How we chose: We looked for iPhone apps that support the Gundam Card Game and ranked them for a collector who wants to know what each card is and what it is worth, on five criteria: card identification, price accuracy for the exact variant, collection tools, how data is handled according to the App Store privacy label, and price, as listed on the App Store on September 26, 2026. Facts about other apps come from their App Store pages; apps whose page does not mention the Gundam Card Game were left out. GunTomo is made by Lucernel, the publisher of this page.
Why the exact variant matters
The same card number can exist as a regular card, a parallel or a promo, and their prices can be very different. An app that scans a card and prices the regular version when you hold a parallel gets your collection value wrong. Look for variant detection before you trust a total.
Scanner, marketplace or database
Card apps come in three kinds: scanners that identify and price what you own, marketplaces where you buy and sell, and databases for searching cards and building decks. Collectors mostly need the first; players the third. Many people keep one of each.
Check what gets uploaded
Some scanners send your photos to a server to identify the card; others read it on the phone. The App Store privacy label tells you what each app collects. GunTomo reads the card code on the device and does not upload photos.
