Money goes into your iPhone!? Money changes to various kinds!? Money appears from your iPhone!? You can easily do magic with your iPhone & this App!! Hold your iPhone vertically and perform magic as a mysterious container like a glass. You can make coins and bills come in and go out from the top of the iPhone. Set the type and number of money in phases of up to 10 stages. You can proceed with the magic that money appears, changes, and disappears in the order that you set. Up to 5 types of coins can be included in each phase, and up to 25 coins can be displayed in the screen throughout all phases. 【Only one bill can be set in one phase and can not be mixed with coins】 ◆You can perform your favorite performance by adjusting the timing at which money appears and changes. 【Please note that in the case of iPad, it is difficult to grasp the timing to perform magic because there is no vibration function】 ◆Adjusting the color tone of the money to 10 levels according to the amount of light in the place where you perform the magic can produce a more realistic performance. ◆The size of the displayed money image can be adjusted according to the screen of your iPhone. You can also make a comical magic by making the image of the coin extremely large or small. ◆By covering the top of the screen, you can shut money up into the screen. Drag one confined coin with your finger, and the coin will disappear from the screen by moving the coin by a certain amount, then you can also make a performance that the coin appears from another place. ◆Apart from 10 phases, you can set up 25 kinds of coins, and you can make these coins continue to appear forever. ◆By combining foreign money, for example, it is possible to make the performance that Japanese yen change to American dollars. ◆Depending on the setting, you can enjoy teaching money exchange, through Magic. ◆Type of money (total of coins and bills)◆ □USA : 7 types □Japan : 9 types □Australia : 9 types □England : 11 types □Euro : 10 types □China : 8 types □Korea : 7 types □New Zealand : 8 types □Hong Kong : 11 types □Canada : 8 types □Singapore : 8 types □Thailand : 7 types 【Please note that it is not necessarily the latest coin & bills】 ◆Language can be switched between Japanese and English in the application. ◆An example of magic is stated in [Instructions Manual] of the application.

Card2Phone's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (73% vs 60%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
