My Collection: Comic Scanner 12+

Good not great

I just scanned all my Frank Miller Daredevil issues, but it only was able to price about a quarter of them since most are newsstand releases. In the 90s, that was a big deal, but I don’t see that as much anymore. Should be able to get prices for these regardless. Also, some of the pricing is inaccurate. It priced my Green Lantern #1, (1960) at $.48. That’s completely inaccurate; not even close. That’s a $1000 comic book at worse. Also, it would help if it would allow multiple options when there are multiple versions of a book. My TMNT #1, third printing, still was coming up as a first printing since the covers are virtually identical. This app has a lot of great potential, but needs some work. Since it’s a beta version, I am still rating it 3 stars. Great job so far but still a little frustrating. Keep up the good work.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feedback! The issue you described with regard to Newsletter variants should now be resolved - and you should see prices for these books. We're also working to allow multiple options when there are multiple version of a book - which should be released later this year. If you have any additional feedback, problems, or want to checkout our Product Roadmap, feel free to stop by our Discord: https://discord.gg/mEcqYr8Tet

Great app for beginners! Needs to update though

The way the app works is great! The scanning feature is by far the easiest way for beginners to understand more about whatever comic they are looking at. A few things needs updates though. The app takes FOREVER to get up and going and I typically have to restart the app several times and wait minutes before it’s working. Most newsstand editions do not have any pricing so you’ll have to do your own research on those. The biggest issue to me is the lagging start up. If this could be fixed it would be the best app on the market for beginners collectors!

Very Nice, When It Works

The app is very good at recognizing most books. Out of about two hundred, it got most of them correct. I would say it works about 90% of the time. It gets confused on similar looking covers, like Marvel Hip Hop variants.

Quite a few books don’t have values, I guess because they haven’t sold recently on the platform. Others have some outdated prices, probably for the same reason. Pretty accurate pricing, though, for the most part.

I suggest adding a feature where we can manually type in a title and select a book to add manually for instances that the pictures don’t get recognized. Other than that, this app is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Oh, and occasionally I have to restart the app a handful of times to get it to start up correctly.
