### 1/5 — Can’t delete Account

*2026-06-20, version 2.1.0*

Unable to delete account

### 3/5 — App is Glitchy

*2026-05-05, version 2.0.1*

Good for Inventory and grading assumption but the app is super glitchy especially with iPhone. Sometimes the camera freezes and it doesn’t update quick with recent comics like other apps. Hopefully, they fix these items cause I like the format just wished it worked as advertised.

### 2/5 — Useful but glitchy

*2026-01-18, version 2.0.0*

Very glitchy and slow loading app. It’s somewhat accurate on pricing. Use it for reference only.

### 2/5 — Sharing is the best feature

*2025-12-11, version 2.0.0*

Luv the app but the database is way behind. Releases from 6 months ago are still not scanning. Sharing collection is unique and probably the only reason I’m still using the app.

### 2/5 — Stopped adding new comics

*2025-11-11, version 2.0.0*

I’ve used this app for over a year and found that most new releases were being kept up with. Maybe not the variants right away but at least the A cover. After the last update that’s no longer a thing I guess. Last month or so I’ve had to enter in each comic manually. It’s really taken the wind out of my cataloging. Oh well time to find a new place to catalog my collection

### 3/5 — Was better before

*2025-10-31, version 2.0.0*

Since the update a few weeks ago I’ve had nothing but trouble. I liked the store was separate, cause now everything has slowed to a crawl. I’m hoping upcoming updates will fix this cause I really do love this app and want it to work

### 3/5 — Latest update

*2025-10-22, version 2.0.0*

Liked the original layout better.

### 5/5 — Good for Collecting

*2025-10-22, version 2.0.0*

It simply works. It tracks your comics and provides the necessary info and features need for a basic collection. I can easily find what I have as well as see what other people have in their collections. While I don’t know how accurate the prices/values are, the app is completely free, unlike many of its competitors. Recent updates have also improved the app drastically from the original beta.

### 5/5 — Great…but the font!

*2025-10-17, version 2.0.0*

App has always worked for me, it’s how I catalogue my collection.  Just wish the font was a bit bigger in this new update.  My old eyes struggle with the micro font if I’m out & about without my glasses!

### 1/5 — App is not aware of the notch

*2025-09-19, version 1.6.0*

I’ve just downloaded this app because it’s required for selling a collection through Comics Into Cash. I haven’t even scanned a single comic, and already I’ve found that the app is fundamentally broken. Specifically, it ignores the notch and banner at the top of the screen (iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 18.6.2), placing the account icon and three-dot menu within that zone while still displaying the time/battery banner, making those controls completely inaccessible. This isn’t just poor UI design—it’s IGNORANT UI design. I will still give it a try at scanning, but I’m expecting this app to be the deal-breaker on me working with Comics Into Cash.
