Very good tool to have

I’ve been using this app for a while now. It’s great. It has its quirks. But overall it’s very easy to use and a very useful tool to have. I highly recommend!

Horrible Scanner

Using proper lighting, a brand new iPhone, and a proper card scanner stand, and the app will not only not properly scan the cards correctly, but will also rapidly rescan hallucinated cards. The filters are absolutely atrocious. Find a better solution for cataloging your collection.

Amazing App

I rarely write reviews, but I wanted to go out of my way to express my gratitude for this app since I can’t afford the premium at the moment. It has the best, fastest scanner out of any I’ve tried. The UI is intuitive, gorgeous, and lightning fast. On top of all that can’t believe it’s FREE.

To the developer: please add support for other TCGs if possible. This would turn an excellent software into a near-perfect one.

Excellent!

Excellent! Once past the learning curve, it’s such smooth and practical organizing tool.

Fix the scanner

Literally half the time you go to scan in cards, it either does not scan in the correct card or it scans in the correct card, but not the correct set, oh or my personal favorite it just refuses to scan completely, no matter what surface or lighting level you have.
If you would just fix the scanner, make it more reliable and actually have it scanned the correct cards on the first try I can guarantee more people would use this app.

I shouldn’t have to fiddle with the camera and the lighting levels and the background for 15 minutes just to scan in one pack of cards, and that problem only multiplies when you’re trying to scan in several hundred cards and every moment I spend messing with the background of the lighting, trying to get it to scan just makes me want to manually type it all in or use another site…

Response from developer

We're really sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with the scanner! The scanner works based on the artwork of the card, but the detected set may not always match the one you are scanning. You can lock one or more sets in the scan tab settings. We are continuously working to improve the scanner so it can better isolate the card from the background. The higher the contrast between the card and the background, the better the recognition results. 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. If you encounter any other issues, please feel free to contact us at manabox@skilldevs.com. We’ll be happy to help!

it worked for all my loose cards but not my deck

most of my cards are from the final fantasy set and it seems to have some issues with that also very high battery usage when the scanner is open, and phone gets hot

Great app but….

Why wouldnt the app (when finishing a deck) have “use specific version” be the default option… i took the time to build it with the exact cards from my library ….why would i register it in my app any different way?!?!? Still a 5 star still a great app but that one little thing is soooo dumb now i have to go back through all my decks to see which exact card i have in it🙄🙄🙄🙄

Great app

The app is great and functional. Allows you to keep your decks mobile and you can build a deck right on your phone. Only thing, I wish I could create tags for decks independently of each other instead of all the tags being lumped in one. It makes the list unwieldy to sort through, especially when each deck only uses 3-4 tags. Otherwise, it’s a great app

Add to Deck

When using the Search functions to look for cards, and when viewing a specific card, the Add to Deck button doesn’t work. So you have to navigate to your specific deck and add the card you searched for via this tab. Seems like an elementary function that should be a bare minimum for this app….

Great app bad scanning

Everything but the scanning is great. It’s super picky and doesn’t work most times. Tells me to hit the screen to scan again and then doesn’t let me scan again when I do so

The PERFECT mtg app

Such an accessible UI; easy to build decks, goldfish them, catalogue and scan cards, and price check. I have tried many mtg apps in the past and this one solos all of them by far and away.

Not proper tcg pricing

Not proper tcg pricing

Vraiment cool!

Dépasse largement mes attentes et facile à utiliser.

Scanning cards

The card scanner needs to be fixed is my only complaint

Can’t export current prices

Spent weeks importing entire collection to find out it doesn’t export market price- only purchase price. That makes this app useless for anyone looking to export collections with current values. 0/10

Extra Motivation

Pretty cheap app especially at the year price which I paid, however the settings and ability to customize on a MAC are not worth the price at this point. When scanning cards I might as well use my printer when in reality I should just be able to use my stand and phone. The help only goes so far when you are using a Mac and you have no ability to do what it says you should be able to. Sooooo I challenge y’all to fix the minor inconvenience I have and I do know how grateful I am to complain about this minor issue in my life lol

Scanner is bad

The scanner is so bad to where just mainly typing it out is faster

Wtf

It gets every card wrong

Actually, a really good app! But read

It needs work

Super awesome.

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.
