It files every card under the illustrator who drew it. Open an artist and you get their whole body of work — over 400 illustrators and more than 21,000 cards — with a progress ring for how much of it you own and a report of what is still missing.
No. PokeArtist never uses the camera. You mark cards owned with a tap. If you want scanning, that is what Riplist is for.
Browsing, search, marking cards owned, the wishlist, market prices, price history and backups — all free, with no limit on how many cards you track and no ads.
The Completion Report — the total cost to finish an artist and the missing cards ordered cheapest first — plus the Day Gallery light theme and three additional accent finishes. Two price levels are offered and both unlock exactly the same thing; the higher one exists only for people who want to give more.
Open Settings, tap the Patron panel, then "Restore Purchase". Make sure you are signed in with the same Apple Account you bought it on. Since there is no user account, this is the only way to move a purchase to a new device — so if it does not work, email us before buying again.
Market data from third-party sources, refreshed regularly. Prices are informational only. Where there is no reliable price for a card, PokeArtist shows a dash rather than inventing a figure — and an unpriced card is still counted in the artist's total, with the number of unpriced cards stated alongside it.
About 3% of cards have never been photographed by any public source — trainer kits, some promos, and cards from sets that are brand new. Those cards are never hidden. They appear as a typographic placard carrying the name, set and number, because we know everything about them except what they look like.
Because no source records one. Attribution is cross-checked against more than one public database and filled in by hand where they disagree, but a few hundred cards still have no credit anywhere. Rather than guess, the app says so. If you know the artist for a card, tell us and it will go into a catalog update.
The card catalog downloads separately from the app, so new sets appear without waiting for an App Store update. Card art sometimes lags behind, because the public sources photograph new sets over the weeks after release.
Mostly. Your collection, the catalog and any card images you have already seen work with no connection. Live prices and card art you have not loaded before need internet.
Settings → "Back up collection" writes a single file you can save to Files or iCloud Drive and restore on any device. There is a spreadsheet export alongside it if you would rather keep your own copy. Both are free. Because there is no account and no cloud sync, this file is your only copy — please make one.
Not yet. Everything is on-device today; moving to a new phone means exporting a backup and restoring it. Sync is on the list, but see the terms — nothing about future features is guaranteed.
Settings → "Delete all data" erases your collection, your wishlist and every local backup the app made. Deleting the app does the same. Neither can be undone.
