I don’t normally write reviews but this app warranted it. Love that all the features are free. The scanning is great when it works (95% of the time, I really only have issue with Japanese pokemon cards and only the holo ones at that)This would be a 5 star but coming from an app like Collectr it’s easy to see the short comings that you got used to. If you plan on master setting then it’s not the easiest with this app. You have to manually select the variants of each card rather than seeing them all part of one set. There’s also currently no support for Chinese sets yet but what more can you expect from a free app. There’s no pay wall to anything and as such you tolerate the lacking features. I’m hoping to see improvements as time passes and maybe this will become an old review that gets replaced by a 5 Star!All in all, I love the app and hope the features it’s missing slowly get built in
Developer Response
Thanks so much for the thoughtful review and detailed feedback. We’re glad you’re enjoying the free features and scanning overall, and we appreciate you pointing out areas like Japanese cards, set organization, and language support. This kind of input is really helpful, and we’ll share it with the team as we continue improving the app.
ITS FREE
Snowchest
Let me say this to start off with, most of these apps to scan Pokémon cards charge you after so many scans. Those apps also have a hard time scanning cards and you’re wasting your free scans just by trying to get the app to recognize the card. Not this app, this app you have your card scanned by tapping the image once the card is lined up and bam! It scans it. No fuss no issue, English and Japanese cards scan just fine but Korean or Chinese, not so much. You can add ETBs, UPCs, Booster boxes, and of course your raw cards. There is even shopping within the app, meaning if you’re looking for a product you should be able to find a listing for it within this app. There is also market data on your collection and individual cards. Now the thing I wish you could do, because you can also scan MTG cards, is categorize and create groups of cards. Because I want to keep my pokemon collection and MtG collection separate. Other than that one gripe of mine this app is flawless.
Developer Response
Thanks so much for the detailed feedback—we really appreciate it! Glad you’re enjoying the scanning and pricing features. We hear you on separating Pokémon and MTG collections—that’s a great suggestion and we’ll consider it for future updates.
Needs serious improvement
Adam44445
I heard about this app through an announcement he made on Facebook that came across my feed so I decided to give it a shot. I have already got my collection catalog in dex, and from what I have come to learn is that dex is far superior in its ease of use. I have over 20,000 cards that I need to scan and enter, but I can only scan one card variant with no discernible way that I see at least visible to me on the same screen that allows me to change the variant when I scan the card not to mention that the app crashed on me five times in the middle of scanning, and one time completely deleted an entire set after I had scanned it and had to re-scan to say that you want me to give you a five star review in an email is honestly laughable. Your app should prove itself and you should not have to send out emails saying to give five star reviews in order to maintain your review score your app should do that itself all on its own. I wish I could’ve given it a better review but I cannot in good faith give something. A five star when it can barely do the basics like not crash.
Developer Response
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re very sorry for the crashes and the issues with scanning variants. It’s clear these problems caused real frustration, especially with such a large collection. We appreciate you sharing this in detail, and we’ll use it to focus on improving stability and functionality in future updates.
Great app but limited organization
Yemkella
I love almost everything about this app. The only thing that is lacking is the ability to organize your Pokémon cards in different digital binders. I wish there was a way to make mass level decision decisions, such as deleting multiple cards really rapidly versus having to go into each individual one and deleting them one at a time. I would love to be able to match my physical collection with my digital collection so that I knew which card was in which binder. This intern could be used to track the price of each digital binder so that I knew how much each binder was worth a good example of this is maybe making a binder of cards I have no desire to keep but would like to trade out this would be an excellent way for me to know the value of the cards that I want to sell or trade for whenever I go to card shows.
Developer Response
Thanks for the review and the idea. We’re constantly improving Rare Candy and feedback like this helps shape what’s next.
