About

Binder

Read full description

Binder is an unofficial collection tracker for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Every English set from Base Set to the newest expansion is built in, with card images, variants and market prices, so the only thing you add is what you own. SCAN A CARD, DONE Point the camera at a card. Binder reads the set and number, matches it against the whole catalogue and adds it to your collection in a tap. When the number is hard to read, Binder recognises the artwork itself. THE WHOLE CATALOGUE • 20 series, 200+ sets, 21,000+ cards • Normal, reverse holo, holo and 1st edition variants tracked separately • Set and series progress at a glance: what you own, what you're missing • New sets appear automatically, usually the day they're released KNOW WHAT IT'S WORTH Market prices for every card, refreshed daily. See the value of a card, a set or your whole collection. WISHLIST AND TRADES Mark the cards you're after and the spares you'd swap. Both lists live beside your collection. FRIENDS Share a friend code and see how your binders compare: cards owned, sets completed, collection value. Friends see those numbers and nothing else. WHAT'S NEW A feed of the sets and cards added since you last looked, and an optional alert the day a new set lands. YOUR COLLECTION, ON EVERY PHONE Sign in with an email address or with Apple, and your collection follows you to any phone you sign in on. Changes you make without a connection sync when you're back online. Free. No ads. No subscriptions. Binder is an independent, unofficial app. It is not produced, endorsed, supported or associated with Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK inc. or The Pokémon Company.
