Anyone have an opinion about these apps for coin photos? I'm looking for a good to post some coins for sale.
Markets (governments) can remain irrational longer than an investor can remain solvent.

I’m not sure exactly what you are asking. If you want an easy way to take photos of coins you want to sell, try using your phone camera with the coin in a nice bright light. The most important thing is to take in-focus photos of both sides of the coin.
If you are asking how to sell coins, you can try the Buy, Sell, Trade section of this forum. Or eBay.
CoinSnap is far far better at identification than at valuation - assume the valuation represents a random # between the worst cull for sale and the best of the best of the best, i.e. a useless number.

"coin snap" is not a proper business/product name like "CoinSnap".
It would have been clearer had the name been written properly. 🤓
Steve, thank you. I agree. Hoping an app can take some of the fumble out of my attempts with phone camera.
BStrauss, I like what I've seen of the CoinSnap ID process (their "intro video") as I introduce my daughter to assessing coins. Thank you. Most of what I have are common dates from circulation of very limited collector value (wheats and Jeffs). I rely on the PCGS site for current valuation and my best guess at the unslabbed value.
How is an app going to prevent you from needing to take good pictures?
I'm not sure it will, that's part of why I was asking about apps. Their video looks like it makes some lighting (color? focus?) adjustments. Maybe not.
Just wait until the artificial stupid upscales the image because they've actually reduced the size of the image sensor. That's right hallucinogenic details in your pictures.
