Brilliant
This is a brilliant, high quality app for drafting!
A suggestion would be to somehow get the other and older packs into this app (of course, take your time with this!).
This app, coupled with Decked Builder, is epic.

Nice but not practical.
Currently this app is only for the iPhone/touch. There is no landscape function and you don't have the ability to check what your mana curve is. Aside from that the information provided and the picks of the cards are worth the price you pay for the sets provided and purchased.
I hope that there are updates to this app and there is an iPad developed app coming soon. Please fix the above issues and more people will be relying on this app to help them constructively and professionally.

Aspiring Drafter
As a long time casual player and somewhat amateur drafter (I only really started drafting when Scars came out), I've found this app invaluable in improving both my drafting skill and my understanding of the set.
The interface is very accessible and the statistics, including the amount of mana symbols of a particular color, streamline the drafting process.
The A.I. is pretty well done, however I have gotten a couple third pick Koths, which rarely happens in real drafts.
All these features, along with Egolf's insightful commentary, make this app an easy way to either get into drafting or sharpen your skills.

Promising, but currently downright bad
The idea of a drafting app nearly got me salivating, but sadly this app falls far short of it's potential. Opponent drafters let great cards go that would never last that many picks in a real draft, with regular frequency (I believe they draft too heavily according to color). Also, you aren't allowed to save drafted decks for future reference. The final nail in the coffin is that it only let's you draft triple SOM; if you want to draft any Mirrodin Besieged, well, that'll be THREE DOLLARS, please. New phyrexia isn't included yet, but if they plan to charge an extra 3 bucks every set... Well, forget it, I'd rather pay a one time flat purchase.

Egolf delivers
Being a fan of draft magic, getting egolf's official rulings on cards is a huge help to effectively draft better. My only complaint is that there aren't more sets out yet. I know new phyrexia comes out next week but I would live to see blocks like urza's, zendikar, rise, and even blocks like time spiral and ravnica and tempest and the dark. Keep posting Egolf I'll buy them all! :)

Good first effort
Nice addition to mtg apps in the store. Not surprisingly, bot drafting skills are somewhat suspect, tending to go for the best overall card instead of the best card for their already-drafted decks.
Looking forward to the next edition!
Addendum: author has raised price of additional sets to $3 each (at least for MBS); at this price, you should wait for improved draft quality before buying.
