Today we’re thrilled to share that all of Rare Candy’s scanner, collector tools and social features are now natively available for Android users in our new Rare Candy Android app, available now for free download in the Google Play Store

Here’s an overview of everything you’ll find:

Scan and Tally Your Cards

Our lightning-fast card scanner uses AI technology to quickly and accurate any card. We currently support Pokémon and Lorcana, with more games to come in the months ahead. You can cards in English and Japanese — and if you scan a graded card, we automatically pull in data about your grading company and grade so it’s reflected correctly in your collection. Once you’ve scanned a card, you can easily rotate through variants, see its realtime value data and add it to your collection or want list. 

When you scan cards using the Rare Candy card scanner, you’ll also see a running tally of the cards’ value in the top right of your Recent Scans. Whether you’re trying to see if you broke-even on a booster pack or you’re working out the specifics of a trade, Tally makes it super simple to see the combined value for multiple cards at once.

Card Scanner, Profile, Set Tracking, Social Feed

Build Your Profile and Master Sets

Expressive profiles let you keep track of your whole collection and show off your favorite cards. You can easily filter, sort and arrange your collection so your profile looks exactly how you want. Profiles also feature a search bar that lets you jump directly to any card without the need to scroll.

The Sets tab on your profile helps you track your progress towards your collecting goals. When you choose to track a set, Rare Candy analyzes your collection to see which cards you have and begins automatically keeping track of your progress, so you can quickly and clearly see what you own and what you’re still missing. Each set that you track will appear in your profile tab with a completion percentage, letting you and others see how close you are to your collecting goals.

Connect and Share in Feed

Collecting is a deeply personal hobby, but it also becomes so much more fun when you can share it with friends and others who share your passion. Our social features help you connect with a fun, supportive community of fans and collectors at every stage of your TCG journey. 

You can participate in exciting weekly challenges and share your favorite moments with friends and a worldwide community of collectors and in the community feed. And when you need a little inspiration, explore posts from top and emerging collector-creators like Leonhart, PokiLegends, PokeDubzz, DarthValdo, DeepPocketMonster, Austin Evans, ProfessorFelicia, Stieven and more!
