Roadmap

This page says what we are building next, in what order. It does not say when.

We are one developer. Anything with a date on it would be a guess dressed up as a promise, and the whole point of this app is not doing that. So: order only, no dates. This page changes when the order changes, and the changelog at the bottom records every change we have made to it.

In the app at launch

Next

1 · Magic: The Gathering. The second game. The card identification and the market price stay visible on the free tier for Magic exactly as they do for Pokémon — that is a condition of the data source we use, and it is also what we would have done anyway.

2 · One Piece Card Game.

3 · Yu-Gi-Oh!

4 · Disney Lorcana.

That order is not arbitrary and it is not a popularity contest. It is measured demand: of everyone searching for a card scanner by game name, the great majority are looking for Pokémon, and Magic is the next-largest gap by a wide margin. We would rather do four games properly, one at a time, than five badly at once. Each game ships only when its recognition holds up on real cards in real conditions — the same bar Pokémon had to clear.

Also next, in the app you already have

These are collection features, and they arrive independently of the game order:

Things we are not going to build

This half of the roadmap matters as much as the other half, so it is written down where you can hold us to it.

What would change this page

New sets and new games, obviously. Beyond that: what people tell us in the app and in reviews, and what the scanner is measurably good at. If a game’s recognition doesn’t clear the bar, it waits — and this page says so rather than sitting on a promise. If we change the order, we change it here and note it below.
