It can keep track of your decks W:L and you can set up games as well. It’s a super useful resource for looking at all your cards and for keeping track of your possible additions for decks as well! You can also use this app to calculate CMC, you can get sample hands to check how it might play as well! I’ve had this app for a long time now and over the years the app has grown and gotten better and better. It went from a simple deck builder and life counter app to a really really great resource for any magic player! ### 5/5 — 👍🏻👍🏻 *2021-06-11, version 3.5.0* Love it. ### 5/5 — F***ing love using this app *2021-05-07, version 3.3.3* The app is the best. I regularly make decks for MTG and this app makes it so easy. Also the developer/developers (tbh idk I’m sorry) are super transparent, nice, and very quick to respond to possible glitches in the system that are reported. Keep up the awesome work. ### 5/5 — ALL IN ONE APP *2021-03-13, version 2.26.0* need I say more? it is free! download it and try it out! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-02-17, version 2.26.0* Fantastic for someone who has a lot of decks and wants to keep track on their performance. ### 5/5 — Pretty great *2020-12-11, version 2.50.0* Awesome mtg app just wish they had the value of the cards as well other than that it’s pretty good ### 5/5 — Nice tool *2020-09-16, version 2.18.0* Would be even more awesome, if you could draw sample hands and test your decks ### 5/5 — Best life tracking app *2020-02-23, version 2.6.0* Amazing app easy to find friends and quick. Great counters. SCOTT please make this work for the iPad pro in next update please! When I load it on the iPad the app is very small. Probably smaller then if with my iPhone 11pro. I love this app! ### 5/5 — Playing with power *2020-01-19, version 2.3.0* Subscribe to playing with power ### 5/5 — Innovative and Fun *2019-10-25, version 1.4.0* I play a lot of commander with my friends, and it's super nice to know who's been winning games for sure. It also offers fun cosmetic options like card art behind the counter and an online discord where you can ask for help directly from the developers. All in all its a must-have app for all magic players! ### 5/5 — best MTG life + deck tracker *2019-09-07, version 1.1.0* Testing it for a while with our group and it’s awesome! Gives us a lot of data about how the meta is and how decks are performing over time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Create an account? No thanks. *2021-11-07, version 3.6.0* Downloaded, saw a registration screen, deleted. ### 1/5 — iOS 14 and up? *2020-09-20, version 2.19.0* I have a jail broken phone (13.5). Thanks for ruining the app. Later!!! ### 1/5 — Remove the scrolling on the board *2020-09-16, version 2.18.0* We love this app truly but the fact that the board scrolls everytime we move the life or add counters it moves, after 50 games we’ve all been losing it just from that small annoyance. Having an option for locking will be appreciated. Also the other play group is looking forward to the Android release. Other than that this deserves 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Just want to track wins *2023-12-30, version 3.7.2* Man I would love to be able to just track wins/loses against my friend without them having an account. Why cant I just create a small statistic? Or why cant I just add wins / losses without having to create a new game? ### 3/5 — Good but needs improvement *2019-10-24, version 1.4.0* Love the idea of the app but wish it had more options like adding friends who don’t use the app to games and adding full deck lists. Look forward to see what comes in the future. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Love it but.., *2020-05-19, version 2.8.0* I love the idea and how clean the app is. You can quickly and easily make decks and get into games, but you should add a feature to track win/loss ratios in a way where you don’t have to start an send a game. Just a simple button inside then deck menu would do. I say this if someone such as I plays on Arena or prefers dice. Great app otherwise ### 4/5 — A slight annoyance *2020-01-27, version 2.3.0* I love the app. The ability to know which of my decks perform consistently is very nice, however I did notice something. If I play a match and borrow someone a deck, and represent that by adding both decks to the match, it only lets me select one of the two as the winner even though the one not shown is the winner. It also doesn’t track the game in the win-rate for the deck not shown. ### 4/5 — Offline functionality *2020-01-09, version 2.3.0* Since the play store does not have this app (apk sideload only) it would be a huge help if we could change the name of “Player 2” manually. I tried putting my friends decks on my list but it automatically changes the losing player to “Player 2” since I guess the app doesn’t track stats when you play “against yourself”. ### 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 ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great Magic the Gathering app *2022-01-22, version 3.6.0* Great for storing and tuning all my deck lists. I can goldfish, track all my games, follow friends and the life counter is 👌🏻 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
