Lots of bugs like collection being hidden when you search and losing your scans mid processing. Scans often fails to identify the right games then just hallucinates random popular games.

Developer Response
Thanks for the detailed feedback and sorry for the frustration. You've flagged three real issues: search hiding your collection, scans dropping mid-process and misidentified games. We recently did an update which has improved on the scan reliability and bug fixes like you mention. If you are open to more feedback, please reach out via https://boardgamescanner.click/support
