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.

Premium Not working
My wife and I are using the app to scan our collection. We have paid for premium and it says that it is good until March 1st but we keep getting notifications that we should try premium and bulk scan will not work. It was fine 3 weeks ago, now in the last couple of weeks it has not worked. We have tried resetting phone, logging out/logging in, restore purchases and noting works.

Best collection/scanner
Really good at scanning cards and keeping track of your collection. I refuse to use any other card app!
Broken
Ever since the last update, cannot add any cards, the button to add a card just brings up the folder controls. App is useless right now
Increasing Performance Issues
This app started out really well and I’ve recommended it a bunch! In the last 6 months to a year, however, there has been a great increase of random crashes and scanning issues. I’m writing this now because the app has crashed on me at least 15 times over the past hour or so, on top of the scanner getting stuck on the last-scanned card until restarting. I’m on an iPhone SE 2020 but iOS is up to date and I didn’t have any of these issues starting out, so I’m very disappointed in how the app has developed.

Missing the mark with the scanner.
It can identify cards really well, but can do a quick scan like ManaBox.
App Buggt
Eigentlich eine super App. In letzter Zeit buggt sie bei mir jedoch ordentlich. Nachdem ich eine Karte gescannt habe, wird immer wieder dieselbe Karte erkannt, obwohl eine neue Karte darunterliegt. Ich habe die App bereits gelöscht und erneut heruntergeladen, das hat den Fehler aber nicht behoben. Vielleicht können mir ja die Entwickler weiterhelfen. Wenn der Bug gefixt ist, ist das eine 5-Sterne-App.

Filters doesn’t work
Paid subscription is worthless given the filters doesn’t work properly.
Response from developer
Hello! We are sorry to hear the collection filters aren't working as expected. We definitely want to fix this. Could you go to Menu -> Help & Support -> Report Problems on the app and fill in the help form with details about what isn't working? That helps us identify and resolve issues much faster. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
Incomplete for an European collector
When will this app detect card language??? And choose price source (like card market)
Response from developer
Hello Aiescream! Thank you for your feedback. Cardmarket prices are actually supported! You can change the price source in Menu -> Marketplaces. About the card language, the scanner works by recognizing the artwork on the card to stay fast and accurate, which unfortunately means it can't detect card language. While that possibility is not supported yet, we appreciate you bringing it up and will keep your feedback in mind. You can still edit the card details manually after scanning if needed. Thanks again for using the app!
Interessante App, absolut falsche Preise
EDIT:
Beim Scannen wurde jetzt die Auflösung erhöht. Somit geht das deutlich besser - dafür bekommt die App 3 Sterne. Die Preise allerdings sind immer noch komplett falsch. 20$ Karten werden hier mit 200$ Wert angegeben - das macht keinen Sinn.
Gut zum Tracken der Collection - allerdings funktioniert das Scannen von etwa jeder 8. Karte überhaupt nicht, auch funktioniert es bei Karten in bspw. Full-Art Design nicht. Nur bei den absoluten Standardkarten.
Noch ein großes Manko: der Wert der Karten ist leider ABSOLUT falsch. Bitte da keinen Wert drauf legen!
Beispiel: bei mir wird eine Karte als 50$ angezeigt, welche auf Cardmarket im Durchschnitt für 12$ verkauft wird. Wieso das so ist? Keine Ahnung. Das macht die Wertermittlung leider ziemlich nutzlos.

Hallo! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass der Scanner jetzt besser für dich funktioniert – vielen Dank für die aktualisierte Bewertung! Was die Preisangaben betrifft: Wir beziehen unsere Preisdaten direkt von TCGplayer, Cardmarket, CardKingdom und MTG Mint Card. Die Preise für Karten in der App sollten daher mit denen auf dem von dir ausgewählten Marktplatz übereinstimmen. In manchen Fällen können die Preise jedoch durch Angebote mit ungewöhnlich hohen oder niedrigen Werten verzerrt sein. Eine Möglichkeit, genauere Werte zu erhalten, ist, den Preistyp unter Menu → Marketplaces zu ändern (z. B. von „AVG“ zu „LOW“). Damit wir uns das genauer ansehen können, schick uns bitte ein paar Beispiele von Karten, bei denen dir diese Preisabweichung auffällt, über unser Kontaktformular. Du findest es in der App unter Menu → Help & Support → Report Problems. Vielen Dank für dein Feedback!
Pay wall
So you can either pay for the service and use the scanner that works almost instantly, or you can use the free version that doesn’t seem to work at all.
Really good
I’m really loving the functions of the app but I can’t get my avatar the last airbender tokens to scan in and I can’t find them on the manual entry, are there cards not processed in yet?
Specifically: Ally T 4, 5, 7, 8; soldier T 2, and Spirit T 3.
Help would be appreciated please and thank you.

Seems great for merchants but major UI and QOL missing for players
The scanner is close to amazing but very inconsistent. For example I can sometimes go through 15 cards of the same set in 30 seconds. But then it'll get completely stuck on one card and I’m spending 30 seconds trying from every angle distance and lighting to get the scanner to see it. Then it'll pick up just the corner of another card and somehow telepathically know what it is. Then it'll give me an entirely wrong card other times. Its overall worth using, if it takes longer than 5 seconds just set it aside and type it in later. (Yes databases all up to date)
My biggest disappointment with the app is it feels like it is built for a merchant not a casual player. Extremely simple and intuitive things being overlooked has me scratching my head.
I was hoping for a digital folder where I can easily flip through cards and work on decks from what I have in my collection. But there is no way to build decks out of your inventory. Or vice versa. You have to scan cards once for your inventory and scan them again to be in a deck. The two features are completely independent with no synchronization between them.
The best you can do to work around this is ignore the deck building feature entirely and only have lists of scanned cards instead. That way you can look through what you have and send it over. Which would be okayish, but that will dismantle any permanent organization you would assume to get from something digital.
Also major QOL: There are 3 ways to view your cards. A grid, condensed list, and an expanded list that shows prices. Why is it that if I want to bulk select cards from a condensed list I have to tap twice. Once to expand each entry and then again in order to select it? All just to show me the price ranges of a less than 25cent card?
If I wanted to view them that way I would've clicked the button to have them all expanded in the first place. And I don't sell cards. I do not care or need to be reminded that this card is $.08 and this one is $.25 If it was worth anything I would know already. I bought it. It would be way more helpful to be able to customize what is displayed. Either relevant card information or prices.
And better yet to not auto expand making it take more than twice as long than is necessary when you are trying to quickly sort from a list. There could just be a button on the entries to expand it if you wanted a reminder instead.

Something is broken
The latest update appears to have broken the card view. It lists one card per letter in the alphabet, for a total of just 26 cards. Please fix this as soon as you’re able!
Good scanner, one major issue
I love this scanner as a way to organize and export my collection to csv for buy listing. The issue is once cards are sold removing them from your inventory is a painful and arduous process.
There are two options that I see. Either marking it as sold, where you are then required to input a price before moving on, or deleting it. In both cases when I am sorting alphabetical and by set and do either of these, once done it jumps all the way back to the top of the list and I have to scroll all the way back down to find the set I was working in. Every other aspect of this app is so well done for speed during input, I don’t understand how this part was overlooked, but I hope they can change it. An option to select multiple cards at a time or to import another csv list to remove cards would be huge. Otherwise good app if you don’t ever plan to remove cards from your collection.

Great scanner good to mediocre card values
So for this app the scanner is second to none. It hits the card every time (you still gotta make sure it’s the right series and number). The only issue I have is the card values. It will say a card that is over 50 cents is 0 cents and other price issues like that. Had a 3 dollar card on TCG listed as worth one penny on here. If they could sync the scanner and cards with TCG’s actual prices this would be an unstoppable app. Or if Dragon Shield got with TCG to allow TCG to utilize this scanner in their app then it would be amazing.
