Why?

Well, it doesn’t have the complete Pokémon card collection like dragon shield did. In dragon shield we had every single card, this “Sorted” only seems to have some of the cards not all of the Pokemon cards please fix it. And what I mean by that is I can search “vstar” on dragon shield and hundreds maybe even thousands of different cards will come up. But when I search “vstar” on sorted exactly 38 cards come up. So that’s what I mean. If this could be fixed PLEASE DO IT. Btw it’s not just Vstar cards it a lot of the cards.

Hi there! Thanks for the feedback. The card catalogue should be the same between the two apps, and we're always working towards having it as up to date as possible with new releases. We are also currently in the process of adding all Japanese expansions to both apps. We'd love to know which cards you found to be missing - could you reach out through support@tcgsorted.com to give us some more information?

Okay…

It’s fine if you’re just checking value of singles. But as a way of tracking your collection, it’s pretty bad. 1) It either freezes or crashes while trying to load my collection folder 2) The fact that it does not automatically group duplicates together is stupid. I have tons of boxes of cards… I don’t have them sorted physically so I don’t always know how many of each card I have. So if I’m not marking each card as different condition, it should automatically group duplicates of the same card vs making a completely separate entry 3) It’s super annoying that vintage Japanese pokemon are not in the system. Seriously thinking about canceling my membership and just going back to Collectr - I’d rather deal with slight inconsistencies with pricing than all of this.

Hey there Valerie0616! Thanks for sharing such detailed feedback. We’re glad Sorted is useful for checking card values, and your comments on collection loading, duplicate grouping, and vintage Japanese Pokémon cards give the team clear areas to improve. We’ve passed everything along. For the freezing and crashing, please contact support@tcgsorted.com with your account, device, and app version so we can investigate further.

Better scanner / more bugs

Scans way faster and better than TCG scanner but it gets stuck on the card you just scanned . I have to close the app each time and open back up to scan the next card .

Good scanner, poor UI

I’m moving over from the Dragon Shield app, and this hasn’t been the best experience overall.

Pros: The scanner is a lot smoother. It recognizes basic lands a lot better than the Dragon Shield app used to. As long as it doesn’t crash my app during the next update (like Dragon Shield’s did one time) I’ll be happy with it. Many of the user tools are the same, but in different places. The layout is the same as DS was. Inputting my DS collection was stress free and pretty seamless.

Cons: I manage a significant collection, and need to search often when a contributor wants to see if we have a specific item in inventory. I’m also frequently adding copies of cards we already own. The search bar is atrocious. It doesn’t accept input properly, so I have to back out and retype a few times before I can get it to actually search. It also doesn’t seem to like space bar input, and if I don’t type really fast, it runs words together and messes up the search… and if I do type really fast, it deletes a letter and also messes up the search.
The app is plain, with no news articles or graphics other than the cards. It makes it a boring experience.
The price layout is the same, but configuration is next to impossible to find. I’m used to using TCG mid. I don’t know what this app shows, but it shows the collection significantly less valuable, which is not helpful for submitting insurance riders for coverage. I need an accurate replacement value directly.
The “rate my app?” question pops up 3-4 times in a session, interrupting my archives after I’ve already spent more time than I want to struggling with the search function, which means I then have to try to get my input in again. It’s so frustrating. I hope that submitting this will stop that pop up.

Overall, it’s better than what TCG’s app became and worse than DS’s app was. Fixing the search so it is smooth and seamless will go a long way towards raising my score for this app.

Hey there FrenchThwarter! Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad the scanner and collection migration worked smoothly, but we’re sorry the search experience and repeated rating prompt have made managing your collection frustrating. We’ve passed your feedback to the team so they can take a closer look at the search issues, pricing options, review prompt, and overall experience. Your comments about managing a larger collection are especially helpful.

Phone gets hot fast

Did the migration per the constant pestering on dragon shield app. Seemed ok at first main issue was I always sorted folders by creation date in DS but that did not translate to the import. Liked the scanner on this, seemed an improvement. Big problem when actually scanning cards and trying to add to inventory. iPhone 16 pro got noticeably hot very fast. Then by the second card i would try to scan in I’d select the folder then the app would just freeze up. Would have to wait 5 min for my phone to cool down then I could go back and scan one card again before overheat. Going back to DS until there are some major fixes to this app…

Hey KJMAKO! We’re sorry the phone heating up and the app freezing affected your experience. We’re looking into these issues, and your feedback about sorting and translation is also helpful. For the migration issue, please email support@tcgsorted.com with your account email or username and details of what happened. We’ll make sure your collection is imported successfully.

R u kidding? Apps crazy annoying and unprofessional.

As I scroll every 2 seconds it pops up with this S on the screen. Just horrific user experience. Just let it buffer without your annoying S. Horrific poketcg sold to you fellahs. Be better. For the love of God. Great app turned into what feels like someone making something for the 1st time out of their mom’s basement. Will gladly change this to a 5 if you guys can figure your life’s out. My lord, what a miss. The disappointment is monumental. I rely on pokeTCG soooo much for my business. What a letdown.

Hey JussJoshin! We’re sorry Sorted hasn’t delivered the experience you expected, especially when you rely on the app for your business. We appreciate you being honest about how frustrating it has been and we’ll share this feedback with the team as we continue improving the app.

Glitchy, Blazing Fast Scan

Ok love the blazing fast scanner.However when doing inventory verification, when I type to search major lag causing typo issues and auto closing of folder. It almost seams when searching database instead of just searching Pokemon database its searching all 5 databases causing a pause effect when typing. Get that fixed and I’ll upgrade to 5 starts. Also it would be nice when after adding a new card your list of cards doesn’t always go back to the top of the list instead of where you were looking. Letter tabs along the side to allow you to skip to the beginning of each letter would be awesome. Keep up the good work

Karten Datenbank

An sich eine gute App könnt ihr bitte noch die Reverse holos aus EX unseen Forces/Legend maker und weitere aus der Ära hinzufügen

Response from developer

Hi DominikT02, Thanks for the feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the app! We’ve passed your request along to the team, including adding the Reverse Holos from EX Unseen Forces, Legend Maker, and other sets from that era.

Downgrade from dragonshield app

It’s got very limited sorting options unless you pay the subscription fee, to the point that I uninstalled it despite the fact that I had over $20k worth of cards inventoried in it. I have to start over in a different app, but I’ll make sure it’s an app that does what I need it to do.

Pros and Cons

Coming from Dragon Shield’s app this one has pros and cons. I’ll start with the negative. The UI is kind of clunky. It feels more like I’m looking at a mobile version of a website rather than an app. Once you get used to where everything is though it’s not that bad. The positive though is the scanner is way better than Dragon Shield’s. You don’t have the problems with glares, foils, and black cards. It scans them right away and it’s accurate.

Hi Djp7865, we appreciate the support. We will keep improving the details that make managing cards feel effortless.

Lots of Freezes

I’d like to rate this higher but with the app freezing constantly and requiring me to close it and reopen to get back to what I was doing is frustrating. As well I currently have a folder I have been not able to open at all. It has been freezing when opened every time for the past few days.

Yet another money grab

I have to pay for premium to see my prices, even after I paid for premium on Dragonshield and being forced to move to this new app? Nope. Looks like I’m uninstalling both and finding something new

Terrible app

I switched to it so my cards would be on dragonshield’s servers and be safe after a data wipe on my phone

The app poorly handles cards and freezes extremely often
If you try to move cards to other apps/sites like moxfield, everything breaks and it messes up id’s and printings and if its foil or not. Do not recommend. Use manabox or moxfield

App freezes constantly

The app works well when it works, apart from the fact that it freezes every single time even when I close and open the app or reinstall it’ll freeze every time I want to add a card, it takes me about 20 times to open the app to get it to add successfully

No bulk scan!!!!

Why is there no option to do bulk scanning!!!

WTH?

Had to migrate here from DragonShield… can’t view my collection the way i used to. Cant scan in card easily as i once could. What a waste…

What a Downgrade from Dragon Shield

Dragon Shield’s MTG Scanner was much better. Dragon Shield’s ease of use trumps this new app. Adding cards directly to folders by scanning them and typing in your values was far more convenient and time efficient. It WAS better than ManaBox but now this is equally as frustrating as ManaBox when it comes to scanning cards and adding them to folders. Also they want you to pay to be able to see your daily top 50 cards prices. This app sucks now. All the features I used Dragon Shield’s MTG SCANNER for are gone now. Might as well stick with ManaBox. I purchase Dragon Shield products but I am highly disappointed with the direction the app has gone in. Thanks for ruining a good collection manager!

Stability Issues

Giving this app 1 star so that the developers can notice this issue.

Seemingly whenever the app tries to load after I press a “sort” button or a “save changes” button the entire app freezes as soon as the logo for loading shows up.

I just transferred my collection from the dragon shield pokemon card app a few months ago, including all of my completed collections, so I got a good ~1,500 cards in there, maybe thats what’s causing it? I have no idea…

Regardless of the cause, overall the app is really nice to have! I would rate it much higher if I was not receiving this issue, however I will likely have to switch to a new app soon if it doesn’t get resolved.

Hi Anyomumos, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re actively working on improving the app and matching our users needs. You can expect some major improvements available very soon. Thank you for your patience!

Randomly stopped working

For several days I have not been able to add any cards to my collection because it can’t connect to the server. No idea why, but it’s completely useless.

Missing Features of previous apps, crashes regularly.

The previous app MTG by the same company had the ability to bulk scan by set which allowed for quick scanning. This only has slow individual scans. There was a tool for selling and marking sold cards that was useful. The app crashes while scrolling through folders or editing entries. The scanning is an improvement over the previous apps.

Hi ReviewLeaver302, bulk scanning is currently in development. We know how useful this feature is for collectors, and the team is working hard to bring it to the app soon. Regarding the crashes, please email support@tcgsorted.com with a description of what happened so our team can investigate.
