Review summary

User reviews are mixed: some praise easy scanning and available coin data, but many cite serious billing and reliability problems. Core issues include forced subscriptions and withdrawal attempts, charges after trials, difficulty canceling, and refunds being denied. Reliability problems—crashes and incorrect coin identifications/dates—are common. Features like data exports are missing, and support is seen as lacking. Overall, billing practices and inconsistent performance dominate the feedback, though a minority report positive early experiences.

Pros

Easy to scan coins with quick recognition.
Initial accuracy and useful coin price data.
Good depth of coin information and data.
Some users find it helpful for starting a coin collection.

Cons

Forced paid yearly subscription with charges and difficult cancellation.
Charges after free trial and refunds denied; frequent billing disputes.
Reliability issues: crashes or freezes when adding coins.
Inaccurate identifications and incorrect dates for coins.
Missing core features like exporting data to Excel; limited support.

2026-05-20	Ap*****	It works fairly well when using your phone to take a photo of the coin front and back. It’s not fully accurate though and the values it claims are suspect. What bothers me the most is if you store you collection into the phone, it stores a stock photo of that coin and not your actual photo of your specific coin. I can scan a 1892 Morgan with my phone camera and it identifies the coin but then I add that to a collection and it’s a photo of some stock Morgan 1892 and not my specific coin. Makes no sense? It’s not worth the yearly cost to maintain your collection

2026-04-15	va*****	The first few months of using this app was just great- it does a pretty good job at recognizing and grading coins. But now every time I try adding a new coin, the app closes or freezes. It is the most frustrating thing because this is not a free app!!! I really don’t understand all of the amazing reviews….

2026-02-13	🌹*****	It does not read the coins correctly. It clearly has the date on the coins and it’s not reading any of the coins correctly. I don’t like it I uninstalled.

2026-01-27	2f*****	I have the paid subscription and really like the ease of scanning and how accurate the current pricing seems to be. Unfortunately I need to cancel because there is no way to export to an itemized list or to excel. This is really a critical feature.
