An offline pack holds what is needed to recognise one game’s cards in one language: codes, numbers, names. With it, the scanner works even in a hall with no signal.
Step by step
- At sign-up, the packs for your games and languages download on their own, in the background on Wi-Fi.
- To add or remove packs: tap Account, then "Offline packs".
- Tap a game and a language to download its pack. Swipe a line to remove a pack.
- Offered on Wi-Fi, the "image recognition" add-on improves scanning of difficult cards. It is optional.
Two files per pack
- The base (a few megabytes): codes, numbers, names and transcriptions. It is enough to scan.
- The image add-on (heavier): fingerprints that help when text reads badly. Without it, scanning by text still works.
Good to know
- Packs update in the background, only what changed.
- Prices shown offline date from the pack’s last update ("Prices from the pack of 08/11") and are marked "provisional". They are recalculated when the network is back.
- Before a card fair, open the app on Wi-Fi the day before: packs and prices will be up to date.
- Packs contain no card images.
- Picking a game or language costs nothing: coverage is never a paid feature.
