### 1/5 — Scan feature

*2026-01-04*

Terrible will not scan. Cancel account

### 1/5 — WHY

*2025-12-14*

Why only 3 scans 😡

**Developer response:** Sorry for the frustration. We limited free scans to help cover costs and keep the app running, but you can get more scans through our in-app packages or a subscription.

### 1/5 — SCAM BEWARE

*2025-10-10*

There is an initial pop up when using this app that asks you to sign up and pay for a premium subscription- I have always just ignored this and clicked away from it.

Apparently, one of the times using this app I didn’t hit the right area to exit and it signed me up for a $10 WEEKLY subscription. 

Scummy if you ask me - I don’t remember even confirming Apple Pay to sign up for this. Will be disputing with my bank as this is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — App does not work in any way terrible and not free

*2025-09-23*

I spent the $40 on this app in hopes that I could scan my pokemon cards that turned out to be a giant waste of money don’t waste your money here find a different app

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-08-03*

Hasn’t worked since I downloaded it. Don’t pay for it.

### 1/5 — Not handing over cash until I can test

*2025-06-24*

Won't let you scan unless you sign  up for a paid account.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-05-21*

They will not refund you after the trial ends. They continue to charge you even if you cancel. 

Useless app.

### 1/5 — Scanning doesn’t work

*2025-04-14*

Most of my cards don’t even scan and my Japanese ones, which is the reason I got the app don’t work.

### 2/5 — Currency

*2025-08-26*

Would be good if it was in English £

### 3/5 — Always No Connection

*2025-08-01*

The app was great at the beginning although sometimes it didn’t show all card in the set. I used this because of the simpler layout in comparison to tcg app but it’s been over 2 weeks that the app won’t load sets.

It got all my cards. I love it.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words and the 5 star rating. We are thrilled the app recognized all your cards and that you love it. If you have any suggestions for improvements please let us know.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2025-08-03*

Best app to get real results and accurate price results it helps me out a lot

### 5/5 — Saved me from giving up a 60$ card

*2025-04-17*

I was gonna give my lil sis my cards until i installed this app and realised i had a 60$ card

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-04-11*

Very good

### 4/5 — Ai scanner

*2026-06-07*

The app works vary well but it some time doesn’t work with some cards

### 3/5 — Constant No connection message

*2025-07-29*

I’ve always favored using this app instead of TCGplayer for its simpler layout, but I haven’t been able to look up a card or look at individual sets for a week now. The screen will load for way too long and then show me that there’s no connection even though I have full connection. I know this because I’m sitting here typing this looking at my wifi signal and it’s the highest (3bars) it can get and three cellular data bars or whatever. Please fix!

### 3/5 — Good app but tries to scam

*2025-04-04*

This app is helpful when reqserching pokémon cards and their worth however unless your a full time card reseller it is probably not worth your 7.99 a week however they make it impossible (literally) to cancel your subscription, i’ve sent a email in but until then it’s a good app however they have to allow people to cancel their subscription on the bloody app.

**Developer response:** Hello,

We’re glad to hear you found the app helpful for researching Pokémon card values! Regarding your concern about canceling the subscription, we definitely don’t want to make it difficult. Like all App Store apps, subscription management is handled through your Apple ID settings. Here’s a direct link to guide you through the cancellation process:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039

That said, we completely understand your frustration. To make it more convenient, we’ll be including a direct link in the next app update so users can easily manage their subscription from within the app.
