Phenomenal! A+++

The Scanner in this app works so well that it will even identify cards in a Manga book! I have been reading a series of manga called "Destroy All Humans! They Can't Be Regenerated" which centers on MTG in the late 1990's. The books are a story of players that play MTG in Japan and the culture of MTG at the time and depict actual cards from MTG. The cards in the book are in black and white and sometimes too small difficult to discern what card is being shown. This app will scan and identify the card in spite of these differences. The only time I ever have trouble scanning a card is when there is too much glare.
I also use it to keep inventory of my cards, which is easy to do since I don't have to type any cards in, I just scan and save!

Quick but confusing

The scanner quickly picks up most cards even in sleeves, the UI is sleek, and I like how it integrates the card art into its aesthetic. However, I have two major gripes.

The lack of integration between the deck scanner and collection scanner is a major oversight. Scanning a card in the deck section should add it to the collection automatically if it’s not already present. I tried to get around having to scan cards twice using the export/import feature, but get an error when trying to import the app’s own exported file to the collection.

My second issue is the lack of deck customization. Either I’m missing something or the app does not allow me to designate a deck type—commander, modern, legacy, etc. This seems like a missed opportunity to support players who enjoy different formats.

I was looking forward to the shop integration, but without these basic features of deck management I think I’ll need to look elsewhere.

Glitch or intentional paywall model?

Was the best app. Supper fast and only gave me an ad between every 6-12 scans. No big deal.

But now there seems to be a glitch where I will scan one card, then try to scan the next but the first one pops up automatically again. The app will do this again and again until the ad appears.
Only after the ad can I scan a follow-up card.

So I'm basically getting an ad after every single card scan in the form of a glitch that repeats one scan multiple times over.

Been using it for years but this kills it for me. Need to find another scanner.

Depressed to write this

This app used to work great, I used it for years and recommended it to everyone I could. Unfortunately it’s gone down hill over the last year. As of right now I have had a support ticket open for a month, requesting updates regarding my problem weekly. I heard back once and responded back in a hour to try to fix a problem that has made the app virtually unusable for me, and got no reply. At this point dragon shield has lost my faith and support

Meh

They fixed the problem where you can’t enter new cards. We pay good money for this app, the updates shouldn’t break it! List of remaining problems:
Bulk scanner can’t handle black cards. Expect to use the pro scanner separately.
Bulk scanner auto corrects the first entry of a card in the database, resulting in the wrong artwork most of the time.
Database of cards often lags a few weeks behind release. Promos, variants, etc always take a long time to get updated.
Bulk scanner is glitchy, sometimes it won’t recognize a new card, sometimes it goes nuts adding copies of the same card until you intervene.
Bulk scanner can’t recognize anything that deviates slightly from an old time frame. So sagas, showcases, full art, most of these will have to be scanned separately.
Token support lags way behind the main set, sometimes by weeks.
Double sided cards are broken now. Flip button does nothing.
For a subscription app, I expect better. Guess it beats Excel.
