Frequently asked

Grab it from the App Store on iPhone or iPad — search "Slably" or use the direct link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/slably-tcg-collector/id6777917958.

Yes — the app is free to download and the core features (scanning, catalog search, wishlist, daily prices) are free forever. Slably PRO is an optional upgrade for binders, graded card capture, the web companion, and advanced analytics.

Yes, a quick account keeps your collection safe and syncs it across devices. You can sign up with email + password or use Sign in with Apple.

You'll create an account, pick a display name, and land on the scan screen. Start scanning or search the catalog manually. Binders unlock with Slably PRO.

iPhone and iPad running a recent version of iOS/iPadOS. Android and web are on the roadmap — no dates yet.

Settings → Appearance → Dark. There's also a system-matching option that follows your iOS theme.

Tap the scan button in the app, point your camera at the card, and hold steady until Slably identifies it. Review the match, then add it to a binder.

No — Slably identifies cards through penny sleeves, toploaders, and graded slabs. Better lighting helps if the sleeve is very glossy.

Yes. Slably identifies the card through the slab. Logging the grade + grader (which unlocks with Slably PRO) lets you keep the graded version as a separate entry from the raw copy.

- Move to brighter, more even lighting (avoid direct overhead glare). - Hold the card steady and centered in the frame. - If the card is in a very glossy sleeve, try scanning without it once. - Turn off the flash if it's washing out the image. - If it still misses, tap "Search instead" and add it manually.

On the confirmation screen, tap "Not this card?" and search for the correct one. Adding it manually stores the right entry — the next similar scan will get better over time.

Pokémon TCG at launch — English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese sets are indexed. More sets are added regularly.

Not yet — bulk multi-card scanning is coming. For now, one card per scan.

Tap the search icon and start typing. You can search by card name, set number, or rarity — Slably matches partial input, so "sylv 156" finds Sylveon #156.

Yes — filter by set from the search screen. Sets are grouped by language (English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese).

English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese sets are indexed in-app.

Type `human` in Discord support and let us know the set + card number — we add missing entries as they're reported.

New sets get added on an ongoing basis, prioritized by release date and community requests. Slably PRO subscribers get early access to newly indexed catalogs.

Not right now for public catalog entries — but if it's missing, let us know and we'll get it added. Custom promo card support is on the roadmap.

A binder is a collection of cards you own or track. Slably PRO subscribers can create as many as they want to organize their collection however they like.

Binders are a Slably PRO feature. The free tier includes scanning, catalog search, wishlist, and daily prices — subscribe to PRO to organize what you own into unlimited binders.

From the Binders tab (visible with Slably PRO), tap the `+` and give it a name (e.g. "Base Set Master Set" or "Trade Binder"). Then start adding cards.

Yes — however you want. Binders are just containers, so use them for sets, eras, character focus, trade piles, sold pile, whatever fits your collecting.

Open the card, tap the binder field, and pick a new binder. That moves the ownership entry over.

Yes — from a binder you can generate a public share link. The recipient sees the cards, prices, and set breakdown but can't modify anything.

Binders are private by default. You only expose them when you generate a share link.

No limit — as many as you want.

No — those stay with the card entry. Only the binder it belongs to changes.

Your binders and all the cards in them are preserved. Read access continues; creating new binders or editing existing ones pauses until you re-subscribe.

Yes. You can log graded copies alongside raw copies of the same card as separate entries.

PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, and TAG.

Scan or search for the card, then on the card detail screen tap the grade field and pick the grader + grade level (e.g. PSA 10, BGS 9.5, CGC 9). Graded card capture is a Slably PRO feature.

Free tier lets you own the card, but the grader + grade level fields unlock with Slably PRO. Once you upgrade, the fields become editable on every graded card entry.

Yes — graded copies pull their own market price, so a raw XY Evolutions Charizard and a PSA 10 XY Evolutions Charizard are priced independently.

Right now the four majors (PSA/BGS/CGC/SGC) plus TAG are supported. If you use a different grader let us know via support and we'll evaluate adding it.

Cert-number tracking is on the roadmap. For now, you can note the cert in the card's notes field.

Market prices come from TCGplayer and eBay sold listings. Both are aggregated to give you a fair snapshot of what a card is trading for.

Prices refresh daily.

Yes — graded copies (PSA 10, BGS 9.5, etc.) pull their own pricing separate from the raw version of the same card.

Yes. Each card shows a price history chart. Free tier gets recent history; Slably PRO unlocks the full MAX range for every card.

Prices update on a schedule, so intraday moves lag. If a card just spiked, it may take up to a day to reflect.

USD at launch. Multi-currency is on the roadmap.

It shows aggregated market price across your cards — a middle estimate. Actual sell/buy prices depend on the buyer, condition, and platform fees.

Cards you're hunting but don't own yet. You can watch their market price and get a quick reminder of what you're after.

Search for or scan the card, open the detail screen, and tap the wishlist icon.

Open the card and tap the wishlist icon again — it toggles off. Or swipe on the wishlist list view.

One wishlist per account right now. Multiple named wishlists are on the roadmap.

No hard limit. The wishlist is free on both tiers.

Sharing your wishlist as a link is on the roadmap. For now the wishlist stays private.

CSV export is on the roadmap and rolling out. Your data is always yours — if you need to export today, reach out via `human` and we'll get you a copy manually.

No committed date yet. It's actively being built and will land in a coming update. Slably PRO subscribers will get early access.

Card name, set, set number, rarity, condition, grade (if graded), grader, purchase price (if set), current market price, binder, and the date you added it.

Not automatic yet. If you have a Collectr CSV export, email it to kolton@vandergriffventures.com — we'll seed your account manually during this beta window.

Yes, wishlist export will be a separate CSV — same rollout.

Yes — request it via `human` and we'll send a copy. Automatic self-serve is coming.

An optional subscription that unlocks binders, graded card capture, the web companion, and advanced analytics for serious collectors. Everything you need to start (scanning, catalog search, wishlist, daily prices) stays free.

- **Unlimited binders** — organize by set, era, value, trade pile, sold pile, however you collect - **Public binder share links** - **Graded card capture** — log PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, and TAG graded cards with grader + grade level - **MAX chart range** — full price history on every card and your binder - **PRO badge** on your profile - **Advanced analytics** (rolling out) — set completion %, ROI signals, market trends - **Web companion** — sign in on slablytcg.com, sync across devices, bulk edit, CSV import - **Early access** to new TCG catalogs and features

Tap the PRO / paywall entry point inside the app. Purchases are handled through the App Store.

Yes — subscriptions auto-renew unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel any time from your Apple ID subscription settings.

Check the paywall inside the app for any current trial offer — trial availability may change.

Slably PRO uses your Apple ID. If Family Sharing is enabled for subscriptions on your Apple ID, family members may see it — but sharing terms follow Apple's Family Sharing rules for subscriptions.

Everything you've added stays. Graded fields become read-only for new entries but existing graded data is preserved. Prices continue to update; you just lose the MAX chart range.

Try Settings → Restore Purchases. Give it about 60 seconds to sync with Apple. If it still shows free tier, force-quit and reopen the app, then Restore again.

Sign in with the same Apple ID you used to subscribe, then Settings → Restore Purchases. Your PRO status will reappear.

On your iPhone: Settings app → tap your name → Subscriptions → Slably → Cancel Subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid period — you keep PRO until then.

Yes — in the same Subscriptions screen (Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Slably), tap the plan option to switch. Apple prorates the change.

Refunds go through Apple, not us. On your iPhone: Settings → your name → Media & Purchases → View Account → Purchase History → find the Slably charge → Report a Problem. Or use https://reportaproblem.apple.com in a browser.

That would be Apple's billing — but let us know via `human` in Discord and we can help you look into it. Include the two purchase dates from your Apple purchase history.

Since Apple handles the payment, refund decisions go through them. We can advocate for you if you're stuck — reach out via `human` and share what happened.

That's between you and Apple — try updating your payment method in Settings → your name → Payment & Shipping.

- Move to brighter, more even lighting. - Hold the card steady and centered in the camera frame. - If it's in a very glossy sleeve, try scanning without the sleeve once. - Turn off the flash if it's washing out the image. - If it still doesn't detect, tap "Search instead" to add it manually.

On the confirmation screen, tap "Not this card?" and pick the correct match from the search results.

- Force-quit Slably (swipe up on the app card) and reopen. - Restart your iPhone. - Make sure iOS is up to date. - If it still crashes, uninstall and reinstall. Your data is tied to your account, so signing back in restores everything. - Still crashing? Reach out via `human` with the screen where it crashes.

- Double-check your email and password. If you signed up with Sign in with Apple, use that button, not email + password. - Reset your password from the sign-in screen. - If Sign in with Apple isn't working, sign out of Apple ID on that device and back in.

Reach out via `human` and share any info that identifies your account (Apple ID region, approximate signup date, in-app display name). We can look it up.

- Try just the number ("047") or just the character name. - Try the alternate spelling or Japanese/Chinese name if applicable. - If the card is genuinely missing from the catalog, report the set + number via `human` — we'll add it.

Prices refresh daily. If a card just spiked, the update can lag up to a day. Also check whether the specific card is a graded vs. raw entry — graded copies are priced independently.

Free tier shows recent history. Slably PRO unlocks MAX range (full history) on every card.

Try signing out of Slably, then back in. If it repeats, reach out via `human` — could be a device-specific issue we should look at.

Slow catalog searches usually clear up after force-quit + reopen. If a specific screen is consistently slow, tell us which one via `human`.
