Initial impressions
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.

Horribly Inconsistent
A. The camera selection is basically a useless feature. It can really only focus with one of the lenses.
B. It lacks autofocus pretty much at all cannot find the focus to save a life.
C. No optical or digital zoom, often the only lens that is suited for sacnning is the wide angle so the lack of ability to crop the viewing image is abyssmal.
D. It certainly works better with a white background but you had best hope there are no straight lines on or around your background because the app immediately becomes unusable if there is.
Its a shame because when it works it is great but it feels like consulting a horoscope half the time.

Best MTG app
This was the best app for helping me get back into MTG. It's super easy to use. I heavily rely on ManaBox to make my commander decks and the card prices are fairly accurate (I use TCGPlayer pricing). I love everything about this app and I cannot recommend it enough as someone that seldom writes reviews.

Scanner pretty bad
It mis-scans every other card for me. Too laborious to go back in and delete and correct all it’s mistakes. I’m going to try something else.
Good app with some missing features
This is my go to app for all my MTG related card searches, personal collection, and deck organizing.
I wish the app had 2 things added. One is a history option so you can see changes you’ve made. The second being the export feature needs to include the set each card is from.

Scanning sucks
The ability to scan is cool but the scanner through this app sucks. I’m on a iPhone 17 pro max, I’ve changed the lighting in the rooms, wiped the camera, pulled the cards from sleeves (the camera usually picks up with sleeves) but again the scanner sometimes just doesn’t scan no matter what I do and it just makes the whole process of adding cards an entire night mare

New set filter
Set filter after taking photo is another step that is unnecessary
Great, but…
I love this app as it was the first one I used when I was getting into Magic. Although, after getting into the community for about a year, I realized one thing the app needed to set this app apart. I’m convinced that if you add the ability to add and share customs in-app, this could be the greatest app for tracking Magic cards of all time. You could even add a checkbox in the deck creation menu to enable customs, but you wouldn’t be able to share the deck. Overall, great app. Keep up the good work!

Dodgy adds
The app is great and I’ve used it a lot for my magic collection but when I fat fingered an add on the screen it went to a safari page about a virus being added to my phone when it was an Amazon add so just be careful when navigating the app
Essential for any magic collection
Incredible depth to all the folder creation and sorting/filtering. Amazing way to build lists of cards you want to buy, and either export as a text list to your local LGS, or click buy in the list and automatically load your cart at CardKing or Manapool. My only complaint is the scanner doesn’t seem to be quite as stable as some other apps, and can start freaking out and blasting out false positives of random cards, especially when you’re trying to scan full arts and foils. But, overall, my collection would be complete chaos without this app.

must for scanning cards
don’t even think about it. just download it and scan a card.. great tool. thank you!
A beta sync enjoyer
Love all the new features, but the actual scanner aspect of the app sucks now. It worked better a year ago the last time I updated my collection. It can’t even get the card color right anymore. No I don’t own a million furby spellskites.
The BEST MTG card organization app!

Fast scanning that is pretty darn accurate in comparison to all the other apps out there?
Ultra-check!!
There’s no other current MTG app I need to keep up with my growing collection. It provides everything you need to know where you’re at with your cards, and helps you know where the median price is for cards that you own, or cards you are seeking to add to your MTG PC. I Always recommend this to any player that hasn’t discovered the app yet.
Thanks for the app! Keep up the awesome work!!

The Best
There is no way I could build any of the decks I want without this app. It’s provided me hours of deck making fun.
Best card scanner on the market
Works easy and when you get the hang of it… game changing. Scanned my whole collection in one night.
PC PLEASE

MUST have for MTG Players.
Amazing application for players! I use it to keep my catalogue of Cards that I have in my bulk all up to date & current.
Amazing interface, works a treat, and extremely easy to get the hang of. Has also helped me build some decks here and there!

You need it
I don’t write reviews often. But if you’re even considering this app, just download it. For free, it gives you so many features. Super easy to use.
I will be moving to the paid subscription even though I don’t need it right now, only because I love the app that much and I want to support it!

Exceptional Dev Support!
I started playing Magic during The Avatar Last Airbender Universes Beyond Release, and ManaBox has been my absolute favorite companion app to my new obsession.
In the past 6 months, they have added a crazy amount of new features. It feels like every month they are putting out an update that drastically improves the experience. Even when it feels close to perfect, they find something else to make it even better.
Devs are extremely responsive on their discord and seem to really listen to what individuals want from the app.
Can’t recommend enough. Totally worth the cost for the paid membership.

Surge Foils
I love the app very much and how up to date it is and easy to navigate. But I wish there was a way to add surge foil version of cards that are not separate serial numbers. Only way I am able to organize it, is by adding the card as a normal foil, even though it is surge. Thank you!
