Customer Service addressed the issue Monday morning. Fixed the problem. Thank you. Odds for receiving tiered cards do not perform to stated odds half the time. But other than that this is a a decent app to collect Starwars character cards. ### 4/5 — MTFBWY *2026-08-22, version 40.2.0* Great Star Wars TCG app, wish there wasn’t so many hoarders and a better way to show off your cards like a cover/binder page display. May The Force Be With You. ### 4/5 — 言語 *2026-08-04* 日本語非対応 ### 2/5 — Annoying *2026-07-22, version 40.0.0* I will be deleting after years of having this app, the sets sell out like its Black Friday??? Theres no point in buying a pack when every card but one or two is sold out what are they gate keeping for? The same sets stay out for weeks at a time but sell out within a few days its honestly just annoying. I probably checked 8 different sets and all were sold out so at that point im wasting currency to purchase base cards, thats so fun. ### 3/5 — Glitches *2026-07-18, version 40.0.0* Work bench and pack openings are super glitchy. Logs out account constantly due to inactivity although I open it all day everyday. ### 2/5 — June 7 2026. Crashes a lot last couple of weeks. *2026-06-27, version 22.1.0* 1. The app crashes; a lot. 2. There is still no way to purchase a bulk amount of a set; just one at a time when at times a trader may need to open thousands to complete just the Uncommon variant. Workbench. And odds still perform to stated odds less than 50% of the time. 3. If a trader wishes to use gold credits to open packs but the initial clicking on the gold credit pack fails, then it is possible for a trader to accidentally open packs using purple crystals (which is a mistake no trader wishes for). I wrote Topps two years ago when they first started placing the continue button over the purple purchase button (originally only present on one set) Instead of removing the potential for the mishap, they replaced ALL sets with the same potential. If users complain about accidentally purchasing packs with crystals or money rather than gold credits, Topps is aware of the potential and is, in my opinion, banking off of it. 4. They have placed a paywall in order to trade for new players. 5. Events: (COTM) and (Maul Episode) more specifically are two of the most recent event offerings: The former creates odds in which a player can NOT complete a rare set within the timeframe of the event without either buying packs or using multiple accounts. There are 3 main pack opening stages in which a player opens 20, 20, 30 packs with the odds of drawing a rare card at 1:30, 1:30, 1:20 respectively. The event is 72 hours and a player can complete 3 cycles within that time if they play around the clock. Impossible odds for an event that used to almost always guarantee a player s rare set in past years (9 Rares is a complete set) The latter (Maul) offers a unique rare Event set of 5 purple cards. A player can only receive one of these rare cards by completing the event, opening the reward pack and perhaps receiving one of these purple cards as a reward. The current episode event is 2 weeks long and a player can complete 2-3 cycles per day. On average my wife and myself have completed the cycle twice per day on separate accounts for the past 13 days. We have accumulated 3 purple rare event cards between us. Impossible odds. 6. Customer service is a bot which seems to be designed to keep one in a constant loop of nothingness. What’s good 1. The sets are more beautiful across the board. 2. Base cards tiers 1-5 are more evenly balanced with regards to the amount of desirable and main characters in comparison to non main characters. 3. Daily sets, while not always performing to stated odds, are rather easy to complete (Rare, And Uncommon) ### 2/5 — New update ruined the fun *2026-06-10, version 21.2.3* With the newer big update that happened about, ehhh 4 or 5 months ago, it ruined the fun and experience of the game. Everything moved around it’s a pain to navigate through compared to the previous UI and layout. Another thing is when I try to close the app, it freezes my entire phone for 10 seconds and then my phone shuts off. They took everything we loved and made it 10x more difficult to get to missions, buying packs for the events etc. and it feels like a chore when I open the app to collect my daily and weekly missions. It’s just not as fun anymore. ### 3/5 — June 7 2026. Crashes a lot last couple of weeks. *2026-06-07, version 21.2.3* 1. The app crashes; a lot. 2. There is still no way to purchase a bulk amount of a set; just one at a time when at times a trader may need to open thousands to complete just the Uncommon variant. Workbench.

Events!! ### 2/5 — Trading is Paywalled *2026-06-06, version 21.2.3* I loved that I didn’t have to spend any money if I didn’t want to and enjoyed trading with others and building my collection. Now I can’t even trade with other users unless I pay a fee every 6 months. The app is useless to me now. Look at the recent reviews and listen to your users. ### 4/5 — Bon jeu *2026-06-04* Franchement c’est un bon jeu de cartes star Wars . Moi je m’amuse bien . Et c’est cool pour les fans de star Wars . Par contre il y a quelque petit beug ### 4/5 — Multiple Collections *2026-05-29, version 21.2.3* I’m new to this app and I’m enjoying collecting digital cards. But is there anyway to put the physical cards I own into the app? If not I think that would be a great way to bridge both forms of collecting. I can also keep a digital list of what cards I have in my possession that way. ### 4/5 — Cool app *2026-05-20, version 21.2.3* I like this app a lot but right now i am trying to get some packs but I have to wait so much for credits like I only get 4 missions a day and that barely gets anything and I have to wait 2 hours for more credits. But the upsides are it’s a fun collecting game with trading new sets daily and free rewards I highly recommend to Star Wars fans. But like I said too much waiting. And the rates are off I opened over 50 action figure packs the odds are 1 in 15 for a rare and ended up with 15 uncommons and no rares Also plz add more action figure cards ### 3/5 — April 26 2026 Trade portal issue fixed. New Flat Files set not performing close to stated odds. *2026-04-26, version 21.2.3* The new Flat files set is performing terribly with regards to stated drop odds. UC 1:6 Rare 1:15 We’ve opened 90 packs: 2 rare cards so far. This is a common issue with regards to this card trading app. Topps can not guarantee drop rates while sets continue to not yield Rarities of cards as stated in the respective sets article. 1:5 Uncommon UC will drop at 1:8; 1:3 UC will drop at 1:5 with the discrepancies increasing exponentially at the higher Rarities. the Meld section needs a lot of work. It’s too cluttered and when a trader sets it to only the sets they wish to trade, the section resets back to default after the meld recreating the original clutter. Thank you ### 1/5 — New build is unplayable *2026-04-23, version 21.2.3* App has been a lot of fun since 2015 but they changed the build in December 2025 and completely ruined it. Freezes and crashes constantly and the UI makes it a frustrating experience to use. ### 1/5 — Bugs and Freezes Galore *2026-04-22, version 21.2.3* Ever since the newest update I can’t do anything without the app freezing and having to restart it. It’s bad when the central part of your app, the trading part in your name, freezes almost everytime you go into it. Restrting the app isn’t always a fix either. This is a card trader app you can’t reliably trade on. ### 1/5 — App needs to be rewritten *2026-04-17, version 21.2.3* I am leaving the app due to the bugs. It locks you out of trading and then locks up completely. Reinstalling does not help and risks your cards. I’m on the latest iPad and iPhone with the latest update. Wasted money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ouch *2026-08-31, version 40.2.0* Paying to be a certified collector or trader? You already have to pay for certain items- but Topps adds this as a money grab? Super unfortunate as I loved playing this game :/ ### 1/5 — Too many hoarders *2026-08-26, version 40.2.0* Too many hoarders on this digital trading apps. That’s why cards sell out too quick. ### 1/5 — I hate this! *2026-08-07, version 40.1.0* Absolute horrible! I can’t trade anything even when I have like 50 cards! I can’t do a single thing! Curse the creator’s, curse topps, this game sucks! I hate this game! ### 1/5 — Star Wars trader *2026-08-01, version 40.0.0* 3 words , DOPE !!!!! Get it !!!!! Update, it’s rigged. Don’t bother. The odds are not accurate. They lie. ### 1/5 — In app purchase didn’t work, refused to give refund *2026-07-26, version 40.0.0* My son, Moffball15, tried to buy gems. It didn’t work the first time so we tried 2 more times, and we didn’t think the purchase went through. I emailed TOPPS and they said to try a few things them purchase again. We tried what they suggested. It still didn’t work. I sent Fred at TOPPS an email with a screenshot of the error message. Fred said I need to click the “info” button so we tried AGAIN. Still didn’t work and he said basically he was sorry. Turns out it DID charge 5 times but we didn’t receive any purchase! And they won’t refund my money because apparently they “can’t.” They can take money from me, but can’t give it back even when I’ve been emailing them with proof for a week. Appealing with Apple now and then going to my bank. Ridiculous. Don’t get this game if you dont want your money taken. ### 1/5 — Needs Quality of Life improvements *2026-07-25, version 40.0.0* Can we please get additional “bulk buy” options for sets, especially the Base Packs bundles? Having a 10x buy or a 100x buy option for credit (non-crystal) purchases would be great and prevent me from having to click the “1000 credit” purchase THOUSANDS of times! Additionally new UI is terrible. Now takes twice as much time to do something. Organization is awful. Clearly designed by someone who does not actually use the app. ### 1/5 — New version is bad *2026-07-23, version 40.0.0* I've been a user since week one 2015. This most recent update is the most over-complicated and confusing user interface I have ever seen. What should be a very simple and basic application has been transformed into a bloated rubix cube of user experience. Constant errors and crashes make the app experience WORSE. I just don't understand why they decided to "fix" what was never broken. So sad. ### 1/5 — No Help From Support *2026-06-21, version 22.1.0* I would give zero stars if I could solely based on their "tech support". I emailed support several times to reset my password to get back into my game and I have gotten no response back. If no one is going to reply back with help, they need to have it where you can reset your own password. ### 1/5 — Rubbish getting sued the company is *2026-06-20, version 22.1.0* Wont let me sign account does bot exist on facebook or apple even though it does FIX NOW! ### 1/5 — Constantly crashing *2026-06-16, version 21.2.3* The recent update causes all of the Topps apps to constantly crash. This went from a 5 star app to a 1 star app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-25, version 40.2.0* I love collecting characters like cad bane thrawn and Anakin Skywalker so many cool designs for cards and tons of characters as well as ships planets and so much more Five stars though I would like a set like Star Wars black figures ### 5/5 — Collection of fun *2026-08-19, version 40.1.0* I enjoy this game & like the different cards you give us ### 5/5 — It’s fun *2026-08-10, version 40.1.0* It’s fun collect open card packs my phone is 15.5 I refuse update operating system On my tablet last update I did my n my phone took up all space on my phone while update took all space on phone that’s sad I refuse do updates keep it on operating system 14 no more I can’t use it no more on operate system 16 ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-08-02, version 40.0.0* Awesome Star Wars collecting game. So much fun! ### 5/5 — App is crashing on my iPad, very annoying. *2025-11-04, version 20.11.4* Since the update app crashes every other minute. ### 5/5 — Solid app *2025-10-26, version 20.11.3* Weekly content updates, great trading system, and a great way to get into (digital) card collecting. One of the most robust and reliable digital collectible platform to date! Hopefully they dont lose the license for Star Wars 😅 ### 5/5 — There is no Japanese *2025-10-05* I am a Japanese user. I want to enjoy this Star Wars card game from the bottom of my heart, so I would like to ask you to implement it in Japanese. ### 5/5 — Kartlar *2025-09-17, version 20.11.3* Keşke daha uyguna daha iyi kartlar (Efsanevi ve sınırlı sayı) verseler. Onun dışında oyun gayet iyi. ### 5/5 — Chinese version please *2025-08-17, version 20.11.2* Love it but it would be better if there is a Chinese version ### 5/5 — my only issue *2025-07-23, version 20.11.1* There Needs to be a battle mode but not a card game you play the card and get the character and battle in pvp or character specific canpaigns --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
