Message for all Topps Digital Fans! By ToppsCW on 2017-02-15 17:00:00 To our Topps Digital fans,



Yesterday we required that all Topps users update their apps in order to continue collecting. We thought we’d take a moment to shed some light on this update, and share with you what we’re improving.



The first Topps digital trading card app was launched in 2012 - nearly five years ago! At the time, we had no idea how people would respond to digital trading cards. Your passion and enthusiasm for collecting and trading exceeded our wildest expectations.



As our spirited fan base grows, there are many changes we must make to ensure the user experience is a fun and positive one for every fan. Here are a few of the ways our apps are evolving to accommodate a thriving user base with expanding collections:



Scalability: Gone are the days of apps constantly crashing, especially while browsing your collection and proposing trades. Storing the cards on your server, rather than device, provide increased stability and improved performance – especially across large collections! While our efforts to improve this are still a work in progress, we want to assure you that we are making changes so you can enjoy and share your collection.



Coin farming: While many of our fans are honest and true to their collections and the apps, there are some fans who “cheat” their way to additional coins. Our newest update introduces countermeasures to prevent coin farming, and we will continue to improve our efforts to ensure that our apps are fair and fun for every fan.



Updating Devices: From an iPhone to an Android, iPad to a tablet – there are various ways in which users enjoy viewing and growing their collections. In an effort to ensure the highest quality and functionality of our apps, our minimum hardware and software requirements have changed:



⁃Android users must be on Android 4.3 or higher. We recommend Android 6.0 and up.

⁃iOS users must be on iOS 8 or higher and should be running on at least an iPhone 5 or iPad 4th gen. We recommend a device no more than 3 years old running iOS9 or iOS10.



Thanks to your feedback, we are addressing various issues that will continue to improve your experience. From card locks to award checklists, we are working quickly to address your feedback. Many of the issues will be improved in the next update, so stay tuned!



Five years ago, we couldn’t imagine the number of people who would want to carry their card collections in their pocket, having the ability to trade at any time, from anywhere, around the globe! We are incredibly excited to continue improving the apps, so that you can continue growing your collections.



Thank you for being a part of the digital card collecting movement. We greatly appreciate your passion and support. Be on the lookout for continued updates, and happy collecting!
