This will mean that we can process cards a lot faster without having to tap the set it came from every time condition etc ### 2/5 — No extra deck *2026-05-15, version 8.0.13* I feel like this is false advertisement. The description says it supports extra deck but you can only put cards into main deck or side deck. No toggle button or anything anywhere. Extra deck monsters go straight into the main deck. It’s actually very frustrating ### 3/5 — Great App! *2026-03-24, version 8.0.10* Great app. Scans great, love the connection with TCG. I would rate it 5 stars but they are not updated with the game, as there are none of the new over frames or LOCH or LOCR collections, which are a huge deal in the game right now, and I can’t really gauge my collection without adding those because there are high value cards. So would like to see slab ratings be added for cards because that changes value a lot too. Still love the app! Would like to see it up to date. Hoping they’re working on that. ### 3/5 — Ok overall *2026-02-25, version 8.0.6* Works most of the time and I enjoy how I can go straight to TCGplayer to see the page but will have a massive issue where I’ll scan a card and when I go back to the scan function for a new one it’ll over and over bring up the previous card. I went through the cycle once to see how long it would do so and it scanned the floor as “left-hand shark” 30 times before I just completely closed the app to reset it. ### 2/5 — Has potential, but some major problems *2025-09-14, version 7.12.7* This scanner has many problems. I won’t get into them all, but the two glaring issues that most likely others will want to hear are the fact that it puts you in an unskippable ad after every 6 or 7 scans. And the second issue compounds on the problem with the first, the scanner is far too sensitive. It also highlights a portion of your screen, so you would think that would be what it was scanning, but nope it scans the whole picture, the highlighted area means absolutely nothing. Also, I’d say about 25% of my scans are incorrect. This happens more with high holo cards. But still, I’m basically sitting in an ad after 2 scans with how many errors I get. It also does not pick up on the set, so it doesn’t scan the text code, nor does it grade the rarity. So you can’t scan back to back because after each scan you have to fill in exactly which card it is. It’s a mess, honestly. And the fact they expect anyone to want to pay for this app is frankly outrageous. They are at a completion level of an early beta build with this. Bet you the devs got rushed and ended up having to release their pre beta. Because that’s what this is. Don’t pay for a beta build application folks. ### 4/5 — Top ! *2025-05-18* App super pour les grosse collection. Cependant j’ai remarqué que, quand je crée un deck sur le site avec le main et l’extra et que je souhaite le retrouver sur l’app, tout apparaît sauf l’extra deck, les seuls propositions sont main et side. Petit bug ou erreur de ma part ? ### 4/5 — Absolutely LOVE this app BUT… *2025-04-23, version 7.5.2* I’ve used this app for a long time and I really love it. It has worked perfectly and been an awesome help. The only problem I have now is I’ve been waiting for the new quarter century stampede set to be loaded in. I’ve been patient and I realize that they can’t do every set immediately but now that’s it’s been out for a bit, I would think they would have it up by now. Hopefully it comes soon! I have a big backlog of cards waiting! This is my only complaint though, otherwise this app is awesome! ### 3/5 — Adding New Releases *2025-04-17, version 7.9.1* Maybe I’m dumb because I can’t seem to find it, but I’ve been waiting for them to add the QC Stampede to the scanner with no luck. Is it just listed under QC Bonanza? Either way, the pack that was released AFTER QC Stanpede is on there so I see no reason why it wouldn’t be there already. Other than that, generally enjoying the app ### 2/5 — Have to make an account *2024-11-22, version 7.6.0* Can scan a few as guest but have to create an account to get full use of app. Tired of giving away all my info to use a tool. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2024-09-18, version 7.4.0* Doesn’t read almost any foil cards I have, all of which are in near mint condition. Doesn’t differentiate the different versions of cards (9 character code on the right above the card description) so the value isn’t always right Will sometimes bring up an entirely different card when scanning a card. Ex: was trying to make a spell folder and was only scanning spell cards, several times had to rescan because it scanned them as monster cards with a completely different name ### 4/5 — Perfect… but? *2024-06-20* Hello! I am a French collector and I want to thank you for this great application. The last feature that I find is really missing and that it adapts the prices to the languages of the cards collected. My cards are French and the market prices are those of English cards. For the rest, everything is really perfect. ### 4/5 — Perfectible *2024-06-02* L’application est assez pratique, néanmoins j’aurais aimé une fonction pour changer la langue de base pris en compte, la fonction AR serait alors bien plus utile. De plus dès qu’une carte est scannée on doit changer manuellement la langue pour chaque carte, choisir une langue par défaut serait idéal. ### 3/5 — Useful *2024-05-13, version 7.1.2* Know what my childhood deck is worth now ### 1/5 — Alles sind nur auf Englisch *2024-03-18* Ich verstehe kein Englisch. Es wäre gut, wenn man auf deutsch gibt, damit ich alles verstehen kann. **Developer response:** Hi, we do appreciate the feedback as we've passed this feedback unto our devs ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Latest Update- cant scroll *2026-04-27, version 8.0.13* Can’t scroll through card like before. Won’t load past cards… ### 1/5 — Recent update has completely broken the Group and Sort tools *2025-11-20, version 8.0.4* A recent app update appears to have broken the “Group and Sort” functions. DEVELOPERS PLEASE FIX THIS!!! DETAILS BELOW: You used to be able to group and sort your saved card list by several different parameters (alphabetically, card price, etc). Recently, the developers appear to have imposed “subset” groupings to your card list (literally called A1, B1, C2, etc). Each subset only contains a small handful of cards, maybe 4 at max, with no rhyme or reason to to the grouping. The Group and Sort tools only appear to work within each subset (not across the entire list). Additionally, when you scroll down through your list, it only displays until you reach the subset “Z”. After this, the list display breaks, and it doesn’t show anything past this. I have a personal card inventory approaching 20,000 cards, and I am no longer able to group/sort by price, name, purchase date, etc. This was the primary reason I decided to use this app, along with the ability to search your card list by keywords (at least that still works) DEVELOPERS PLEASE FIX THIS!!! I will adjust my rating when/if this gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Scan dosent work *2025-10-29* Nothing Happens if you Scan a card. You get an blackscreen ### 1/5 — Used to work fine now wont *2025-10-24, version 8.0.2* It doesnt even show you the card value i have around $500 in cards already scanned and now it shows $36 which one card is worth the price alone ! ### 1/5 — Every update makes the app worse!!!!!! *2025-08-08, version 7.12.2* Not really sure how developers can make an app worse with every single update. This used to be one of my favorite apps to use to track my collection and see what all I have. They have gone for making it easy to scan and see what you have to making it near impossible to scan and almost impossible to find what cards you’re looking for and what sets they are from find another app to use because this is not complete garbage!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Used to have unlimited scans for free *2025-06-16, version 7.10.2* I scanned over 100 of my cards last year never got a “scan limit for the day reached” now they are wanting to charge for more than 5 cards to scan? I’m deleting this app extremely disappointed I have had this app for years. ### 1/5 — Was a great app until they decided to limit the best feature *2025-03-05, version 7.8.1* Was a great app for scanning and keeping track of your collection, and then they decided to completely gut the scanning portion of it unless you do their premier subscription. The bulk scan is absolutely atrocious to use now look for another app. ### 1/5 — Deleted my cards! *2024-11-23, version 7.6.0* After months of adding my almost 8,000 card collection to my custom folder in my inventory, it mad me do a card database update which deleted my entire folder and I’m now unable to even create a new one!! ### 1/5 — Limited compared to how it used to be *2024-06-03, version 7.1.2* I used to be able to scan as much as I want now only limited to 4 scans. Yet I can type search as much as I want. I’d rather use TCG Player’s actual website. Deleting this and and any other app affiliated with this company. ### 1/5 — What’s the point of this app *2024-05-28, version 7.1.2* U can’t even buy and sell card, what’s the point of knowing the price then, u can just search it online ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is wonderful ty *2025-10-31, version 8.0.2* I love it it’s the best ever I can scan my cards and price them. If I wanted To, I could sell them too ### 5/5 — Super bon *2025-08-10, version 7.12.2* Super bon pour m aider les noms et prix ### 5/5 — Parfait pour les collectionneurs ! *2025-05-24* L’application est vraiment très bien et permet facilement de renseigner ces cartes pour concevoir un suivi sur sa collection ! Cependant il est dommage que l’application ne soit pas disponible en FR et ne dispose pas d’un paramétrage spécifique pour renseigner toutes cartes de base en FR (ce qui permettrait dans un premier temps un vrai gain de temps et surtout de pouvoir bénéficier des vrais cotes des cartes FR, qui sont souvent assez éloigné et plus cher que les cartes EN) En espérant que ces différentes remarques verront le jour ! Au quel cas l’application méritera un 5 à coup sûr !! ### 5/5 — Phenomenal app *2024-11-23, version 7.6.0* Absolutely enjoy this app. I can quickly find TCG prices of cards. I can upload my whole collection and organize it. I enjoy the fact that there is a deck area that tells the win rate of the deck… although I wish I could add extra deck as well not just main and side deck. Overall amazing app. It’s my goto for scanning my cards! ### 5/5 — Phenomenal App for collecting Cards *2024-05-12, version 7.1.2* I just wanted to say many thanks for making a easy way to catalog, get prices, make decks with a draw feature. You’ve nailed everything I could want in this app! Only suggestion would be to have where you can duel your own decks saved. If not at least make a markup on the deck that you can save its wins/losses/ draws. Would be awesome to see my decks stats also when I use it. Other then that amazing job devs! Kudos!! Also found an Easter egg when I scanned my floor/wallpaper, awesome fun tidbit 🤙🏻 ### 5/5 — Amazing App! but… *2023-10-17, version 6.0.0* This app works great, but with the new update it came with a fix. Whenever i scan a card and gets the Set incorrect, the scroll to select the correct set doesn’t show other sets . I have to keep scanning until it gets it correct . thank you for the app, hopefully this will be fixed soon. ### 5/5 — Where is ots-22 *2023-08-04, version 5.7* DuNe was available before the ots-22 pack. ### 5/5 — It’s almost perfect *2023-07-28, version 5.7* Great app. Honestly does a solid job. Hopefully there will be an update where the app detects the condition of the card and rates it based off what it thinks. That way it’s universal for anyone who uses it without a human judgement. This app would be a million times better if it even had a deck builder in it. A separate tab or section of the app only for deck building. Like an AI chat and it’d ask me “okay what kind of deck are you looking for? Is there something specific you want? You don’t want? Banned cards? Etc”. And from that, it will just build me a deck instead of me going through the thousands of cards I have in my inventory. That’d be super cool. And as I get new cards, maybe it can suggest changes to my deck. ### 5/5 — Good *2023-04-04, version 5.5.7* Omg good ### 5/5 — Fur *2023-03-15* Pratique 🙏 **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
