## What is Cards2?

Cards2 is an app for photographing the cards scattered around your life with your iPhone's camera and keeping them all in one place. Loyalty cards, membership cards, clinic cards, annual passes — even the cards overflowing from your wallet fit right here, with just a photo.

But it isn't only about tucking them away.
Line up your favorite cards, and the ones that matter, on backgrounds with the texture of leather or fabric — flip through them, and view them large. Take your time with the little details you never noticed inside your wallet.

In Japan, the series has sold over 130,000 paid copies (Cards and Cards2 combined). Come see for yourself why it has been the card organizing tool of choice for so long.

■ What you can do
・Import cards from the camera or your photo library
・Perspective (skew) correction, cropping, and aspect adjustment
・Input suggestions for names, expiration dates, and more from your images (processed on-device)
・Organize with tags and collections, and switch between multiple views
・Customize the background texture (skins) to your taste
・Quickly show a saved barcode or QR code
・Add or update compatible cards in Apple Wallet
・Customize each Wallet pass's color, logo, and displayed fields
・View your cards quickly from a home screen widget
・Expiration date notifications
・Protection with a passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID
・Automatic iCloud backup (keeps the last 3 generations)

■ For your peace of mind
The app is protected by a passcode and all images are stored encrypted. Even so, please be careful when handling sensitive information such as credit card numbers, and use the app at your own responsibility.

■ Apple Wallet
Compatible cards with a saved barcode or QR code can be added to Apple Wallet as a Cards2 pass. Customize the pass color, logo, and displayed fields, then add, update, show, or remove it from Cards2.

When you create or update a pass, the minimum data and pass images needed for signing are sent over an encrypted connection to the Cards2 signing service. Card content is not retained after the pass is generated.

■ Free and Pro
The free version lets you save up to 5 cards and use 1 Apple Wallet pass.
Pro unlocks unlimited cards, up to 10 Apple Wallet passes, applying input suggestions from images, automatic backup, and more. Your card data is never deleted, even if you don't buy Pro.

■ If you purchased the previous paid version
If you have already purchased Cards2, lifetime Pro is applied automatically at no extra cost. There is no need to repurchase or subscribe.

Note: Cards2 passes are not official passes issued by the original card provider. They do not replace Apple Pay, NFC/contactless cards, magnetic stripes, or the physical card. Compatibility depends on the barcode format and the merchant's scanner. When the original card is required, please carry the original with you.

This app has continued since the 2010 original, together with its users' voices — and we look forward to being with you going forward.

■ Subscriptions and purchases
Pro Monthly (auto-renewable, 1 month) and Pro Yearly (auto-renewable, 1 year). Pro is also available as a one-time purchase. Prices are shown on this page and in the app. A subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

### 5/5 — かれこれ15年? ありがとう😊

*2026-09-03*

とてもシンプルで長年愛用してます。
カード、免許証、通帳、保険証、マイナンバーカード、診察券、、、
とにかくなんでもこれに入れとけば持ち歩かなくていい！

**Developer response:** うれしいご報告をありがとうございます。使いにくかったところが解消したとうかがえて安心しました。 あれから作りを大きく入れ替えておりますので、久しぶりに開いていただくと、だいぶ様子が 変わっているかと思います。

### 5/5 — シンプルな神アプリ

*2026-08-25*

こんなに早く改善アプデして貰えるなんて…メモの全量表示とコピーが出来るようになって小さな手間から解放されました、本当にありがとうございます！
コレからもよろしくお願いします。
（以上2026.08.25追記）

カード類1からずっとお世話になっています。
シンプルでわかりやすく、必要十分な機能、なによりもう15年以上になるんじゃないかと言うロングセラーぶりと、今でもアプデを続けてくれていると言う安心感。
本当にずっとありがとう。
コレからもぜひよろしくお願いします。

個人的に要望があるとすれば1点（2点？）だけ…
各カードの情報（カード画面右上のiをタップしてポップする小窓）でメモの部分が、文字数が多いと内容が全部表示されず、全てを見たい場合は編集画面を開かないといけないのが本当に少しの手間ですが不便です…
それから同じカード情報の内容のコピーもやはり一度編集画面を開かなくては出来ないので少し不便です。

**Developer response:** カード類1の頃から長くご愛用いただき、温かいお言葉まで頂戴し本当にありがとうございます。カード情報のメモ表示や、コピーのしやすさについてのご要望、大変参考になりました。メモが長い場合の表示と、内容のコピーについては、今後のアップデートで改善したいと考えております。これからもカード類2をよろしくお願いいたします。

### 4/5 — 久しぶりのバージョンアップ

*2026-08-08*

久しぶりのバージョンアップに期待して現在使用中です。昔からお世話になっているので今後も継続的な改善を期待しています

**Developer response:** 長らくご利用いただき、また今回のアップデートにも期待をお寄せいただきありがとうございます。「カード類2」を今後もご愛用いただけますと嬉しいです。

### 1/5 — バグ多い

*2021-10-27*

以前のカード類からの乗換えですが、操作性が悪くなったのと、パスコード設定で落ちる、タグが付けられない、といったバグあり。 新たにこの手のアプリを入れようと思っている方にはオススメできません。使わざるを得ないので私は使いますが改善を希望。
2021/10 アプデお願いします、新規登録できず

**Developer response:** 不具合がある場合、
タグの付け方が不明な場合、サポートさせていただきますので
アプリ内の設定からお問い合わせください。

### 2/5 — スタート画面が不満

*2021-10-26*

ほぼクレカしか使わないのに、スタート時は全部のカードが見えてしまう。グループ選択できるのだから、スタート画面でも選択させてほしい。

**Developer response:** ご要望をお寄せいただきながら、お返事が遅くなり申し訳ございません。現在はコレクションでカードを まとめて、一覧を切り替えられるようになっております。起動時に開く一覧を選べるようにという点は、 ご要望として承っております。

### 1/5 — iOS15

*2021-09-28*

iOS15にしたところ開かなくなりました。なんとかならないでしょうか。

**Developer response:** 長い間アプリの更新が止まっており、いただいたご報告にお返事できていませんでした。申し訳ございません。 カード類1は公開・サポートとも終了しておりますが、現在のiOSでも起動することは確認しております。 移行は、端末の「設定」からカード類2の通知をオンにすると開始できます。移行中はカード類1へ 切り替わり、準備ができると通知でお知らせしますので、それを合図にお戻りください。

### 1/5 — とにかく時間がかかる

*2021-09-26*

有料なのに、非常に出来の悪いアプリ
全てが手動設定、入力しないといけない
写真撮影、クレジットカードの大きさに切り取り作業
全てのデーターを手入力、写真撮影してたらOCRぐらいしてから修正ならまだ、分かる
とにかく、疲れるあぷりw

**Developer response:** ご要望をいただいてから、ずいぶん間が空いてしまいました。申し訳ございません。その後、撮影した 写真から名前や有効期限を読み取って、候補として入力する機能を加えております。手作業ばかりという ご指摘の部分は、少しずつ減らしております。

### 3/5 — 画質

*2021-08-31*

解像度を下げているのが残念です。

### 1/5 — 新規登録

*2021-07-11*

新規登録できない

**Developer response:** ご報告をいただいたのに、お返事しないままになっておりました。申し訳ございません。撮影から登録までの流れは、その後に組み直しております。まだうまくいかない場合は、アプリ内の「設定」→「フィードバック」からご連絡ください。

### 3/5 — トレカの管理に使ってます

*2021-07-11*

何を持ってて持ってないかが分かって助かります。
フォルダ機能や五十音順のソートがあればなお良しなのですが……。ただ、クレジットカード等の管理が元々の目的らしいので、無粋かな？
