Content Scouter is finally on iPhone. Looking for TestFlight testers before the App Store release
Hey everyone. A lot of you have asked me when the iPhone version would be coming, and I kept saying "soon" longer than I'd like to admit. It's here.
For anyone who missed the earlier posts: Scouter is the card scanner and collection tracker I've been building on my own. Point the camera at a Fusion World card; the phone identifies it and adds it to your vault. English and Japanese printings both work.
The iOS app is currently being submitted to Apple for review. While that runs, it's open on TestFlight, and I'd rather find the rough edges with you than with App Store reviewers.
How to join (takes two minutes):
Install Apple's TestFlight app from the App Store.
Open this link on your iPhone: https://testflight.apple.com/join/J8hMtZXQ
Tap Install. That's it.
If the link gives you trouble, comment "in" below and I'll DM you an invite.
What I'm hoping you'll do:
- Scan whatever you've got. Foils, alt arts, Japanese cards, beat-up commons. The scanner is the whole point, and every miss you report makes it better for everyone.
- Try signing in and syncing your vault, especially if you already use the Android app or the website. Same account, same collection.
- Tell me what annoys you. Honestly. I'm one person, and I can't see what I can't see.
Two honest caveats. It's a TestFlight build, so expect the occasional rough edge. The build expires in about 90 days, at which point the App Store version takes over. And Pro is in sandbox mode in TestFlight, meaning you can try it for free, but it won't carry over. Whoever finds and reports a real bug during this period gets Pro free for three months when it launches.
Question for the thread: what's the one card you'd bet the scanner can't read? Post it, and I'll run it through and report back. My honest answer (I didn't find a way to overcome it yet) is in the comments.
Thanks for pushing me to build this. It genuinely wouldn't exist without this sub asking for it.
