Have had a positive experience with the app so far and very encouraged by the frequent updates. ### 5/5 — The greatest app for collectors! *2025-06-18* I have been on this app for a little over 2 months now, and I absolutely love this app! It is the greatest app for collectors hands down! The owners and employees of the app are always reacting and commenting on your post, and are super helpful with any questions you might have. Mantle is really great about fixing any problems you might encounter, and not letting anything get by. I am yet to come across any thing inappropriate that wasn’t handled correctly by MantleHQ. They are always wanted feedback from users, and update the app based on the feedback of their users! If you are considering downloading this app, you should definitely do so! They are groups for different collector items, and everyone on Mantle is super welcoming and friendly! Do not hesitate, and download Mantle right away! God bless. ### 5/5 — Best app ever! *2025-05-28* Mantel is the perfect app for those in the community that want a non toxic environment that you can post your favorite cards and other collectibles. Please check mantel out as it’s so fun ### 5/5 — Clean and Crisp *2025-05-09, version 1.1.9* The Mantel app is not only visually appealing, it’s also incredibly user-friendly. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-05-08* Mantel is the app I have always wanted! You can post any collectible you own! The best part, it is super clean! No one is toxic at all! ### 5/5 — Genuine community *2025-03-20, version 1.1.3* It’s like Reddit for collectors, without all the condescending snark. People actually like each other here. ### 5/5 — A fun way to experience collecting *2025-03-20, version 1.1.3* Big, early fan. Other social media sites are all over the place, but this is focused on collectors and collecting specifically. Great for sports cards and memorabilia but also great for watches, art, wine, TCG, autographs, historical memorabilia and a vast array of other items in the collectable space! ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finally, a Collector’s Community That Gets It! *2025-02-09, version 1.0.7* Mantel’s new mobile app is exactly what the hobby has been missing! Unlike other platforms where negativity can take over, Mantel has built a truly positive, welcoming, and collector-focused space. Whether you’re into sports cards, TCG, memorabilia, or anything in between, the community here is second to none—friendly, knowledgeable, and actually passionate about collecting. The app itself is smooth, easy to navigate, and designed with collectors in mind. I love the Groups feature, which makes it easy to connect with like-minded collectors without the toxicity you find elsewhere. Discussions are insightful, trading is seamless, and the entire experience feels curated for true hobby enthusiasts rather than just another social media free-for-all. If you’re tired of the chaos and negativity in other collecting spaces, Mantel is a breath of fresh air. This is the future of online collecting communities, and I’m all in! 🚀 ### 5/5 — So far, pretty fun! *2025-01-01* Fun way to connect and share your collection. Like Instagram meets Reddit for collectors of all types. I’m enjoying my time there posting and seeing others. I think search functionality was just added and they need a DM addition too so you can connect with others more easily. But it’s a nice start! ### 5/5 — Addicting *2024-12-14, version 1.0.2* Mantel is a social community for collectors without all of the toxicity of other platforms. Find myself constantly hitting refresh in this slick new mobile app. LOVE MANTEL!!! ### 5/5 — Must Have App for Collectors *2024-12-13, version 1.0.2* This app is a game-changer for collectors! If you’re into collectibles, whether it’s cards, coins, or memorabilia, this app is a must-have. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Great App For Collectors *2024-12-13, version 1.0.2* Love this app and happy to be part of a positive community. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App would not load my profile *2026-05-07, version 1.5.0* Starting this morning the app would not load my profile, would not respond to logging out and will now not allow me to log in. Opening the app only stays on the green load page. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2026-03-29, version 1.4.2* Downloaded, opened app. Stated there was an update. Updated. Make my account. Started the tutorial and froze at the end. Couldn’t move past to use the app. ### 1/5 — Freezes on opening tutorial *2025-11-17, version 1.3.7* Signed up before all good. Got a new iPhone 17 Pro Max most recent iOS and now downloaded the app and I can’t get past the opening tutorial. Get stuck on the “done” button and won’t progress. Tried many times. Here I am just trying to vote for the awards and enter the contest for the trophy. ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2025-09-11, version 1.3.6* I was unable to create an account using Apple ID, couldn't do any searches and every page was blank. Fastest I've deleted an app in awhile. ### 1/5 — LAME *2025-07-26, version 1.3.2* This app is super lame. So the premise of this app is to take pictures of your sports cards and post them like FB posts in hopes that some other dude will comment on them? I mean seriously!! Don’t waste the energy! ### 2/5 — Please fix *2026-01-13, version 1.3.7* Whenever I try to add a post I go to take the picture and it kicks me out ### 2/5 — I will update as app continues to improve *2025-06-10, version 1.2.1* I do wish the current ratings on the app reflected the “beta” stage it feels like it is in. Being unable to edit your profile/about me details and profile photo in the app after your initial sign up seems very archaic to me. Certain actions like those can only be done on the desktop/web page. In addition, it seems you can’t simply forward a post to another user within the app, you can literally only forward it through other means like whatsapp/texts. Opening a post to see comments also has a VERY noticeable lag. I like the idea of this being trading card/hobby specific, but I think the reviews are misleading as well as the product, for now, and will be until the app version literally works like todays modern social apps do. ### 3/5 — Was Good *2025-12-10, version 1.3.7* Had been using the app for a few months. While not perfect, it worked decently. Then I started hearing about people being kicked off and not able to sign back in. Well, it finally happened to me too. It will not let me back in. When I checked out the create an acct page I noticed you can only use Apple or Gmail for your email address. I don’t have either. It looks like they might be culling all accounts without Apple or Gmail. ### 5/5 — CLARKCASAS1 *2025-09-19, version 1.3.7* This is absolutely the best site to show , buy ,or sell collectables especially sports collectables, I have been collecting since the 70’s and I love this app !!! Just try it ,it’s completely free ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-07-29, version 1.3.2* Been on Mantel since Day 1. It’s been so fun to watch it grow. Every collector should be on Mantel :) ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun App *2025-07-29, version 1.3.2* Nice little app fun for collectors need to figure out what I’m not seeing but like it a lot so far ### 5/5 — Fun App! *2025-07-28, version 1.3.2* Great app to share the fun of collecting. ### 5/5 — Mantel is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 *2025-07-28, version 1.3.2* I highly recommend you download Mantel great App ### 5/5 — A collector’s paradise! *2025-07-28, version 1.3.2* Mantel is a gem for trading card enthusiasts. The community is super engaged and it’s the perfect place to share, discover, and connect with other collectors. Can’t wait to see what’s to come in the future! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2025-07-28, version 1.3.2* Great for collector! ### 5/5 — Great Community!! *2025-07-28, version 1.3.2* I have been on the app for just about two months now, and I absolutely love it. It’s nice to be able to connect with other collectors and not be overwhelmed with flippers/resellers who don’t have a clue about the hobby. I also love how engaged the Mantel team is in posting, commenting, and just being a part of the community they built. You can tell it was built out of passion and the love for collecting and just wanting to have a place to connect with folks who share similar interests. ### 5/5 — Best app ever! *2025-07-28, version 1.3.2* I love this app! Best app for collectors to come together and talk about what we all love! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-07-28, version 1.3.2* Great app for collectors nice people nice community trustworthy collectors great app all around always being updated --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
