### 1/5 — Scam app

*2025-08-13, version 1.6.0*

I tried and tried with this app I used my email and then my partners email but to no luck it really would have been fun to use but it just doesn’t seem to work

### 1/5 — Company No Longer Exists

*2025-02-08, version 1.6.0*

These guys mismanaged their potential for 3 years. The app and website is in the process of being completely shutdown. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-02-04, version 1.6.0*

Not user friendly and full of bugs

### 1/5 — Can’t view collection

*2025-01-16, version 1.6.0*

The fact that I can’t just put my own cards into a binder or the like to view and can only view them in the context of collections is brutal. No way to view all my cards at once.

### 1/5 — Too hard to get into

*2024-12-09, version 1.6.0*

I tried. There’s an on-boarding quest line you must do before you can claim anything achievement wise. Ok fine. I downloaded and authenticater and enabled it I did all the little things. Then have to deposit funds to go further and enable something called KYC. I tried to enable it had to go to the website. Ok fine I do that well I enter all the info and it won’t let me confirm my identity. Also when clicking to deposit funds it just pin wheels forever. It’s like they don’t want you to use their app. Oh well seemed cool but requirements are undoable apparently.

### 1/5 — Literally Worst App Ever

*2024-07-28, version 1.6.0*

Do NOT bother. Waste of time. They require you to submit all your personal info and the app itself is not functional. I used to like the cards but have stopped collecting because of how useless the app is.

### 2/5 — Onboarding

*2024-07-27*

Onboarding has been a serious pain I’ve been trying to get it done for over an hour….. I’ve managed to get everything done except 1 thing I needed my PC available as well as my phone to do the 2FA and KYC…… but I finished that but the thing that should be the easiest is being the biggest pain of all….. first deposit…. Which I don’t understand why this is needed for the onboarding process I have bought physical packs and I just want to scan them in but I didn’t want to do it until the onboarding process is done but over an hour later I still haven’t got the add funds to load up it just buffers over and over and over….. this shouldn’t even be apart of the onboarding process to begin with but nonetheless I’m gunna keep trying to get it done but geez what a pain it’s been so far to even get everything set up to get started smh

### 1/5 — Money grab

*2024-05-30, version 1.6.0*

Yep don’t download basically a pointless app unless you are willing to pour money into it…

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2024-02-17, version 1.6.0*

So basically you have to jump through like 1,000 hoops to use it properly with ZERO help.

You have to download an authentication app (doesn’t specify which one and you have to pay for those apps), then when you do download an authentication app it does nothing. You have to get a code and then you input the code and password…nothing happens. Still haven’t figured that out.

Then if you somehow figure that out without any direction or help, then you have to somehow figure out the KYC which it gives you zero advice or leads on how to do that.

Also when you redeem a physical card it just vanishes somewhere, I literally looked everywhere in the app and can’t find the card I redeemed.

### 1/5 — Don’t usually write reviews but this seems like a scam

*2023-10-17, version 1.5.0*

Stuck in onboarding / two-factor identification phase with the app. It shows me a code to use with an authenticator app but I have no idea what that means - so I think this is a scam.
