### 5/5 — Serious collectors unite!

*2026-08-28, version 4.1.26*

If you are a serious collector this is the app for you.  It has every comic you’re looking for and a million others.  If you can’t afford $8/month, you shouldn’t collect comics.

### 1/5 — App is terrible

*2026-08-23, version 4.1.26*

The app is awful for iPad!  When you open a comic book for pricing the whole format is skewed. The information does not show up on whole page as a matter of fact it is so enlarged you can barely see anything. They need to fix this soon as makes app worthless.

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2026-08-21, version 4.1.26*

The new app is easy to use and the scan option makes incredibly easy to if you need an issue while hunting comics in the wild! Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-18, version 4.1.25*

App is great and the updates are awesome, only thing I would love to see is my collections value changes.

### 1/5 — New version not good

*2026-08-17, version 4.1.25*

The original version gave users access to most features of the main website especially accessing your personal collection.

New version is only an interface to add issues to your collection.

### 1/5 — This app used to be helpful

*2026-08-09, version 4.1.23*

This app was recently changed and you can no longer navigate by image which was its most helpful feature because it was a super fast way sometimes to locate price information. Now you have to search by typing in and the word recognition of the search function is not good. Essentially I’ve been convinced not to use this app anymore

### 5/5 — Fantastic pricing and cataloging app for your comic book collection!

*2026-08-06, version 4.1.23*

The new app is out and it is fantastic! It has a new “scan and add” feature which is a huge help when you’re out and about looking at back issues. You can quickly know if a book is already in your collection. The results come back quickly, and allows you to check variants as well.

Anything you add through the web browser site seamlessly syncs up to the app.

You can now bring your “want list” with you wherever without having to print out a list or remembering to bring along your notebook.

This is a fantastic tool to help you manage your collection. You can sort alphabetically, by price, date, raw, graded, etc.

### 5/5 — Super easy to use!!

*2026-08-05, version 4.1.23*

Love the new image recognition feature! I can just snap a picture of a comic and it identifies it almost instantly. The pricing is accurate, the collection tools are easy to use, and the app keeps getting better with every update. A must-have for comic collectors!

### 1/5 — Used to be decent

*2026-02-21, version 2.0.3*

Used to be a good app. Now every time you try to click on a book for price it crashes on iOS. Can’t even use it anymore

### 3/5 — No app updates in 5 years?

*2025-10-29, version 2.0.3*

I use the app a lot. Would be nice to see some improvements once in a while.
