If you liked it now, consider increasing the stars :). ### 2/5 — Not ideal in UK. *2025-01-26, version 1.1.5* I like the idea, I’ve managed to scan some items. I get all the info in $. If there is a setting for £ then great, but I can’t see it. It literally specifies for any currency in one of the images, but then shows all images as dollars. If an app is available in a certain country, it should at the very least have settings applicable to it. I’m glad I haven’t paid, as I would ask for a refund. Hopefully if there are hidden settings they will be made more accessible and if not added soon. ### 4/5 — ’d Cards *2025-01-02* This app is great overall. One challenge with cards that are #’d as part of a limited production is that the number is almost always embossed on the back. There is not yet a way I have found to take a photo of each side of the card to have both the face and serialized # analyzed. ### 4/5 — Impressive *2025-01-02* The AI pricing is really great and seems promising. The app doesn’t have sub categories to set identifying pre owned or NWT. I’d like to see an option to see Sell Through Rates for items or identifying whether it’s a searched or trending item. Just some ideas to help users understand that suggested prices aren’t what items ACTUALLY sell for. ### 1/5 — Don't work *2025-01-02* It is impossible to subscribe. It doesn't work. It just doesn't happen. it's like a free lifetime subscription, but in the end it's impossible to buy. Made specifically to entice you to download the app. The scammers are freaking out. ### 1/5 — Cannot purchase lifetime *2025-01-01* Selecting lifetime and pressing continue doesn’t bring up FaceID payment. **Developer response:** 10000 users yesterday were able to and you weren’t. I would question if you have issues. And thanks for leaving 1 star for people working hard. ### 2/5 — Good concept *2025-01-01* Good concept, but unfortunately doesn’t work for us in the UK or anywhere else around the world ### 1/5 — Scam app *2025-01-01* Once you download this scam app, it will refuse to let you onboard. Will refuse to function. And will hang after forcing you to take a photo. It’s a scam! **Developer response:** 10000 users yesterday were able to and you weren’t. I would question if you have issues. And thanks for leaving 1 star for people working hard. ### 5/5 — Scan of George lll 1797Sovereign *2025-01-01* Says it was a Victorian one! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Collection *2026-07-02, version 2.9.59* Sucks in the first 2 mins. Just wanted to scan my cards and create a log. Not user friendly….we will see how it goes. ### 1/5 — Rough *2026-06-23* When it’s working it’s great.. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work often. I’ve had consistent issues with the app crashing while scanning cards and not saving data. Today, the app crashed again while I was scanning and cards but this time my entire inventory was removed from my collection despite still taking up 7GB of memory?? There’s potential for improvement but not worth paying money for yet **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. We are working on improving reliability and sorry to hear about the issues! ### 1/5 — Misinformed *2026-04-26, version 2.9.24* I signed up to get 3 days. I only got 3 scans. ### 1/5 — Pay to do most things *2026-04-14* You can’t even upload a deck without a subscription. Complete joke. ### 1/5 — Bad businessman *2026-03-29, version 2.9.9* Customer had concerns and issues. Rated one star, got it fixed, and changed to five stars. Developers responded negatively and will be uninstalling. $6.99/ week is also not going to work. Devs: use feedback to get better, rather than blaming users. Don’t bother responding to this if you can’t be civil. $27.96 per month isn’t doing your app any favors either. Thank you and have a wonderful day. ### 1/5 — Odd *2026-03-06* Why is an update showing up here? I have never downloaded this app? I checked. ### 1/5 — Does not meet my need *2025-11-06, version 1.3* The prices and identification are not consistent with true market values ### 1/5 — You only get one free scan.. *2025-06-03* Unless you pay monthly it’ll only let you see the info of a single card. It’ll let you scan multiple, but it’ll only give you the name of the card like it’s not already on there. If it’s not free don’t market it like it is, it’s deceptive and a waste of everyone’s time ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-02-26* This app is no longer functioning. The developer responds aggressively to reviews on the App Store. I removed my initial comment out of consideration, but this app appears to fall short of its promises. With all due respect, I am simply exercising my right to express my opinion. This app isn’t worth retaining. I have deleted it until it gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Cannot purchase lifetime *2025-01-14, version 1.1.5* Selecting lifetime and pressing continue doesn’t bring up FaceID payment. Developer gives attitude instead of trying to resolve issue. Claims 10000 people were able to get free lifetime but only 64 reviews and some of those indicate same issue. Poor customer support. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best MTG App Hands Down *2026-08-27* This app is INCREDIBLE for Magic card collecting and pricing. The developer is super responsive and collaborative with resolving issues and adding new features. I love the leaderboards and checking out other people’s collections. New sets are added well ahead of release and the card art is top notch. I quit using ManaBox and haven’t looked back. He’s always adding new features and updates are swift and regular. Lifetime pass? Yes, take my money!!! If you are a serious MTG collector, player, or investor, THIS IS THE ONLY APP YOU NEED. Trust me. And it will only get better! Thanks!!! ### 5/5 — Great way to keep collection *2026-08-22* Allows you to import decks you’ve built from other websites, but I’m still trying to figure out how to carry over the correct printings, the scanning function works great! Missing a few older printings of basic lands which is keeping me from completing a few of my decks, but those cards are the least of my cost tracking worries and I’m sure these issues will be patched up in no time. ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-04-26* I like this app it’s super fast at uploading and I like that it hasn’t put a restriction on the number of uploads I can do plus it uploads all the info for me I like that I don’t have to individually add the info on each card like TCG, although it would be helpful if I could upload mass cards at once, pls lmk if that’s a possibility as I have hundreds of thousands of cards to upload **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. Yes! You can bulk upload from csv or pdf from the inventory page, top right import button. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-04-25* Keeps my collection up to date price wise The scanner is super accurate Definitely recommend this over other magic the gathering inventory apps ### 5/5 — Very nice! *2025-09-08* I was looking for an app that scans pokemon cards bcs I Needed to scan all My rare cards. ### 5/5 — Pretty handy *2025-05-15* Very creative app and it’s got a pretty good accuracy on identifying objects and locating prices. I think an area for improvement would be to be able to click on one of the prices to open up the corresponding merchant. ### 5/5 — Mustang hat *2025-04-23, version 1.1.6* Very very helpful ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2025-01-16* Autographs can be hard, but it’s on-spot with the more solid things ### 5/5 — Scam? *2025-01-03* Premium version is supposed to be FREE today, but when trying to click continue it doesn’t do anything. When clicking on support, it goes to other apps. ??!!!! Update: Somehow, a while after my one star review, the continue button started working. The app is now working. I’m using latest iOS on iPhone 13 Pro Max. **Developer response:** 10000 users yesterday were able to and you weren’t. I would question if you have issues. And thanks for leaving 1 star for people working hard. ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2025-01-03* This app is a must have for any type of collector or seller. It doesn’t just find one CURRENT price listing for an item, but THREE. I tried various of a 100 way different items and it found what ever I was looking for every time. I have spent years trying to find an app that can do what this does. Forever thankful. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
