## What is Cardiyo?

Scan a card. Know its worth.

Cardiyo is an unofficial Pokémon TCG collection manager. It identifies the exact print in your hand, then prices that print — not a lookalike.

Set, number, variant, language. Nearly 99,000 individual prints across 530+ sets, from Base Set to the newest release.

THE SCANNER

• Point the camera. Auto-capture fires when the card is steady.
• Rapid mode: keep shooting a stack. Cards are identified in the background, with a review queue at the end.
• When two prints look alike, Cardiyo shows the runners-up and asks you to check the set symbol and collector number.
• It reads the card's own language. A German card is filed as a German card, with German art.
• It identifies sealed products, not only singles.
• Card not in hand? Upload a photo, search by name, number or set, or use the guided picker.

PRICES — WHERE CARDIYO IS DIFFERENT

No price is better than a wrong price.

If Cardiyo has no price for your exact print, the tile stays empty. Nothing borrowed from another language. Nothing interpolated. Nothing guessed.

A German print is priced from the German market through Cardmarket. Not an English price with a euro sign in front of it.

• Four price panels per card: TCGplayer (US), Cardmarket (EU), eBay US, eBay DE.
• Price history per PRINT. English holo, German reverse and Japanese normal each carry their own line.
• 26 million price points across 26,000+ cards — a full year of daily history.
• Graded prices: 417,000+ across 16,000+ cards, by grade and by grading house. PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, ACE, TAG.
• Population reports, including population over time.
• 67,000 recorded eBay sales across 4,390 cards. Sold prices, not asking prices — a live listing is never called a sale.
• Trending today: what moved.
• Values in USD, EUR, GBP or CAD. Refreshed daily.

YOUR COLLECTION

• Multiple collections. Cards, sealed products and coins on their own shelves.
• Quantity, condition from Mint to Poor, variant, grading slab, purchase price, mark as sold with a sale price.
• Bulk select, edit, move, delete, duplicate. Drag to reorder, or sort by price, performance or name.
• Stats: total value, profit and loss vs what you paid, top movers, most valuable, value by language and rarity, top sets, value history.
• Set completion with owned and missing filters, plus set value coverage.
• 8,000+ sealed products. 7,000+ of them carry a price.

POKÉMON CENTER RESTOCK ALERTS

### 1/5 — Gut gemachte App Optisch

*2026-08-29*

Optisch sehr schön gemacht. Aber leider lässt sich keine Karte einscannen. Heißt jedesmal Netzwerkfehler. Schade

**Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für dein Feedback. Wir haben uns Zeit genommen und nun die Version 2 der App veröffentlicht. Bitte lade die neueste Version herunter – ich bin mir absolut sicher, dass dir diese deutlich ausgefeiltere und superschnelle Version der App viel besser gefallen wird. Du kannst gerne deine Bewertung aktualisieren und die App weiterempfehlen, wenn sie dich begeistert.

### 5/5 — Endlich der Trading-Card-Scanner, auf den ich gewartet habe

*2026-08-26*

Für mich aktuell einer der stärksten Trading-Card-Scanner überhaupt – und gerade für Pokémon-Sammler ein echtes Highlight. Karte scannen, den exakten Druck erkennen und direkt passende Marktpreise sehen: schnell, übersichtlich und endlich auch mit echtem Fokus auf deutsche Karten.

Besonders genial finde ich die Pokémon-Center-Alarme: Cardiyo überwacht Restocks und neue Drops und kann per Push-Benachrichtigung Alarm geben. Genau so eine Funktion habe ich bisher vermisst – gerade wenn begehrte Releases innerhalb kürzester Zeit ausverkauft sind.

Dazu kommen Preisverläufe, Graded-Preise, verschiedene Preisquellen und eine vernünftige Sammlungsverwaltung. Für mich ist Cardiyo nicht einfach nur ein Scanner, sondern ein richtig starkes Werkzeug für Sammler.

Klare 5 Sterne – unbedingt ausprobieren!

**Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für dein Feedback. Wir wissen das sehr zu schätzen! Genau das hat uns dazu motiviert, die App mit jedem Update noch besser zu machen. Wir haben kürzlich die Version 2 der App veröffentlicht. Falls du sie noch nicht ausprobiert hast, probier sie doch mal aus – und glaub mir, sie wird dich total umhauen. Das ist eine echte Revolution!
