Dex - for Pokémon TCG 4+

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.

This app is a great concept and I love the interface and navigation. You can track each pokemon you own as well as which card(s) you have. My complaints however come from the subscription. The card scanner is awful, compared to other apps that include scanners for FREE, this apps card scanner feels like a beta version. And aside from that there is almost nothing else worth paying for with the $4 subscription, especially if the most convenient feature of all barely works. The "achievements" they provide in the app (subscription required) seems like a feature added just to make the subscription seem more valuable than it actually is. Dont get me wrong I like the idea, but there are only 60 achievements to collect and over 1000 Pokemon. Most people using this app alone could probably think of at least 100 achievements that could be added. And that wouldnt be a complaint if it wasnt behind a paywall. With the subscription you can also make more than 3 folders in a separate thing unrelated to the dex, personally I think is useless anyways, but making it cost money is another thing other apps dont do. Its a cool app, and an app I will continue to use, but I will not be paying the subscription because its a waste of money. -1 star for the scanner being bad, -1 star for making me pay for a half baked premium for a month.

I know Collectr adds real-time analytics and more options for collectors. However, if you’re dealing in Pokémon specifically this app beats it out 100% the whole way through. Organization, user interface, and utility all keep this feeling lighter and somehow more fluid in its use. It’s odd given how sophisticated Collectr looks and feels but this app is just so much more easy to use and less.l cluttered. The upgraded version of this app is also worth it, as you are essentially investing in the apps continued development. The creator of this app could have sold it 100 times over by now, but he didn’t. He keeps doing what he is doing for the sake of the hobby instead of wealth. Collecting something other than Pokémon? Obviously go someplace else. Collecting just Pokémon or want an app specific for collecting Pokémon, stop here and check it out. Won’t regret it. I’ve used it since the beginning and I won’t be going anywhere else.
