About this app

First Cards helps children aged about 6 to 11 get to know their Pokémon cards, sort their collections and plan swaps with friends they know in real life.

Scan a card
Hold a card up to the camera and tap. First Cards reads the number in the corner and finds the exact card, out of more than 21,000 Pokémon Trading Card Game cards. The photo is read on the phone and is never saved or uploaded. No camera? Just type the name or number.

Learn what it means
Tap any part of a card, from HP and attacks to Weakness and rarity, for a short, friendly explanation written for young readers. Children also learn what each type is good at, and what it's weak to.

Collections that sort themselves
First Cards counts every card, keeps plain, reverse holo, holo and 1st edition cards apart, and spots the spares that are ready to trade. Brothers and sisters get their own collections on the same phone.

Plan swaps with real friends
Friends connect with a six-digit code shared face to face, at school or at the park. First Cards shows which spares they could swap. Codes stop working after 12 hours.

First Cards works in fifteen languages, with cards in French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese too.
