It’s a pretty decent app, my only complaint is that it doesn’t have a stash value or total amount for the cards you have scanned. I have an NBA, NFL, and MLB file, I’d like to know the total of the cards I have scanned even if it drops or goes up. Would be a nice feature. It’s kinda bland, currently looking for a new app, I bought the yearly subscription when I didn’t know any better. So if this doesn’t change, I’ll more than likely switch over to an application that does do these things I’d want. (Yes they have apps that keep your total value) other than that, it’s not a bad app to use, kinda slow, boring to look at, etc. I’d ask the major card breakers for their opinions and go with majority. You have to pay a subscription for most anyways. If you’re just looking to flip cards and not collect, definitely just stick to eBay and other websites to just sell. I collect mostly, so it would be cool to say “yeah, my collection is worth about $$$$$ amount” but nope🤣
Full disclosure: I don’t know precious little about baseball and even less about baseball cards, but I inherited an album and wanted to understand it better, and reorganize it in a way that made sense to me (by player? Team? Position? Brand? Year?) This app was super helpful in allowing me to do that digitally first. I appreciate how clean the interface is. It does exactly what you need it to do without the frills or invasive advertising of other options. I found I did have to double check the autopopulated info - sometimes it would pull the wrong production year, drop a stat into the card number value, or (depending on font) grab the wrong position (in particular, 1B was read as P and pitcher populated a few times) but a solid 90% of the time it pulled in the correct info. I found I had more fun than expected cataloging the cards I have now, and sorting them different ways. Fun app, well built!
My sons love looking up their card collection. I’ve struggled to find a card value app that doesn’t have social media integrations, comment sections, auction/buy now buttons, etc. This app looks up cards, shows the value, tracks your collection, and doesn’t have the fluff I don’t want my kids exposed to. If the developer decides to add it later, my hope is there is a way to disable those features to keep it kid friendly. I wish there was a way to view subscription tiers. I can’t tell how many cards I can store using the Free option and when I’ll run out. It scans nicely, cropping the cards near perfectly.
With a built-in scanner, value lookup, automatic information detection, checklist tracking, card sorting, flippable cards, beautiful image sharing, in...
