Frustrierend wenn man dafür Geld bezahlt. ### 2/5 — Bro *2026-07-15, version 8.0.14* It worked at first, but then wouldn’t show what cards looked liked ### 4/5 — Really good but... *2026-06-30, version 8.0.13* This app is amazing but it usually doesn't scan holographic cards as the holographic card and will just choose the non holographic version ### 2/5 — Scanner not working *2026-06-16, version 8.0.13* The scanner doesn’t start my camera therefore not allowing the scanner to work :( ### 2/5 — Do not recommend *2026-04-02, version 8.0.13* It does not give you the real price on google your better off there. ### 3/5 — Update now please *2026-03-22, version 8.0.10* You need to update to include sets like Phantasmal Flames and Mega Evolution ### 4/5 — Weird bug *2026-03-22, version 8.0.10* Weird thing when the cards have no prices it puts them in Japanese pls fix this ### 3/5 — Prices are bugged *2026-03-21, version 8.0.10* This app has been good for a long time but in the last week it’s showing incorrect prices as prices would have dropped drastically but have not. ### 4/5 — Wish North America Prices Were Already Included From Day One *2026-03-10, version 8.0.9* Can you also add the North America prices also. Would love that and it would helpful a whole lot. Should add other places prices on it. If this app wants to do better, it should constantly have changes from the comment review section of what people suggested it need to be added or change or not change with certain things. ### 4/5 — Meilleur scan de carte *2026-01-18* Bonjour, je tenez à dire que c’est le meilleur scan de carte sur le quel je suis tombé, illimité, une pub de temps en temps si on ne veut pas payer. Et scan en littéralement 0.1 secondes. Une amélioration obligatoire est à prévoir et vite. Comme pour pokecardex, il faut pouvoir sélectionner notre pays (France par exemple) qui va nous donner les prix français des cartes et rediriger sur un lien directement filtrer FR de cardmarket. Comme le fait pokecardex et ceux pour chaque langue. Très facile et rapide à mettre en place et vous allez juste dégommer et prendre le lead de toutes les app de scan ! ### 4/5 — Solid *2026-01-15, version 8.0.6* I have been using this for years now. Helps me track my collection really well. Solid in my opinion. Though, i do have some recommendations. Firstly, though an english developed app (as far as I know), it would be nice to include sets from other languages. For example, I have a japanese Iron Valiant from terestal fest ex. And the closest set to match that in english is probably the scarlett/violet promos. I see the devs usually do a great job keeping up with the sets as they release. But not once have I found a set other than english. Maybe I just didn’t catch one yet. So what would be the point of including different languages if they have entirely different sets? I’ve noticed this with the YGO tcg app by dragon shield as well. It would be even better if this potentially collaborated with PSA or PriceCharting to get better, more accurate data for values. I know it can follow TCG stats. So it measures raw value. But how do we know it follows it accurately? Actually, after just testing it, the market value is accurate for some cards. But not not highs and lows. I figured I would at least provide some recommendations. I’m sure dragonshield will appreciate my feedback. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2025-12-31, version 8.0.6* I wish it kept track for me but that’s wishful thinking I guess ### 4/5 — Pretty good, but idk if it’s accurate *2025-12-24, version 8.0.6* It’s amazing, but I checked PriceCharting and some of my cards are cheaper on PriceCharting so idk if it’s accurate. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SIGN IN *2026-07-24, version 8.0.14* YOU HAVE A DAILY LIMIT AND YOU HAVE TO SIGN IN! IT DOESNT EVEN WORK! DO NOT DOWNLOAD! ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-04-12, version 8.0.13* After I signed up it didn’t let me scan my cards ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2026-04-04, version 8.0.13* I tried to cancel my subscription, but it didn’t work. I tried to, but then it just sent. Do you want to buy it again? Do not buy. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-04-01, version 8.0.12* Camera is really quick, but really in accurate ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-03-19, version 8.0.10* You literally can’t scan the cards!!!!!😡 ### 1/5 — Confusing *2026-03-08, version 8.0.9* Too confusing to add cards to deck ### 1/5 — Daily limit!?!?? *2025-12-13, version 8.0.6* You have to have an account for you to have unlimited scans. What?? I was having trouble making an account so I went without. But unless you have an account you have a “daily limit” for scanning cards?!?! That also seems suspicious. Why do you want us to have an account for the basically whole app. This is very strange to me. I’m perplexed by why you have a daily limit when you don’t have an account. It sounds like one of those subscription trials. Please change this!!!! ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-12-09, version 8.0.5* it just scans anything and gives a random answer like I scanned a colored rectangle and it thought it was a Pokémon card ### 1/5 — Downloaded and doesn’t work *2025-10-29, version 8.0.2* I’ve tried multiple times to download, create an account and sign in and it won’t work. I even created an account online and it still won’t work. Not sure why. ### 1/5 — Fine *2025-10-18, version 8.0.1* In the scanning aspect, this revolutionizes card values and probably makes the Pokémon market flow much better. On the other hand, I hate that you have so sign in. Please make it so you don’t have to sign in. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-08-03, version 8.0.15* This is an amazing app love how cheap it is for what it is and the quality is amazing. ### 5/5 — blep *2026-07-29, version 8.0.14* its amazing, and has anything a tgc scanner would need!!!! the only thing that happens is that sometime it reads the card as japanese, when its in english, but overall, this tgc scanner is great! ### 5/5 — I love the app I scan evevery day *2026-07-23, version 7.5.3* And a 100% free ### 5/5 — Great!!!! *2026-06-24, version 8.0.13* I within minutes scanned a mew ex worth $33 impressed thanks a lot developers now back to scanning my other cards! ### 5/5 — Helps *2026-06-12, version 8.0.13* I know what price my cards are every day but I wish that you didn’t have to pay for the monthly and yearly stats ### 5/5 — Currency change *2026-06-11, version 8.0.13* How do you change currency on the app? ### 5/5 — Thanks *2026-03-29, version 8.0.12* Dose it work on Chinese card? ### 5/5 — FREE SCANS THANK YOU!!

I would love a “picture” option to add items to collections that may not be in the data base :) IE Stamps/burgerking cards/ stickers etc ### 5/5 — It helped me a lot *2026-02-08, version 8.0.7* This app helps me scan cards and it helps me find out the price although I have a few cards that have a mystery price ### 5/5 — Best Pokémon scanner app *2025-09-11, version 7.12.7* Very very helpful, I can keep track of all my cards and they’re values, and you don’t need to pay money to use app, so tuff ✌️💯 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
