A much better card scanner
Scan a binder page or a single card and Holo Folder now suggests the card for you, full arts and alt arts included, with photo uploads, zoom and a light.
Scanning used to leave most of the work to you. Full arts, alt arts and cards behind a glossy sleeve rarely came back with a match, so you picked nearly every card by hand. The scanner now recognises far more cards from the photo, so a page scan comes back mostly filled in and a single scan at a show gets you to the price faster.
Scan a whole binder page
Open your binder, tap the Storage menu and choose Scan page. Take a photo of the page, or choose one you already have. Holo Folder finds every pocket and suggests the card in each one.
When the scanner is confident, the card is already chosen and marked Matched from photo. When it isn’t sure, the closest cards appear under Which card is this? so you can tap the right one, or use Choose card to search. Nothing is added to your binder until you press Add.
We tried it on a page of chase cards. Giratina V, the Prismatic Evolutions Umbreon ex and the 151 Charizard ex were matched straight away. Moonbreon, the Rayquaza VMAX alt art and Sylveon ex were the first suggestion in their pockets, and Lugia V was second. Espeon ex and the Surging Sparks Pikachu ex took a quick search with Choose card.
Fix a pocket that holds the wrong card
If the photo shows a different card from the one your binder has in that pocket, the review tells you and offers Replace it. If the scan got it wrong, choose Keep current card. Pockets that match still say Already in your binder.
Scan a single card at a show
In Show mode, open Quick mode and tap Scan. Point your camera at the card, or tap Photo to use a picture from your camera roll. The closest cards appear under Looks like. Tap the right one to open the deal checker with its market price and the most you should pay.
Photo works in the card picker’s scanner too, which helps when the camera is blocked or the card is already on your phone.
Better photos, fewer retakes
The page scanner’s camera now fills the screen, so a 3 by 3 page is easier to line up.
Zoom and light controls appear on phones that support them, which helps with glossy sleeves in a dim hall.
Slightly soft or blurry page photos are much more likely to work.
On weak Wi-Fi, a page scan no longer hangs. Pockets it can’t read in time are left for you to choose.
Scan without a connection
Scanning uses your connection by default. To scan offline, turn on Download scanner for offline in Settings, or in Show mode’s offline prep before you head to a show. It’s a one-off download, so it’s best done on Wi-Fi.
Developers can send a card photo to the API or MCP and get the closest cards back.
