## What is Cardstock?

With a built-in scanner, value lookup, automatic information detection, checklist tracking, card sorting, flippable cards, beautiful image sharing, infinitely nestable folders, powerful search, iCloud sync support, CSV export, and plentiful customization options, Cardstock is the best way to digitally catalog your sports cards.  

Features:

⋅ Scanner
	- The scanner uses the camera to convert your image into a high quality scan.

⋅ Value lookup
	- By using the value lookup, you will be able to see what similar cards have sold for on eBay.

⋅ Automatic information detection
	- Every time a card is scanned, Cardstock searches it and records any useful information found.

⋅ Checklist Tracking
	- Checklists allow you to utilize your collection to track your progress on completing sets.

        - Each time you open a checklist, Cardstock searches for any matching cards and uses them to automatically fill out or create items.

        - Checklist templates uploaded by our team or other users make it easy to add checklists.

⋅ Card Sorting
	- A powerful sort options menu allows you to sort your cards by any number of attributes.

        - Cardstock's ability to sort cards into attribute based groups provides you with new ways to view your collection.

⋅ Flippable cards
        - Cards in your collection can be tapped and flipped to allow viewing of either side.

⋅ Beautiful image sharing
        - Sharing a card creates a stunning image by combining both sides on top of a background chosen from colors generated to match.

⋅ Nestable folders
	- Folders allow cards to be organized in whatever way is best for you.

⋅ Powerful search
        - The search tab allows you to search by any attribute found on a card, checklist, or template.

⋅ iCloud Sync Support
        - Your collection is automatically kept in sync across devices via iCloud.

⋅ CSV export
        - Cards can be exported to a CSV file to give you full control of your data.

⋅ Customization
        - The vast number of settings provided enables you to find what works best for you.

I am an independent app developer and I made this app because I couldn’t find a good app on the App Store to catalog my baseball collection. I have worked really hard to provide an app that is both powerful and aesthetically pleasing. The scanner and automatic information detection make Cardstock the easiest way to digitize your collection, the value lookup is the quickest and most accurate way to estimate the true value of your cards, and the ability to share beautiful images of your cards is unrivaled. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, don’t hesitate to email me at kyle.fowler@openbraceapps.com.

### 1/5 — Subscription.

*2026-08-18, version 4.3.5*

I had signed up for the free 3 day trial which prompted the app to give me the option to let me know 48 hours or 28 hours in advance to when the 3 day trial would end. I selected to let me know 24 hours in advance to which I never received the notification and was charged 100 dollars and didn’t even get to pick what subscription I wanted after the 3 day trial. The app not only chose which subscription it gave me it billed me 100 dollars. Would not recommend.

### 1/5 — money???

*2026-08-13, version 4.3.5*

why would you have to pay to scan cards??? uninstalled.

### 1/5 — Yea

*2026-08-12, version 4.3.5*

It puts the wrong card every time

### 5/5 — Solid

*2026-08-04, version 4.3.2*

This is my second year of an annual unlimited subscription at the lowest rate.  I’ve got 1200+ cards in my collection on this app and have used it to create collections of up to 5,000 baseball cards without issue. Its scanning capabilities are top notch and it provides a lot of sales data that other apps miss. One thing that is unique to Card Stock vs the several other very reputable apps that I also use daily is that the developers of this application seem to genuinely strive to provide the best product that they can provide without being pretentious about doing so. 
In 2026 that should be commended.

### 1/5 — Usually trash

*2026-07-28, version 4.3.1*

Most of the time the app doesn’t work.  It’s a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2026-07-27, version 4.3.1*

Thing thing doesn’t work what a waste of $20

### 2/5 — Issues with getting a card value

*2026-07-26, version 4.3.1*

The app does a good job of identifying the card, but it is 0 for 20 on coming up with a value. It’s says no recent sales on EBAY and search there are plenty of sales. Tried it with some real common cards that are popular. Not a good pricing tool

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-07-26, version 4.3.1*

Awful functionality, scan feature is inaccurate, database lacking.

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2026-07-26, version 4.3.1*

Never scans the cards correctly. Absolute waste of time and money

### 1/5 — Cardstock doesn’t work!

*2026-07-25, version 4.3.1*

I can’t get any comps for any of my cards not even the most basic ones. Now I am locked in for a year paying for something that doesn’t even work what a waste of money.
