Contact Pokémon TCG Card Dex Support

This app seems like a great idea. I love being able to scan my cards and seeing which ones I still need to complete my set collection. I even like the feature where it tells you from which set the card belongs to, making it a lot easier to determine which set the card came from. Some cards are extremely difficult to scan though, like my BREAK cards for example. The biggest negative I would have for this app would be that when you scan the card, it doesn’t identify it as a holo or reverse holo if it is one. Which means this app is somewhat useless for me. My ultimate goal is to complete both the holo and non holo set of every series that I begin (if applicable), which means that this app won’t be able to tell me if I have both or need one version or another of my collection. I would be thrilled if a later update of this adds that feature in. In the meantime I have made my own spreadsheet to determine which version of each card it is that I have.

If this app had more sets it may be worth your time but as it is right now it’s not. The camera was responsive once I put the cards on a dark brown surface and could recognize the correct card every time.
With only carrying sets from as far back as xy this isn’t exactly a great resource right now.
In the future I imagine if it had a minimum of all American and Japanese main series sets it would be worth purchasing for around 3 dollars as a nifty catalog. They could potentially take this further by including promos, jumbo cards, and possibly coins and other accessories.
If this was a true catalog of all official Pokémon paraphernalia I’d pay up to 20 bucks for it.
The two hurdles I imagine they would have would be trying to recognize damaged cards, differentiate missprints, spot fake cards and products, and fit all of that content onto a phone app.
Personally I don’t think fake cards should ever be intended to spot out, that would just create future confusion which should just be judged by the owner not the ai, and as for fitting this on an app they could do something similar to apps like love nikki, who has several thousands of individual items to collect but they are on a cloud at first. It runs slower of the phone side but you can choose to download the database if you have space to prevent loading.
Anyways, not worth getting right now but could be a game changer in coming updates.

I’ve been collecting Pokémon cards since 2017. I downloaded this app because I thought it was going to have everything. When I downloaded it at the time, it was just Sun & Moon. But they’ve added support for X&Y and of course Sword & Shield. I used Pokéllector to track my cards before and now I still have to keep it on standby because this app only includes everything X&Y and above and nothing else. They do have the promos but they never seem to update them. There’s also some gaps in the Sun & Moon promo lists. So it’s incomplete.

Not to mention bugs and glitches are very common. Stuff like removing your tracking info, and recently, the app thinks that the Sword & Shield promos are no apart of Detective Pikachu and you must scan them to unlock them. If you do though, you get an exclusive art piece, which is just a white box with the detective pikachu logo on it.

So if your a collector, especially one that’s been collecting for a long time. Just get Pokéllector and stay away from this app.
