### 2/5 — Horrible Customer service

*2026-08-12, version 3.2.0*

Decent functionality but horrible customer service! Couldn’t get any response as to why I was being charged shipping fee for an item over $150. And being charged a processing fee for an item not in an auction. Also the don’t seem to be any security safeguards.. no way I’m uploading my bank information. Also haven’t yet been shipped a card I pulled on instapack and it’s been a few days.

### 3/5 — Frustrated

*2026-08-07, version 3.1.1*

This app keeps malfunctioning 
It keeps saying no network even while connected 
It won’t load anything 
When it works it works good
But this is crazy…I’m just gonna wait till it starts working again and just remove everything and just use a more reliable app

### 1/5 — very buggy

*2026-08-05, version 3.1.1*

extremely buggy if i use the app more than 2 minutes and start refreshing it, it starts lagging 😐

### 1/5 — Ty

*2026-08-05, version 3.1.1*

Always crashing and cant even see my collection

### 5/5 — Add Back The Activity Tab

*2026-08-05, version 3.1.1*

Back before binders I could see what type of cards people had, and see if they actually had them. The problem binders caused is now I can’t want to follow anyone new. Rare candy, please add this feature back.

### 4/5 — Let me remove my “wanted” cards!

*2026-08-05*

Great app, but there are a few issues I’ve ran into:

1. When I have a card set to “wanted” there isn’t a way to remove it, sometimes I’m able to by adding it to my collection and removing it, but it rarely works.

2. Card prices are only displayed in $, being from England I like seeing a higher number but I would also like to know in £ without going to google to check.

3. Only English and Japanese cards are able to be collected on the app, not a big deal bec I only have a few Chinese and Korean cards but it’s an improvement that would be nice to see.

Other than these I have no real problems with the app and find it to be much easier to navigate and doesn’t cost money for basic things like many other apps do.

### 3/5 — Update this app

*2026-08-04, version 3.1.1*

Every time I open this app and look at my cards it’s constantly thinking and spinning at the top and never updates so I have to get out and go back in every minute

### 1/5 — Insta packs not working for me I bought 3 an ther all loading an says they are 0.00$

*2026-08-03, version 3.1.1*

An I tried emailing the support team an no one has responded

### 4/5 — Great!

*2026-08-03, version 3.1.1*

Awesome app, needs a better “grade worthy” section. Maybe a “daily mover” section where it shows cards going up in price. As well as a graded cards section that you own.

### 4/5 — Decent!

*2026-08-02, version 3.1.1*

Better than collectr but slow! I wish I could search for cards to add to my collection as well easier, sometimes I dont have them to scan but want to add them to my “want” collection.

### 1/5 — INSTA PACKS ARE A SCAM

*2026-08-16, version 3.2.0*

Awhile back I bought some of their insta packs thinking I could order the cards that I decided to keep from them and have them delivered to my house BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY ADVERTISE instead of my cards that gave me 1000 of their in app candy currency things and an “apology” for how long the cards were taking to ship and ensured me they were still sending them, it’s been over 6 months now and NOTHING, my husband left for deployment AND came home in the amount of time I’ve been waiting for these cards. I tried reaching out to customer support via the email and never got a response from them, DO NOT BUY THEIR PACKS and tbh an app that is willing to scam people like that isn’t worth using for its other features either

### 1/5 — Doesn’t show the wright card

*2026-08-15, version 3.2.0*

I was scanning a empoleon v and it showed up as a Luca rip v so please fix that rare candy

### 1/5 — Keeps getting worse

*2026-08-14, version 3.2.0*

Was a good app for awhile and the instapacks were good at first, now you can rip a hundred packs in a row and lose money on all of them even tho they gave you bs percentages about 2% of packs being grails. Their pricing on cards is also totally off and not updated based on real time sales, I’m assuming that’s cuz they’ve been too busy screwin their customers on instapacks. Better off using collectr and buying cards you actually want.

### 1/5 — Crashes everywhere

*2026-08-13, version 3.2.0*

The app will crash on you at least 3 times per day

### 1/5 — What

*2026-08-10, version 3.1.1*

I tried to open the app and out of nowhere it kicked me out and my 100+ cards and now it won’t let me enter into my account or make any other account 
Wth is going on here

### 1/5 — Wow

*2026-08-10, version 3.1.1*

Wouldn’t even let me get in and have a username, not even spamming random letters would work 👎

### 1/5 — Not Great

*2026-08-09*

Unfortunately as an iPhone user the app is extremely slow at loading, I’m having to continuously search for cards I am scanning. The free unlimited scans feature is amazing though, just feel like there are a lot of bugs. Tried to change the $ to £ but feature also doesn’t work as Google advise how to change.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-08-08, version 3.1.1*

Signed up and was getting the hang of the app, but then logged out …. When I went to log back in I just keep getting wrong code please try again ….. I resend the verification code, enter the 6 digit code and get ‘wrong code, please try again’ …. Tried uninstalling the app and re installing to no luck … tried logging in on the website with no luck ….. the verification code comes through, but the app and website is a dime t that I’m entering the wrong code :( …. Not helpful

### 1/5 — MP cards sent from insta packs

*2026-08-07, version 3.1.1*

I hit a Charizard from 151 from one of their insta packs and had it sent to me. Upon arrival the card had decent amount of whitening on the back, along with a bunch of dot indentations on the back and a really good amount of surface scratches. I reached out to customer support to see if they could do anything, they told me no because to them the card was NEAR MINT! I would give negative stars if I could…. Stay away from this app!

### 1/5 — Can’t even use it

*2026-08-07, version 3.1.1*

You’re forced to enter a email to login .. then you don’t even get the code so without that you can’t use it

### 5/5 — My favorite scanner

*2026-08-15, version 3.2.0*

It is really just a good scanner and they do give outs and that have a feed AND… auctions it’s crazy I guarantee once you bye one pack you’ll be begging for more so I recommend

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-08-13, version 3.2.0*

Great way to keep track of collection. Ive had a great experience with the online rips. Even some of the non highlight cards have been worthy of keeping. Ive gotten quite a few master set cards that i was missing. Highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Crazy

*2026-08-13, version 3.2.0*

It is so good, no ads no money

### 5/5 — Comments

*2026-08-13, version 3.2.0*

App is Good But it needs Commets

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-08-09*

was looking for a replacement for other scan apps that dont break the bank quite so hard. This app excels, and is definitely gonna be my go to now. The scan feature is super convenient and works quite well and the app runs very smoothly. Sometimes the apps camera goes pixelated, but closing and reopening the scan function fixes it. PLEASEEE add chinese cards tho 🙏🙏🙏

**Developer response:** Really appreciate both the support and the suggestion. Many of our improvements come directly from collector feedback, and this is exactly the kind of insight we value.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-08-08*

This is a great app as I can scan as many of my cards as I want without any cost! I would love to see different currencies added so I can see the value of my cards in my country’s currency. But overall brilliant app and would highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-07, version 3.1.1*

I am finally getting my cards organized thanks to this app. Has very accurate scans.  Love this app. Great work.

### 5/5 — Devs helped me resolve my scanning problem

*2026-08-07, version 3.1.1*

Very good app once you learn how to use it :)

### 5/5 — Rare candy

*2026-08-06, version 3.1.1*

THIS APP IS AWESOME 😊😊 I have been using it for super long I have been able to scan my rare cards (my Mew 151, ect) but in conclusion, this app is awesome

### 5/5 — Solid well, earned five

*2026-08-06, version 3.1.1*

I think it is the perfect app for TCG card collectors but here are some things that I would like if you added 

1 videos to the feed 

2 free PSA grading 

3 360 rotation for cards

4 1 a week free Instapac

Thank you for understanding and I hope you can take my advice I thank a lot of people will what does four things in a update
