Tried to scan several cards but it did NOT work. Just takes a picture of the and nothing else. No name, no prices. Seems like it works in the past but not anymore. ### 1/5 — Used to work great *2022-08-08* App used to be INCREDIBLE! I updated the database, and now every card shows up as “card name” with no price ### 1/5 — App does not Open up *2017-08-08* When I try to open up the app it does not start up it just crashes **Developer response:** Could you please tell us what device do you use? So we can try to fix the problem. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t always scan cards *2019-11-18* The scanning system is rather inconsistent. Sometimes it won’t even scan my cards at all. **Developer response:** Hi RedRobin1811. We have made quite a few updates and bug fixes, as well as many features were added. Also the inventory and decks are now free for all since a recent update. Please confirm if the issue remains, if so please contact us at support@dragonshield.com so that our team might help you. ### 3/5 — More Decks! *2019-11-21* I love the app and it's very useful, but please let us have more than one deck stored at a time. There is no other vanguard app for iOS and you guys are ahead of the game as it is. Allow us to store more than one deck is all I ask 🙏 **Developer response:** Hi Sychiic, thank you for the review, we really appreciate it! :) please check out our new updates to the app, regarding the card limit being over, and inventory and decks are now free, i'm sure you're gonna enjoy these changes. Please let us know what you think. ### 3/5 — Scanner cannot tell the difference between foil and not foil *2019-04-19* Scanned some cards, specifically a Lover Hope, Rina and it was foil. Scanned the SAME came, NOT in foil and it gave me the same price quote and it stated it was a normal card (not foil). Pulled it up in TCG and the non-foil is $1. This needs to be fixed for accuracy **Developer response:** Hi jnelson1078. We have made quite a few updates and bug fixes, as well as many features were added. Also the inventory and decks are now free for all since a recent update. Please confirm if the issue remains, if so please contact us at support@dragonshield.com so that our team might help you. ### 3/5 — Decent but has some issues *2017-04-04* When it does find the card it is pretty fast Some cards it wasn't able to scan/find. It also isn't able to tell the difference between Rarity of the card for example my dream spinning ahsha. The app was not able to tell it was an RRR. It gave me the price of the SP version. **Developer response:** Hi Magical G. Thank you for the review. We're happy to inform you that some changes were made to the app since then, with updates and bug fixes, as well as many features were added. Also the inventory and decks are now free, with no card limit. We invite you to try our app again. ### 4/5 — Change suggestions *2021-05-23* This app is amazing for vanguard, however there are couple changes I would like to suggest. There probably should be a card filter to allow people to search by clan/nation, set, etc. I also think that it would be nice if you could click on the card and get a full screen version that’s easier to read. Other than that, I love this app **Developer response:** Hi BruceBestDeck, thank you so much for the review! :) We're always open to suggestions and in fact what you've suggested makes sense for the app, we'll be bringing these ideas to our development team for consideration. We hope that you keep enjoying the app and please let us know if you have any other suggestions in the future. ### 4/5 — Needs little things *2021-04-09* Good app would be better if I could save multiple decks an have price for the decks **Developer response:** Hi vorlon123, Thank you for the review. We hope that you also enjoy our recent updates, we no longer have a card limit, and decks and inventory are now free for everyone. Let us know what you think! ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2020-02-06* The only thing that could make this app better is a filter option when searching. **Developer response:** Hi Pawsking. Thank you for the review. We're happy to inform you that some changes were made to the app since then, with updates and bug fixes, as well as many features were added. Also the inventory and decks are now free, with no card limit.

It’s missing one thing like a sorting/filter because when building a deck. I like to sort by grade and that would look better when exporting to clipboard or text. **Developer response:** Hi metamaster20. thank you for the review, our team is working to improve the sorting system as well as bring other features to the app. Please check out our new updates to the app, regarding the card limit being over, and inventory and decks are now free, i'm sure you're gonna enjoy these changes.

Please let us know what you think ### 4/5 — A good start *2017-06-09* It's able to read a lot of the cards I tested, but was unable to find some of the new sets. It doesn't have the option to search by rarity, but with a few tweaks this could be a really helpful app. It simplifies the trading process and makes it streamlined. **Developer response:** Hi thefourthhokaga. Thank you for the review. We're happy to inform you that some changes were made to the app since then, with updates and bug fixes, as well as many features were added. Also the inventory and decks are now free, with no card limit. We invite you to try our app again. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
