Dex - for Pokémon TCG Ratings and Reviews

Fantastic app, and some suggestions

I just downloaded this app today and logged all the cards I have stored in my binder. This app is AMAZING to log your collection, but alas without the Pokémon app’s scanner. The redeeming quality of the app here is the TCGPlayer price estimates. Seeing the range of what my collection is worth is what makes this app great. Basically, this is the TCGPlayer app I wish existed (and now it does!). As a collector this seems like a must have, as there’s Dex approaches to view your collection and even a cute medal to represent how close you are to catching them all.

If the developer reads this I have a few quick suggestions.
1.) Remove (or edit) the “set distribution stats” box on the set list stats, as I feel it doesn’t represent anything meaningful. The bar graph is a poor choice to represent the ratio between Pokémon, trainer, and energy cards.
2.) A quick “hold selection” to mark cards as owned. To mark a card as owned, the quickest method is to double tap each card individually. As someone with near 1k unique cards, this is a bit taxing. Something similar to how email apps have a hold and select function to delete emails could be implemented here to make it a bit more efficient.

BEST POKÉMON CARD APP PERIOD

There’s not another app that so much info on a single Pokémon card like this app does. I don’t like writing like writing reviews but I had to for this. I’ve searched and downloaded so many Pokémon card app that’s gonna help me organize my collection since I’m getting back into this. The only thing that it’s missing is scanning…. BUT it’s not hard to type the name and BAM the card, the picture, the set, how many cards are in that set, how much the card is worth, how much the completed set is worth…. When I mean I hate writing reviews I mean it…. YOU GUYS GOTTA FET THIS APP AND SUBSCRIBE!!! Let’s build this app community up, and hopefully in the future they put scanning in… honestly I don’t know what else I need for this app it has everything. Don’t waste your time looking around at other apps get this one, trust me your not gonna be disappointed!

A decent app so far but…

A decent app so far. Great features and updates new sets regularly. I have a few issues with it though. I noticed some Japanese sets are missing so I can’t log them. I also wish there was a feature to mark the condition of cards (maybe a color border or something) or be able to add notes or something per card. This would especially be useful since the app estimates worth but factors like condition apply. Would also be nice if bookmarking a card would be per copy and not the entire card to one folder. If I have multiple copies of one card but only one of the three should be in the folder but the app just applies the entirety(all copies/variants) of said card. Otherwise, a nice app so far though a lot of useful features are locked behind a sub or $85 payout like more than two bookmark folders and exporting your collection data…which wouldn’t be bad but other apps offer exporting your data for free. Some of the premium features this app offers others are free so it’s hard to recommend right now. To alleviate this might be maybe add tiers for the lifetime license. Not every premium feature is one I want or need but if I want any it’s $85 or nothing since I can’t sub.

Best App Out There for Your Pokémon Collection!

This app is incredible! I’ve used a couple of other apps to help catalogue my Pokémon card collection and this one is the best by far! Not only does it look clean and professional, I love the way it shows you the cards in your collection that are worth the most in each set. Very smart! And the creator is amazing. A few days ago, I had inquired on their Instagram when the latest update would be come out (because Lost Origins had not yet been added to the app) and they not only responded very quickly, but they also let me know when the update went live! As long as they continue to keep the app updated, this will be the only app I use to catalogue my Pokémon collection! Keep up the great work!

The best sorting app for large collections

This app finally puts my brain at peace when it comes to sorting my collection.
I sort my cards by Pokédex number rather than set number, so with this app it’s very easy to log what I have and also see what I’m missing for each Pokémon. The only thing I can really suggest, is to maybe separate WOTC printings such as Base Set, Base Set Shadowless, and Base Set Shadowless 1st edition, as it doesn’t properly log the market values across each printing. They all just show up as the standard Base Set market value. The same goes for other sets with 1st editions as well. Not a huge problem for me, but as someone who is looking to insure my collection at some point, I’d like to have a more accurate reading as to the value I have.

i LOVE this app

I’ve been using this app religiously for over a year i love it so much!! it takes a while to input your collection for the first time but it is so worth it bc the app gives you so much info about your collection and makes it so easy to find and keep track of cards.

A few things that would make this app better would be ways to denote how many of a card you have, different variations like holo/reverse holo, and maybe even social features to look at your friends collections!
But overall these additions are just ideas, the app performs its core functions so well that it’s already all i could ask for and any improvements would just be icing on the cake

No variations

This app is awesome but takes a huge step in the wrong direction with zero variations, and zero plans to implement them.. On Reddit it was stated this function won’t be added due to wanting the app to stay “simple-ish.” Seems like a simple addition. If you’re a casual collector this app is awesome, if you’re trying to create master sets, this really is not the app for you. If you have first edition cards and want to log them, this app is not for you. Even if the app didn’t include monetary differences with different variations I’d be happy. It seems like the wrong move to have a tracker app that can only track half your sets. So much potential, but it’s just not there yet. Edit: this was added and it’s great :)

We are planning to introduce card variants later this year.

Great app

Going through my cards I’ve collected and been given since I was 5 years old, which I’m almost 15 now, has never been THIS fun! I have a lot of pocket monster cards and I’ve never found an app or website that allows you to add you cards to your collection list online. It’s also great that they allow you to put how many copies you have of the specific cards! The only slight, and I mean very very slight, is that they only have American and Japanese. I have some German and Chinese cards also and when I emailed the makers of this they said that I should just mark them as opened for the English version until they add the foreign language. But other than that I love this app! ❤️

Works surprisingly well

Really the only issue I have is that a lot of the time the prices don’t show up which makes me refresh the app, update prices, then find the set I was looking for.

Another thing that it would make it so much better is including the unlimited sets as well because currently I can’t put in my unlimited sets so unless I’m missing something or I’m not looking hard enough I would greatly appreciate the options to include my unlimited sets.

Otherwise it’s perfect and really helps with organizing all of my cards that have been sitting around.

Thank you for your review! We are planning to introduce card variants later this year.

SO close to being PERFECT!

This app is a collector’s dream. It’s the smoothest, most cohesive, and best looking interface. I’ve tried all the collection apps out there, and I always come back to this one.

BUT. There’s one thing missing. An account and password system to be able to keep your progress amongst devices. For example: I got a new phone today, and my collection didn’t make its way over to my new device. If a system was implemented that could keep our collection saved, this app would be a 6 out of 5 stars. Devs, help us out here?
