Update: 05/04/2024 Loads of new coins released in recent months but app never up to date, despite my emails with new coin info, etc. Some info is wrong that needs changing. Lots of territory coins are missing much to my disappointment. This is the BEST UK COIN APP out there. Could do with a few tweaks that I have previously mentioned. 9/10

Incredibly helpful. Before this I was using a spreadsheet, so this is a brilliant improvement. I especially like how it I clicked information on each coin so you can learn more about it. I also hope to use it to find gaps and grow my collection. The design is a bit dated, I think it could do with a refresh. It would be brilliant if I can sort the "Quick List" so I can see my whole collection in one place.

Love the app, and I'd love to buy live prices but I absolutely hate subscriptions as I lose track of them. I don't have Netflix because of this reason 😂 I'd much rather pay £10 upfront for a lifetime subscription. Would you consider doing something like this? Great work on the app again, that has to be acknowledged.

Quick and easy to use. Well laid out and helpful for adding to your collections to make sure none are missed out with different year dates of coin releases or repeated reverse and obverse designs. Very informative as to a coins origin and their meanings. A digital diary log at A+ level and quality. Numismatic database I enjoy very much.

Absolutely brilliant... the end! What a superb app, that allows you to keep an eye on your collection and highlights what you're missing. Even has the cross over years when the queen's portrait changes, to stating all the years those coins were released in circulation, to only being available in coin sets. It really is amazing and a doddle to use! It would be perfect if the app went further back to currencies before Queen Elizabeth II, maybe in future releases? But it's brilliant love it 🙂

Too basic. The filter menu in settings should allow to choose additionally between domination value rather than territories etc. I want to see only 50p from uk or all 50p. It's not possible at the moment. Very basic design of the app would expect much more in 22 eg scanning and recognition. Live prices subscription is a joke. Would pay for premium app for some more features rather than just app. No need for subscription. Good idea for app but fails to deliver in many ways.

Poor performance and unable to subscribe. So, I have used this app on numerous occasions and found it 'Glitchy'. That is, when scrolling or selecting a coin there is a noticeable delay in changing the view. I thought today I would try out the subscription but that has become a real pain. It comes up with a window for live chart subscription and shows my email address. It then says a new biometric was added and asks for a password! Password for who or what? I tried them all!

This app is probably one of the better ones out there. I don't like that it's moved to a subscription service for features that used to be free, but most apps seem guilty of that now. Please may you make a separate section for the commemorative coins that aren't in circulation or have to be bought?

Dropped 2 star as the app does not have an option to search by keywords . We can only order by date, mintage, collected and value (which need the paid for version, but not upset kn that point). The ability to search the cpon denomination subsection by keywords like Kew, dna, suffragettes etc. Would make the free app 5 star!
