### 3/5 — Just okay

*2026-08-26*

Out of the 30 NHL cards I scanned it only recognized about 15. Not worth it to pay. Good thing there was a 7 day free trial. Concept is good but does not really work well.

**Developer response:** Hey! We are so sorry only about half those NHL cards read right, that is frustrating, especially when the concept clicks for you and you just want it to work. Hockey recognition is exactly the kind of gap we are chasing down. Could you send clear front and back photos of the cards that missed to support@ludex.com? That helps our team close the holes fast. We are deep into rebuilding our card ID model right now, and hockey coverage is part of that push. The concept is good, like you said, and we really want to earn that paid spot with you. Appreciate you giving us a shot on the trial!

### 4/5 — Shhd

*2026-08-20, version 2.0.2*

Very good just missing something I haven’t yet thought of.

### 3/5 — Good app

*2026-08-20, version 2.0.2*

It will sometimes not show the card and scan it

### 4/5 — Rt

*2026-08-19, version 2.0.2*

Great for just wanting to know your cards value

### 2/5 — Basic

*2026-08-18, version 2.0.2*

Not bad but won't accept  both card grades and auto grades- just card grades. I like the scan feature.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-08-13, version 2.0.2*

Has a free version which isn’t on all card scanning apps so that’s VERY nice. It does randomly estimate 1 dollar cards in the hundreds however so having to tell my son his base cards aren’t worth 500 bucks feels kinda cruel.😢

### 3/5 — More room

*2026-08-12, version 2.0.2*

Needs higher card capacity and get better at scanning. Would show me the card but not the price. Like how it’s free

### 3/5 — Scanner half way works

*2026-08-11, version 2.0.2*

It doesn’t pick up a lot of cards and it doesn’t register half the time I heard this was the best one to go with? Can somebody contact me please

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-08-09, version 2.0.2*

The app is amazing, but it has nothing on 2026 topps finest and topps chrome, and some of my other cards

### 2/5 — Subscribe to See Portfolio

*2026-08-09, version 2.0.2*

Having to subscribe to see your own collection is ridiculous.

### 3/5 — Ehhh…

*2026-08-04, version 2.0.2*

It was okay but the camera works terrible and moves weird the prices of the cards are way off it gets some cards wrong like my charizard ex that should sell for at least $50 dollars but it said it was a Mewtwo that was $5 dollars 🫪. But it was okay.

### 3/5 — It does not like some cards

*2026-08-03, version 2.0.2*

I have been trying to scan some cards and some of them it does not wanna work

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-08-02, version 2.0.2*

Very good only reason it’s 4 is because sometimes when you scan a card orgives you no price range or says try again keep searching banana pug

### 4/5 — Why Won’t It Work On Some Cards

*2026-07-31*

Ok, let me just say that this is a great app. My uncle recommended me this app because he knew that I was a big sports card guy, but when I was scanning some of my cards, the ones I really wanted to see said that they were unable to find the card. I don’t understand why when I found sales on eBay and the card was in the center of the scanner. Please fix this. Other than that though, I think this is a great app. I like how you can make your own collection and see how much it’s worth. It would be a five star if that one problem was fixed. Please fix it.

**Developer response:** Hey! First off, thank you, and shout out to your uncle for the recommendation! We are so sorry some of your cards are coming back as "unable to find," that is frustrating when it is the exact cards you were most excited to log. We really want to get this sorted out for you. Please send clear front and back images of the cards that would not scan to support@ludex.com so our team can look into why they are missing. We are also sooooo close to launching a new card training engine that is going to seriously cut down on these misses. So glad you are loving the collection tracking in the meantime! I will ping you when the new engine is live!!!

### 1/5 — Price update

*2026-07-30, version 2.0.0*

The price update has been over 7 days since it last updated and they claim for it to update every day. I have reached out and no follow up due to matter. Also you have to do your own research on the cards you scan and enter them in manually. Not worth the money you spend for the services they claim to provide for you.

### 1/5 — Free trial for literally nothing

*2026-08-23, version 2.0.2*

Scanned 4 cards and it couldn’t identify ONE IF THEM WAS A JOSH ALLEN garbage.

### 1/5 — EBay link not uk conpliant.

*2026-08-22*

Gutted

**Developer response:** Hey! We totally hear you, and being in the UK and finding the eBay listing does not work for you is a real letdown. Here is the honest picture: our eBay functionality currently only works for users in the USA. It is a known limitation and something we genuinely want to tackle for our international collectors down the road. The best thing you can do is drop it at ludex.featurebase.app so it gets upvoted. That is how we prioritize, and international eBay support is exactly the kind of thing more votes help us push up the list. Thank you for flagging it, it really does help!

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-08-17, version 2.0.2*

Doesn’t scan anything. Purchased the lite version and none of baseball card were able to scan. Adjust the light and the card and still nothing. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-08-17, version 2.0.2*

### 1/5 — Have to pay to see cards

*2026-08-13, version 2.0.2*

My son plays baseball and he has a lot of baseball cards and he wants to sell them but all of his good cards are gone and now we have to pay to see them.and for some reason it says 300/60 which makes no sense and we can’t see all of them except 60

### 1/5 — Subscriptions Now

*2026-08-11, version 2.0.2*

No longer a free app. I’ve scanned over two thousand of my cards over the last four years all for free. I could view and add with zero problem and now I can’t view anything in my collection without paying. Bye bye, Ludex.
