Community Insight:
Everything in this game is good. Some of the cards disappear so plz fix that.
Even though unofficial this app is amazing barely any adds and we just completed celebrations.
We love this sim. Its nice to relax and open some packs without the money. However, Ive noticed a couple bugs with black bolt and white flare. The red Victini, which should be on par with the other monochromes for rarity, seems to have the rarity of a regular holo. And in white flare specifically, the Archen ir seems to behave like a common card. Other than that, Ive had a fabulous time.
Yall should add god packs that are rare.
Can open packs without having to watch ads or pay for them! So amazing! Highly recommend.
Game is awesome in general but at the end of every pack it asks us if we want to buy the premium subscription and we cant see the last card and its annoying we wanted to rate it 4 but when you rate 5 it gets more recegnized and read so plz fix this its really annoying but besides that really awsome game really recommend but also we do like the idea of god packs someone else had.
We have been playing this for hours and hours its so good better than pokemone TCG pocket.
We love this game with all our heart but we do have 3 recommendations, the first is a show uncollected cards button, just to know what youre going to need to finish the set, the second is and Pokemon pocket packs if that game is so popular because of its unique packs, why not add those packs to make it even better, the third is a chance for a god pack, in the older sets it could be only rares, in shiny sets only shinies, and in newer sets just a variety of ultra rares.
We love this game but only thing its missing is the binder feature on the website you can make a binder with a lot of cards but not on the mobile app if the devs see this please add the binder feature.
We love this app but the new journey together pack is bugged and says error when trying to open a pack but if you spam the button it finally works please fix we like ripping journey together on here and it makes it a little annoying but all other sets work good app.
Add what cards Im missing in each set.
Needs binders and rewards like sleeves or alternate binder art. Also needs a currency, and to fix the bug where non-V cards from the Galarian Gallery cannot be obtained without bonus.
We dont know if the creators of the app will see this but if so we just wanted you to know that we enjoy this app a lot but we would like to know if you are still working on it. We see more packs get added but we just want to make sure its still being worked on.
We love this app scratches the itch to crack packs without having to spend a ton of money. Ads are minimal and you can watch one every 4 hours for a free bonus pick of a card you dont yet have from that set. We would really like to see the ability to sort by rarity not just price or name, and also PLEASE show which cards in a pack are new.
Could you try to make a app just like this but with basketball card packs instead cause it would be cool and also add the old packs if possible but its just an idea.
Hoping a binder feature gets added soon but other than that it's a great way to get the feeling of ripping packs that are hard to find.
Add sound and animation when opening packs.
This is awesome need more updates.
We recently have been getting into Pokemon cards so this is a fun and nice way to open packs accurately with spending money.
We love this game so easy, simple and addicting. That said this app would benefit from some sort of notification when you pull a card you dont have yet. Its hard to know what cards you havent gotten yet when you pull them. Also side note, some collections like gym heros have less cards in the collection than whats stated like theres only 132 cards but says theres 138. All in all love this simple addicting card collecting app.
You should add a binder to the game to see all your cards and you can sort them in the binder.
It's a great game perfect for collectors but it doesn't shiny any light on the battling part of the card game and we think the game is fine as is but we would really like for them to add the battling part to the game.
Having the ability to trade and have a way to view your entire collection as a whole would be super sick, great game.
Speaking as a big pokemon fan, love to collect cards and this fulfilled our wish with a simulated game of card openings. All you guys really need to do is add audio and be able to see what other players got.
This game is amazing can you guys add a battle simulator.
Our crappy WiFi burning with this game.
Who doesnt love looking at different unique slots and say LETS DO EVERYONE without a care in a world we LOVE THIS GAME.
We love this app, we spend so much money on random different card games, Pokmon. Yugioh, dbz just for the thrill and our god we didnt know this many sets existed. Do you have a yugioh version.
Its a great game ive been playing it for a long time and its great notable problems though it is buggy and the mcdonalds packs are broken and so are the gym base packs broken too.
This game is so fun with so many cards to discover! We thought scarlet and violet 151 wasnt cool but it is awesome after looking at the cards thank you so much for this game.
We love the game but we dont feel a sense of achievement so it would be nice to pay for the packs and you can sell cards for packs! And to earn money for the packs off the start you can have free daily bonuses.
A great game but a few down sides theirs no trading or way to see the cards you dont have. There a website called mytcg and theres a pokedex where you can see all the cards of a certain Pokemon. We think the bonus card gives you a card you dont have but we keep getting ones we have.
Alpha skibidi rizz gyatt ohio sigma.
Just what us and our son were looking for without having to spend a fortune Only issue we just wish there were sound effects? And some way to save decks as favorites so you can easily access them instead of scrolling. Also some trade with friends would be cool.
So fun and entertaining. Gotta catch em all.
Best game ever we just completed 5 sets like barley any ads.
None of the mcdonalds packs are obtainable thru anything but random gifts. The packs say"error opening pack!" no matter what you do. If yall could fix this & maybe ad sound effects we'd have 0 complaints bc other than that, this is the perfect casual pokemon CCG w beautiful scans.
We have been looking for a game like this for a while and now we found it. We cant be happier this game is amazing and if you like Pokmon cards download this app.
Its a great app, we have had an error, or maybe a glitch with the original black & white set. We are currently at 115 which is every card in the set we believe but it says there 123 and it cant be completed. Edit: adding a card list of some sort so you know what cards youre missing would amazing.
The McDonalds Pokmon Card packs are glitched where you cannot open them up but for the most part this is a very good game.
Pls add new obsidian flames set.
Its a really great game we love that we can open infinite pokemon packs for free and every set but something we would like is that when you finish a set that there is an option to see all time collection to see all the cards.
We have collected almost every card from every set 10/10 cant wait for the new scarlet and violet sets to be added!!! :).
We got the rarest card in Lost Origin the Giratina V alt art.
We wish we could sort cards by rarity rather than price, even though they usually correlate directly. Otherwise we have no complaints. Very nice app.
Would you think of doing a Yu gi oh pack sun like this.
The app is great. Love the look and feel. UI is very intuitive. Only feedback we have is if you can add a counter of how many packs were opened to show us how many packs it took to complete a set. Yes we know the bonus pack is just one card but if you just add two counters including regular packs and bonus packs somewhere in the UI.
A new pop up should appear on a card you havent collected it would be the best change.
This is definitely the best unofficial card collection app yet. The pack sets are updated very quickly with the newest sets pretty much guaranteed to be there within the week of actual release. We love that theres no limit to how many packs you can open and we love the relative accuracy of the rates. We could recommend adding a pack opening animation to make it even more immersive and fix the bug making Machamp unable to be obtain through packs on the Base Set (only obtainable through bonus card). Other than that, this app is insanely awesome.
We love the game its good and fun but there is are two errors in the Gym Heroes and Gym Challenges packs there are 132 cards in each but they say 138 on them.
