App

If you can get signed in on the app it is a wonderful site. But..........
Good luck logging in!

Annoying

I guess seeing as how this was an issue 2 years ago it’s not been fixed I tried logging in 5 times kept saying not able to with that email and password I go to the actual website and it lets me log in with that exact email and password

Difficult to Use

This app constantly bounces you back-and-forth between the app and the website, asking you to sign in at every move. Adding new coins isn’t easy either as it doesn’t allow you to scan the barcode you have to manually enter the number.

Difficulty opening

I reset my password and proceeded an attempt to login and it failed 🙁

Undermines NGC’s credibility

Constantly acts like it’s been hacked into. It continually asked for you to sign in… like right after you’ve signed in and also when going from one tab to another. For example, to check submission status, it takes three logins. And then, after you’ve successfully logged in during the same session multiple times, it tells you that you need to change your password. This is behavior that security experts say indicate a site has been compromised. Oh yea, just who I want to trust my valuables with.

Response from developer

Thanks for leaving a review! Good news, we fixed this issue recently. Please update to the latest version of the app to see for yourself. If you have any other questions or feedback, please contact us at service@NGCcoin.com or leave an updated review.

Free No More!

I used this app regularly to verify NGC slabs by using the scanner feature. Not anymore! With the new update comes the mandatory membership. Not cool and certainly doesn't make me wanna run out and become a member. FYI. PCGS scanner app is still free.... guess they care more about keeping their fakes out of the field more than making a quick buck.

Still sucks as of 17-June-26

I read all the negative reviews, then I saw the app was updated a month ago, so gave it the benefit of the doubt. That was dumb.

Overall functionality is generally limited, the Ux is shaky and isn’t well mapped. What made me delete the app immediately, though, is the exact function I was looking for; some place “official” to track my coins (like the PSA app…). This app advertises that function, but to get to it, after you have logged into the app, you click the button, which opens a browser window, where you are prompted to… log into again…(?) Annnd when you do, you get an error.

Just get a notebook and a pen. It’ll be less frustrating and save you time.

Just use a browser instead

The app requires you to login TWICE to see your submissions/grades. And manual username/password entry, not thumbprint or FaceID. So, very tedious and slower than a browser. It’s not a native app either but a web app. All around clunky. I want to like it as I check for grades and submission status often.

What happened?

I’m running iOS 26.4.2. Anytime I run a scan on a container, the app just crashes. Can you fix it, please?

Garbage

This app is complete garbage. It doesn’t work at all. It will not scan barcodes and when you enter a barcode, it just says. Valid barcode don’t waste your time!

Cannot verify barcodes

This app is bad to say the least. It crashes every time you scan or enter a cert number.

Going to stick with PCGS because their cert lookup system is incredibly smooth and easy.

Keeps Closing, glitches need fixed

Every time I try to verify a coin
or up something app closes

Keeps Crashing

Trying to scan bar code, app keeps crashing. Need to improve.

Really not that great

The most useful function of this app has been the ability to look up coins based on their serial numbers. Well a recent update has caused that function to crash the app, which then closes. Been waiting for several weeks for a fix and nothing.

The. Price guide

Doesn’t work

Great

Love it

Not Great

The app crashes every time I try to look up a coin by its certification number. For such a prestigious company, their app is woefully inadequate.

Missing the Mark

I am a huge fan of NGC in the coin grading and encapsulation space, but I have been routinely let down by its website and mobile app— I could list dozens upon dozens of examples. I would go so far as to say NGC’s IT department is incompetent and is doing the company a disservice, especially when compared to the likes of its number one competitor, PCGS. Something needs to change. Soon I hope.

Useless

Doesn’t give anymore information than the label on the coin. No mintage or value information. Before what they call an upgrade that information was on the app. This is by far the dumbest so called upgrade ever.

Garbage App

This app is a disaster. Someone at NGC should see what PCGS is doing and copy it. Hard to believe that a company like NGC can have an app this bad.
