### 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.

### 2/5 — No longer supported I assume

*2025-07-28, version 2.0.3*

Might have been pretty good when it was still being supported. Anyone know of a current app with similar functionality?

### 2/5 — Has potential but needs work

*2024-12-04, version 2.0.3*

The UI is a bit janky, crashed alot, and isn’t very intuitive.

### 3/5 — Cool app why not working

*2024-11-10, version 2.0.3*

But why no updates? Hello

### 3/5 — Disappointing

*2024-08-16, version 2.0.3*

This app is a disappointment. The bar code scanner feature does not work at all. Additionally, there is no way to adjust settings. This app needs major improvements.

### 4/5 — Camera/scanner

*2024-06-21, version 2.0.3*

Camera won’t focus on barcode when close up. Other than that, I find this app very useful. Please fix the camera scanner.

### 2/5 — Not very useful

*2024-01-05*

It looks like this app has not been updated in over three years. I have close to 20,000 books and rely on this database to organize the various boxes and issues. There appears to be no way to open a box in the app. The search is very clunky. This just needs a whole lot of improvement. Furthermore, no way to export data.

### 2/5 — Too buggy

*2023-03-26, version 2.0.3*

When working, the app is useful. However, there are constant caching issues in which the app spins infinitely, forcing a close and reopen. The barcode feature went from barely usable to not working at all. CLZ has a very functional bar code feature in comparison. 

When I leave the app and come back in (throttling between the app and an auction) the app loses my search and starts over. There is no search history to easily get back where you where. 

When you search for an issue number it only brings up one issue. Key Comics will start you at the issue (of course only if it’s a key) and displays all issues in the list after. That is a better feature. 

All in all the app is useful but far too cumbersome.

### 3/5 — New to this app but could use a few updates

*2023-01-12*

Brand new to using but im liking the app. It is interesting that all 9.4 and down slabs have exact values of raw books. Accurate?  
Also would love to see an import function. No way im spending that amount of time importing one at a time.

### 2/5 — It’s not working

*2023-01-01, version 2.0.3*

The app isn’t working for me, when it does work I love it. I get stuck on a white screen

### 3/5 — Barcode scanner does not work on iPhone 14 pro

*2022-11-22, version 2.0.3*

Barcode scanner does not work on iPhone 14 pro

### 1/5 — Avoid!

*2022-05-26, version 2.0.3*

I’m one update and this app lost my entire 2000+ book collection, than took me over a month to catalog!

### 2/5 — Terribly Slow and buggy

*2022-04-10, version 2.0.3*

This app needs a severe overhaul and update.  

- Camera barcode scanner doesn’t work no matter what you do. It’s been persistent on different iPhone models. 

- Database lookups are SLOW. 

- Page, search, image loading, SLOW. 

- Interface and navigation is too heavily layered. 

It’s a shame really. I used to like the app but finding almost useless now.

### 4/5 — 👍🏼

*2022-04-05, version 2.0.3*

I don’t mind paying for something that works and this app does. Now it could us a tad more features like the website but,  I’m overall pleased 😃

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App is terrible

*2026-08-23*

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.

### 1/5 — New version not good

*2026-08-17*

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*

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

### 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

### 1/5 — Free But…

*2025-09-20, version 2.0.3*

This may be worth the download if the barcode scanner could zoom in or autofocus when the barcode is closer to the camera. Useless function as it is.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-05-20, version 2.0.3*

I’ve never been able to use this more than five minutes before it stops working.

### 1/5 — Registering

*2023-09-03, version 2.0.3*

Won’t even let me register.

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2023-07-08, version 2.0.3*

This is such a glitchy app, to be honest it hardly works and only has limited capacity before you have to pay a monthly or annual subscription, to be honest who would pay for something that hardly works.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2022-07-12, version 2.0.3*

After I sign in it’s just a blank screen

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2022-06-06, version 2.0.3*

Password reset doesn’t send emails. Checked spam. Can’t use the app because of this.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2026-08-21*

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*

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

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

*2026-08-06*

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*

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!

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-08-13*

I can see all comics and prices of ungraded and graded comics

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-10-28*

I've been using comic price guide online since 2002. It's nice to finally have an app that I can take with me on the go but not only stores my collection that gives me pricing information.

Great company and awesome customer service whenever I need anything!

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2021-10-06*

Rediscovered a treasure trove of unopened boxes for 30 years! Was a colorful thorough compliment to my search and cataloging my huge collection (1600 and counting!). The app grading system lets you change the grade and adjusts any value, value based on grade and it’s fun to imagine cashing in, under perfect conditions!

### 5/5 — Great application

*2019-11-16*

I find this app very useful during hunting and bidding on eBay. The app is very quick when time is ticking down on an auction and i need to make sure that I don't overpay for a book. The team behind the app is responsive in answering my questions. Thanks for the app.

### 5/5 — Super tool to have when hunting for comics!!!

*2019-11-06, version 1.2*

Having this application on my cell is very helpful when I am hunting for comic books.  I recommend it!!!  Marciano Weber / CPG ID: WaveWarrior

### 5/5 — Great comic book app

*2019-03-07, version 1.2*

There are over a million comics and their values listed.  Any convention will be better with this app.  Love it and use it every time I walk in a comic shop!
