Looking for beta testers — BinderTrax, an all-in-one app for trading card collectors and dealers

I've been building BinderTrax, a trading card app that combines everything collectors and card dealers usually juggle across separate apps and spreadsheets into one place. Looking for a handful of testers on Android before a wider release.

I'm a developer by trade, and I've been using Card Dealer Pro and Collx for a few years. A few months ago I finally got frustrated enough to build my own app and put it out there with the million+ other apps. I was tired of CDP not making an effort to match TCG cards, making a weak attempt at sports cards, and having a 9% accuracy success rate. I tried making suggestions to their leadership, tried to explain how collectors and resellers actually do things, and they brushed me off, not to mention the constant errors you experience on both platforms.

What it does:

Scan cards instantly with your camera — identifies the card, pulls live market pricing, and adds it to your collection in seconds. Supports Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece, sports cards, Funko, and a dozen+ other TCGs. Batch-scan a whole stack at once, or fly through cards one after another with the live scanner. The only thing we don't currently support is graded card lookups, but that's, hopefully, coming soon.

A real digital Binder for your collection, with live market value tracked automatically as prices move. For TCG, we have a ghost binder when viewing by set so you can see what you have and what you need.

Plus, my favorite, the PokeTrax (Pokedex) is where your cards build your Pokedex. Scanning a higher rarity will replace a lower rarity in PokeTrax.

Duplicate copies of the same card are grouped together in the Binder instead of cluttering your view, but each physical copy still tracks its own storage location independently — so you can have five copies of one card split across different boxes/binders and the app keeps that straight.

Full inventory management built in, not just a collection tracker — locations, stock levels, receiving, for anyone running this as a side hustle or business.

Barcode scanning for fast lookups, plus the ability to generate and print real barcode and QR inventory labels — no separate labeling software needed. Plus, you can scan your own QR or barcode when selling at shows to remove the card from your eBay inventory so you don't have to remember to do it after you get home.

Sell straight to eBay, including eBay variation listings (one listing, multiple card options a buyer picks from) that keep each copy's storage location attached, so when a variation sells, the app tells you exactly which physical copy to pull and where it is.

A point-of-sale checkout for in-person sales, with barcode scanning and QR "scan to pay."

Market trend tracking and a Dealer Hub showing what's moving, what's hot, and your own collection's value over time.

A condition "Appraiser" tool — photograph a card's front and back for an advisory centering/condition read before deciding whether to grade it.

A deck builder, wish list/buy list, and eBay price comps lookups.

What testing involves: install the app, use it for real over the next couple weeks (scan some cards, browse the Binder, try an eBay listing if you have an account, print a label if you have a printer handy), and tell me what breaks or feels confusing. This is Google Play closed testing, so it's low-commitment.

Yes, this app will eventually be paywalled because infrastructure and data API's aren't free, but I feel like the price per tier is competitive with other offerings because you get more with BinderTrax.

Purchased this nuke for $13 after applying account credit

Buyer listed for $150. I had $105 in credit. Seller accepted offer of $110. Didn't think they'd actually ship it.
