### 2/5 — Getting better and worse.

*2026-08-18, version 1.11.65*

App is getting much better for use in tournaments and finding events but the prevalence of advertisements is increasing enough to outweigh the improvements.

### 2/5 — Game tracker still needs work

*2026-08-13, version 1.11.54*

My review is related to the commander game tracker & tournaments hosting interface.

Commander Game Tracker;
it tracks commander damage. Has the basic life tracker also. The commander game tracker screen has too many buttons. other apps like this solve that by having nested interfaces. 

Tournaments hosting; 
For 1v1 formats the interface is sufficient. There is not as of 13AUG2026 a commander tournament hosting interface.

### 3/5 — Constant Notifications

*2026-08-10, version 1.11.54*

This app tries to sell me products constantly; even after disabling notifications and setting wizards website for no communications about new products. 

Besides that it works most of the time, unless it’s a pre-release or something else popular.

### 3/5 — Review for stores?

*2026-08-09, version 1.11.54*

Where can I review games?

### 3/5 — good but

*2026-07-10, version 1.11.33*

1) create a macOS version of the app
2) localize the app in italian. completely.
3) on the draft, insert the possibility to select the number of turns (3 turns is not enough for draft with 6-8 players)

thanks

### 4/5 — Cards not in the system

*2026-06-20, version 1.11.21*

Super convenient for deck building but I don’t understand why secret lair cards don’t show up in the database and some of the options in the advanced search don’t yield any results, such as rooms.

### 2/5 — I can’t log in

*2026-06-06, version 1.11.17*

I’ve been using the app for years but it won’t let me log in now. I deleted and redownloaded the app and it is still broken

### 2/5 — Connexion impossible avec alias « + »

*2026-05-27*

L’application doit être très bien mais impossible de se connecter si le mail du compte utilise un alias « + », pas de souci avec Arena ou le site.

### 3/5 — Issue with locator

*2026-05-16, version 1.11.16*

Every time I open the app and I go to the locator, nothing appears. I have to close the app and immediately reopen the app, go to the locator, and only then Will shops and events show up. Can you fix this?

### 2/5 — wish is was better

*2026-05-13, version 1.11.16*

navigation is clunky and unintuitive, frequently lags out loading matches etc. could be great with some focus on the tournament / play features.

### 4/5 — Restore Card Versions

*2026-05-09, version 1.11.12*

Why in the world would you make the app have less functionality? I really miss seeing all versions of a card once I have looked it up. Bring that feature back. 

Also, in advance search allow users to quickly filter out digital only versions.

### 1/5 — Cant log in

*2026-05-01, version 1.11.12*

Still cant log in due to issues with the app. I can log in to every other service just fine even after multiple password resets

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Petty

*2026-08-23, version 1.11.65*

I didn’t win first in the draft I played. But actually download this app. It cool.

### 1/5 — Horrible like their production team

*2026-08-11, version 1.11.54*

App is a waste of time and does little to nothing, similar to the production team since they can’t get product to stores on release.

### 1/5 — Kartensuche funktioniert nicht.

*2026-07-19*

Ich kann nicht mehr über die kartensuche nach kreaturentypensortieren. Es werden immer alle Karten angezeigt.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-07-14, version 1.11.33*

Your latest update literally broke the search feature. Searching up “turn” just gives 88 cards that are either rooms or split cards. You can tell me those are the only cards in the entire database that say turn. There are other examples, but why does everything break when it gets updated? Just delete old files, stop leaving app breaking unnecessary bs in the code files.

### 1/5 — Filtro não funciona

*2026-06-15*

Você coloca os filtros para procurar cards e eles não funcionam

### 1/5 — Recognize Your Union

*2026-05-28, version 1.11.17*

Wizards companion app is not a great app. Crashes a bit but the real issue is wizards of the coast would rather pay for union busters rather than invest into their work force

### 1/5 — Can’t Log In

*2026-05-16, version 1.11.16*

I’m at the Regional Championship attempting to play side events and I cannot log in to the app. When I enter my username and password it very briefly loads and then nothing happens. This app ruined my day.

### 1/5 — Da bastante pena

*2026-05-08, version 1.11.12*

Para ser la aplicación que se usa en todos los torneos cada dos por tres las nuevas actualizaciones traen bugs que no te permiten entrar o te echan d ellos eventos etc. Sobretodo en IOS si tienes iPhone prepárate para una experiencia lamentable.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me login

*2026-05-08, version 1.11.12*

I’ll type in my email and password, tap the login button, nothing happens. I’ve reset my password too, nothing changes and I always get the same result. There was supposed to be an update in order to fix it, got the update and nothing happened, login still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Barely able to use it

*2026-05-05, version 1.11.12*

Every time I try to launch the app after participating in my first In person event the app opens into the Play tab and goes into loops trying to load the last match of the event, might be unable to participate in future events if it’s not fixed.

### 5/5 — Redjeep8901

*2026-08-09, version 1.11.54*

Great shop and app

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-09, version 1.11.54*

I had such a blast playing cards!!!

### 5/5 — Great fun with friends or alone

*2026-08-08, version 1.11.54*

Went to my first pre-release and really first ever event in general to play IRL magic for my first time for the hobbit pre-release was super fun other then some drama at the shop not the apps fault!

### 5/5 — Good App, with plenty of features.

*2026-08-01, version 1.11.54*

I consider my self a modern person and this app is easy enough to navigate. As of have no suggestions on how to improve it.

### 5/5 — It just works.

*2026-07-25, version 1.11.53*

It’s great for the life tracker and rules alone. The ability to look up individual cards by mechanics is so useful. I’d give it a 6 star rating if I could. It’s a no brainer.

### 5/5 — Works Perfect

*2026-07-24, version 1.11.53*

Great app. I use it to look up cards for playing with weird interactions as well as deck building. It also shows new card releases and events. Would recommend.

### 5/5 — Yuva

*2026-06-10, version 1.11.17*

Was really fun staff and owners are always nice

### 5/5 — 不具合

*2026-05-30*

勝った時に敗北って出るのをやめて欲しい

### 5/5 — Indespensible

*2026-04-19, version 1.11.7*

This is the official app, and it’s pretty seamless. Signing not events, life tracker, it all just works.

### 5/5 — Messy

*2026-04-18, version 1.11.7*

Messy layout.  Frequent redirects to websites, added to a mail list.. I just want to register for my local game.. why all the trickery?
