Great minus a few things

Out of all of the apps I’ve used, the scanner is the most accurate with this app, and as is the case with all scanners if it has a glare or is holofoil, it won’t pick up half the time, but that’s normal due to camera limitations. My biggest gripe is that it is missing a lot of promo cards from more than six months ago. The Terapagos EX ultra-premium collection came out in November, and in May the promo cards are still missing from the database; even though it has been updated since then. Related, the new packs take a while after release to be added to the list. Other issue is that the app randomly crashes when using the camera to scan, it’s inconsistent; sometimes after a few scans, sometimes after dozens, so I haven’t been able to identify a reason for it. This has been over several updates.

Suggestion: another annoyance is that there’s no way to separate the non-foil cards from the foil cards so that you can have them listed separately, it just makes you put them all under the same card and doesn’t let you specify how many are foil and how many are not. Then randomly some cards that are available as reverse hollofoil don’t even have the option.

Mildly functional

The app is a nice touch for collectors, unfortunately the detection is very bad. English cards are hit or miss, any foreign cards are no supported well if at all, and there is no distinction between normal, holo, and reverse for cards.

App is garbage

I placed an order on the in-app store. They didn’t honor it. Just a refund with no explanation. The Shiny App & Collectr App are way better.

it’s good, but something doesn’t 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓴

OK, so I have a lot of gold cards and the scanner doesn’t even pick up any of the gold Pokémon cards so I have to put those to the side and technically 𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓰𝓮𝓽 about it because it barely picks up any of my cards I checked my cards a bunch of times nothing was wrong with them so then I just finally gave up and if it doesn’t pick up a card, I just throw that card to the side too

GREAT APP SO FAR

I love the modern UI. It runs very smoothly. I hope they continue to invest in it and bring in graded cards, different holos and promotional cards, etc…

And the shop would be so cool if they continued adding more stock and things to it too!
