1. [R2] Key Collector Comics App 5/5 · US Best comic collecting app and pricing database I've found so far!: I've recently been tasked with organizing and cataloguing a massive collection of gold & silver age comics, and had been looking for a solution for building a master list of all the books, and this one has been by far the clear frontrunner for apps like this. I've tried several others, and Key Collector has the most thorough data o
2. [R5] Key Collector Comics App 5/5 · US Love the My Collection Features!: I’ve been using this app since day one, it’s always been great to find the information on key comics, best out there. I took a hiatus from collecting for a few years and am slowly getting back in it and when I started using the app again I found the my collection feature. You can now store you collection on the app and track its value! Even better, the scanning
3. [R10] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US Doesn't Have A Ton of Titles: I really like the interface, but it basically doesn't have any of the 300 comics I own. I'm not interested in earning points to do their job of cataloging and uploading them either. What's the incentive? Sorry, but I really need something that's convenient and not making me do extra work during my free time. :c
4. [R12] Key Collector Comics App 3/5 · US Kinda confused but I like it: Good app just wish it wasn’t so confusing and behind a pay wall for stuff also can’t find a lot of comics I have
5. [R6] Key Collector Comics App 3/5 · US Frozen: Nice app when it works but my iPhone freezes up randomly when using the scan function
6. [R7] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US Seldom Work as Designed: The older basic version was better. Now with the scan to search feature the app freezes after 3 scans. You have to close the app to scan more. When the scan works and shows the details for the scanned book, let's say I want to click on the series and see more issues. You can't because this feature seldomly works when arrived from the scan feature. You have back out to the
7. [R9] Key Collector Comics App 3/5 · US Sources? Market values? What happened?: I’ve been using this app since its inception and I have seen it grow into what it is today. The best feature it has is the camera scanning ability. That has to be my most favorite feature to use! It can be improved, though. There are a few bugs. It crashes now and then and you need to close and reopen. After you’ve scanned a book and its details come up, i
8. [R4] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US Be better: Work on your price updates
9. [R13] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US Artificial hype and market manipulation: With the recent popularity super obscure and independent comic books, a lot of the titles have been featured on this app on their “keys of the week” “hot 10” and “trending 20” tabs causing the over hype of under ordered books and independent titles also causing market manipulation in some areas.
10. [R15] Key Collector Comics App 3/5 · US Good but could be better.: Prices sometimes are not current to sold listings. It’s great to have the information about what issues are of note, but when seeing the prices on the app and going to eBay to see sold listings…it’s different.
11. [R17] Key Collector Comics App 5/5 · US The best: I use this app almost everyday. 99% of my books are in this app. I recommend it to everyone if you are trying to price out books for resale.
12. [R8] Key Collector Comics App 5/5 · US Great app: Easy to use and a huge help in knowing what’s hot in comics
13. [R1] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US Price Gouging: With no reason of any kind since the app is pretty archaic, they DOUBLED the cost to “certain” individuals while leaving it cheap for others. Scam and a ripoff. No one from the app responds. Cash grab.
14. [R16] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US U have 2 pay real moneys: This app is so horrible it sucks u have 2 pay real moneys
15. [R23] Key Collector Comics App 5/5 · US The best comic app out there: The best comic app out there hands down have tried at least five different ones and this one is the best I’ve come across and for the price for a year is unbeatable
16. [R25] Key Collector Comics App 2/5 · US Price hike unacceptable: This is a good app, but doubling the annual fee is a bit steep. Won't be renewing.
17. [R55] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US They keep removing my review: This app is trash, I want my money back. Missing a lot of titles and require one to upload missing titles. How can you charge the community but have them do all the work! You should be ashamed of yourself. Crooks! DO NOT BUY THIS APP! I am already writing review in other places to makes sure no one makes the same mistake I did
18. [R106] Collectr 1/5 · US NO LOGIN: This app refuses to log me into my account! Im only able to log into it through desktop or my tablet but not my PHONE! It’s so dumb and good luck trying to get help these guys suck. Seeing other use it looks like a good app but unfortunately that has not been my experience therefore it gets 1 star.
19. [R37] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US Reason: It makes you pay for features you should get with the app
20. [R57] Key Collector Comics App 3/5 · GB Pay walls!: Below is my review from 2018. Since then most of the stuff I used in the app has disappeared behind pay walls, so I very rarely even use the app now. 2018 Review: 5/5 Excellent App! I use this on a regular…well worth a download.
21. [R66] Collectr 3/5 · US Limited Scans: Don’t put a limited amount of scans now I have to start all over
22. [R69] Collectr 3/5 · US Mid: You have to pay for unlimited scans and the scans don’t automatically save to your portfolio
23. [R72] Collectr 3/5 · US Ok: You have to pay to get unlimited data and scans.
24. [R75] Collectr 3/5 · US Good for people who have money to spend… which if your a collect(o)r, you do.: I recently started using Collectr over Poke TCG, because of Collectr’s superior price tracker. But, you only get 30 scans a day, which after a while begins to become less and less of a deal, but is still annoying. Also, I found it very hard to navigate. I was scanning my Pokemon collection, and because I ran out of scan
25. [R21] Key Collector Comics App 3/5 · US Jwtone: Great app for cataloging. The pricing is so far off very disappointing. But other than that I really enjoy keeping track of what I have. The 3 star review is based on pricing and it can’t find a lot of comics.
26. [R24] Key Collector Comics App 3/5 · US Lack of information: Some comics might give “A HIGH” of $500, yet when you go into graded, it says “9.8 $50.” What?! Key collector needs work. It needs massive work. I would also like to see a non-key option, as well. There’s nothing more frustrating than to look at one comic & go to the next to see its value & it’s not there. (*please note: I said, Non-Key option”) This means that there’
27. [R77] Collectr 5/5 · US Great app but missing products: Amazing app! Has almost every card you could want to scan but it doesn’t have sports cards such as soccer and I would love if you guys could add the special Chinese boxes such as the new charizard one or the poke center boxes in Japan. Once again a near perfect app but please add these at some point and it would eliminate all competition!
28. [R104] Collectr 5/5 · US Love this app but…: I love this app. It’s the perfect way to track my portfolio. However I’m starting to get into sports cards and would love to be able to add them to my collection on here. Would love to see the ability to track sports cards to be added to the app!
29. [R105] Collectr 3/5 · GB not all the cards…: it says they’ve got every card there is to collect but it doesn’t have any cards that i want to put in. my football cards. it might be good for other users but this one isn’t very good mine and other football fans views. Not very good, but if you like pokémon this would be good to use.
