Community Insight:
Its amazing, but we checked PriceCharting and some of our cards are cheaper on PriceCharting so idk if its accurate.
We wish it kept track for us but thats wishful thinking we guess.
Are prices going to be updated anytime soon.
We love the app but it wont scan half our cards and especially the Japanese cards we have jus we wont go through, its a great app but needs a significant increase in its database and the scanner may need a upgrade.
We have always wondered what our collection was worth and this app helps us finally know it. The app scans the card in about 0.5 seconds. Developers, if you read this, just to let you know there is currently a bug that crashes the app when you go on notifications.
Good app not all the prises are acurate 3 stars.
It was great, but then the scanner stopped working for a bit, but where it lacked for the scanner, it had it for searching, it was easy to search for your card and it was most likely the top result and when the scanner was working, it scanned in the blink of an eye.. LITERALLY.
When we scan to add to our collection sometimes when we press foil the price goes down and we dont know if it refers to holo or reverse holo.
We like the app overall, it is very useful and generally easy to use, but there is currently a glitch that crashes the app every time we open the inventory tab.
Hello dear developer, your application is all simply incredible, the detection of the cards is fast the ads are neither too aggressive just quite pretent. We want to thank you for creating this application and for that what better than to give you lines of improvement. 1.take into account the graded Pokmon cards (this could manifest itself as a button next to the foil button) 2.a more regular update of the database so that the new collection is added on the day see a little before. 3. Be able to see the value of our Pokmon card in euros. 4. Add the French language. 5. See the overall value of our friends' Pokmon cards.6. Put widgets to see the evolution of the market of our Pokmon cards. 7. Adjust the value of Pokmon cards according to their language. We think it's a good list. You have the hello from France.
Very good app but one problem. The full art cards don scan very well with the scanner making it take so much time to individually type in each card.
The top review from two years ago is exactly how we felt about this app, until they decided to put up a pay wall to scan more than just a handful of cards. We deleted it. Not everything needs to be a money-hungry monthly subscription.
We used to have this app before and from what we remember it was very great and got all our cards scanned correctly, but now it somehow mistook our Sylveon ex for a tatsugiri? Theyre not even close at all, and it even messed up our Alt Art espeon as a trainer card somehow.
We dont know how to use the dragon dust but we really like the app if you could just tell us how to use it but we love the app it gets us organized with our binder we appreciate that this app is free and it works decently.
Good but what we dont understand is that the new promo Cards never have prices.
If you are reading this developers then you should add this. So we like to scan cards but we wish you can add something like this. Can you please add a battle people. So can you please add this.
We do wish we could do card that had the Pokmon coming out other wise it scans RELLY fast we love it.
So awhile ago we used to use this app and it was decently accurate and worked great that was all until we came back a year later and this app wouldnt let us use it without an account now we cant get the price or anything now. So this turned from a 5 star app to a 2 star app.
App is interesting so far. However it cant seem to scan Japanese cards, as we mostly collected those cards since we wasnt that into the game itself. Can you please update it so it can scan foreign language cards and see the English translation please.
This is a great app! Very easy to use and the scanner is VERY quick and, usually, accurate. Ive had a few times where we gave up on the scanner and had to manually find and enter a card into our collection. What we dont like is some cards showing the Japaneses versions in our collection when we scanned in the English version. This is confusing as we have a very small Japanese collection too. We also very much hate the inability to select holofoil and reverse holofoil. This defeats some of the use of using this app to remind ourselves of what we have as we will collect the same card in all three variants if they are available. PLEASE add this feature.
This website can scan any Pokmon card unless theyre in a case. Its a bit harder, but we just cant scan surfing Pikachu.
Ok so we started and it scanned four cards we dont have and one it scanned a card we actually have IT SAID we HAD TO GET A ACCOUNT LITERALLY FIVE SECONDS AFTER we OPENED IT and its lucky we even gave it TWO STARS DUE TO THAT and we had our Type: Null right in front of it AND IT COULDNT READ IT WHAT IS THE DEAL WHITH THIS SCANER GAME.
We got the app and scanned the full art hits that we had gotten, said one was around a dollar when it was 2 bucks, scanned our rainbow trainer and it says it was 3 bucks when its around 8-10.
The stuff we will claim worthy of fixing is probably really hard to fix, we should know, Ive tried to make apps like this before. But some cards Ive scanned appear just a little different, for example: a card we scanned showed up as first edition, and we had the non first edition card, their was no way to change it. Sometimes cards dont have prices to, we would like to know if thats because you cant find a price for it or something else? Which leads us to our final question, how do you determine the price of the cards.
Im so confuse us and our brother did the directions but it didnt work so yeah its a cool design its just confusing.
So far we enjoyed this app a lot so easy to check our prices and value our cards and we love the app and how easy it is to find cards. But one question im kinda confused on how to sell cards please help.
We have a large collection but we really need something that has a way to denote reverse holos as well as auto stacks cards even if we scan them in at different times. Otherwise we love the app, it makes buying and trading easy since we can access it on our phone.
Good app and it is very helpful but why does it say no price on all of our japenese cards when we try to scan them.
We get you want people to see your subscription but you aint got to put it in our face every 10 seconds while Im scanning cards.
After like 2 cards it stops working.
Best app pokemon scanner. Thats that. Obviously 5 star if not 10 star.
It gave us an inaccurate estimate. Of a V star Lucario!!!! Give us a Gouda for a quaxly sorry if we spelled Gouda incorrectly but we find this kind of ridiculous we were in a rush writing it so we dont have much else to say also the price of the estimate of the V star Lucario was 0.99 we found that kind of ridiculous.(that is its a V star for goodness sake!!!!!).
So Ive been using this for about a year and now its only letting us scan 5 per day?? We have almost a whole stack of cards we need to scan TODAY so if yall dont remove this we might stop using this app.
Ive spent a long time using this app and its great! Scanning cards hasnt been easier! We do have only two complaints though. The scanner has trouble reading cards from the Evolution sets so we have to type in the details which we dont mind. But the main thing is that we would like to sell our bulk cards and we cant find a feature to bulk sell cards on the app. If there is please let us know. Overall, Great app and if your a Pokemon card fanatic like us youll love this app.
This app is amazing! You can scan IF you have good lighting. So one thing that needs fix is whenever we scan a card it brings up a different card sometimes like a scanned a charizard and it came up an unknown! But thats just doing its job. LISTEN!!!!!!!! You guys need to add different languages for the cards because some languages change the prices on cards. You should also add a bar where u just enter the Pokmons Pokdex number! Other than that its amazing.
App is not showing any cards since update.
Thats what we said add more cards.
Im a collector for Pokmon and this app is amazing we can look at the different prices and scan any card its amazing we recommend this to any card collector out there developers please keep making this app amazing.
When we try to scan our cards in our inventory it gets deleted after like 10 scans fix it NOW.
We checked cards in our folder and most of them, in stead of having a price they just said N/A.
Its OK,it scans the cards pretty fast but is always asking us to sign in.But when we do it tells us our account isnt real so. BRUH.
Doesnt even have prices on any of the Japanese cards and the prices have gotten less and less accurate as time goes on. Used to be great.
It's good because it can tell you how much them cost and you have to put the set to know how much they cost also it's also scans FAST it's amazing but we wish it would know if it's a shiny.
It does lag and can take a bit to scan but its a really nice app and Im able to scan most of our cards.
We love that you can scan as many cards as you like for free and that premium is free and this is a really great app for Pokmon cards But we really think there should be a way to sell your cards on the app. Its really obnoxious that you can buy them, but not sell them.
We love the app and how we can scan pretty much any card in our collection in seconds to see its value, but theres just one problem – often, it just wont scan. At all. Or itll think its a different card than what it is. Some of our cards (like Celebrations Rockets Zapdos) just arent in the database. (if you were saying oh well they have the non-Celebrations version no they dont. It doesnt exist, not even when scanning. Maybe incorporate ai and train it on images of cards? We wouldnt mind paying for Premium if it had a better scanner.
It was this and another app by the same creators it just shows like our camera is blocked into a black screen although we authorised the app to have camera access any help.
So we only made this five stars so it would be read. SO WHO THE HECK DID THIS?!? So we were scanning some binder cards and then.. It said to put in our stuff to sign up so we could keep scanning. Then we put it on sign up NOT login and it asked for the password even though we hit sign up and had not made our password GET THIS OUT OF MY FACE Im switching to different app.
This app is very easy to use, it can scan a card in a number of seconds and can give you exact prices in different scenarios (lowest and market prices).
Just a awesome, amazing, incredible, and spectacular app.
