Take picture (front & back), saves a backup copy for you, & gives you all the info for coins in your collection. No ads, no fees. Even save coins that you would like to have.. Wonderful app, even if you're just thinking about getting into numismatics.
I found some old coins in a drawer, I had nothing else to do, so I looked for a coin app and reviewers said this one has no ads. That was a huge persuader for me, maybe it wasn't advertised as a feature because ads will be introduced if the app proves popular, in which case I will happily pay for a premium, ad-free version. It's easy to use, I'm having fun with it, no frustrations so far and I'm a nitpicker, if there were something dumb or overlooked I'd be complaining. Winner.
Works like a charm on most coins. (One of my Korean coins was not detected, however.) I also noticed that sometimes when I take photos, the app rotates them in strange ways. I love the collection feature and that you're able to browse by country! This app provides a wealth of information, is user friendly, and comes without ads. Wonderful job, devs.
I will give 5 stars for the features it does have. Out of 50 coins so far it was spot on, first suggestion was correct for 98% and for the other 2% the correct one was listed immediately below. I would love to see better collection features such as easier to spot duplicates in the list, add dupes to trade list with a button, more granular display of details. But I won't withhold stars because this is absolutely the best recognition and realistic valuation app that I have found. Great job!!
Very easy to understand and operate. Well done. O bet it can be used for insurance infas well. Great!
This is a great app. It contains almost every detail of every coin, much better than the rest of the apps
Amazing. I'm not a coin collector, but over the years I have acquired and saved several coins. Clueless about these coins from all over the word this app has been awesome. Simple to use, and have had no problems or issues whatsoever. Definitely one of my top 5 apps! Job well done!
I'm undecided, it seems like the only coins are plain even if your is stamped off set or missing part of a letter or something it will not show you that type of coin or information, just a standard coin. If it has a off set stamp it is worth more so it should recognize these as different and match like coins it's still a great app and easy to use thanks
Very helpful app I now know what quarters are only took me 3 visits to nyc only complaint is it didn't know o e coin it says zeltoi which is Polish I tried a few apps and this is the best one
very smart app. Fast and easy to use, there is no other app like that. Still awaiting for mandatory features like capability to backup my own collection, publish new coin to the listing when missing, and add multiple coins to the same template (different year or mining places). hope it will come soon.
The best phone, coin photo caption app. For beginers as well as expert collectors. Everything you need is in this app. Just take time to read it follow the steps and take your time. Im not familiar 100% is my fist time, but as I take my time its very user friendly. Love it. And recomend it to all coin collectors that dont have all the needed tools and materials to get organized at home. 👍😉👌#1 In my Apps.
Just downloaded this app. So far I'm really liking this app. I've only done about 10 coins so far and it's been correct each time. Like I said I just downloaded and still learning. Don't know if it differentiates the coin by each date on the coin yet. If not it would be a great feature to add. Great app. guys.
Exelent app for coin collectors I tryed it out on my coins and it works like a charm. Just if the coin is a little rusty or any gunk on it, it won't find the right thing. But will not give the wrong thing it will just say could not find and give a bunch of possibilities for what the coin is. Anyway a great app definitely helps. I would recommend to get this app. A great app definitely😁👍👍
Man this one stars reviews for such a great free app with no ads really is messed up. Iam not a collected or anything but today I received a coin that looked like a 2 euro coin but wasn't. It recognised it immediately as a Marroco coin with all the info about it as well! The coin was even very foggy from use. Great job dev team, keep up the good work and thanks for the help.
Surprisingly good at coin identification. The estimated values aren't always right because sometimes the mix sometimes includes mismatched year-sets but at least there is the option to remove mismatched coins. Un-fancy but good user interface.
app is laggy, doesnt allow you use the full resolution of the camera, and when you try to use the recognition, it tells what coin it is from the ones I tested, but when you try to see the price the listing that brings up are wrong, I tried using a barber half dollar, it recognized as a half dollar , but was showing quarters and dimes
Hello there, I am really enjoying the app and started uploading my precious collection, the information about each coin is so great, I've been collecting coins since 24 years and I categorised them by years and sets, but the information section in the app for each coin gave me different ideas to categories. I have suggestions and I'll send by email, Not enough space in here
The camara could be a little better but let me say i have been waiting for someone to create a app just like this one. Im so happy i found it. It has helped me identify my world coins. It is extremely accurate from my experience using it. I absolutely recommend this app if you collect coins.
5 star is what it should get but i just cant find match to coins and it starts out in a year thats not even clise to my photo but im learning and its all new just like you may also be learning to tweek some things so the app runs quicker smoother its much fun to take photo an get an idea of what is out here an what we have "Good job"
Doesn't even let me scan the coin, my screen goes black for a second then the app takes me all the way back to the beginning, I tried several times and it just does the same thing. I even deleted it then downloaded it another time and still did the same thing
Been using this three days now cataloging coins, really is amazing. Would be 5 star if we could get an export option, csv or other format, either via app or from the servers backup. Outside of that I highly recommend this for any coin collector, well done on a great app!!
A really helpful app. It surely makes the whole coin collection process easy and hassle free. The app provides a very detailed description of the coins. The app is user friendly. Very pleased with it.
So far so good. Really like the photo storage of each coin.
Very useful. I loved it. It is very easy to operate. The app helped me to identify the countries to which some unknown currencies' belongs. But if there was an option to ask querries like - "how many countries are there in my collection?" Or "how many coins belongs to the 19th century?", Then we would be more happy. Thank you.
So far its positive. I'm enjoying taking pics of my coin collections and learning some of the historical facts. It's a bit confusing. But I hope to navigate my way to 5 stats
veey easy to use also u can have your collection here instead looking through coins .
I really don't know much about the app I just started using it so still kind of confusing to me but I don't know much about coins anyway so I'm still learning
I really like the app so far I just started it but I do have an issue with the camera every single picture no matter what how when where it's took in it never fails to say it's either blurry Overexposed and I need to retake it drives me up a wall but other than that I really do like the app
You know this app used to be superb for capturing pictures of coins and they were readable. In fact I still have it in my wifi phone. this ?updated? version is horrible I can't get one half way decent photo. It just isn't the quality it was in the original one. Iam so disappointed with this app right now. In total I have wasted an hour and a half of my time and not one coin has been catalogued. I have never even tried another app like this, because I was so pleased with this one. Now I haveto
