Dex - for TCG Collectors

Last time was about understanding your collection. This one is about getting cards into it faster, and making the binder feel like the real thing. Let’s go! • Sweep Them All at Once The scanner has a new mode. Sweep reads every card in frame in one shot: a binder page, a stack fanned out on the table, the pulls from a booster box, however many you can fit. One capture, and they are all in. For a single card, Snap is still the way to go. It remains our most accurate mode, and it got a lot better at telling variants apart, so the holo and the reverse land as the right one more often. Both Snap and Sweep now capture at the sensor’s full resolution, so small text and set symbols come through sharper than before. The rest of the scanner caught up too. Scans stay in place after you add or remove them, so you can see what already ran. Swipe a card away in the Overview to drop it from the batch, and Stream lets you choose which variant a scan is taken to be before it lands in your collection. • Turn the Page When the binder shows two pages side by side, on an iPad, an iPhone Duo, or an iPhone held sideways, the pages now turn like paper. Drag one and it bends, shades, and casts a shadow as it comes over, instead of sliding out of the way. A spine runs down the middle so every page shows which side it is bound on. The pages overview got a job: pick two pages and swap them. Page sizes now include 5-column layouts for the bigger binders, and the page count gained a 44-page option. • Made for the Big Screen Dex now makes the most of an open iPhone Duo and an iPad in landscape. The scanner splits at the fold, with the camera on one side and your results on the other. Card details spreads across both pages, with the art on one and everything else on the other. Expansions, folders, and the dashboard lay out in two columns when there is room, chip rows fade at the fold, and the iPhone finally works in landscape. • Badges, Rebuilt Around Progress The badges screen was redesigned from the ground up. Chips sort the list, every badge shows how close you are with a progress bar, and an Almost There card surfaces the ones within reach. Earning one is a moment now: the badge lifts into view with light, motion, and a haptic. Unlocks earned while you were signed out are held until you sign in or restore a backup, so the moment is never lost. We know there hasn’t been a new badge this year. We’ve been waiting for the other platforms to catch up so a badge earned on your phone counts everywhere, and we’re finally looking to add new ones later in November. • Folders From Anywhere A folder no longer has to start empty. Open an expansion or a Pokémon and create a Standard folder or a Binder right from it, pre-filled with every card. Starting from a Pokémon lets you pick the region. ... and a few more things! This update also comes with a handful of smaller wins and fixes: • Share your profile as a 9:16 image, ready for a story. • Search finds Gold Star, Prism Star, and Delta cards by name or by their glyph. • Pokédex slots have a menu, and removing one is behind a remove mode so it can’t happen by accident. • The New pill on fresh expansions lasts 5 days instead of 30. • Trade Finder sees your Standard folders and Binders, and honours their tracked variants. • Various design tweaks, performance boosts, and bug fixes across the app.
