### 3/5 — Gets the job done

*2026-08-11, version 2.2.5*

Very solid. Hasn’t been updated in 6 years, but there’s just nothing else. Artificer is practically unusable. CardCreator functions great no bugs

### 4/5 — Good app but…

*2026-08-06, version 2.2.5*

I wish you could put static abilities on planes, walkers, and also having it so that you could make saga’s would be nice too

### 4/5 — Honestly great

*2026-04-03*

I think this app is awesome, I love being able to bring literally whatever I want to life. I have two minor, personal complaints, though. I would like to see a better way of unloading pictures, the current way is kinda buggy and not very intuitive. Also, I’d like to see an update where we get more card designs, like full art, Sagas, and maybe double sided (transform) cards! Other than that, great app, I would highly recommend if you like magic, being creative or being wacky.

### 3/5 — Really good app!!!

*2026-02-27, version 2.2.5*

Really good card creator. Highly recommend. The only issue is that the glossary is not very updated and does not have definitions for many effects at all. I would really appreciate if you added more! Thx!

### 4/5 — Suggestions

*2026-01-28, version 2.2.5*

Overall great app that is flexible and easy to work with, just wish the following were actual features:
-Ability to add Saga Enchantments
-It doesn’t delete your work if you don’t click ‘save’ while creating Planeswalker abilities
-Text on token creatures
-Add other tokens, not just token creatures without having to go in and change it every single time
-Able to toggle full-art
-If I have music in the background while creating, which I usually do, it pauses when I go to import an image
-Battles/Sieges (Landscape arts)

Hope this helps!

### 4/5 — Great but could be better

*2025-12-04, version 2.2.5*

Overall I love this for making my sets but It would be great to get double sided cards.

### 4/5 — Good, could be great!

*2025-10-23, version 2.2.5*

Straightforward to use. I would really enjoy a borderless frame to make cards for vertical art.

### 2/5 — Would not recommend

*2025-10-11, version 2.2.5*

It’s stupid that you have to do a pay wall basically do anything you don’t get to choose the cards rarity border or basically anything. The only thing you can choose to do is the art power, toughness and ability that’s it make it so you can have everything without having to join the Patreon just make it so you have everything at the start but there’s some ads this game was so disappointing

### 2/5 — Missing existing mechanics

*2025-09-03, version 2.2.5*

The app is ok but it needs a way to add non loyalty type effects to plainswalkers, also it needs a way to add stuff like the adventure and omen cards or cards that flip/transform. This is all stuff that exists in magic already and most of these gimmicks have existed for a while so to not be able to do even everything they actually can with existing cards limits the creativity greatly.

### 4/5 — Overall Great

*2025-06-08, version 2.2.5*

One tiny Nit pick about planeswalkers, we need a way for a “Consitent ability” so that they make have things like “When a colorless card enters, exile target permanent”

### 2/5 — Two Color options shouldn’t be locked to patron members

*2025-05-08, version 2.2.5*

I get locking some features, however locking the option to make a frame two color makes the app nearly unusable honestly. You cannot make two color cards look like they should in this app, they have to be 3+ color or mono color. Honestly I even think locking the gold frame makes more sense than this.

### 3/5 — Yeah

*2024-11-11, version 2.2.5*

It’s good, just limited on what designs you have access to. And no way to make full art cards apparently.

### 2/5 — They say “Somethings” are patron required

*2024-08-20, version 2.2.5*

Heres my issue, There isnt the ability to do the very basic thing of duel colored frames is patron when no other app does that

### 4/5 — Wonderful app, but lacking some much desired features

*2024-02-09*

I’ve been using this app for a little while now, and I think it is amazing and quite useful for making themed cards to show to my friends.

Sidenote: it runs slowly sometimes, delayed responses and whatnot, but that only really happens after using the app for a long time.

However, I have come across a need for some features that I think would be beneficial to the users of this app: 
- Make cards that transform into other cards, as this would be very useful for making more complex cards. 
- Be able to add extra text to planeswalkers besides the ability text.
- Support for artifact tokens, since this would allow for some much-needed functional customizability. 
- Adventure effects on cards, because it would be cool.

As for visual customization, I think these features would be quite nice:
- Full art lands
- Allow alternate card skins (as in, borderless, translucent text boxes, karlov manor magnifying glass, etc.)

Given its current features, I still consider it an amazing app for those who want to make MTG cards such as myself, but it could use some more options on how to make cards.

### 4/5 — A Game With Growth Potential

*2024-01-18, version 2.2.5*

This game is great. It’s got all the materials needed to make a decent Magic card, I get to see all the amazing things people are making, and if I ever get confused about Magic card terms, I can just use the app to find it out. The only thing I would say is this:

1. Double-Sided Cards. A feature for a good Magic card.
2. Vintage and Alternate Card Designs. Some option in card appearance.
3. Some Direction In Card Format. A solution to confusion in Magic card making.

It may not be perfect, but you’re doing great. It’s better than I could do, and the Patron thing is totally understandable. Keep up the good work!

### 3/5 — Good but ………

*2023-12-26, version 2.2.5*

We want yugioh card maker app

### 4/5 — Awesome, just needs one thing!

*2023-12-26, version 2.2.5*

Would love to be able to leave comments on community published cards! I’d love to see what others think of my cards and I’d love to compliment others creativity.

### 4/5 — On the right track!

*2023-12-19, version 2.2.5*

Still a bit raw, but very intuitive and a lot of fun. Keep up the good work!

### 3/5 — Card text way to large.

*2023-11-12, version 2.2.5*

Modern cards often use smaller text than is offered in this app. Take the most recent 5 LCI gods ; all have 9 lines of text split into at least 3 paragraphs. Many of the the rates in the set have 5 lines of rules text and 3 lines of flavor text. 

This app doesn’t let you design cards in line with the standard for cards today

### 4/5 — It’s good but

*2023-08-15, version 2.2.5*

You should add saga, battle, and split cards

### 4/5 — Honest opinion

*2023-08-10*

Overall, I love the app I really do and the reason it’s getting a 4 instead of a 5 star review is because there’s some things that I think you could do better. 

1. Have better system for selecting your photos
2. Better cropping options for your photos
3. Better border options for the hybrid cards (could provide picture examples if you’d like)
4. Options for full art and or full art borderless
5. In general better border options (again I could provide pictures of examples if you would like)
6. A more customizable menu integration for your saved folders.
7. And the options to make planes chase cards.
If all those things can be resolved I’ll give it a 5 star right out the gate because it’s almost there is it is because like I said, this is one of the better apps that I’ve seen, hands-down.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2023-05-03, version 2.2.5*

I have just one suggestion, please ♾️ mana, 1,000,000 mana, and other stuff like that please.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Camera issues

*2026-01-16, version 2.2.5*

When you go to add an image, it wants to take a picture instead of letting you add a image

### 1/5 — Locked behind paywall

*2025-05-06, version 2.2.5*

They have most the creative options behind the patron don’t download

### 1/5 — SO DIFFICULT FOR NO REASON 😡😡😡

*2022-06-07, version 2.2.5*

If there is one word I could use to describe this app, it would be that it is garbage. It is so hard to use and why do I need to become a patron to change MY own card. If you really want there to be better ratings, try making it to where the card creator can access everything for free and without becoming a patron.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2021-12-25, version 2.2.5*

I can’t select a photo, when I do it doesn’t apply to the card and leaves the card blank.

### 1/5 — Seriously? THIS is how you chose to do it?!

*2021-09-04, version 2.2.5*

A horizontal, one-by-one photo selector? Seriously? That doesn’t make ANY sense. Not only does it make it a pain in the side to just find the pic you’re looking for, it doesn’t even WORK when you do find it. Hitting the Finish button after selecting an image brings you back to the card editing screen WITHOUT PUTTING THE IMAGE YOU SELECTED IN THAT SCREEN. It makes absolutely no sense why this app causes you to waste time trying to find an image you want only to keep you from using it in the first place.

### 1/5 — You pretty much can’t do anything without paying

*2021-05-27, version 2.2.5*

Seriously quite the trash program. You can find better card makers online that are actually free.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2021-05-10, version 2.2.5*

When I tried to put an image into the box, it did not work. This is a big problem considering that the only thing that did work for images were ones that you took a picture of right then.

### 1/5 — Inappropriate for kids

*2020-10-25, version 2.2.5*

The app age rating is 4+. However in the community section, there are many inappropriate pictures of almost nude women and people making out. My kids use this app for creating cards, and now got exposed to these disturbing pictures. I hope the developer will change the age rating to teen and up.

### 1/5 — No images in community?

*2020-02-10, version 2.2.2*

Downloaded app to browse some fan created content and is just a bunch of grey blocks?
Oh well, hope those it actually works for enjoy it. 💩💩💩

### 1/5 — Crapy app

*2019-01-30, version 2.1.1*

I can’t even upload artwork or pictures from my library

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Perfect For Everything

*2026-07-02, version 2.2.5*

This app is what I wanted, after about 10 apps, I found this, it’s not Pokémon cards, it’s a unique card pack look. It is brilliant for printing out cards and saving them. If you want to make your own card pack, I prefer to use this app, the text isn’t too small like the other app I checked out, Card Creator is the app for you! But 2 Glitches and suggestions, 1. please add a search bar for seeing cards, and also, 2. The photo place, where you take a photo of the picture you want to use, why is the camera turnt at 90 Degrees? Left is up. Up is right, right is down, down is left, so please fix that, but overall amazing! 5 Stars.

You saved my butt, Thank you Card Creator

### 5/5 — Awesome, couple of things though.

*2026-07-01*

This app is actually so much easier to use than other apps, and ever since MTG cardsmith implemented the 30-card limit this place has been a lifesaver. 
There are a few obscure card types missing such as battles, plane cards and others, but that matters very little. The basics are here and that means the rest can be made with a few simple extra steps (I do it all the time by making plane cards out of land cards)!
However, there is one glaring problem: the difficulty of selecting images. The way it’s done is very confusing, and the size of the photo library is tiny. If this was updated, I’d say this would be a masterpiece of an app. 
This is an amazing app, and I’m glad it isn’t demanding money for everything. Thank you a lot for this masterpiece.

### 5/5 — Great Game, Can be Improved

*2025-11-10*

This game is super helpful for designing Magic cards, but there are a few things that it isn’t capable of: 1. You can’t add abilities to tokens. 2. You can’t make your own expansion symbol. 3. For planeswalkers, you can only have 3 abilities, no more no less, which means you can’t have static abilities. 4. It would be helpful if the game kept track of the amount of each type of card you have in each folder. It would make set building much easier 5. You can’t make the oracle text have italics, of which you need in order to write some keywords like “raid” or “morbid” or fathomless descent” 6. You can’t add the symbol that means the card is double sided. Thank you for reading my opinion. Also, for those of you thinking about becoming a patron: it’s definetly worth it!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-07-28, version 2.2.5*

This is a wonderful app. There is a good spread of cards and the developers do not pressure you to buy premium. They also are really good with listening to feedback. The only thing is the text space runs out rather quickly so you can’t write anything more complex than about 4 lines. Also would be good if you could add planeswalker passives rather than just flat abilities. But I’m nitpicking, it’s a great app. Would HIGHLY recommend.

### 5/5 — So much fun

*2024-04-15, version 2.2.5*

I absolutely love this app, I’ve made over 150 cards so far and many more to come, I’ve never had a problem with it and I’ve told a lot of my friends about the app and some of them have started making cards as well

### 5/5 — Wish

*2023-07-02, version 2.2.5*

I wish we could make real cards but this is fun still!

### 5/5 — Suggestion

*2023-03-21, version 2.2.5*

You should make it so people that aren’t patrons can upload 2 cards a day and patrons unlimited Please it’s been 2 years since the last update

### 5/5 — Don’t understand the ability’s

*2022-11-06, version 2.2.5*

Good but I don’t understand the ability’s so I think you should make them clearer

### 5/5 — Great so far, one quick suggestion

*2021-09-07*

Extremely modular and efficient app for card making I would never expect to find on the appstore, especially considering I’ve heard only two people are working on the app. This is actually my first review, to tell you how impressed I am. I do however, have one tiny thing I’d like to request of the developers of the app, and that is to be able to move your cards in the collection area. It would allow people to move their cards into new folders and reorganize them how they choose, something that would help I think a lot of people who just got a hold of the app in particular. Either way, can’t thank the creators enough for making such a good app!

### 5/5 — A breath of fresh air

*2021-07-12*

I’ve come to expect all mobile apps, especially the numerous garbage card making apps. But this is a breath of fresh air! No ads, a reactive developer that listens, the only paywall is cheap and it’s only for something not really needed (Plus since the dev is kind enough to have no ads they need that paywall, app development is a business and fees need to be paid). A really great app overall! My only complaints are some minor QOL changes and a big bug I’ve been dealing with for a while. The big bug is after being on the app for a while it starts to slow and lag, eventually becoming seriously slowed and then crashing. However I have noticed it’s not as severe as it used to be, so I assume they are working on it. The other complaints are just some quality of life things, mostly being modern abilities, the new card types such as sagas and adventure cards, and the ability to create your own card text abilities (Maybe a separate menu where you add them like within the glossary. It doesn’t need to be a public sharing thing but maybe later you can add the option to share) Overall an amazing app with amazing devs! If you are anyway interested in making MtG cards and you’re above the age of 19 to understand why some things are the way they are, then definitely download this app!
