## What is Rare Candy?

Rare Candy — The Ultimate App for TCG Collectors


Scan your entire Pokémon card collection instantly, track value over time, and even shop for missing cards, all while connecting with a community of fellow collectors. Rare Candy is the #1 app for Pokémon card enthusiasts and collectors.

SCAN INSTANTLY
Use your camera to identify any Pokémon card in seconds. Our AI-powered scanner recognizes both raw and graded cards (PSA, CGC, BGS, TAG slabs included and pulls up each card’s details and market value instantly. It works for all English and Japanese sets – from vintage Base Set and Jungle to the newest Mega sets.


TRACK YOUR COLLECTION
Ditch the spreadsheets – Rare Candy helps you organize your entire collection in one app. Build a digital binder to keep track of every card you own and see your progress toward completing each master set. Your collection and wishlist update automatically as you scan, so you always know what you have and what you need.

COLLECTION INSIGHTS
Get real-time insight into your collection’s true value. Rare Candy calculates your total portfolio worth using live market prices, showing instantly if you’re up or down. Watch price trends over time and make confident buying, selling, or trading decisions with up-to-date data at your fingertips.


KNOW WHAT TO GRADE
Take the guesswork out of grading. Rare Candy’s Grade Worthy feature analyzes the gap between a card’s raw price and its PSA 10 price, pointing out which cards could skyrocket in value with a perfect grade. It’s grading advice made simple – no more risky guesses or wasted grading fees.

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE
Fill the gaps in your collection worry-free. Rare Candy’s marketplace connects you with verified sellers and vetted products. Catch weekly deal drops, exclusive auctions, and new release pre-orders to snag rare cards and sealed products at great prices.

### 1/5 — INSTA PACKS ARE A SCAM

*2026-08-16, version 3.2.0*

Awhile back I bought some of their insta packs thinking I could order the cards that I decided to keep from them and have them delivered to my house BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY ADVERTISE instead of my cards that gave me 1000 of their in app candy currency things and an “apology” for how long the cards were taking to ship and ensured me they were still sending them, it’s been over 6 months now and NOTHING, my husband left for deployment AND came home in the amount of time I’ve been waiting for these cards. I tried reaching out to customer support via the email and never got a response from them, DO NOT BUY THEIR PACKS and tbh an app that is willing to scam people like that isn’t worth using for its other features either

### 1/5 — Doesn’t show the wright card

*2026-08-15, version 3.2.0*

I was scanning a empoleon v and it showed up as a Luca rip v so please fix that rare candy

### 5/5 — My favorite scanner

*2026-08-15, version 3.2.0*

It is really just a good scanner and they do give outs and that have a feed AND… auctions it’s crazy I guarantee once you bye one pack you’ll be begging for more so I recommend

### 1/5 — Keeps getting worse

*2026-08-14, version 3.2.0*

Was a good app for awhile and the instapacks were good at first, now you can rip a hundred packs in a row and lose money on all of them even tho they gave you bs percentages about 2% of packs being grails. Their pricing on cards is also totally off and not updated based on real time sales, I’m assuming that’s cuz they’ve been too busy screwin their customers on instapacks. Better off using collectr and buying cards you actually want.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-08-13, version 3.2.0*

Great way to keep track of collection. Ive had a great experience with the online rips. Even some of the non highlight cards have been worthy of keeping. Ive gotten quite a few master set cards that i was missing. Highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Crazy

*2026-08-13, version 3.2.0*

It is so good, no ads no money

### 5/5 — Comments

*2026-08-13, version 3.2.0*

App is Good But it needs Commets

### 1/5 — Crashes everywhere

*2026-08-13, version 3.2.0*

The app will crash on you at least 3 times per day

### 2/5 — Horrible Customer service

*2026-08-12, version 3.2.0*

Decent functionality but horrible customer service! Couldn’t get any response as to why I was being charged shipping fee for an item over $150. And being charged a processing fee for an item not in an auction. Also the don’t seem to be any security safeguards.. no way I’m uploading my bank information. Also haven’t yet been shipped a card I pulled on instapack and it’s been a few days.

### 1/5 — What

*2026-08-10, version 3.1.1*

I tried to open the app and out of nowhere it kicked me out and my 100+ cards and now it won’t let me enter into my account or make any other account 
Wth is going on here
