It started this a month ago and i thought it would work again the next month but no, i paid another month and im still not able to do anything but look around the app so i had to cancel bc im not about to pay more than i already am :( ### 1/5 — DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME *2025-06-03, version 3.1.7* If I could give zero I would. First of all the app is hard to navigate, glitchy, and there are annoying pop ups every few seconds which makes it even more frustrating. Second, I paid for the yearly full access subscription but later received an email saying sorry to see you go because I canceled my membership which I never did. The app has a gold Mickey ears next to my profile name to show that I’m a gold member but other things on the app show a sad wizard with the caption “Your subscription is inactive. Please renew your subscription.” I’ve emailed their support twice and have gotten no response. All I wanted was an actual app to keep track of my pin collection. What I got was scammed. ### 1/5 — So frustrating *2025-05-13, version 3.1.7* I was happy to give the app a try, ten months ago, but it didn’t meet my needs and I deleted it. I haven’t thought about it in ages, but now they email me every day and their emails have no unsubscribe link! I’ve emailed them over and over to be removed from their list and no response. The emails just keep coming. I thought it was illegal to send bulk emails without an unsubscribe link! ### 1/5 — Cannot even load app *2025-04-29, version 3.1.7* I couldn’t get past setting up the app. I never received the confirmation code to even set up the account. Now finding out it’s not a free app, with all the pop up issues I’m glad it didn’t work. I’m a simple Disney pin collector. I don’t need all the hassle. ### 1/5 — Cant even do anything *2025-04-26, version 3.1.7* Ive had this app for a while, and even have done two trades. This morning i go to look at the new trade someone accepted me for, so excited and i click on it, it says it needs to premuim for everything i do. This used to be my favorite app but all you can do is pay. there is no point at all of getting this app. might as well put a price on it before you bought it. very unhappy ### 1/5 — Not Worth It *2025-04-03, version 3.1.7* Constant pop up to pay them money, customer service literally useless in helping me cancel an order since I had uninstalled the app almost a year prior, and then ended up having to fully delete my account as their refund option in the app doesn’t actually work. Wasted 30 minutes of my day, don’t give any more of your time, and especially not your money, to this app. ### 2/5 — Not free *2025-02-24, version 3.1.6* I don't think there is a free option or your bug is not fixed because I cannot get in without getting a subscription. I can understand offering a subscription but how do I know I will like your app. Pin trading is a hobby and I'm not looking to sell or trade. I just want to identify pins. ### 1/5 — Too many knockoffs *2025-02-09, version 3.1.5* I wouldn’t be as upset if the dealers would say they were dealing in knockoffs, but they don’t. To the untrained eye they can be taken advantage of. It’s a shame because this app is a great idea just taken over by dishonest people. ### 1/5 — Very tricky *2025-02-05, version 3.1.5* You get NOTHING until you pay them ### 1/5 — Annoying subscription pop ups *2025-02-02, version 3.1.4* I just created this account, but I cannot even explore because the app wants me to pay for a subscription. There is literally NO OPTION to not get a subscription. I would absolutely LOVE to use this app, but I cannot since I’m being forced to use my money. 😭 please fix this. I see that I get 2 free boards, but I can’t even play around with anything because I get the pop up every time. 😭😭😭 I want to like it but I can’t since I can’t look around. ### 1/5 — Scam with ‘new feature’ *2025-02-01, version 3.1.4* They changed how their app works after I finally spent the time to scan my 50+ pins front and back and used the free 2 boards to be locked out of the app being forced to pay their ‘new’ ‘better’ subscription plan. ### 1/5 — Pricey *2025-01-31, version 3.1.4* Pro: ability to scan pins is nice. Cons: they want to charge $1.50 for every sale, even for single pins. That’s nuts. This is on top of a subscription fee. Thankfully I’m not using the buy/sell feature but that seems like a money grab for the developer. Feels like we are all crowdsourcing their pin database for them and they reap the monetary rewards. you must take front and back photos of everything. The lookup process is pretty slow, which adds up when checking many pins. ### 1/5 — Don't get this app *2025-01-30, version 3.1.4* This app lags a lot on my device. I tried to add pins that I have and multiple times it tells me not found. Not able to upload anything. Worst of all you have to pay to even do anything on this app. ### 1/5 — Pricey *2025-01-13* Pro: ability to scan pins is nice. Cons: they want to charge $1.50 for every sale, even for single pins. That’s nuts. This non too of a subscription fee. Thankfully I’m not using the buy/sell feature but that seems like a money grab for the developer. Feels like we are all crowdsourcing their pin database for them and they reap the monetary rewards. you must take front and back photos of everything. The lookup process is pretty slow, which adds up when checking many pins. ### 1/5 — Need to pay *2024-12-10, version 3.1.3* This app is useless. You have to pay for everything extra, that’s pointless why am I paying to use this?! I don’t recommend ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No free plan option *2026-05-08, version 3.2.5* Don’t bother downloading it. First they try to sell you on a $99/month plan. Then they try to sell you on lower cost plans. The lowest cost plan is $4.99/month. There is no way to use this app for free. ### 1/5 — No free tier *2026-04-23, version 3.2.5* Paid only, no free tier. Dont waste your time here ### 1/5 — No free tier *2026-03-10, version 3.2.5* Fill out a 20 question questionnaire just to see there are only paid options ### 1/5 — Forces a subscription *2026-02-23, version 3.2.4* Not even going to try the app. It forces a free 3 day trial for a subscription to even get in. ### 1/5 — Pure greed *2026-01-30, version 3.2.4* $5 monthly fee just to use is embarrassing. Other apps are free just use them ### 1/5 — Not worth your time *2026-01-09, version 3.2.3* Not even sure what the purpose of this app is. Seems like only useful as a pin market because there’s already plenty of that. Very hard to actually track your pin collections, and silly to pay for. Seems very very glitchy too. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-09-28, version 3.2.2* I downloaded the app to simply scan and identify one single pin while at Disney and it couldn’t identify that pin. So total waste of time. Cancelling immediately. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money on the "gold" or other purchases *2025-09-12, version 3.2.2* Do NOT waste your money on this app. It advertises itself as the must-have for Disney fans and collectors, but that’s just a gimmick to sell overpriced memberships. The so-called “marketplace” is clunky and barely active, and the giveaways are nothing but bait—you’re basically paying for lottery entries with almost no chance of winning. The “digital boards” are nothing more than basic folders you could just create in your phone’s gallery. Trading and chatting features are slow and unreliable, and there’s nothing here you couldn’t do better in existing Disney pin collector groups online for free. The memberships are ridiculously priced: $4.99, $11.99, or even $24.99 per month—for what? A badge on your profile and some imaginary “bonus slots.” The so-called exclusive items aren’t worth it either. TOTAL waste of money and like an idiot I tried a membership thinking it would be different. It isn’t. Buyer Beware! ### 1/5 — Annoying pop ups *2025-08-25, version 3.2.0* I personally have not paid for a subscription and do not want to, but now it will not let me do anything without a pop up coming up and saying my subscription is expired. I never had a subscription in the first place making this a little frustrating. If it is a bug, let me know when it’s fixed. Until then, I will not be using this app and I recommend others to do the same. ### 1/5 — This is not free *2025-08-10, version 3.2.0* Why do I need to pay at least £5 a month to get access, most app devs make it accessible to get in for free, but you can’t finish setting up your account without choosing a subscription, crazy work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Money Bags *2025-09-27, version 3.2.2* Awesome app found all the pins I wanted ### 5/5 — BEST PIN APP EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2025-02-18* This app is the best pin app since 1. You get to trade, buy and keep track of your pins! 2. You can also meet new people on this app! It is just awesome! ### 5/5 — such a cool app *2025-02-05* you’ll love this app if you love pin trading, they provide multiple options to trade pins like third party verification, in person or direct shipping. The CEO is very nice and very helpful as well when i was getting to know the app! ### 5/5 — So much fun!!! *2024-11-05, version 3.1.2* This is such a good app to have fun with your Disney pins. Scanning them, organizing them, trading them all in one place. So fun to have everything digital! 🤩 ### 5/5 — Really great! *2024-05-23, version 3.0.10* It’s a really great app and is really helpful! One thing that could make it even better is when you scan you pin it did a better job removing the background or at least there being a option to do it myself. Other than that an amazing app and I totally recommend 😁 ### 5/5 — Awesome job with this one *2024-01-01, version 3.0.7* I subscribe just to support the dev. Couple maybe improvements 1) Don’t force a photo of back of pin 2) keep letting me add pins from anywhere not just Disney 3) let me hide blank boards I purchased for later. 4)keep up the updates!!!! Love yall and whatcha been doing here ### 5/5 — Great changes / updates *2023-12-04* MagicPin app has created an amazing feel for pin traders. Where you can now collect by selling trade, your favorite Disney pins. I am also able to rearrange all my pins on separate boards. Also able to find other pin traders inside the parks. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2023-11-25, version 3.0.6* Very easy to use and create an account ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2023-10-24* I’ve been waiting FOREVER for an app that does what this one does. It not only helps me keep track of my pins but let’s me find ones I need in the marketplace. Whoever made this - THANK YOU!!! 👏👏 ### 5/5 — Necessity *2023-08-14, version 3.0.5* This app is seriously legit! Super helpful in keeping track of all my pins. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
