Poke Album – Game Review
Poke Album is a game from Alexander Demurov, first launched in 18th October 2019.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 29+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Poke Album Stand Out
Poke Album helps you organize and manage your collection of the Pokemon Go gift postcards. Just take a screenshot and let Poke Album do the rest.
While collecting Pokemon Go gifts is as easy as taking a screenshot, Photo Library is not the best place to keep track of hundreds of gift cards. With Poke Album you can build your collection in a whole new way, with easy browse, search, World Map view mode and statistics!
HOW IT WORKS
• Take one or more screenshots of your new Pokemon Go gift cards before opening them
• Launch Poke Album and let it automatically import the card pictures into your collection
• Poke Album uses image recognition to extract title, location, and the sender friend’s name directly from the screenshot
KEY FEATURES
• Automatically (or manually) import gift cards from your Photo Library
• Attach additional pictures and view the original screenshots even after they are deleted from your Photo Library
• View and filter list of friends and countries you received the gifts from
• Organize your gifts with custom tags, like ‘graffiti’, ‘fountains’, ‘libraries’ or anything else
• View your gifts on the World's Map and find out which gift is the farthest one from your current location
• Use iCloud to backup* and restore your album, or sync it between multiple devices
• Free up the device's storage and declutter your Photo Library by deleting already imported screenshots, which are now stored in the Poke Album app
PRO FEATURES PACK
You can use Poke Album completely free, or you can get Pro Features pack with awesome features like automatic import of screenshots, the World's Map with your gifts, standard and custom collections, and secure iCloud backup of the album.

Community Insight:
Little frustrating that it doesnt automatically import cards that have the new stickers on them. Any chance we could get it updated to use them? Still can manually put in the information though.
We absolutely loved this app and recommended it to everyone before in-game postcard collection was a thing. We would still recommend it, with one big caution: like everyone is saying, we would LOVE to be able for it to scan already-pinned postcards. Please. :D.
As mentioned in the previous review scanning of postcards already in collection is a must. Still is worth using to save postcards and is the best app for this. Minor improvements should include: Alphabetical list of friends – should not have lower case and capital letters as separate. A and a should go together. Try to remove reading sticker text on scan. When scanning collected postcards (not gifts) sometimes it misses the last letter. Needs scan field enlarged? Sometimes, when scanning collected postcards (not gifts) if you scan the card twice it will add both if the dates and time scanned are different. Again with scanning collected postcards scan does not read location latitude and longitude. *** Still this app is a must for Pokmon go postcard collectors.
Pls change the sorting function so that capitalized letters are sorted the same as non-capitalized letters. Right now, the apps sort sorts A to Z then a to z. Also, please enable sorting for all sub-levels to make it easier to find of duplicate cards.
We got this app so we could sort and enjoy our postcards. We have nearly 600 postcards already in our scrapbook album in the game (so theyre from gifts that we have previously opened). This app has no way to add the previously collected postcards except for a very tedious manual process that we would have to do individually for all 600 cards. Since Ive been collecting a specific theme of cards from around the world since the game started in 2016, an app to organize them is absolutely useless to us if we cant incorporate the collection we already have. Very VERY disappointed.
The app needs improvement with OCR. Also it crashes every time we try to back it up, whether to cloud or local. Great concept, needs some improvements.
We downloaded this because we maxed out our postcard storage but didn't want to delete our old cards to pin new ones. It works great for unopened gift postcards, granted the OCR tech needs a little correction now and then, but we would really like it to have a more streamlined process to scan cards that we already opened and pinned. Currently we're working on screenshotting and manually importing our pinned cards, and since it doesn't automatically recognize them as gift postcards we have to override it and force it to scan anyway and fill in the date and friend name data ourselves, which takes a lot of work but we can rest easy knowing our collection is getting backed up. We know its hard work to develop another scanning algorithm for a different layout, but this would be an awesome quality of life addition! We also found the Getting Started and FAQ pages lacking, like we still don't really understand why some of our cards have a little blue dot or why some of their titles are green and some are yellow. A tutorial walkthrough of all the features would be helpful. Awesome app, have already recommended it to our PoGo friends :).
This is great! But can we please get the US states separated too into a list not just countries.
Ive been using this app for a couple years and love it. We wish we could have it set to auto delete screenshots on import and that the import of new stickers wasnt so problematic but its still an app we wouldnt want to be without. Thank you.
Used to be amazing, now it cant finish scanning screenshots without the app crashing and not completing the scan. Nothing fixes, not even deleting and re-installing. Hopefully next update will fix and we can change review. Otherwise great product. – This issue has been fixed and having given the app several loads has not been found again. True to our word the review is 5 stars as the app deserves. Super convenient and a great product.
This app boots us out every time we try to manually put in a postcard. We tried to reach support with no help.
We really love this app and we have soooo much fun with it!! Theres one bug that is super frustrating, which is that the name of the postcard will often have random letters or symbols in front of it when the postcard is added. We think this is specifically an issue with postcards that have stickers. Things we hope they add in the future: – we wish there was a way to scan screenshots of postcards that were pinned in the Pokmon Go app. Id really love to import all of the cool postcards we received before hearing about this app on Reddit. – we also wish there was a way to sort postcards sent by a single trainer. We have a lot of accidental duplicate postcards (sent on different days) that we dont want. If we could sort the postcards alphabetically Id be able to properly clean up our albums. Otherwise great! If youre reading this review get the app, but be warned its addictive. ;).
If you input the coordinates that most postcards are automatically assigned into Google Earth, you will find that many of the locations are incorrect. We usually then try our best to find the correct location coordinates so our gift map will be more accurate. However, there are many postcards where we are unable to pinpoint their correct location. There is a small bug where clearing the location to empty and saving will not actually save the new empty location. We had to input a period in order for the app to recognize that we wanted a null location. Postcards screenshotted from the in-game Postcard Book are NOT currently recognized. Trying to scan them in anyway will cause the postcard image to rotate 90 degrees. It would be helpful if there was some way to note what sticker each entry had. We collect sticker variations of the postcard locations as well. At the moment, Im currently using a tag for the stickers, but it would be really great if there was a better way to implement this information. (Perhaps have a way to allow users to make their own collections?) There is a sort option in the Album and Friends tab, but there is no sort option after clicking on one of your friends in the friend tab. What if we want to see all of Friend As postcards chronologically? Or Alphabetically? Improvement suggestions aside, Im really enjoying the app! Our previous postcard collection method didnt include a map, so its really nice to see all our collected postcards pinpointed on the map. The map alone makes the Pro version worth it.
Seems like a great app to have if it worked on the cards youve saved to your in app album. We hope this is fixed.
Works really well, fun to see where all the different gifts come from. Very unique app.
but it hasnt worked since April 18 for us.
Still trying it out and its really cool. Does everything that it advertises well. Very nice and clean. One suggestion with the advent of remote raiding we take screenshots of the remote raid invites (the orange bar that shows the Gym pic and gives location data). It would be cool if the app could read those as well and give them the same treatment. Heck we would pony up another 2.99 for it.
The stickers mess up the import which is kind of the whole reason for paying the IAP, please update the app if possible! Otherwise, great app and works well. Its fun to see all the gifts collected from around the world.
After several weeks of loving this, saving cards from all over the world, and wishing it worked with stickers, Ive pretty much given up. The app, with all of those saved cards, no longer works. It crashes on startup every time. We havent deleted it because optimistic us keeps hoping it will get fixed, and we hate to reload and lose all those great images (not to mention the time we spent saving them). But it isnt looking good.
