You just have to try it for yourself. Will definitely be upgrading the app as soon as I’m able to get some funds for the permanent subscription. 10 starssss ### 5/5 — Best app for tracking your cards and seeings cards value *2026-09-07* Honest this has to be my go to in terms of tracking my collection and finding the pricing quickly on other cards, the ui is smooth and easy to use, if you’re looking for a good card viewer and collector this is the one, plus it’s free!! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-09-07, version 1.21.3* Even the free version is amazing, and they’re constantly doing upgrades to ensure that this app is the only app you will ever need. ### 5/5 — This app is better than angry birds *2026-09-07, version 1.21.3* I rather play this app than angry birds…. Jk best app for TCG player, so easy to control and organize my cards! @Buggarex ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-09-07* Being able to see your card price and being able to have access to get product you need is so exciting. ### 5/5 — Very good service *2026-09-07, version 1.21.3* If you have a big collection the monthly subscription seems worth it. It stays updated fairly accurately. I have been happy using this service ### 5/5 — So far so good *2026-09-07* Seems easy to use, great aesthetic and not used the AI tools much yet but they seem to work as intended. Hopefully will use just one app now for my collection! Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-09-04, version 1.21.3* Great app… some would say it’s the best. Mainly because I say it’s the best ### 5/5 — Muy top *2026-09-02, version 1.21.3* Excellent and using easy ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-09-02, version 1.21.3* This app is so good. The creator makes awesome changes and the app is also easy to use . Coming from the Collectr app, this is best ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-09-01, version 1.21.3* Very accurate pricing. Love it. Love that it connects to double holo ### 3/5 — 3 day trial is it *2026-09-01, version 1.21.3* So far it’s seemingly good to use, but 3 days to test is not nearly long enough to see if you like it as a TCG vendor. ### 5/5 — Great interface *2026-09-01, version 1.21.3* Definitely great interface and very interactive across to understand true market value ### 5/5 — My Go to app when it comes to my TCG Cards *2026-09-01, version 1.21.3* Great app to keep track of all your tcg collections. The card recognition feature is the best I’ve used. Distinguishes English, Japanese, Chinese, etc. cards which helps me out alot when creating bulk lots to sell. I also appreciate the one time fee for pro features. ### 5/5 — Po *2026-08-31, version 1.21.3* It needs no subscription it’s better like that but for now it’s like a 4.5 ### 5/5 — Completely Free of Fears ! *2026-08-31* No BuG + In-App Navigation is 🔥💯 ### 3/5 — Poor on Dragonball and OP *2026-08-30, version 1.21.3* Slow to update great pulls on new Dragonball and OP cards. Scanner misreads quite a lot. No way to change holo vs reverse holo or if other card stuff like a Jolly like u can do on Rare Candy ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-28, version 1.21.3* Best collecting app out there ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-28, version 1.21.3* Super quality app! ### 5/5 — Shiny *2026-08-27* Honestly the best collector app I’ve found so far the subscription isn’t that pricey the scanning is fast and accurate, and the pricing is pretty close. If not exactly on market, the best thing about it is unlike TCG or other competing apps, it does not grab alternate languages to comp your card. It grabs the exact language of the card has awesome ways to organize your collection unlike other apps. Altogether my favorite app to put my collection on ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Prices aren’t always accurate *2026-08-14, version 1.20.1* Prices aren’t always accurate ### 1/5 — Nichts für DE Sammler *2026-07-13* Nichts für DE Sammler ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-06-28, version 1.19.5* Do not get this app ### 1/5 — I’m not sure why they took away all the price of the grades 1-10 *2026-05-08, version 1.18.3* Going to make me change apps ### 1/5 — Slow *2026-03-13, version 1.16.6* The guy who made this app is very slow at updating card sets and will completely ignore you when you ask him for help ### 1/5 — This app is good for two seconds *2026-01-05, version 1.15.6* DO NOT GET UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY WHEN YOU CAN JUST GO TO GOOGLE AND LOOK IT UP ### 1/5 — Works when it wants to *2025-12-16, version 1.15.3* It gives me trouble scanning almost every card it’s not worth the monthly charge as it works when it wants. ### 1/5 — Wildly inaccurate prices *2025-12-08* I spent a bunch of time moving my collection over to this app only to realize the prices are wildly inaccurate for lower volume cards. Then on top of that, they try to charge you a subscription for it and add in micro transactions… I would be fine paying if it at least worked.

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.

They’ve made me a loyal Shiny user. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-09-07, version 1.21.3* Nice to follow your inventory and growth ### 5/5 — Easy and straightforward *2026-09-07, version 1.21.3* I enjoy how simple it is to use the app and log my collection, and track the value! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
