Issues and Variants Not Being Recognized
I'm posting to see if anyone else is experiencing issues with the database or recent updates, or if I might be doing something wrong with my scans.
It seems like several of my issues are not being recognized when I scan them, which suggests they might not be updated in the system.
For example, when I try to scan:
• DC KO #1
• Batman/Deadpool #1
...they are not being recognized.
I've also run into the same problem with a few variants of Absolute Batman and Absolute Superman editions.
I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong on my end, so I'd appreciate any advice, troubleshooting tips, or confirmation if these issues are known to be missing from the database.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Issue with Variant and Facsimile covers not being recognized. Have to add them manually. Overall enjoy the app.

PinnedHi there,
We’re currently aware of an issue with some newer variant and facsimile covers not being recognized automatically, and our team is actively working on a fix.
If you have any specific examples that weren’t recognized correctly, feel free to share them. It would really help us in improving the system.
Thanks again for your feedback!

Won't scan comics
I scan comics and the app doesn't recognize them. I even use stock images and it doesn't recognize them. Ive been waiting for them to update for a year and they still didn't update the comics.

Hi Robby, if possible, may we have a list of titles that weren’t recognized by the scanner?

Focus on new variants
Although I am frustrated with the amount of comics that does not detect, more so I'm frustrated by the fact that it's not offer the variants of a lot of the books. So it does make it hard to keep my collection intact.
