Record makes one video of your opening: the cards from the back camera, your face from the front, and your voice. Each card is recognised as you hold it up, its picture flashes up with its price, and the video ends with your pack recap.

  1. Open the scanner from + in Inventory or Collection, and tap Record at the bottom.
  2. Tap the face button for Bubble, Split (cards on top, you underneath) or No face.
  3. Tap Pulls to pick Flash (the card big, 0.2 to 3 seconds), Drawer or Name and price, and prices in the video or not.
  4. Tap Paid and type what your pack or box cost. The video starts below zero and climbs with each card: red while behind, green once ahead.
  5. Tap the red button to start. The first time, the phone asks to use the microphone: allow it for sound.
  6. Open your pack and hold each card up in the frame for a moment. It drops into the strip with its price.
  7. Tap the red square to stop. The video ends with your pack recap and saves to Photos (allow it the first time). Tap Share to post it.
  • Every card you pulled stays in the strip after you stop: tap Review or Add all to put them in your collection.
  • The total only counts cards whose version is confirmed; one still waiting shows without its picture or price.
  • The recap shows your best pulls first, what you paid and pulled, and your profit or loss.
  • Paid is kept for your next opening. Tap it and choose Clear to remove it.
  • Recordings stop by themselves at 15 minutes and save. Leaving the app also stops and saves the video.
  • Your video stays on your phone until you share it. Nothing is uploaded.

Your face shows on iPhone XS, XR and newer. Older iPhones record the cards only.

Tip. Hidden numbers on (the eye)? Prices stay out of the video too.
