Frequently Asked Questions

What is U.C.M?

U.C.M — Universal Cards Market is a free app for trading card collectors. Point your phone at a card or a sealed product and U.C.M looks for the exact print, shows its official picture and its current market price, lets you save it to your collection, and follow weekly news for every game.

Which card games does U.C.M support?

Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Super and Digimon. U.C.M covers English and Japanese cards.

Is U.C.M still in beta? How do I get the app?

No. The early beta test of U.C.M has ended and its beta website no longer exists, so please ignore older posts that mention it. U.C.M is available now on Google Play for Android and on the App Store for iPhone, and is free to download. Start at ucm-app.app.

Is there an app that scans a Pokémon card and shows its price?

Yes. U.C.M is a free app that does exactly that: open the Scan tab, choose Pokémon and point the camera at the card. U.C.M looks for the exact print, shows its official picture and its current market price, and lets you save it to your collection. It reads English and Japanese cards. More on the Pokémon card scanner page.

Can U.C.M scan One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic, Lorcana, Dragon Ball and Digimon cards?

Yes. Besides Pokémon, U.C.M scans One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Super and Digimon cards. Choose the game in the Scan tab and point the camera at the card; every game has its own card catalog.

Can U.C.M scan Japanese cards?

Yes. U.C.M covers both English and Japanese cards, and each print is matched on its own, so a Japanese card is shown with its own set and its own price.

Can I scan sealed products such as booster boxes?

Yes. Besides single cards, U.C.M scans sealed products such as booster boxes, packs and decks, and shows the product's current market price. You can save sealed products to your collection like any card.

What is in the U.C.M weekly news?

Every week U.C.M publishes news for each card game, written from its own price data: cards and sealed products with their current prices. The news is free to read in the app and on the website, and each story comes with its official picture.

Is U.C.M free?

Yes. U.C.M is free to download and the free plan includes 3 scans per week, your collection and the weekly news. A scan that gives you no result is handed back (up to 3 a week), so it does not use up your free scans. U.C.M Ultra is an optional subscription for collectors who want more.

What does U.C.M Ultra add?

Unlimited scans with no weekly limit, full Market Place access, every price from raw up to top grades, and sharing your cards with anyone. Ultra comes as a monthly or yearly plan; the current price is shown in the app before you buy.

How do I cancel U.C.M Ultra?

Ultra is managed by Google Play or Apple. Cancel any time in your Google Play or App Store account settings, at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Deleting the app or your U.C.M account does not cancel the subscription.

Can I get a refund for U.C.M Ultra?

Refunds for Ultra are handled by Google Play or Apple, because they take the payment, not by U.C.M. Ask for one through your Google Play or App Store purchase history. Cancelling stops future renewals and you keep access until the period you already paid for ends. Your mandatory consumer rights are not affected.

How does scanning work?

Open the Scan tab, choose the game and point the camera at the card. U.C.M reads the card and compares it with its card catalog to look for the exact print. If a few prints look alike, it shows you the closest matches so you can pick the right one.

You can also scan sealed products such as booster boxes, packs and decks.

Where do the prices come from?

Prices are market estimates based on recent sales of the same card or product, refreshed throughout the day. They are a guide, not an offer to buy or sell, and the real price of a card also depends on its condition.

Does U.C.M show graded card prices?

Yes. Where sales data exists, U.C.M shows prices for graded copies (PSA, BGS, CGC and SGC) next to the raw price, so you can see what grading adds before you send a card in.

How does the Market Place work?

Collectors can list cards for sale or trade and message each other. U.C.M is a venue only: it does not take part in, process payment for, ship or authenticate any deal between users. See the Terms of Use for details.

Is U.C.M on iPhone?

Yes. U.C.M is available on iPhone through the App Store, and on Android through Google Play. It is free to download.

Which devices does U.C.M work on?

iPhones running iOS 16.4 or newer, and Android phones and tablets running Android 7.0 or newer. The app is made for devices with a camera.

Do I need an account?

Yes. Sign in with Google, Apple or email so your collection and settings are saved. You must be at least 13 years old to use U.C.M.

How do I delete my account?

In the app go to Profile, then Delete Account. Your account is scheduled for permanent deletion after 30 days, and signing back in before then restores it. You can also use the account deletion page.

What does U.C.M do with my data?

U.C.M uses your data to run the app — your account, collection, listings and messages. The full details are in the Privacy Policy.

How do I contact U.C.M?

Email support@ucm-app.app for help, privacy questions or to report a problem. You can also visit the support page for scan tips, subscription help and account links.
