I raised my rating from 3 stars to 4 stars but cannot leave 5 stars just yet due to a lack of set trackers. If you are someone who likes to track master set progress via app, this isn’t for you in its current state. ### 5/5 — Superior to Collectr *2026-08-09, version 1.20.1* This app functions efficiently and as you would think an app should. The only thing missing is tracking for certain tcgs which are constantly expanding in the app as this takes time. ### 5/5 — Genuinely Useful *2026-08-09, version 1.20.1* Comps follow closer than Collectr, I have found. I appreciate how I can change prices for more niche items and really use this playground for tracking my inventory. Excellent tool. ### 5/5 — The Best TCG App! *2026-08-09, version 1.20.1* Tons of great features - lets you track price paid and everything! And always improving. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-08-09, version 1.20.1* App is super easy to use and navigate. Also has an insane catalog of cards so finding yours wouldn’t be an issue! Amazing app! ### 5/5 — BEST App For Anything Cards!! *2026-08-08, version 1.20.1* Love That You Can Scan The Cards & It Knows Exactly which Card It Is. Prices Are Updated very Frequently. 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THANKS!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-08, version 1.20.1* Best app for keeping track of your collection and quickly finding values! ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-08-08, version 1.20.1* I use it often to scan my cards ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-08-08, version 1.20.1* I love keeping track with rates on this app! The scan feature is legit, but I don’t have anymore uses! ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2026-08-08, version 1.20.1* This has EVERYTHING that you need to manage your portfolio, know your net worth, understand pricing so you don’t get scammed, and connect with other apps to be an active seller. Simply MARVELOUS and easy to use; and this is coming from someone that has been trying 15+ different apps. ### 4/5 — Perfekt bis auf fehlende Sprachen *2026-08-06* Ich war lange auf der Suche nach einer App, mit der ich meine Sammlung verwalten und aktuell halten kann - Shiny ist dafür sehr gut geeignet und zumeist auf aktuellem Stand (auf manche spezielle Boxen muss man ein paar Tage warten). Einziges Manko (da gibt es aber - zumindest meines Wissens - keine Alternative): Außer Englisch und Japanisch (mittlerweile vlt. auch Chinesisch) lassen sich keine Sprachen wählen, geschweige denn die Karten in den entsprechenden Sprachen ebenso tracken wie die englischen/japanischen. Da Preise und Preisentwicklungen hier teils deutlich schwanken, hoffe ich händeringend auf die Inklusion weiterer Sprachen und die entsprechenden Statistiken zu diesen Sprachen. Dann wäre Shiny 100% perfekt! ### 5/5 — . *2026-08-06, version 1.20.1* Great app ### 5/5 — Very useful tool for collectors *2026-08-05, version 1.20.1* This has made collecting extremely easy and fun for my wife and I ### 5/5 — LOVE *2026-08-04* super clean, user friendly and fast scanning! ### 5/5 — Top TCG App *2026-08-01* Better than Collectr ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-31, version 1.19.11* 10 out 10 ### 5/5 — The Best *2026-07-31, version 1.19.11* I recommend this app whenever anyone asks about collection tracking apps. My experience has been nothing but phenomenal since I joined up. Customer support is outstanding and the discord community is great also. ### 5/5 — Best Scanner App *2026-07-30, version 1.19.11* I’ve tried a few and this one has the best layout for me and also has more card variant than other ones. ### 5/5 — Pokemon *2026-07-30, version 1.19.11* Very good telling truth reliable source ### 4/5 — Great price listings *2026-07-29, version 1.19.10* Overall a great collection tracking app and good updated price listing especially bc most of the big apps won’t give you a general idea on graded pricing. My only issue I’ve noticed are some of the more unique card from yugioh are harder to get more accurate listings on. But overall amazing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. Don’t waste your time with this Collectr temu knockoff. **Developer response:** Hello, if you can email us so we can better understand which prices are inaccurate.

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 atleast worked. Don’t waste your time with Collectr temu knockoff. ### 1/5 — Shiny is alright *2025-09-04, version 1.12.8* Shiny is alright but doesn’t give u free scans and u have to get premium just to enjoy it there are much better options that u can try with unlimited scans and no fee ### 1/5 — account data lost twice *2025-07-19, version 1.12.2* signing in on spotty WiFi at a vacation home or hotel, away from home, I have had my account wiped of data twice - causing me to have to re-log all my products ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Completely Free of Fears ! *2026-08-31* No BuG + In-App Navigation is 🔥💯 ### 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 ### 5/5 — Excellent for Pokemon *2026-08-13, version 1.20.1* This app does a great job at including a variety of Pokemon singles (and sealed if you’re into that). I noticed they were missing some Chinese and they quickly added them to the app. Really impressed by their responsiveness. The app is really easy to use! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-13* I love this app so helpful for keeping track of my collection with so many extra for free as well love it. Not often you have something that it can’t find just wish you could get a few more scans for free,amazing app!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💘❤️💕💞🥰 love it 😊 ### 5/5 — LOVE IT! *2026-08-13, version 1.20.1* It doesn’t just keep track of your portfolio with market prices but it actually gives you investment information. If it’s trending up or down, the volatility, etc. It’s awesome. ### 5/5 — Best tracker *2026-08-13, version 1.20.1* Shiny is a fantastic tool that makes tracking Pokémon card and product values simple and stress-free. It combines a clean, fast interface with accurate market data and helpful visual charts to show collection changes over time. Highly recommended for all collectors, it saves valuable time by keeping all your market data in one convenient place. Also im a human not a bot. ### 5/5 — Super convenient *2026-08-12, version 1.20.1* It’s super convenient and easy to collect your cards on your phone and to be able to value your binder! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-10* The first and the last TCG app I will use. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Pokemon MASTERPIECE *2026-08-10, version 1.20.1* Best app ### 5/5 — Best Card Collecting App *2026-08-09, version 1.20.1* By far the best collecting app on the market.
