### 3/5 — Doesn’t save deck

*2026-02-15*

Adding cards is so finicky, and added 50 cards individually just for it to not save when I clicked save

### 3/5 — Really cool idea, very buggy

*2026-02-15*

Can’t add Or remove life most of the time.

### 1/5 — Payed for the premium

*2026-02-02*

I payed for the premium forever option and still don’t have access to any of the options it says it gives other then that it’s a good game

### 3/5 — Needs Work

*2026-01-25*

The app needs serious work. It does not explain how to use itself and even though I paid the 10$ premium I still cannot make more than one custom deck despite the premium add saying I would be able to.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-06-29*

Great way to play a single player or multiplayer game of horde magic. Easy to use and looks great.
