### 1/5 — terrible app

*2025-01-14*

it wouldnt let me scan n wouldnt let me report app ether so its bad n trash

### 3/5 — Good in theory n name only

*2024-02-28*

First, it would be really cool if instead of only building decks I could track my collection as well as build decks. Second, If only the app worked. I’ve never had the scan feature work at all.  Whenever I try to scan cards it never works. Would be really great if it did work something needs to be done to this app but since I’m not a developer I don’t know what. I’m giving 3 stars because the idea is amazing but it just doesn’t work n maybe it’s user error? I don’t think it Is but still

### 1/5 — Completely pointless

*2023-10-04*

Even under ideal conditions, the app will rarely scan any cards. Also, it has not been updated in forever. Even though TCGPlayer has the newest sets, and this app just seems to link to that database, it still does not have any of the sets for the last few years. Just bookmark TCGPlayer and uninstall this completely useless app.

### 1/5 — Arcane tinmen

*2023-03-15*

Dragon shield and arcane tinmen supoort the nitpicking nerds YouTube channel. If you didn’t hear they are bullies in the mtg community who got a trans kid banned by telling their fans that that kid was transphobic.

### 3/5 — Great in theory. Shoddy in practice

*2022-04-15*

Some cards, it works great on, but I have like 12 cards (over half of my deck) that the scanner refuses to detect, so I have to search manually, which is really frustrating when you can't read Japanese. With a combination of Google translate and ebay listings, i was able to input all of my cards, but it was a really rough experience doing so.

### 5/5 — Good app👍🏻

*2021-12-31*

I like that you can see what the price is and see it easer that having to look all over the internet for a good price to sell the card

### 1/5 — Doesn't scan

*2018-10-14*

Doesn't actually scan anything.

**Developer response:** Hi N. Jolly. 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.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2018-05-18*

The scan works like a charm and all the information is well organized and easy to read. I would like to see collection and/or deck list functionality in the future.

**Developer response:** Hi NeonRail. 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, for example you can now add multiple decks since inventory and decks are now free for everyone. There isnt a card limit anymore, so please enjoy.

### 1/5 — Just a little frustrated.

*2018-03-10*

The app worked fine for all of 2 cards, after which the scan function has completely stopped working. It was good for a moment but now its causing me endless frustration.

**Developer response:** Hi Chocolatesanchez. 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.
