I hope MTG drops this garbage. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2025-09-26* None of the registration links work ### 1/5 — :/ *2025-06-22, version 10.0.0* So unhelpful and buggy. All of the links are 404ing. ### 1/5 — pretty much useless *2025-02-21* There are still test entries on the app days before the convention, using the same app for every magic con doesn’t make sense. Tried to select a button and the app gave me an error telling me to update- there’s no update to be had. Why do I have to have three or more separate accounts to participate in this convention? Wizards needs to step it up ### 1/5 — Needs more attention *2025-02-15* MagicCon Chicago is in less than one week and the app STILL isn't updated. This is extremely inconvenient and unprofessional as every other convention I attend during the year has their app ready to go the minute badges and passes are ready to go. We can't access all of our events until this is done. This needs more attention paid to it. ### 1/5 — Wasn’t updated or won’t update *2024-06-28* I am at MagicCon Amsterdam. I followed the link to download the app from the MagicCon Amsterdam website. Its even called MagicCon Amsterdam in the App Store. It’s the end of June. The app is still displaying the info from MagicCon Chicago in March and I can’t find any way to make it update to MagicCon Amsterdam. Giving me info for an event that happened months ago instead of into for the event I am at now makes this absolutely useless. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-10-30* This app sucked doesn’t connect to anything nor work well ### 1/5 — Wow this is useless *2022-10-23* I can’t use this app to log into my wizards or growtix account to see/track tournaments? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What a mess of an App *2026-07-15* Honestly, what a mess ### 1/5 — Badge activation *2026-05-01* It’s the night before the convention and I’m still getting plus update app errors come on is it this dumb ### 1/5 — Why can’t we fix the easy things *2026-05-01* App keeps crashing, didn’t register badge, tried to re-activate badge, error message. ### 1/5 — Very Frustrated *2026-05-01* The survey question section having a third option that said “do share” immediately after having two options that say “do not” is a problem. I ended up opting to share my contact information when I did not want to because I read it as “do not share”. It is also ridiculous to REQUIRE an app for an event with a badge. What is the point of the badge? ### 1/5 — Hot trash *2026-04-30, version 12.2.0* Wish they put some effort into this app. Disappointment. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-04-23* Activating a badge should not be this annoying ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-04-23* Barcode did nothing. Events purchases don't show up in app. Frustrating!! ### 1/5 — Sad *2026-04-22, version 12.2.0* Doesn’t work, can’t activate badge ### 1/5 — :( *2026-04-18, version 12.2.0* Doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — Not able to add youth badges and take college quiz *2026-04-18* Cannot add youth accounts and then cannot take college quiz which they ask about daily. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Does what it needs to do. *2025-09-24* It shows artists, times, and much more! ### 5/5 — Me gusta *2023-09-07, version 4.0.0* muy fácil de usar ### 5/5 — MTG30 *2022-10-27* Nice to see the artists and event schedule. Do wish the app linked to the badges so we could track what we are signed up for though. ### 4/5 — Not so User Friendly *2025-06-20* While the app ultimately becomes user friendly, it should load the events you’ve already paid for into your schedule as soon as you input your badge information ### 2/5 — Tuff *2026-05-05* Very laggy app. If you did not have the lotus badge you are waiting in lines and don’t get merch you want ### 2/5 — Merchandise store disappointment *2026-05-04* My husband got to the venue before it opened, was one of the first in line for the store. Waited 3 hours in line. The TV monitors never updated on what was sold out. 3 hours into the second day most everything was gone. He wasn’t able to buy over half the items. They said to come back the next day for their daily allotment. On the third day the line was even more disappointing. By the first hour most of it was gone. I get not wanting to have leftover merchandise but this was ridiculous. The VIP and specialty groups like Black Lotus should have had their own store with their daily allowance and another for the general public. We live with technology- there should have been an inventory counter will real time updates. It’s possible especially with how large the event was, totally doable. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
