### 4/5 — One item needs I proved

*2026-07-08, version 3.8.8*

Love the app and have been fun adding in my collection. One issue I have is taking a photo of my coin. The camera doesn’t change zoom and it makes the coins seem far away. I also have to manually add instead of using the barcode scanner. Other than that great app.

### 3/5 — Hankdatank

*2026-06-19, version 3.8.8*

You have to answer 4 billion questions for 1 coin it’s crazy. Not my FAVORITE!!

### 2/5 — My first review

*2026-03-10, version 3.8.8*

Very confusing to use for me

### 5/5 — Must have app

*2025-06-13, version 3.8.8*

This is a must have app if your collecting coins easy to use and a great way to keep track of what is still needed in your collection 😃

### 3/5 — Good overall

*2025-02-22, version 3.8.8*

Good app with good UI 
Crashing seems to be a problem still 

Cannot add my cost to PCGS items in my inventory (can only add to non PCGS items)

### 5/5 — PCGS Coin Registry Portability.

*2024-12-23, version 3.8.8*

PCGS App provides awesome portability. Being able to use QR code scan to instantly verify slabbed coin certification is the future.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t always work

*2024-12-22, version 3.8.8*

Will not let me add my stuff and kicks me out  and have to restart the app several times.

### 5/5 — Great Inventory App!!

*2024-10-10, version 3.8.8*

This app allows us to inventory our whole collection of coins. The only problem is that PCGS doesn’t accept any other graded coins in their registry sets for competition. But you can list them all, even coins raw under “grading “   There’s also points to your profile to earn points to compete. Very useful!!  I definitely recommend this app to everyone who collects coins!!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-08-19, version 3.8.8*

love the app PCGS thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Sets

*2024-07-16, version 3.8.8*

This is a great tool to keep track of sets.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

### 3/5 — Can’t create folders in your collection

*2024-07-14, version 3.8.8*

I was pretty excited about this app. I got a lot of proof and mint sets and some random coins from an estate sale and wanted to catalog everything with prices and pictures, then be able to sort my collection for clarity instead of staring at a pile of random stuff. 

After inputting a chunk of proof sets, I found that you can create groupings of your collection by using the Sets or Showcase functions. However, you can only create Sets and Showcases with coins certified by PCGS. I understand that the Sets are considered officially verified and used for competitions, but why not allow users to create sub folders or groups in their collection strictly for their own organizational purposes?

Without the ability to create groups I’m still staring at a pile of random stuff with limited sorting functionality, but I can get that and more with a basic spreadsheet.

### 3/5 — brianu318

*2024-04-20, version 3.8.8*

Love the app but my issue the app show all my coins that I have on the dashboard when I go into my uncompleted sets it shows my rank like it should when I click on any of the sets to look at what coins are in that particular set it doesn’t show anything just blank I’ve deleted the app and reinstall same issue went on my sons phone and add the app signed in same issue not sure if it’s my account or the app the having issues I need it fixed asap it’s driving me insane plus since I’m here some coins you add might show up in one set but won’t be recognized in another set I hope I hear from someone on this issue it’s been going on for about a week now thanks again

### 5/5 — Awesome!

### 1/5 — Difficult to understand

*2026-04-30, version 3.8.8*

Hard to get refund

### 1/5 — Only allows their coins

*2026-02-15, version 3.8.8*

While their competitor (NGC) allows PCGS coins in their online registry, PCGS only accepts their own coins. That is really extremely arrogant and irresponsible for a top professional grading service. 
PCGS should open up their registry to numismatists who collect both elite graded coins (PCGS and NGC)
Just saying 😞

### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2026-01-12, version 3.8.8*

This app is slower than a sloth. If anyone knows what kind of animal a sloth it used to be fantastic but I guess they don’t care to fix this app. Anyone know a better app let me know.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2025-12-25, version 3.8.8*

Program is glitchy, says I sold 12 items when I didn’t.

### 1/5 — Issues with set registry

*2025-09-21, version 3.8.8*

I can’t figure out out to get my coins added to my set it’s very confusing

### 1/5 — Get rid of the cancel button!!

*2024-09-27, version 3.8.8*

Why is that there? Just make it a back button or get rid of it entirely so I don’t have to keep restarting a deep dive every-freaking-time I accidentally tap it thinking it’ll take be back one page rather then all the way to the Home Screen! Just make a little home button, bottom middle like everyone else. Boom, done. Be better PCGS. For real…

### 1/5 — App is not working

*2024-09-16, version 3.8.8*

I get this error message when I try to login:

### 1/5 — Needs upgrade.

*2024-02-16, version 3.8.8*

App needs to be upgraded. Free app so I dont want to complain too much. The app shows two different rankings when you open it. A Current Finest rank and then an All time finest rank. I would prefer to only see one rank and my preference is to have the app only display a current finest rank. I try to view coins for sale in the app that will help me upgrade my PCGS collection but the app will not show coins that are available for purchase that would upgrade my collection. I do receive emails from PCGS that alert me that there are coins available for purchase that would upgrade my collection and I would like for this information to render inside the app. Thank you for your consideration. JP.

I'm unable to see any issues with the "shop" functionality on my test devices so any additional information would be helpful in diagnosing the problem.
