Of the three apps I looked at, this was the only app that had grading estimates. I tested two cards, both scanned twice, all had literally fresh out-of-the-pack sharp corners. Both cards supposedly graded low because the AI saw “rounding on the corners”. No rounding, flaking, surface fluctuations were on either card. Pricing on one was all over the place. One card I scanned twice, Jaylen Brown Donruss RC. First scan said its value was $56, a range of $1-$200, a COMMON card, estimated grade a 6. Second scan of the same Donruss rookie card said the value was approximately $4, ranging between $1-$15, a RARE card and would grade a 7. So the app said my common 6 was valued at $56 but my rare 7 was $4. BOTH scans were labelled as having “rounding corners”. My Drake Maye RC had closely the same fate. First scan valued at $17 with a range of $1-$40 and a grade estimate of 7, second scan said the card valued at $13, range of $1-$15 but now graded a 7. BOTH scans were labelled as having “rounding corners”. INCREDIBLY inconsistent. This app could have you wasting HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of dollars on faulty, incorrect analysis. I want my $40 back. This app is a waste.
I have a few issues that I found not good. When it identifies cards it doesn’t tell you the year of cards . Doesnt recognize the different variations of cards to value them correctly. This is what I see after doing 20 or more scans. Also would number some of the cards that wasn’t even numbered. I’m sure it can and will be fixed which leads to time it takes to identify cards which impacts a lot of us with many cards to scan. It’s slow process I guess you say per cards. When I know others will allow you to take numerous picks of cards as it searches for cards which are a lot faster is all I’m saying and I think this will to be the same one day hopefully. Wish I didn’t have to say these things but think it only fair to let others know so they can be fixed or others can make decisions on paying for this app as I have and hope you least send me my money back in this. Think it will be a good one one day just not there yet in my opinion this is.
It’s nice to have for a quick scan, but to build an accurate collection, you need to make the fields editable. If I have a 1/1 and it lists is /100 that is not accurate. Or if it’s a dual auto and it only recognizes one side of the card per input, not helpful. Should be able to include front and back for more detail and edit the details to make it more accurate and build your collection. It would make it much harder for me to cancel if I had an accurate account of my collection in here.
