## What is River TCG?

River is the AI-powered way to scan, price, and understand your trading card collection.

Point your camera at any card and River identifies it and shows its market value in seconds — free. River Lens prices cards on your screen during live breaks, and River's AI answers questions about your whole collection.

WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S PRO
Free: scan cards one at a time, browse every card set, search the catalog, see the Near Mint market price of any card, track one collection or binder of up to 25 cards, and preview today's biggest price movers.

Everything marked (Pro) requires River TCG Pro, a paid auto-renewing subscription available as an in-app purchase.

SCAN ANY CARD INSTANTLY
River recognizes cards from the live camera as soon as they're in frame. Scan hands-free in Auto, or tap the screen in Tap mode. When glare hides the artwork, River reads the card's name and attacks instead. Build a stack, then add every card to your collection in one tap. Recognition runs entirely on your device; your camera images are never uploaded.
- Scan a whole binder page in a single shot (Pro)
- Pricing by condition and grade right from the scanner (Pro)

CHECK CARD CENTERING (Pro)
Photograph a card's front and back. River measures its left/right and top/bottom centering and shows the centering grade it could reach at major grading companies.

KNOW WHAT IT'S WORTH
Real, up-to-date market values from a licensed pricing provider. Pricing by condition, variant, and grade, plus full price history and recent sold prices, is Pro.

TRACK YOUR COLLECTION'S VALUE
Watch a collection's total value update automatically. Or make it a binder: nine-pocket pages you arrange card by card, with a tap to flip any pocket from art to price. View values in your local currency. Pro unlocks unlimited collections and cards.

RIVER LENS: PRICE CARDS ON ANY SCREEN (Pro)
Start River Lens, then switch to a stream, video, or marketplace in another app. River shows the prices of cards on your screen in a Live Activity on the Lock Screen, and in the Dynamic Island on supported iPhones. You start it from the iOS screen-recording prompt and can stop it at any time. Recognition runs on your device, and your screen is never uploaded.

CHAT WITH YOUR COLLECTION (Pro)
Ask River anything: "What should I sell right now?" "Which cards are gaining value?" River's AI knows your actual collection and gives clear, personalized answers.

SELL AT CARD SHOWS (Pro)
Turn on Vending in Settings and run your table from your phone:
- Buy, sell, and trade with a cart, bundle pricing, and offers at a set percentage of market
- Track cost, profit, and net for every sale
- Log shows with table fees and see per-show results and cash-box totals
- Print price labels and export your sales to CSV

DAILY MOVERS
See today's biggest gainers and losers. The home screen preview is free; the full list with filters is Pro.

ALSO WITH PRO
- Favorites lists
- Sealed products and sorting by value
- Custom app color themes

SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS
River AI TCG Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of that period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Pricing is shown in the app before you buy.

AI AND YOUR DATA
River's chat assistant is powered by the Google Gemini API. The app tells you exactly what is sent and asks your permission before any chat data leaves your device, and you can withdraw that permission at any time in Settings.

Prices are for informational purposes and come from a third-party data provider. River is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any trading card manufacturer.
