I agree with some of the other reviewers that the Search functions could be improved, but it appears that the developers have made forward progress and are listening to users. I appreciate being able to save lists and searches. Overall easy to use and plenty of insights into Magic history and deck building. ### 5/5 — Neat *2026-06-13, version 2026.24* Lots of info on all the cards ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2026-06-11, version 2026.24* Great app :) ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-06-10, version 2026.24* Solid app. Great information on the cards! ### 5/5 — Great MTG app *2026-06-07, version 2026.24* Love using this MTG magic the gathering card database app! Great app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Locked behind paywall *2025-05-06, version 2022.3* They have entire sets locked behind a pay wall not worth the download ### 1/5 — Very limited advanced search *2024-12-15, version 2022.3* Cant even select a color. The color criteria in the advanced search is grayed out ### 1/5 — Ruined by greed *2024-12-10, version 2022.3* Just goes to show how certain genres should never use subscriptions. It makes no sense and it ruined all the good faith users of this app once had. ### 1/5 — Stupid.... *2020-05-09, version 2020.03* How was the easiest method for sorting cards, like sorting by color, not put into this app? Wow... I also went to the settings to try and modify the search criteria by clicking on a box as if to say “Use this method with my search” but when I tried to take away the check mark in the box, it wouldn’t go away. In fact I checked all the boxes to test it out and none of them could be “un-checked”. Fix it for a better rating. ### 1/5 — Undesirable *2020-03-14, version 2020.03* This app is borderline useless if you don’t know exactly what you are looking for, and even worse, you can’t search for cards that fit well with your library unless you know every single card. But if you know every card, then you don’t need a familiar. On too of that, even if you do know exactly what you are looking for, it’s Russian roulette whether or not it will even be included in the database. You might as well just search on Safari for cards ### 1/5 — Needs updating urgently *2019-09-13, version 2019.06.21* M20 has been issued and Throne of Eldraine coming at end of the month. That’s almost two full sets missing!! ### 1/5 — Outdated *2019-01-05, version 2.0.16* Outdated Outdated Outdated Outdated Outdated Outdated Outdated Outdated Outdated Outdated Outdated Outdated ### 1/5 — All kinds of wrong *2018-06-14, version 2.0.6* Cumbersome layout that uses way too much cache and showcases unnecessary pictures of the same cards . Incredibly inaccurate and misleading snob pricing for thousands of cards. Missing an incredulous amount of cards and about as user friendly as a fork in a toaster. The pricing for this app is absolutely unwarranted and would be laughable if it wasn’t downright sinister. I have never seen such a travesty of a collectors mtg database on IOS and android combined for the entire history of application availability. ### 1/5 — This is crap! *2017-07-09, version 1.53* Installed it, opened it once and deleted it immediately! ### 1/5 — Out of Date *2017-07-06, version 1.53* Very out of date and some of the cards I have from 2016 aren't even showing up in a search; one did and the app required an upgrade for $4.99, just to be able to access it. Why would I pay $4.99 when it seems like most of the cards I have from this set aren't even in the database full stop? By the looks of the description, the app hasn't been updated since February/March 2016, so I doubt the developers are maintaining it anymore. Be aware of that fact before paying the $5 to upgrade! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — CEO *2026-09-07, version 2026.24* Great collection tool for magic ### 5/5 — Nice app *2026-08-21, version 2026.24* Its a great app for tcg collectors ### 5/5 — MTG Data 4 cards *2026-08-11, version 2026.24* Excellent database ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-11, version 2026.24* Works great ### 5/5 — 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 *2026-08-09, version 2026.24* Like in the good old times ### 5/5 — Guten Daten Bank *2026-08-04, version 2026.24* Gute Karten Daten Bank und Spiele Unterstützungskasse Werkzeug ### 5/5 — Utile. *2026-08-02, version 2026.24* Ottima applicazione. ### 5/5 — It does the job! *2026-07-31, version 2026.24* I have only had one problem seeing the pictures at first but then I have had no problems after that. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-30, version 2026.24* It’s good ### 5/5 — Newbie *2026-07-29, version 2026.24* Was looking for a was to track my collection and this database was perfect --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
