Love it!

This app is so much better than the other MTG card apps. It’s built for deck builders and collectors. Love it!

Trash

Immediate paywall, no scanner, nothing works or loads right.

Great app for organizing the collection

I have had just a pile of cards from decades of light collecting sitting around and I wanted to clean up and organize. The scanner for iPad goes really fast sometimes and then it seems like it gets tired or something, it will have to close the scanner open it again and then it will start scanning again. You do have to stop to make sure that you enter in the correct printing but it’s nice to know what the value of your collection actually is. Some people might find the patience needed to use this app annoying, along with the needlessly long review. Its good, and worth paying the fee.

Love this application!

It’s better than 5 stars!

Crashes constantly on MacOS

You can’t really build in your collection when the app constantly crashes when selecting cards from search.

Terrible app

This app does not work. It crashes regularly and when trying to scan will give you the same wrong card after deleting and trying again. Do not get this app!

App isn’t very good

The person who runs this app rocks! Very responsive and helpful with issues.

Some Prices not Accuarte

It’s a great app! The only issue I have is that some of my cards don’t match the price. Namely my foil SLD cards. My Deadpool SLD shows $0 for the foils. Every single one.

One of the better ones

Good way to store and sort cards, with enough automation to get prices and values.

Needs a few improvements:

1. Ok card scanner but it is only scanning the card title. It is not looking at the 3-letter collection identifier nor the collection number. This makes card price estimates wrong.
2. It does not have the functionality to add all cards of a pre-constructed deck with a single button. You have to scan all the cards.
3. It does not offer a deck generator to help deck building. Other apps do have this. Ideally, this should be part of the app and allow construction based on a selection of cards based on collection identifier, to help building with drafts.
4. No web interface accessible via web browser for easier management.

Need help

I can’t get the app to scan my cards.

This is awesome

before, i had to look up prices of the cards, and i could not even get to the set lists! Now, with this app, i can look at prices of cards AND sets!

Buggy

There are a ton of bugs on this app. Otherwise it is a solid scanning app, but it would be sweet if you released a patch soon.

Not bad

Scanner works great but catalog is incomplete. Some cards don’t show all sets. Example Vampire Hexmage from Conspiracy. The conspiracy set is not an option. Please update to include all sets.

The app I have been looking for.

This is a wonderful app, that is full of features. I just finished adding my whole card collection of 10,000+ cards. It has helped in new deck building and finding forgotten cards in my collection.

There have been a few bugs a long the way. The great thing is this apps developer is quick to respond to any issues. At this time all my previous issues have been resolved.

If you have been looking for a powerhouse app to track your cards this is it.

Good lord this is spectacular

I can’t express how much better this app is than any other TCG collector card apps out there. Awesome job

Committed Developer

There are bugs, but the dev is communicative and always trying to improve things.

Updated review

After my first review the developer Orlando reached out to me and asked how, where and why the app was buggy. I told him exactly everything. I updated the app and honestly it’s night and day to how it used to be just only a week ago. Everything is faster and smoother by a mile. Legitimately a better overall experience. It’s still a touch laggy on my iPad but I’m chalking that up to it being a previous generation model.

On my iPhone 15. It’s perfect. Just perfect. The new mana value suggestion bar is also a really cool feature.

I just wanted to say the care and pride that is being shown is immaculate. I truly appreciate you. Thank you

performance improvements needed

the application works pretty well and it is quite complete and the multiple options to create decks and organize cards and scan them is really good, however the performance of the application make work hard and annoying, the lag and input issues when trying to look up cards or trying to load a vast library makes it a bit annoying, i would like to suggest a cash system that will help expedite this process and improve responsiveness

Leaves a lot to be desired

So I’ve been using this app for several months and the more updates it’s been given. The slower it’s becoming. I like everything about it except how slow and buggy it’s become. Everything lags and freezes and takes a while to load. I don’t know man

Edit. Adding a star for developers response and willingness to fix the issues.

Response from developer

Hi FoeHammer Echo! I’m Orlando, the dev. Thank you for your feedback! I’m really sorry to hear about the slowdown and bugs. I’d love to learn more about what’s causing the issue so I can work on improving it. If you have a moment, please email me at lionseyeapp@gmail.com or join the Discord—I’d really appreciate the chance to troubleshoot the exact actions that seem slow and make the app better for you. Your experience matters, and I’d love the opportunity to earn a better rating!

Overall - Awesome

Everything looks great, performs great. Only two things lack are:
1. Wish List doesn’t work. Can’t pull up each individual card.
2. A one time payment plus level. Only two options are monthly and yearly. Some kind of one time payment for more like spelltable matches, access to more functions, I think would add a lot of value.
