### 4/5 — Super useful app!

*2026-07-27*

This is a great app for keeping track of cards I’m looking for as well as cards I already own, one thing I’d like to say though, I was wondering if the Pokémon TCG: First Partner Illustration Collection sets will be added soon as they currently do not appear in the search! :)

### 5/5 — Omg

*2026-05-13*

NO ADS 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

### 2/5 — Make it free and update!

*2026-04-20*

Please update and make everything free then you will be more popular

### 4/5 — It is sure useful

*2026-04-12, version 1.2.0*

I LOVE this app the only reason I give this 4 stars is because it’s kind of slow and a lot of times the card scanner doesn’t work

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-03-20*

Just what I wanted!!

### 3/5 — Outdated with annoying bugs.

*2026-02-22*

This app currently has no Mega Evolution sets. It’s OK if you’re looking at older sets. It definitely has a few bugs that should be easy to fix, but as of the latest update, they still have not fixed  them. For example, the sort and filter function is hit or miss. If you want to sort by card number or by price, it does not sort correctly.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! The 1.2.0 update is now live and includes all the latest sets including Mega Evolutions. The sort/filter bugs have also been fixed, give it another try!

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2025-10-11*

I downloaded this hoping I could scan my hits collection, but it’s too cumbersome. The scanner works fantastic and it’s fast, but then you have to press a star on the top right and then tell it where you want to save it to… That’s just too when you want to quickly catalog your full collection. Why they haven’t made an option where you go into your list, you scan the card and then it’s automatically added to the list - then reopens the scanner for the next card, I’m sure I’ll never know. Nobody wants to do all these actions when having to scan hundreds/thousands of cards for cataloging. So the scanner works and it’s accurate, the features of the app is what comes short. I’d only use this app if you have a list made already and only want to add new cards you pull.

**Developer response:** Great suggestion! We're working on a "scan-and-add-to-list" flow where the scanner stays open between scans. Stay tuned, this is high on our roadmap.

### 5/5 — Checking value

*2025-09-03*

So far it’s been accurate on value

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2025-08-22*

I just downloaded and scanned my first card and I got to say I’m satisfied with the first scan. I’m wandering what my next scans will be with the guide.

### 2/5 — Good UI but unusable result speeds

*2025-08-05*

App has arguably the best interface of TCG scanners - clean and simple - but it currently takes multiple minutes to get a hit on a scan (if it returns a result at all), and it can only scan one card at a time, essentially freezing the app. This renders the app pretty much unusable. 

I can scan dozens of cards in other apps in the time it takes to scan one card in this one. Maybe the dev will improve the back end processing, but until then, it’s a huge waste of time and effort.

**Developer response:** I’m really sorry for the frustrating experience you had. At the time you tried the app, our servers were experiencing performance issues, which caused the long scan times and freezes you mentioned.

With the new 1.1.9 update, we’ve completely resolved these problems — scans now process within seconds, and you can continue using the app while results load. I truly appreciate your patience and feedback, and I hope you’ll give the updated version a try.
