Misnomer
The controls (sort, add cards, change games) are all hidden behind a glitchy bar at the bottom of the screen that randomly chooses not to appear. The **sort** function is useless, you can press a button but **literally nothing** happens to cards.
There is a single redeeming feature that keeps this from being 0 stars, and that’s the important feature that automatically makes all your old folders from the previous app populate and sorts all the cards back in minutes.
Response from developer
Hi Masodenson! Thanks for the feedback. Glad the process of importing cards from the Dragon Shield apps worked well for you. Regarding the sorting issue you pointed out, that is not normal. If I'm understand correctly, the sorting order is not changing after you click "Apply" on the top right corner of the screen? Could you reach out to us through support@tcgsorted.com and include a couple screenshots or a screen recording of what you are seeing so we can find the issue faster?
Prefer the old app.
Response from developer
Hi Sailor Hairy! Thank you for the detailed feedback. On sorting by type: we hear what you're saying, it makes a lot of sense, and we're taking it back to the team to evaluate the change! On friends and seeing collections: we know it's a feature many of you love, and it's something we're working to bring to Sorted. We also hear you on wanting more personality, like profiles, badges, and a bit more color. We know moving from another app is tough, and our goal is for Sorted to grow into an experience that carries forward what you loved about the Dragon Shield apps and goes further. If you have more suggestions or feedback, reach us anytime at support@tcgsorted.com or on our Discord!
The worse TCG App
Response from developer
Hi Thisthingisalie! Sorry about this - the search behaviour you're describing (dropped letters when typing fast, no space bar in collection search) is not intended, and we're looking into it. The overheating isn't expected either. Could you email support@tcgsorted.com with your device model and iOS version, and a screen recording of the search issue if you can manage it? That would help us fix it faster.
Many Bugs. App Needs Work
My inventory shows duplicate cards when I scroll down the list and often fails to load at all or refreshes after I scroll down a bit. It seems like this happens when it’s trying to load the advertisements that are now shown every few rows. There are way more ads on this new application than the old one (why are there even ads in my inventory folder at all?).
Some cards I searched for were not populating but this issue was present in both this app and dragon shield. For example I could not locate some of the new first partner collection cards. They have been out for a few weeks but maybe they are too new?
Also you now cannot even view your inventory without an internet connection. I double checked and confirmed the old dragon shield app loaded my inventory while my phone was in airplane mode but the new app doesn’t have this feature and requires internet. I have been to several shows with bad/slow internet and it would be very convenient to still be able to look at my cards.
I would also like it if the language and condition properly reflected in the price charting for each card. Maybe that can be added in a future update.
I’ll check back to see how this app improves in the future and update my review as needed, but this seems like a step backwards from the old Dragon Shield app.
Response from developer
Hi BananaLaffyyTaffyy! Thanks for taking the time to write this up in detail. The duplicate cards and failed loading while scrolling is not expected and we'll investigate. On the ads: they're made by our team and only promote features within Sorted, but we've noted that placing them inside collection lists is disruptive. Offline access isn't supported right now - that was a deliberate trade-off for faster sync and updates - but we have noted the feedback. Condition- and language-specific pricing is on our radar too. If you can send your device model and iOS version to support@tcgsorted.com, plus the names of the First Partner cards you couldn't find, we'll chase both the loading/duplicate cards issues you mentioned and the database gap.
Not a good app.
Response from developer
Hi ehhsixbdkebsnsx! Thanks for the feedback. You can actually reorder your folders and customize how they are organized. Just click the game name on the bar at the bottom of the screen while you are in the Folders view, then activate "Display custom order" and edit the custom order to what you prefer! Regarding the cards that cause your folders to not be scrollable, that is definitely an issue - could you reach out to support@tcgsorted.com with some additional info - what folders/cards are having this problem, some screenshots, and your account email? That way we can look into what might be going on!
Why get rid of DragonShield?
Response from developer
Hi Tiller05yeah! Thanks for the feedback. We are working to bring into Sorted all the expertise we developed for years working on the Dragon Shield apps - some aspects are not as refined yet but we are improving continuously! Regarding the friends, that feature is planned and will come back to Sorted! The server and scanner issues you reported are not normal, though. The scanner technology remains the same we had on the Dragon Shield apps. Could you reach out to support@tcgsorted.com with some more information on what cards you are struggling to scan, and what kind of server errors you are encountering? We'll help you out!
Why?
Dragon Shield app WAY BETTER
Response from developer
Hi Shadowgundam272! Thanks for the feedback. We are currently working to bring into Sorted the expertise we developed over the years with the Dragon Shield apps. We may not be quite there yet, but we're working to improve fast and make Sorted an even better experience. Regarding the Premium features, what is Premium on Sorted was already Premium on the Dragon Shield apps, and we are planning to add more in the future - along with many more free features. If there are specific features you relied on that aren't in Sorted yet, email support@tcgsorted.com; that helps us gather information on what to build next!
Needs More
My biggest reason for my rating is the fact that the wishlist ability wasn’t implemented. So you can’t keep track of the cards you want, how much they currently are and what packs they’re from. So I can’t rely on this app for it, I’ll have to go back and forth between apps or not use this one at all until the wishlist ability is added.
Response from developer
Hi there! Thanks for the feedback. It's great to hear you are enjoying the upgrades we made :) The wishlist is coming soon! We know it is a feature a lot of people like and use, and we are bringing it back, so you will be able to do all your tracking - for both cards you have and cards you want - in Sorted. If you have any other thoughts or feedback you'd like to share, you can do so via our Discord or by reaching out to support@tcgsorted.com.
A scanner that works
Response from developer
Hi there! Thank you so much for the kind words, they made our day!
Decks didn’t import
I simply don’t understand. On poke TCG, I downloaded the dragon shield file, then on sorted, I selected “dragon shield format”, and selected the downloaded file. How could that possibly not just work? Why didn’t my decks get automatically when I signed in? Will poke TCG stay up or will I actually have to get used to sorted before my old decklists are gone forever? What did I do wrong with the deck import?
Response from developer
Hi there! Sorry to hear you ran into issues while importing your decks. What you described is not supposed to happen at all - decks should have been imported along with your collection. Could you reach out to us through support@tcgsorted.com with your account email so we can look into what happened and help you get your decks into Sorted?
Doesn’t work
Why did you force people to use something that isn’t finished yet? People are tired of this sophomoric, half-tried, poorly executed software, that once again were forced to use. Pure garbage. If the next update isn’t significant I am done with yall. Already quit buying your sleeves years ago. Yall gave up on quality anything a while ago.
It’s close
Response from developer
Hi UpInDaSkies! Thanks for the detailed feedback. The points you brought up regarding the placement of the add button and the number of clicks required to add cards to your folders has been passed along to our team. We're looking to streamline the "add to collection" flow precisely to make tasks like the one you described easier. If you'd like to share any more thoughts, reach out to us through our Discord or at support@tcgsorted.com!
Prefer the old app.

Forced to use app
Search results on how to use this terrible app resulted in “you might want to migrate your collection to a mature, stable app.”
Will definitely start looking for better options.
Response from developer
Hi Lavode! Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy Sorted. The sorting does exist: tap the game name on the bar at the bottom of the screen and you'll get all the sort options for your cards and folders. We're working on making that easier to find! If you give it another go and have any other suggestions, reach us at support@tcgsorted.com or on Discord.
Card Scanning Not Working
Response from developer
Hi Nyluenatha Stareyes! That does not sound like the normal behavior of the scanner at all. Could you send some screenshots or a screen recording, plus your device model and iOS version, to support@tcgsorted.com? That way we can look into the issue and address it as soon as possible. To your point regarding the flow to scan multiple cards, that will be coming soon, so stay tuned!
Nowhere else to give feedback
I also don't like that I can't choose Card Kingdom as one of the price markets. Dragon Shield was much better. Boo to Dragon Shield for switching this over to Sorted so far.
Response from developer
Hi Traumatize1! The search experience you're describing sounds like an issue and not what we intended the feature to be like. We'd like to understand if there is some problem we aren't yet aware of: could you send your device model and iOS version, plus a quick screen recording if you can manage it, to support@tcgsorted.com? That'll help us reproduce and fix it. Regarding Card Kingdom, it's not one of our price sources right now, but we've noted your preference and will take it into consideration when we look into adding more marketplaces. We know moving over from Dragon Shield takes some adjusting, and feedback like yours genuinely helps us get it right. You can always reach us at support@tcgsorted.com or on our Discord.
I like the previous app more…
Response from developer
Hi Mason Hughes 2! Thank you for the kind words! Regarding the missing features from the old apps, we are currently working on them - the daily movers are making a comeback soon, as are other favorites like the bulk scanner and the wishlist. Stay tuned!
Should have waited
Response from developer
Hi Rolo0485, good news is: most of these features are already in development. The team is excited about it too, and we’re looking forward to share more as soon as we can!
Such a good app
Response from developer
Hi Maddox 10888! We really appreciate the support! Knowing Sorted is helping collectors save time and enjoy their collections more is exactly why we built it.
