### 5/5 — Read

*2026-08-25, version 24.1.5*

The best ever

### 5/5 — Excelente app

*2026-08-23*

Muito bom app para organizar as cartas e fazer listas de que ainda quer…

### 5/5 — Dex

*2026-08-22, version 24.1.5*

It is good for card shopping

### 5/5 — Card Condition

*2026-08-21*

I wish you could add the condition of your card to get different pricing. Other than that, works great

### 5/5 — Noob

*2026-08-21, version 24.1.5*

Total justification

### 2/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-08-13, version 24.1.1*

Trying to log in via email. After inputting my email and password, the continue button is greyed out. I can’t even attempt to log in. Please fix, i like the desktop version of the app. It would be nice to be able to use the iOS version.

### 3/5 — useful helpful, a tad aggravating for free users

*2026-08-13, version 24.1.1*

good app, great folder and search systems, the recently added paywalls to folder count and quantity of friends is frustrating.

### 5/5 — This is a fantastic app for the most part

*2026-08-09, version 24.1.0*

I love this app, and only have a few problems. The first being the lack of languages. I have many cards that I have to improvise adding in because the proper language is not an option, would you maybe consider adding more languages please? Ranging from German to Korean? Also old and new sets in the languages please. And as for the binder feature that was added recently, I adore it. Not a problem, more so a request: can you add a drag and drop feature in the “My Collection” section please?

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-08-09, version 24.1.0*

Amazing app, great way to see variants, track pokedex and set collections and see all cards in different languages

### 2/5 — Crashes on open

*2026-08-09, version 24.1.0*

Paid the year sub. Scanned a few cards. Tried to open it again and immediately crashes on open. I got the splash screen and then nothing.. reset phone and tried again, but still not working.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 25.0.1 — 2026-08-28

The one we promised is finally here.

• Your Binder, Your Rules
A few updates ago we promised a Binder folder type you build yourself. It’s here. Create a Binder folder and place each card in exactly the pocket you want: pick the page size, leave pockets empty on purpose, and arrange every spread the way it sits in your real binder.

• Card Details, Remastered
Card details got a serious glow-up, with one goal in mind: making each section a bit more compact to clear the way for some major features coming soon. Market prices now scroll horizontally as cards, so comparing marketplaces is a swipe instead of a scroll. The friends section follows the same style, showing who owns the card in a scrollable row. Everything important now fits in the first screenful, the background art got a subtle new blur treatment, and swiping between cards now lands on the exact variant of the row you tapped.

... and a few more things!
• Smart folders, the Folders tab and the Dashboard are now dramatically faster with large collections.
• The CSV export is customizable before sharing, and gained card notes, number and illustrator columns, with rows sorted by card number.
• Smart folder rules for Card Type and Trainer Type now support picking multiple values.
• Multi-select folder actions now respect the exact variant you picked.
• The stack/split toggle is back on the trade screens.
• Card names now update properly when you change your device language.
• Various design tweaks, performance boosts, and bug fixes across the app.

### 24.1.5 — 2026-08-18

This update starts with a thank you, and ends with a few things we’ve been quietly building. Let’s get into it.

• Every Marketplace, Free
Consider this one a thank you. Marketplaces are no longer a Dex+ feature, for anyone. Your support is what carried Dex past the point of needing a paywall on something as basic as a price, and Dex+ has more than enough of its own to offer without it. It only felt right to give this one back. So from today, every collector can choose where their prices come from, browse the full price listings, and set their Cardmarket preferences, no subscription needed. Every market, every price listing, for everyone.

• Say Hello to CardTrader
There’s a new marketplace in Dex: CardTrader. It started in Italy and now covers sellers and stores around the world, and it prices English, Japanese and Chinese cards, so you’ll see it wherever prices appear in the app. Friendly reminder that you pick your own primary marketplaces, one for each region, over in Preferences. They lead on card details, value your collection, and set the order when you sort by price.

• Binders, Everywhere
When we introduced Binder mode last update, we said we’d bring it to more places. It’s now on every card screen: My Collection, smart folders, standard folders, Pokédex folders, and the folders on other people’s profiles, alongside the expansions and Pokédex pages it already covered. Each binder keeps its own page size and layout, so a 9-pocket spread for one folder and a 4-pocket for another is entirely fine. The one we promised last time is still on its way too: a Binder folder type you build yourself, placing each card in exactly the pocket you want.

• One Phone, Every Account
If you keep more than one Dex account, moving between them used to mean signing out and waiting for everything to sync back down. Now you can store up to five on the same phone and switch from Settings in a couple of taps, each with its own collection, folders and stats. Anything you collected offline is uploaded before the switch, so nothing gets left behind.

• Spotted a Wrong Price?
Prices come from listings we match to each card, variant and marketplace, and every so often we match the wrong one. There’s now a “Incorrect or missing price? Let us know” line right under the prices on any card, opening a short form already filled in with the card, the variant you’re looking at, and your marketplace. Paste the correct listing link and we’ll take it from there.

... and a few more things!
This update also comes with a handful of smaller wins and fixes:
• Preferences are now grouped into sections, so related settings sit together instead of being scattered by control type.
• Settings has a new footer with all our social accounts, plus quick access to About and System Status, with a live indicator when something’s up.
• Multi-select now works per variant and per slot, so batch actions act on exactly the row you picked.
• Standard folders with variant tracking now show up properly when you’re browsing someone else’s profile.
• Card data and prices moved to a new on-device database, so launches, search and large collections are all noticeably quicker.
• Various design tweaks, performance boosts, and bug fixes across the app.
