### 5/5 — Wonderful App and Even Better Company

*2019-11-05, version 1.0.7*

This app is excellent. It provides all the features one would need to bid in an auction. Wouldn’t bid with anyone else, given the history of this company.

### 5/5 — Auction sales

*2019-09-18, version 1.0.7*

The worst auction ever , they gave away my notes a penny for a dollar . Stay away from them they will make you regret the day you start collecting notes and coins . Thank you mark ...........

### 5/5 — Stack’s Bowers AAA+++

*2019-06-02, version 1.0.7*

Always excellent customer service and attention to details!

### 5/5 — Tetradrachm

*2018-08-20, version 1.0.4*

Best auction app on market!

### 5/5 — Dramatic improvement

*2016-04-07, version 1.0.1*

This app is a dramatic improvement over the former web site. Easy to use and fast. Well done S & B.

### 5/5 — THE app for auctions

*2016-03-10, version 1.0*

Hands down the best app of any auction house; fast, clear and easy. Now if they don't ruin it with updates as others have. I just "watched" and bid on several lots without the need of a credit card; maybe it filters out deadbeats.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2016-03-08, version 1.0*

Very easy to use. And the speed is great.

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2016-03-08, version 1.0*

By far the easiest, and most user friendly auction based app I've come across for mobile platforms. thanks stacks!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible app for such a prolific auction platform

*2026-06-22, version 1.0.29*

- search functionality is completely useless. Filters are broken and text search gets you nothing you want and everything you don’t 
- copying links doesn’t just get you the link. It also attaches multiple paragraphs of text, genuinely who is this for? What boomer designed this garbage 
- filtering for and setting watch lists is completely terrible to the point of useless
- the auction catalog UI is completely terrible

### 1/5 — All these auctions are manifestations of criminal

*2025-01-19, version 1.0.27*

All these auctions are manifestations of criminal organizations, people who buy here do not understand or do not know where to go and trust criminals, do not you realize that they are filling their pockets by selling you pieces of very low grades, I have looked at the pieces they sell and I have presented some and they do not respond because they themselves compare cheap and sell you cheap garbage, they do not know that they themselves are using you, look at the best place to sell and buy is called eBay, here they do not discriminate against you and it is a much safer place, but these places like HiBid, Heritage Auction, and stack roundabouts, are organizations that buy themselves on eBay what is cheap to sell it to you expensive and you fill their pockets, it is time for them to rent, say enough is enough!!!.

### 1/5 — Message bombardment

*2024-04-02, version 1.0.20*

The constant incessant bombardment of messages about items that I am watching has become quite annoying and I cannot find a way to stop it other than to  stop watching items. There should be a user option whether or not to receive messages. A dozen messages in less than an hour is complete insanity. It is making me have second thoughts about using this auction platform.

### 1/5 — This app is terrible

*2023-03-15, version 1.0.18*

I don’t have time to list the clunky, non user-friendly elements. But today I couldn’t log in because apparently there isn’t a country code associated with my account. So I can’t log in. You know, to fix it? Sigh.

### 1/5 — Unresponsive

*2022-05-16, version 1.0.15*

I found it pointless to submit coins for review.

### 1/5 — Coin auction on 9/18/2019

*2019-09-19, version 1.0.7*

Really was disappointed from the results ant timing of That auction , I did send all my coin collection from 6 hard years of collecting, and they went like a penny for dollar , and the timing on a Wednesday morning for that kind of auction was supper bad , I say was one for the dealers and friends to grab for 50% offf was really really really bad to my collection. I know that I will never do business again with Stack’s period ......what a big mistake I did .....shame .....

### 3/5 — Feedback

*2022-11-17, version 1.0.18*

I went to bid live at the auction… it forced me to download this app. Just some feedback that forcing someone to download an app with no other option is not a user friendly experience. Should just say hey, it’s better we think to use the app, but if you don’t want to bid live on the app, then proceed in the non-mobile optimized site. 

That’s all!

### 3/5 — The App Needs Some Improvement

*2021-07-20, version 1.0.12*

The company does a great job with the information populated in the app; however, the app itself is annoying to use. Whenever browsing a list of coins, it always returns you to the top of the list instead after viewing an item. Why doesn’t it return you to where you left off??  It seems like a small glitch, but its really bothersome.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2016-03-30, version 1.0.1*

App is fairly easy to navigate and use.

### 5/5 — Informative App

*2026-06-14, version 1.0.29*

The app is great. It allows me to post pre-auction bids. When I consign items, I can follow how they’re faring from pre-bidding through auction. Just wish they would allow push notifications each time someone bids on one of my items without having me go to check.

### 5/5 — Pleasantly Surprised

*2025-05-29, version 1.0.29*

As a web user (which I like), my expectations were admittedly low, but this is a legitimately great app from my experience so far.

### 5/5 — Best Coin Auction Site

*2025-03-14, version 1.0.28*

Very easy, user friendly, fast and convenient coin auction app ever used.

### 5/5 — Best Auction App

*2024-09-30, version 1.0.25*

I spend a lot of time on the StacksBowers website and particularly the app. This auction house has the best photographs and the app highlights that very well. All of the auction information I need is at my fingertips. I would have a few tweaks if I were designing this myself, but there’s no way I could design this app better than what StacksBowers has brought to the collecting community. They have done a great job with this app, and like I said, I spend a lot of time on it.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2022-07-16, version 1.0.16*

I don’t care how much heritage does David Bowers is the OG of numismatic auctions. This app is super user friendly. I rarely log into my account from my computer and I buy coins from SB at least once a month. All from the app.

### 5/5 — Flabbergasted

*2021-07-21, version 1.0.12*

The finest coins and currencies I have ever seen, no exaggeration. Beautiful sitting liberties and much much more

### 5/5 — Top notch

*2021-04-27, version 1.0.11*

The best all around service I have received from a coin dealer, hands down! Any questions I have, they answer either by email or by a phone call. I’ve had regular contact with them since I have started collecting. EVERYONE, that I have had contact with has been extremely nice and has done whatever it took to make my purchases pleasant and to make sure I was happy. Even though I am nowhere near one of their big spending bidders.

### 5/5 — Very good 好好

*2021-04-23, version 1.0.11*

Can bring hope to coin lovers!  And joy!  😀😃

### 5/5 — Certificar. Monedas

*2020-07-12, version 1.0.9*

Distinguidos. Señores,  tengo. Una. Serie. De monedas listas. Para. Certificar. Y poner. A.  La venta.

### 5/5 — Honest and reasonable

*2020-01-02, version 1.0.9*

Absolutely professional.  A pleasure to work with Mark Schindler.  He was patient and informative.  You know that you are not being “ripped off” when working with Stack’s & Bowers.
