Launch Day 🚀

I released Trace TCG this week, my Pokemon card scanning, collecting and pricing app, I'd really appreciate some feedback from the community. It started as a small side project for card scanning and indexing I built to help my son and I track our collection...then I just kept going!

I've been an iOS developer for 18 years, this is the first side project I've ever felt strongly enough about to finish. A little about the app:

Free to browse sets and scan cards in what I think is a pretty great UX
A free account allows you to create a collection, scan up to 100 cards, view pricing and trends
A paid account lets you scan unlimited cards, create unlimited collections, view variant pricing, import/export cards and more

I'm working on a lot more, next release will include Japanese cards.

Trace TCG - Collect, track and scan your Pokemon card collection

Point your camera at a Pokémon card. In seconds, Trace tells you exactly what it is - and exactly what it's worth. Whether you're sorting a shoebox collection you haven't touched in years, checking a card mid-trade, or celebrating a fresh pull from a new pack, Trace gives you instant answers with live prices straight from the TCG market.
