### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-08-16, version 2.1.1*

Excelente

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-16, version 2.1.1*

Easy and quick

### 1/5 — No aparecen mis cartas

*2026-08-13, version 2.1.1*

Tengo muchas cartas antiguas en japonés que no aparecen en la app y solo aparecen en inglés

### 5/5 — excelente app

*2026-08-12, version 2.1.1*

Muy padre la app, no creí que te diera toda la información necesaria para aprender más

### 3/5 — Scanner isn’t working for some of my Japanese cards

*2026-08-12, version 2.1.1*

The app is OK but the only thing that I dislike is that it’s not reading some of my Japanese cards for example my leaf on SAR from EV heroes it is not reading when I use the scanner and some of my English cards as well I do beg that the developers fix this because I’m paying 34 bucks yearly for this please fix this bug. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Good but...

*2026-08-09, version 2.1.1*

Firstly, I feel some of my cards are being under valued.
Second, the premium I much more stacked than the free version. I understand the free version has some cool features, but not nearly enough to be half as good as the premium. Third, japanese cards are so over valued. Japanese cards are meant to be worse than english, but one of my card's japanese counter parts is nearly EIGHT TIMES THE VALUE!!! This final note is a request. Please make a feature where you can check a card's condition. It will improve the app for me and many others  P.S. If you add the feature, please moahe it free and unlimited.

### 5/5 — Not sure how accurate this is

*2026-08-09, version 2.1.1*

First card I scanned the PSA 10 prices came up wrong

### 1/5 — Dont get only 1 use

*2026-08-08, version 2.1.1*

So it will only let you scan 1 card until it you tell you to pay to see more cards

### 5/5 — Wish it could read simplified Chinese

*2026-08-08, version 2.1.1*

I love this app!! My favorite TCG scanner but I wish it could read chinese cards :( if they develop this, it would make this app a 10/10 and reach way more people! I still recommend this app to everyone!

### 5/5 — Best

*2026-08-06, version 2.1.1*

It takes it easy add explains
