Unclear Estimates for Graded Cards

Downloaded this app after seeing people talk about it on X. I added my three highest valued cards (all graded) and was confused by the estimated values. For an app that advertises having the best estimating, the values did not line up with eBay last sold at all. Leaving a 3-star review based on this alone as I have already uninstalled the app; it’s not significant enough to leave a 1-star review but is disappointing.
