### 3/5 — Marty’s coin

*2021-04-18, version 2.7*

I like the app itself, but the bottom half of the quarter looks copper color and I tried changing settings and it didn’t make any difference. I also tried changing background, again no difference.

### 5/5 — Thank You!

*2015-01-09, version 2.1*

I used to enjoy this app on my iPhone 4 but after a while of not having gotten updated I chose to delete the app from my phone. But now after four years there's finally a new update and it includes optimization for the iPhone 6 which I now have. Thanks! I'm looking forward to fooling people again.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2014-11-01, version 2.0*

I tried this on my iPhone 6 and it just freezes. Tried reinstalling it, restarting my phone and it still just freezes. I tried contacting their support and the email bounces back.

### 5/5 — Best magic app!

*2014-03-06, version 2.0*

I've tried all the magic apps out there, but this is the best. It doesn't look or act an app - it looks like real magic!

### 4/5 — Please update for iPhone 5

*2012-12-03, version 2.0*

Love this trick, especially for kids, but the format of the screen shot photo gets distorted on iPhone 5. Please update.

### 5/5 — Got a lot of use out of this one

*2012-09-19, version 2.0*

Great effect if practiced

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-04-12, version 2.0*

Blows them away everytime!

### 5/5 — Excellent app!!!!

*2011-08-14, version 2.0*

I have this app and the card2phone (c2p) app. Although the c2p has more features and versatility, i find this app more dependable than c2p. This app is more stable and you don't have to worry about flashing.  Even with the shake sensitivity setting set at the lowest rate on the c2p, the coin can accidentally reappear with very little hand movement after you  apparently extracted the coin from the screen.   Then again, it can be attributed to lack of practice. I like the feature that you can customize your own coin to use on this app. I been using it and showing the effect whomever I come across.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!!!

*2011-07-26, version 2.0*

I'm a serious coin worker, and I think this app is the bee's knees for impromptu performances and more. But..., that said, I do have a request. If you can add popularly used Chinese coins like Johnsons or others. That would be AWESOME! I have some new ideas, and it requires Chinese coins. So, if you're able to throw in that. I think it'll make the app worth more than it is right now....at least for me.

### 4/5 — Awesome!!!!

*2011-06-12, version 2.0*

Nice app! It would be a cool option on next version to be able to have the phone simulate the sound of coin dropping onto screen of phone!
I perform this effect using the retention
Pass,then brush edge of my palm on screen while opening my hand palm down as if I dumped coin onto screen.
If the phone would play a (recordable) sound effect of a coin landing on screen then the illusion would be complete. Please consider this as a future option!

Thanks
