### 1/5 — Absolute scam

*2026-07-26, version 5.2.18*

You have to pay to view the value of your collection! What good does 10 free views a month do? This is a complete scam to be forced to pay to see the estimated price of your items.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time or money.  They ignore when you try to cancel!!!!

*2026-07-20, version 5.2.18*

First off the app is worthless and when you try and search something it isn’t found in the database 90% of the time.  If you do find something the values are way off.  The best thing is if you go on their little site and cancel they will pretend like it didn’t go through and keep your money and whine that because they are a small business they can’t give everyone’s money back.  Scam!!!! 0 Stars

### 1/5 — Gotten lazy

*2026-07-09, version 5.2.18*

Ever since you forced people to start paying for this app, it’s slow, the prices aren’t accurate at all and it constantly makes you log in. Will not be re-buying.

### 1/5 — Scanning on phone

*2026-05-07, version 5.2.17*

The price of the most common sticker is always hidden and have to click on it to show price on mobile. Special edition price is always showing .

### 1/5 — So much worse than what I had.

*2026-05-03, version 5.2.16*

So I used to use Toy Collector2 and then 3 which was an amazing checklist for my action figure collections, then they handed things over and merged with HobbyDB. The interface is much more complicated, way to many ads in the way of being able to scroll through to do anything. I absolutely hate that an amazing app was turned to….this.

### 5/5 — Hobby DB review

*2026-04-27, version 5.2.16*

The charts and ability to look up prices in an instant are a big plus for me thank you for so much. I have been in the Funko pop collecting business for almost 4 years now and this has helped tremendously.!!

### 3/5 — Laggy

*2026-04-21, version 5.2.16*

The app lags and takes forever to load I pay for this app and should have no issues whatsoever they need to fix the bugs and work this out really unhappy with the performance of this app

### 3/5 — Ads ruin this

*2026-03-30, version 5.2.15*

The amount of ads that run on this app and your website make this app almost unusable. I would rather pay a monthly fee to use this app to track my stuff then continue to deal with these stupid ads.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2026-03-18, version 5.2.15*

Riddled with ads and only 10 free value estimates. Not paying for the subscription when I can find the info elsewhere for free.

### 1/5 — Connection way worse than Funko app

*2026-03-01, version 5.2.15*

I have to restart the app every 1-2 scans. Incredibly worse than the Funko app for functionality on the same internet
