### 5/5 — My thoughts

*2026-07-16, version 3.7.2*

It’s a cool app wish I could scan cars to make it easier to add the decks

### 4/5 — Great app, just needs a little work around the edges

*2026-01-14, version 3.7.2*

I’ve been using this app for maybe 4 years now and I can say it’s pretty great as a deck builder and life tracker. The few notes I have for it right now is I wish the search engine didn’t require the typing to be so precise, you have to type in the card exactly otherwise there’s no chance of it showing up. The general load time for cards also takes awhile. It would also be nice to see the price of the cards but that’s just a quality of life feature. Finally with card scanners becoming more prevalent it would also be nice if it had a function to scan cards in deck building.

### 5/5 — Preferred MTG app

*2025-06-21, version 3.7.2*

I’ve spent the last couple weeks looking for an app for Mtg to track player profiles, all time match records, life tracker and decks. This is the only one I’ve found that covers all 3 and does them pretty well. Add in Android support and tournament bracket and deeper stat tracking in this app will be by far the best.

### 5/5 — Dead app

*2024-03-12, version 3.7.2*

This was the app I wanted for all my mtg life. I even was telling my android friends about it. But it seems the developers have given up. Still worth a download though.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-01-13, version 3.7.2*

Wish I could leave notes about each deck (or even better, individual cards).  Please add in-app purchases for donations. You two guys deserve them. I mean, at least let me buy you a cup of coffee.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2023-12-03, version 3.7.2*

I really love this app - it’s like having your whole collection in your pocket. It’s useful for deck design and super handy for tracking both during and in between games. On top of that, there’s an active discord community and the dev team is super responsive.

### 5/5 — Absolutely love it

*2023-06-20, version 3.7.1*

Have been using Gauntlet for years.

### 5/5 — Just need to add some of the play test cards

*2023-03-13, version 3.6.0*

The app is good and all but as someone who like to have all the Planeswalker I wish the play test walkers were add for my fun decks to be add to this app

### 5/5 — Best deck builder ever

*2022-12-12, version 3.6.0*

I have been using gauntlet for a few years now, it’s phenomenal. Seeing the images of the cards set out as they are, makes deck building much easier. The game life total tracker is great too, on par with life linker and the companion app. All of this and more for free? It’s great. I only wish the exporting of decks to text was laid out better.

9.5/10 it’s free you won’t be disappointed

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-06-06, version 3.6.0*

I’ve probably tried every MtG app in the Apple Market by not and this one has been my go to app for tracking and building my decks for a couple years now. 

This app also is awesome when playing in a league, or just causally, with friends since it automatically can keep track of your win lose record for each player entered into the game.
