Unstable
I paid for this app and this version has become very unstable. Constantly crashes after opening. I’m not keen to download and pay for a new app then have to add everything again. Please fix the stability of this paid app.
App keeps crashing
App keeps crashing when I open it sometimes it works sometimes it crashes I have to open it multiple times for it to work and then eventually it crashes and I have to open it again very disappointed
Unable to search cards by type
Search didnt work very well. Too many taps to add to deck
SCAM
I already purchased premium on this app for 8 dollars and now it’s asking for me to make the purchase again. Total scam and very slimy. The restore purchase button doesn’t work.
Do Not Buy.
The dev has abandoned this app and released a new one, basically throwing all previous purchasers of the “lifetime” feature upgrades under the bus.
scam
paid for lifetime...
"blah blah... development is costly... blah blah new features... blah blah... legacy still functions same..

Slow with the upgrade
Ever since I bought the upgrade, the app has been awfully slow. The camera takes forever to lock on to the card, the app takes forever to show all the sets when I need to change it…
It was far more efficient before I bought the upgrade…

Sneaky theft.
“Why my purchases from the Legacy app are not restored on the new app?”
“As mentioned above, the Legacy app will continue to work normally, as is, so your purchases are and will always be yours. With that being said, by AppStore rules purchases cannot be carried over between apps. In case the new app has value to you, items will need to be purchased separately.”
This is their way of stealing from you. I bought a lifetime version of the app then they make a new version of the app to get more purchases for new features and blame Apple. They could’ve just updated this one. So now I need to buy the “lifetime version” of the new app. Then they’ll make a new app with new features and want us to buy that too. Fool me once I guess. I won’t buy anything else from this developer. Thanks for lying about a lifetime
App. By the way the new app has lifetime feature you can buy.
Why not just charge more in the first place? At least I wouldn’t have to buy a new version. Buy a new “lifetime” purchase. And migrate all my previous work?

Just makes you keep paying
Bought the app, then an update locked the import/export features behind an additional paywall. After this they stopped supporting the app and released a “new version” that you yet again have to pay for. Good app, but steer clear unless you like to have to keep shelling out as they lock new features behind more and more money

Amazing!
I don’t know what I’d do without this app. I have over 11 thousand cards and this makes it a breeze to search through them.
Great for storage and scanning. Just wish it had a few quality of life features.
A friend showed me this app and after I got it I’ve never looked back. The scanner and storage system is near perfect in my opinion. I have a broken camera and it still works.
My only wish is that I wish it had a feature where you could search your collection for cards that do certain things, like a scryfall search engine. Something that would allow me to search my entire inventory for certain effects rather than having to find cards online, learn their name, then see if I have them. If a feature like that came out, it would be an instant 5 stars.

Cash grab by developer
Good years ago but has been outstripped by competitors in accuracy, speed and features. The developer was willing to take your cash for it but has abandoned it to make a “newer” app you have to pay for again. There are better alternatives out there.
Price database doesn’t work anymore
I understand that the developer has moved on to a new version of this app, but that was pretty recently and already things are starting to break in the old app. For example, most of my collection currently has price: ? Instead of a value, and over the last few days the number of cards with a price has continued to decline.

Cash Grab
Dev has retired this app so they can sell you the same IAP again in the new one.
Perfect app
I love it !!!!!
Dev cannot be trusted
Claims once-off ‘lifetime access’ to features, then drops support, replaces with a new version, and refuses to honour previous purchases.
Beautiful MTG card scanner
Amazing job with this app. It is just beautiful!
Great app but lacks a few features
Definitely worth the price for unlimited scanning and advanced CSV export. We have thousands of MtG cards so it saved a TON of time getting our cards categorised. There are a couple improvements that would cause me to five-star it: 1. A “select all” button when moving/deleting. You have to select each card one-by-one to move or delete. 2. Recognise the set symbol when scanning. It only gets the set right about 50% of the time, so you spend extra time after each scan searching and selecting the right set, which adds up tremendously when scanning a large amount of cards. I get that pre-6th edition there weren’t set symbols, so obviously not those. 3. Scan into different binders. All my scans go to Owned Cards, and although I can move cards into binders, they don’t actually move out of Owned Cards. It would be nice if they did, and it would be even nicer if I could scan directly into a binder. Still, I’d recco this app every time. A solid buy.

Sorting is completely broken
The scanner works, but the sorting options are complete gibberish. Sort by rarity? Ok! Obviously the order by rarity is common, mythic, rare, uncommon… what??? The rarity sort is literally by the *alphabetical* order of the names of the rarities. Complete nonsense. Same with things like sorting by color. Definitely not WUBRG order.
Go ahead and use this to scan your cards easily, but then for your own sanity immediately export them to another app where you have ways to manage your collection which actually make sense.

Easily the best scanning app out there
I've used Helvault for years now, and I've tested just about every scanner for iOS and desktop. This is the one. I don't often spend money on apps, but I bought both the lifetime scanner and the advanced CSV export, and don't regret it one bit. I use the app at least once a week, and highly recommend it to anyone on iOS that comes asking about scanners.
