Good but room for improvement

Great app in totality. Holds prices, decent price point for what the app offers, and the scanning saves tons of time. For 5 stars though, there should be a method when scanning decks into a collection to make sure foils are scanned as foils even if it’s just a checkbox. There also is an issue with certain sets (Japanese Strixhaven Mystical Archive) not being in the app when searched or scanned. Lastly there should definitely be an option to export decks on their own instead of just the entire collection.

Current Update broke the scanner.

I love using Card Binder to store my collection and search for cards. I have used for years now but the current update broke the scanner. It locks up after just a couple of cards and needs to be reset making imputing a new set take FOREVER!

A couple features that would be great. Would be the addition of filtering cards by sets, as well as the ability to add custom tags to cards that could be filtered.

Scanner issues with update

Great app and I use it all the time. Since the recent update, my scanner won’t pickup my camera and I’ve check permissions. I can still manually add them via set list, but that is quite cumbersome for multiple reasons.

Needs Improvement

Previous versions of the app scanner worked better. Now when the scanner fails to identify the card, the scanner must be closed and opened again. Then it works great, until it doesn’t. Sometimes I can scan a few cards in without a failure, other times it’s every single card. It makes it take forever to add cards into my library. Maybe add a capture button instead of constantly trying to scan? Like I said, scanner used to work better.

Pay to play

The interface is delightful, and the card organization is quite good. It also has accurate value ratings per card. However, when you first get the app you only get space for 100 cards (unique; duplicates don’t count) and you have to purchase more space after you fill that. It’s $.99 for 100, and $4.99 for 1000. Therefore if you have a large collection, such as 6000 cards, you’re spending about $30. It’s not totally insane for a trustworthy and functional card binder app, but it’s good to note before you download the app, that you should not choose it because it’s “free.” It’s not, unless your collection is only 100 cards, in which case you probably don’t need this app anyways. I would urge the app developers to lower their prices to a slightly more reasonable rate.

Precon scan

When scanning a precon and trying to use that as my scanned “commander deck” it’s flagging for 99 cards bc it’s not counting my commander. Just sat here for 2.5 hrs talking with chat gpt to try to figure out if I was missing anything or messing anything up but I’m not. When it shows how many of each card I have it totals to 100 but the app is just taking away 1 for commander. Is there anyway I could get help with this?

Pretty decent

I would advise to scan cards into your collection in small batches because it gets so boring at times. Only real criticism is needing to spend money for more collection size but it’s reasonably priced

Muy buena app

Es muy completa y la opción escanear va de maravilla!!

Fallo con edge of eternity

Perfecta

He usado esta app durante los últimos meses y es estupenda, claro que se puede mejorar unas cosas pero es la mejor del mercado de largo.

Lo que más me gusta es que no haya que pagar una subscripción mensual y solo se pague por lo que la usas.

Overall what I need

Some things can help streamline adding my whole
Collection would be full card scanning, instead of attempting to sift through many different sets for a variety of cards.

Second, my wife and I share our collection. And as we are both active duty military being able to have this list accessible on both of our phones would be incredibly beneficial. Also, if I can’t log in, does that prevent me from seeing this list on any other devices?

Cheeky Pricing

First impression of the app was okay. But you can only store 100 cards before you have to pay for space. How much depends on how much space you need.

Considering this data is held on my own device, it’s really a bit cheeky.

I get it. Devs need to eat. I’ll pay for premium services if I need them. But paying to unlock more of my phone’s storage? No thanks.

Great for tracking your collection

Love this app, great for keeping track of your collection. I have struggled with the deck builder as I would like it to utilize the scan function to make it easier to save deck lists.

Exported CSV files not compatible with other site

I really love the scanning function and the ability to choose foil/nonfoil along with the way it shows all the card with that scanned name. And I love that you can look at the whole release of cards by their set. The search ui could use some work to not be so clunky. But right now, I am unable to export a csv file that can be read on either deckbox or moxfield, which is making this system useless for me.

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for the feedback. We are sorry to hear it doesn’t work for you. Exporting a csv file that is understood by every system is difficult, the only available solution is to take the export csv file and covert it using some kind of Excel or other tool. I know it’s not ideal but that is the only thing we have right now.

Good App

It is great for keeping your collection up to date. The export function could use some work. I have to manually manipulate the data before I can import it anywhere. Also, the is a bug right now with Dragon Storm. The app doesn’t recognize the cards as legal for some reason. I have 12,000 logged in the binder, so I obviously like it and am vested in it.

Bug

Great for managing my collection

Easy to use - effective

Will Rob You

It only allows you to catalog 100 cards for free, if you want to catalog more it asks for $5. I decided to spend the $5 and then it charged me $50.

No subscription = excellent

This app is great! I wanted a simple card database that I could pay for and be done with it- I’m not interested in paying for a monthly/annual subscription that I might use sporadically.
The scan function works almost flawlessly-some issues with white color text on white cards, but an uncommon enough occurrence that adding them manually isn’t terrible.
If the dev is reading this, great job!
My only suggestion: cross device syncing- I don’t carry my iPad around as much as my phone. I used my iPad to scan the cards and to leaf through my collection at home. It would be nice to scan new purchases and have them populate across devices.

Response from developer

Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback! Just saying, if you have the same iCloud account in multiple devices, your collection will be automatically synced between devices!

Good app

Great app, however I’m noticing still alot of cards not getting picked up or scanned in, how often is the database being updated?
Paid for the extra 1000 slots 🫶🏻
