Excellent app and the first app I open each morning. Easy to navigate and gives me visibility of which products in my collection are on the move.

### 5/5 — Best All Around TCG Tracking App

*2026-09-08*

Been in this hobby for long enough to know that there are a bunch of different apps out there to track your collection. None of them do it like Shiny. Been here since the start always listening the users feedback and implementing and improving where they can. Super user friendly while also providing huge amounts of useful data. If you don’t have it downloaded you should!!!

After years on Collectr, I tried Shiny after my entire database was deleted by Collectr. Shiny has been amazing. The devs are attentive and always making improvements. If you really want to get involved they’re active on their Discord and are always happy to help. They’ve made me a loyal Shiny user.
