  • So long, and thanks for all the fish

    Been using the app since the legacy version. I was fine having to get a new app, even having to repurchase the features again. But there has been a constant bug with the search function causing the keypad to keep popping up awkwardly after searching. The scanner is unable to pick up certain card frames and is unable to read battles or certain bonus sheet cards. Also as time has gone on have noticed a number of versions of cards not being added to the app at all including certain foils and special frames. I have since transferred my card lists to a new app and will unfortunately be deleting this one as it’s quality has steadily fallen over time.

  • Scam practices

    Old users had to pay 11$ us to get the app, now they changed their payement model and removed the SCAN feature (you know, the reason why everyone bought the app). Now we have to pay 13$ us to be able to scan again.
  • SCAM

    I already paid like 8 bucks for this app and now it’s asking for another payment of 10. Absolutely insane and very slimy.
  • Best MTG Scanner on iOS

    While no scanner is perfect, this one is currently the best in my testing for 90s cards. I’ve scanned thousands, and have many thousands more to scan. That said, while good, there are several updates this app could use to be much better. Hoping development continues, dev is very solid.

    P.s. many of the negative reviews are because the legacy app’s “lifetime” purchase didn’t transfer over to this newer app. While each of those complains are valid, this app is very reasonably priced, and “technically” those complaints are regarding a different app. Just noting.

  • Incredibly Disrespectful

    It’s unbelievably dishonest to release what what should have been an app update as a new (separate) app, and not honour the “Lifetime Usage” of core features that people paid for in what is now the “legacy” app. Such blatant disregard for the customers who chose to support the developers by paying for a product that could easily be found elsewhere.

  • Worth it

    As a legacy user of 4+ years gotta say this app is definitely worth it. Incredibly dedicated developer, great customer service, and obviously passionate fan of Magic. Rebuying the card scanner is really a small price to pay for the amount of work that goes into this app, the dev has worked with me directly to fix some bugs that were happening a couple versions of ios prior. I was worried I would have to change to a new app, but he managed to fix my issue in about a week.

  • Lacks organizational features

    Overall, this is a decent app at a reasonable price. I have not had issues with updates that others claim to have (the lifetime purchase not carrying over). However, my gripe is with seemingly basic features. For example: You can NOT move cards between binders easily and in-bulk. As of Feb. 3rd, 2024, the only way it seems you can move a card from one binder to another, is to add a copy to the new binder. Then, go and delete the original. This makes no sense, and is incredibly time consuming. There’s also a bug: when you leave the app, sometimes the gear icon (which has the settings to rename a binder) just disappears. You must restart the app or switch to another and come back, to restore it. Again, this app is about saving time. This sort of stuff should not be plaguing it.

  • The best out there.

    While there are a few things I would change about this if I could it is still the best I’ve found by far. The card recognition is at least four steps ahead of its closest competitor. I’ve downloaded ever app available and paid the subscription fee but this one has out shown them all. I wish there were a few tweaks like a wishlist section and a subcategory to keep binders and decks of different crypts separate but over all it gets an A+ from me!

  • Good but…

    The app is almost great. A few things just fall short. The scanner doesn’t work as well as other scanning tools. Black cards hardly ever scan in any decent amount of time. Any mdfc cards won’t scan unless you put your finger over the triangle. Sideways cards like battles won’t scan even if you do that. In short the app is good, but if the scanner won’t scan everything then what’s the point? Especially when the search function is clunky if you can’t get a card to scan. If they fix the scanner, everything else is great. The problem is the scanner is the only reason I looked for this app in the first place. Needs some work.
