I’m liking what I’m seeing.
