### 4/5 — Super awesome.

*2026-08-20, version 4.1.12*

Love this app, has been super helpful. Bout the only reason I can’t justify five stars is there is some ease of use I think they could do to the app to streamline some of the features of deck building on it.

### 5/5 — Fast schon perfekt

*2026-08-20*

An und für sich ist die ManaBox wirklich eine top App für Magic: The Gathering. Die Bedienung ist übersichtlich, alles läuft bei mir schnell, sauber und problemlos. Gerade für die Verwaltung und Übersicht der eigenen Sammlung und Decks finde ich die App wirklich gelungen.

Was mir persönlich noch fehlen würde, wäre eine integrierte Möglichkeit, direkt ein Spiel zu eröffnen bzw. zu verfolgen – am besten für möglichst viele bzw. alle gängigen Formate und mit frei wählbarer Spieleranzahl.

Besonders cool fände ich es, wenn man dabei sein eigenes Deck auswählen könnte und dieses dann während des Spiels im Hintergrund bzw. auf dem Spielfeld angezeigt wird – bei Commander natürlich inklusive des eigenen Commanders.

Noch besser wäre eine Spielstatistik, bei der man sehen kann, wie oft man mit einem bestimmten Deck bzw. Commander gewonnen hat und vielleicht sogar, in welcher Runde man das Spiel gewonnen oder verloren hat. So könnte man langfristig nachvollziehen, welche Decks und Commander tatsächlich am erfolgreichsten sind.

Das wäre für mich eine richtig starke Erweiterung der App und würde ManaBox noch deutlich interessanter machen. Insgesamt aber schon jetzt eine sehr gute und zuverlässige App, die ich gerne nutze! 👍

### 4/5 — Please don’t do this.

*2026-08-18, version 4.1.12*

This app has been integral in keeping up with my mtg collection. Literally thousands of scans. I’ve enjoyed this app enough to even happily pay for the pro version. Now even with pro version, there’s ads. I hardly ever actually leave a review, but this felt pressing enough. Please change this. I’d hate to learn a new system, but I refuse to pay for ads.

### 5/5 — Amazing MtG app!

*2026-08-15, version 4.1.12*

The ability to scan the cards is so great! I can add them into collections and organize and see their worth. Highly recommend this app for MtG players!

### 1/5 — Scanner isn’t effective

*2026-08-13*

The scanner doesn’t work with black cards. It’s super annoying.

**Developer response:** Hi! Sorry you're having this issue. Could you send us a short video showing the problem at manabox@skilldevs.com? Make sure to scan on a plain background (like a white sheet), with good lighting and no glare or shadows, this helps the scanner detect card edges accurately.

### 1/5 — Raaaa im angry

*2026-08-13, version 4.1.12*

I actually have no problem with manabox i actually love it a lot but i thought this was a good way to get the creators attention(and once its noticed i will imediatley set it to 5 stars) I just think that there should be a feature with sets or decks were you can look at the set only including or excluding the cards you do or dont hve pls add this great app otherwise

### 5/5 — Stupendous App

*2026-08-13*

Absolutely fantastic app. Such a useful way for me to record my collection as a new player. 
Couldn’t be more impressed with the scan feature - it’s quick and accurate. Many apps limit you to a certain number of scans that make them unusable.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2026-08-12, version 4.1.12*

I use it to track my entire collection. Flawless syncing across multiple devices. Easy exports and shares. The best.

### 1/5 — Disable ManaBox

*2026-08-09, version 4.1.12*

Can you please add the setting to skip the “ManaBox” logo intro? It’s unnecessarily similar to booting a console or PC and even longer than it used to be. I can understand the first time you install it but beyond that, why?

### 4/5 — Initial impressions

*2026-08-02*

Have been using for a few weeks now and it’s been doing ok. The scan feature is what brought me to this app (I had been using “Decked”). I have a lot of cards to work through and the scanner feature is helpful, it’s not saving as much time as I had hoped. My biggest issue is the inability to determine set, it rarely assigns the correct set to the card scanned. It also won’t scan multiple of the same card back to back, I have to scan a different card or at least different artwork. It also doesn’t identify most foils unless it’s a unique promo art. I have found the error rate in identifying the card scanned has been very low, and I have always been able to find the set in the drop down box. So while it is a useful app it still requires a lot of micro adjustments after scanning.
