### 5/5 — All tools needed for MTG in one app

*2026-05-27*

Very awesome app! Before using CardWisp I would have to have multiple apps for different tools. CardWisp has them all in one! I can scan and save decks as well as keep track of my life points. Very well organized!

### 5/5 — Highly recommend! Incredible app. I don’t normally leave reviews but

*2026-05-26*

I got to use the life tracker with my pod last night. Super clean layout. We lost our d20 but the app comes with a dice roller which was really cool

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2026-05-25*

I downloaded this as a life tracker and was blown away with all the other features. Great app. Scans, searches, decks, life counters. Does what it says.

### 5/5 — Smooth Multifaceted App

*2026-05-25*

Simple app that does a lot of things well. I like that the life tracker has some extra actions when you swipe left like keeping track of the monarch, poison counters, etc.

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-05-25*

A home grown tool made by a magic player for other magic players to enjoy the convenience of knowing what deck builds you have.

### 5/5 — I love mtg and this app

*2026-05-25*

Absolutely blown away by this app. I download a lot of apps and usually delete them within a day, but this one instantly earned a permanent spot on my phone. The design is insanely clean, everything runs smooth, and you can tell a ton of passion went into every detail. It’s rare to find an app that actually feels polished AND fun to use at the same time.

Honestly feels like something made by a huge professional company, not just an indie release. Super intuitive, fast, and genuinely useful. I’ve already recommended it to friends because it’s THAT good.

Can’t wait to see where this app goes in the future — if this is just the beginning, it’s going to be massive. Huge respect to the developer for absolutely crushing it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-21

Draw Odds (Pro) - simulate hundreds of opening hands for any deck to see your land distribution, the mana values and card types you'll typically open with, and your mana-screw and flood odds. Set your own keepable range so you know your mulligan calls before you shuffle up.

Faster Scanning - cards are now read right on your device instead of uploading each photo, so they're identified dramatically faster.

Scan sounds - a satisfying cue on every scan, with a higher tone the more valuable the card.

Plus brighter, more readable text across the app.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-15

Card prices now stay up to date automatically, so your collection and deck values always reflect current market prices.

Sort your Collection by Value to bring your most valuable cards to the top.

Recently added: Playtest lets you draw sample hands and goldfish your decks solo before game night (Pro).

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-14

Introducing Playtest, a new Pro feature.

Test-drive any deck without an opponent. Draw your opening hand, play lands and spells onto a free-form battlefield, and see how your deck actually flows before game night.

• Draw, Scry, Surveil, Mill, and search your library
• Move cards between hand, battlefield, graveyard, and exile
• Add counters, make custom tokens, and flip transform cards
• Track life and turns as you go

Plus smaller fixes and polish across the app.
