### 1/5 — Awesome idea but not executed properly

*2021-12-20, version 1.3.0*

Simple problem, I’m sure it’s an awesome app when it works but it won’t let me search up cards.

### 2/5 — Missing text and color after update

*2021-01-02*

When iOS 13 came in. Y’all updated your program. Everything worked as it should, But now (even after a reset and erase and redos load...) all text are missing, buttons missing, main screen is black. Totally unable to view and use. 
Would you mind taking a look at your coding? Possible typo involved.

### 4/5 — Can’t wait for Zenikar Rising.

*2020-09-19*

Hope the card database this app pulls from gets updated soon.  Otherwise I think it is a sweet app

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-08-03*

I have made over 20 decks on this app, a little strict on card names but still very good.

### 1/5 — No response to inquiries

*2020-07-24*

I sent 3 requests wondering when they were going to update the app for Core 2021 and Jumpstart. Received no response. Horrible customer service experience 
Too bad because I really do like the app.

### 5/5 — Best Simple Deck App

*2020-04-21*

Great for deck building!!! Simple and user friendly. I think the only necessary addition is a separation of non-creature spells for an easier viewing! Otherwise 5stars all the way!

### 3/5 — It’s pretty good

*2020-04-20*

I like the options, I just wish they’d add pioneer formatw

### 5/5 — Amazing Tool

*2019-11-26, version 1.2.0*

This app is helpful, simple, and with no in-app purchases!
I would recommend this to anybody who plays Magic.

### 5/5 — Best app for deckbuilding

*2019-08-17, version 1.2.0*

Simple, intuitive, works great, and most importantly: it's up to date! Also, it's free. I couldn't ask for more!

### 4/5 — It’s Fine

*2019-05-08*

Short on features, but functional
