Point your camera at any trading card and get an instant identification, an estimated market price, and a graded value forecast in seconds. Whether you are sorting an old binder, checking a fresh pull, or deciding what is worth sending off to grade, PokeTCG helps you understand what each card is and what it could be worth. HOW IT WORKS Scan a card with your camera or choose a photo from your library. PokeTCG reads the artwork, name, set symbol, collector number, and rarity to identify the exact print, then shows an estimated raw price along with a value ladder for the most popular grades. WHAT YOU CAN DO Instant card identification Recognize the card name, set, release year, rarity, type, and HP from a single photo. Real market prices See up to date market estimates pulled from a live trading card price database. Graded value estimates Get projected values for Ungraded, PSA 8, PSA 9, and PSA 10 so you can decide what is worth grading. Browse every set Explore the full catalog of sets and cards. Sort by newest, oldest, name, or card count, and filter by series and energy type. Search any card Find a specific card by name across all sets and check its current price. Ask the card expert Chat with a built in assistant about value trends, grading advice, deck playability, and set history for any card you scan.

Your collection should do more than sit in a list. It is combo packs, box sets, Steelbooks, seasons, and shelves arranged your way. Most catalog apps flatten all of that into a list. Cinecase keeps the physical collection intact, then helps you choose what to watch from the films you actually own. Already catalogued somewhere else? Importing your collection is free. LET MOVIE NIGHT CHOOSE Open Movie Night when nobody can decide. Start with unwatched films, narrow by genre, runtime, actor, or director, and let Cinecase reveal one equal-odds pick from your shelf. Films inside a Collection stay eligible, so the box never hides what is inside. LINE UP WHAT COMES NEXT Up Next is the plan you keep between movie nights. Add films from Movie Night or a film's details, then drag them into the order you want. Every row tells you which disc to pull, down to the shelf and box set. Up Next is free; Pro adds separate queues for a marathon, the kids, or a boutique catch-up. RECORD WHAT YOU ACTUALLY OWN A Blu-ray + DVD + Digital pack is one case, not three entries. A complete series and a single season are different things, and Cinecase keeps them so. Capture what makes a copy yours: • Collector lines such as Criterion, Arrow, and Steelbook, plus your own when the list does not cover it • Spine numbers, editions, packaging, and bonus features • 4K UHD, Blu-ray, 3D, DVD, VHS, LaserDisc, and other formats • Notes, loans, ratings, and watch history ARRANGE IT THE WAY YOU WANT Drag cases into your own order, or let sorting keep things alphabetical. Browse spines like a shelf, or switch to covers. Use your own photo for free, or choose alternate artwork with Pro. Separate 4K from Blu-ray, TV from film, or the kids' shelf from the rest. Build shelves that match how you already think, and move titles between them. (Extra shelves are Pro; the main shelf is free.) GROUP WHAT BELONGS TOGETHER Build Collections for trilogies, franchises, and box sets. A Collection sits on the shelf as the single case it is, and opens to show the films inside. KEEP A WISHLIST Add the films you still want. Tap Got it when you buy one, and share the list with family. FIND ANYTHING AGAIN Search titles, actors, and directors. Combine filters for format, genre, content type, watched state, packaging, and more. A combo case turns up under every format it holds. See stats for formats, genres, decades, directors, collector lines, and duplicates. ADD RELEASES QUICKLY Scan a barcode to check a shared database built by other collectors. Not in it yet? The barcode drops into a prefilled entry you finish in seconds, and your fix helps whoever scans it next. New lookups can arrive in your language. BRING YOUR COLLECTION WITH YOU, FREE Switching from another app? Import DVD Profiler, CLZ, My Movies, Letterboxd, Libib, Blu-ray.com or CSV, free. A DVD Profiler export keeps your box sets whole instead of scattering them into loose films. Exporting is free too. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Cinecase is local-first. No account is needed for the basic shelf, and there are no ads and no third-party tracking. Export everything as JSON, CSV, XML, or a printable PDF. Optional Google Drive sync keeps the backup in your own Google account. Made by one developer you can reach from inside the app: Settings > Help > Contact support writes the report for you. Nothing is sent until you send it. Review the report before sending. FREE CORE, OPTIONAL LIFETIME PRO The core app is fully usable and free forever. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It adds: • Batch scanning for a whole stack of discs • Extra shelves, and moving titles between them • Separate Up Next queues • Alternate artwork and nine more shelf themes • Genre views by category • Google Drive sync and restore, across your devices • Duplicate cleanup for large collections Imports and exports stay in the free core, never behind Pro. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
