Good… And bad

So this app is a really good place to go to look for a specific card, but it’s not very good for scanning cards, however. Sometimes it will scan the right card, but most of the time it just thinks that I scanned the darker cards, like shadow circle, or sea of nothingness. I don’t know why it does this! It does this for really colorful cards as well! I don’t know if other people have the same issue, but I really hope you could fix this problem because I genuinely think that this could be a very, very useful app! Anyway thank you for making an app that is useful for other people to use!

I would give it 5 stars but…

I was originally going to give it 4 stars but I can’t scan all of my cards, the app only has expansions all back to X and Y but only as far back as 2014. I’ve been collecting card’s since I was a kid so I have cards from 2009 and even 2004. The scanning function needs work too. If you don’t scan the card on the right surface, in the right light it might show up as a different card and full art cards are harder to scan especially if they’re V pokemon (I have to manually add my V pokemon). At this point I’ll need to buy shadow circle so next time it shows up I can say I have it stop pushing the x button. All in all it’s still a good app, it just needs work.

It’s perfect, but it needs more

I found this app very good, but I think that they should have more you should have from probably base set because this would allow collectors to use it if you have base set and base set two and whatever then a lot more people can enjoy it but I think it is good cause then you don’t have to scramble around every single set just to find your card. You can just use the search tool or look at the bottom of the Pokémon card to find your set, so I like it, thank you but please add more.

A few suggestions…

1) Add the information that you would find in the booklet from the Elite Trainer Boxes. Meaning which cards have which, standard/holo/rare/ultra rare, etc. so we can check box the individual cards that we have. Meaning if we still need the holo of the card we can leave that box unchecked.

2) Make the check boxes a little bigger and spaced out. How many times when trying to check the box that I’ve obtained that card and opened the card in full view. It’s annoying. Space out the rows more and make the check box larger. Again, add more check boxes underneath the card to be able to check non-holo and holo.

3) Get rid of the scanning card feature. Enough reviews on here complain about how it doesn’t work and it’s broken. It doesn’t work for me either. Taking it away would be an improvement. This app could be the same exact thing as the books that come with the ETBs just in a digital version. Removing this feature would increase reviews. If something is not 100% working, don’t add it.

These two things need fixed asap. Thanks in advance.

Wait until the scanning gets improved

The app itself doesn’t let me check my deck from the cards I scanned and it consistently fails to scan. Like 7/10 it’ll either not take the scan or show one of two completely different cards from what I scanned such as Dark Circle or one other.

The app has managed to scan a few cards and work correctly which I’m surprised that even happened. And every card set to look at is a download required. It’s annoying because this app has so much potential. I looked at every suggestion to see how to correctly scan my cards that the app says, did all of it, still got the exact same issues.

Good but needs more.

This app is good for what it has, sometimes a little finicky but I've found if you're doing your regular cards with a yellow border if you have a straight black background it works almost always. And then for your specialty cards without a yellow border, unless the card is either white, yellow, it silver color, a solid white works the best. To be honest my only complaint is that since I've been collecting these since I was a kid, 80% of my cards aren't readable. From what I found it's cards made in 2014-Present. And seeing how most my cards are from Black and White as well as from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, they don't work. My only hope is that the exapand all the what to when they started selling them in 1995 so I can accurately know the cards I have instead of flipping through my card binder. Another nice feature which could be cool is if they allowed you to mark how many of that card you have, just for the convenience factor.

Not good.

When I started collecting, I mainly had cards from before sun and moon but the app doesn’t have an option to add those sets. I now have more cards from the newer sets but if I want to log my collection somewhere I’d rather just use a google doc because the scanning feature is annoying not to mention that it takes forever to log a few cards so any collector with more than 10 cards probably won’t have much fun putting their collection in the system. If you want my honest opinion, I dislike it. I don’t care if some people find it useful but I’m not gonna reinstall it because I don’t wanna waste my time putting the hundreds of cards that are newer into the system while just leaving my old cards lying around.

I am a little disappointed.

This app is good if you want to scan cards and view your collection as a whole.
This app however is very limited to the cards that it can scan. I have a bunch of team plasma and a Rayquaza C lv X that I would like to scan, but I can’t because this app is limited to X and Y series and everything that came afterwards. Nothing that came before X and Y like black and white or delta species or really any of the OG’s and that frustrates me because of the cards that I wish I could scan.
If the developers are reading this please update this app so we can add the older cards to our digital collection. Thank you and have a good one.

The app seems to automatically close at some certain points when scanning

I got the CardDex app to document my Pokémon card collection. But there are some cards that won’t seem to go through and I have to enter them manually and also sometimes when I’m scanning the app just automatically closes. I don’t know if it has something to do with my phone or the app itself but please try to fix those issues thanks

Great app

Great app but I would like if it included the older expansions.
Also it would be nice if it included reverse holos but I know scanning it like that would be hard so maybe when it shows is this your card you can have an option to make it a reversed holo. And if any one if having trouble scanning there cards who is reading the make sure that the card is not in a sleeve, the card is clean, and if scanning a V or Vmax make it so there not any light shining on the card directly

Great app but should add battling

This is a great app and I love it. A couple of things should be added though. One, a battle feature I use this app on iPod Touch and it is really boring just looking at cards so can you add battling CPUs so we don’t have to download TCGO on iPads and computers. The battling thing if your add should start off with CPUs then you can add online battles if you want.

One last thing is that the scan only worked once for me, That was when is was scanning my Rainbow rare Charizard Vstar. I’m in perfect lighting condition too! Please fix that.
Sincerely, Pokéfan 101

Can’t scan my rare cards

So… downloaded this app a few years ago and scanned my Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno and it never scanned. So now that I grabbed an Eternatus Vmax, it won’t scan either. So I thought “maybe both of my cards are just in the database” and soon found out that many prints of cards are not included. Only the default, holo, gold, and rainbow are included. Which is a problem for me because I mostly don’t have those versions. To make this even WORSE, all cards that aren’t in XY, Sun and Moon and Sword and Shield generations ARE NOT SUPPORTED. So I can’t scan my holo shadowless Gyarados or my holo Moltres.
Aside from that, at least the music is nice.

Great, but one suggestion

This app is great. As long as you find a good surface you can scan many cards at once. You can check your progress on all the card packs and see what sections your missing. Like for example you can check how many fire type cards you have in shining fates, and see how many you need. You can see promo cards and it’s overall a great app. Many people complain about “you can’t check the cards you have” but you can. Go to search, check “only owned” and search. No other categories. This app is very underrated and this is my main app to keep track of cards. I would recommend!

I like it but there’s downsides

For the most part, I like the app. My main problem is that for celebrations, it keeps resetting my collection to show me having some cards that I don’t and removes some of the ones I do have. I haven’t really been able to tell if it does it with any other sets because of my next issue with the app which is that I collect both the standard set as well as the parallel/reverse holos so it’s a bit more difficult to keep track of my collection on this app. I also collect the older sets like base set, fossil, and such as well as I have plenty of diamond pearl and black and white and it would be nice if they added the older gens to the app

Almost Perfect!

I thought this was a good app until it refused to scan promo cards and random cards from random packs. Sure I can go search it up, BUT you can’t do that for promo cards, you have to scan those in. Another thing, if this scanner is scanning and you go to grab a new card it will automatically scan a “shadow circle Trainer Stadium” card. It will also scan this card if your trying to scan something that won’t go through, like a card holder binder. strange app, but it will work for some features. Really wish the promo cards would scan though :(.

Please write a review

A long time ago I bought a ZygrdeEX 190hp fighting type I bought in a metal box with cards that came with it and i bought it in person not online but when I went to scan it did not work and some of my others so I want to know if it does not have all of the cards because I don’t think there fake because it’s the same quality as all the real ones and I own 1 fake card a kid gave me when I was in grade school and i just want to make sure but I think the ap is cool

Not Great for Collectors

I’ve been collecting Pokémon cards since 2017. I downloaded this app because I thought it was going to have everything. When I downloaded it at the time, it was just Sun & Moon. But they’ve added support for X&Y and of course Sword & Shield. I used Pokéllector to track my cards before and now I still have to keep it on standby because this app only includes everything X&Y and above and nothing else. They do have the promos but they never seem to update them. There’s also some gaps in the Sun & Moon promo lists. So it’s incomplete.

Not to mention bugs and glitches are very common. Stuff like removing your tracking info, and recently, the app thinks that the Sword & Shield promos are no apart of Detective Pikachu and you must scan them to unlock them. If you do though, you get an exclusive art piece, which is just a white box with the detective pikachu logo on it.

So if your a collector, especially one that’s been collecting for a long time. Just get Pokéllector and stay away from this app.

This is really cool, but...

Let me start this off by saying that the reason for four stars is that it’s a really cool idea. This app has a lot of potential, and it just needs the support to reach it.
Recently I’ve been purchasing a lot more cards, and the Microsoft Word document I have been using to organize my list of cards is no longer cutting it, so this seemed like a great solution.
This app(at the moment) can only scan cards from XYZ, Sun and Moon, and Sword and Shield. The scanner is a really cool idea. For some reason, I will scan a ton of dofferent cards, and they will all be scanned as a Stadium card, known as “Shadow Circle”.
The card scanner does not scan cards properly until you can find the correct lighting and angle. It can take a while, but you can get it eventually.
The card tracker(library thing) is kind of hard to use, and you can not simply sift through all of your own cards as far as I can tell, but it still tracks what you do and don’t have.
All in all, this is a really cool idea, with a lot of potential, and it just needs some work and updates.

Scan doesn’t work

I am a big fan of Pokémon so I have a lot of cards I cannot keep track of! I then saw this app that I thought would help me out a bunch, but when I did tried scanning it keeps bringing me to a different card in a different booster pack. I thought this was just a little scan error so I tried again. After that time it still didn’t work! I tried over and over but no luck. I also tried different cards but it was no use! :/ another thing I had a problem with is that it does not have all the booster packs from gen 1 or gen 2 and stuff like that. Although I still just enjoy playing the tcg game

A good way to keep track of your cards.

This is a neat little app to to help keep track of which cards you have. I definitely wouldn't recommend you use it as a primary way to log your card as it only has the XY collections and beyond. I really enjoy the scan function it included even if it works only about 80% of the time. It really only seems to have issues reading cards that are holographic (including EX, Mega, GX, and V) although you can sometimes get it to read or you can also just look up the card under the app's search feature. It will scan both pokemon and Trainer cards and certain special energy cards. Overall I'd say it's definitely helpful no matter the size of your collection.
