Greedy Scam
Premium app no more
Now Paywalled.
Response from developer
I'm sorry you feel this way. I want to be upfront about why it happened: maintaining the app means ongoing costs I didn't have years ago: database updates, server hosting, and keeping up with each new iOS release. I've been supporting this app for every new magic set for 17 years. Paid-up-front sales weren't covering those costs anymore, so the choice was subscription or shutting it down. The core app you originally bought still works, and the subscription only gates the features that have ongoing costs behind them. I appreciate you having supported the app early on, and I'm sorry this change has soured the experience.
Awesome MTG app!
Requires subscription for core features after you bought it
I recommend just using scryfall.com for the card iformation and the online available comprehensive Rules.
Do not buy! SCAM!!
Best Magic App for Rules and Judges
no Card Updates
Subscription Slop ruined app
Charging old customers who paid for the app
So long
Good app
Great until subscriptions.
Relevant features locked behind paywall
I paid for this app years ago and apparently now I need to pay more money just to use a feature that has been there the whole time (a feature I paid for when I originally bought the app).
I paid for features that I now cannot use. Horrible bait and switch. This app is *useless* now.
Getting new sets has been on the app for years but now it costs money to update and get new sets in the app. Scryfall is a much better option.
Predictably the dev will copy and paste their response rather than listen to what users are saying. Can’t even take the time to give a real response to criticism.
Update: I want to point out the dev is *misleading* when they say “you have the oracle text currently it’s just delayed”. When I reopened this app to get the TMNT set there was no way to update the oracle text and no information on when it would possibly be available in the future. As far as I was told by the app I need to subscribe to update that. Now the dev is saying it’s available but “delayed.” How delayed will new sets be? What’s in the regular timeline for their delay? How long do people need to wait for new sets? Or if it only at your whim?
What I find odd is my oracle text says it was updated only on April 23rd, 2026. My review was posted April 29th. How did I get my oracle data updated before I reviewed that I didn’t have it? Genuinely trying to gaslight your users into saying you have it currently. I wrote my review because I could not access the TMNT set a month after it released.
Only after months of negative reviews were the apps updated to the most recent sets. I can’t recommend this app to anyone anymore who is to say the deal won’t be altered again and again.
Response from developer
Getting oracle text of the most recent set or new sets doesn't requires a subscription fee (you have it currently), it may just be delayed, as it was for the last set. I'm sorry you feel the app is useless. I won't put my explanation as you've obviously read it. I'm sorry you feel anrgy about this. I made the difficult decsion to do this after supporting the apps and the past paid users for many many years (I could have introduced subscriptons in 2017). It was really this or abandom the apps.
Was great
Developer Stole Purchase
Developer’s response claims that “the core app you bought still works”, but they’ve disabled image loading despite it being a previously paid-for feature.

Was good, not anymore.

New sets are added. You'll notice the latest is available to you. It may just may not be available on release day when you don't have Preimum.
