New update took what I used to use and hid features behind a paywall.
I used this app for years and it was a little clunky, but it was consistent and easy to use. After coming back to use the app and having features removed and hidden behind a paywall I’ve been left with a paid app that has less features than free ones. Pretty disappointing, but that app still functions and gets prices quickly.

App now locked to monthly sub
I understand the reason for change. But doesn’t change that this app was previously paid for and now to continue to use it as expected, you now have to sub at a monthly/annual cost. For me the updated sets and prices information were the reason I used.
App is great and lightweight. For my use, it’s requires updates that’s now locked behind the new paywall.

REVOKED FEATURES
They have put features behind paywall despite me previously paying for the app. Completely unacceptable
Subscription ripoff
What is the point of this without a subscription anymore
#1 Mtg app
This has been one of the most reliable apps I have used over the years. Yes it has had its moments. The owners always address issues in a timely manner. I have never recommended another app for pricing.
Subscription fatigue
This isn’t really something that needs a subscription? Previously paid for all features to be unlocked, and now dev wants a monthly payment to get them back. I’ll be moving to ManaBox as a free alternative.
Capitalism at its finest
I bought this app a long time ago as it was basically the only app of its kind on iOS. Took a long break from Magic, came back and now it has a subscription model. It shafts the people who purchase the app previously. In a situation like this, it would have been better to sunset the app and make a new one with the subscription model. I can’t even look up card arts via previous sets. There had to be a better way to go about doing this.

Paid for the app, then the terms changed
I paid $6.99 for this app in November 2025. Later, the developer switched to a monthly subscription model and converted my previous purchase into monthly credits.
The problem? Those credits apparently started ticking down whether I was using the app or not.
I hadn’t opened the app in months, so by the time I came back, the value they substituted for my purchase had been disappearing simply because time had passed. How was I supposed to know I needed to keep checking an app I’d already paid for to make sure my purchase hadn’t effectively been put on an expiration timer?
I understand developers change their pricing models. Charge new customers whatever subscription price you want. But retroactively converting an existing customer’s paid purchase into credits that expire over time is a terrible way to treat people who supported your app early on.
I have the Apple receipt showing my $6.99 purchase on November 29, 2025.
Very disappointing. I paid for the app. I expected that purchase to be honored, not quietly converted into a countdown.

Switched to ManaBox
This app used to be the bomb however I recently updated versions and now can no longer view card images nor update card database without a paid “premium” subscription. There is nothing premium about a paid app that functions worse than a free one. Just my 2 cents.
Used to be good
I had been using this for many many years and it worked well. Now with a paid subscription, it seems they are trying just cash in. Easier just to leave a tab open on my phone of tcg player to do the same thing this does for free.
Fantastic app
Great app to look up prices quickly and have pictures if needed. He gets his updates very quick and very trustworthy for the prices. It pulls off a TCG. Just needs to update a bit faster here and there.
I look forward to these app updates …
… like waking up on Christmas morning!
Two Thumbs Up
I love the organization and how quickly I can find just what I need. With continuous updates and prices
Terrible Money grab
Give this app an A, only because it lost my data one on a restore of the phone. But every other time it has worked fine. The price update quick.
New review - can’t make new trades because I won’t pay a monthly fee.

Sad excuse of what was once an amazing app
This app used to be the best. Now they changed it to subscription required slop. You can’t even see the most recent sets without subscribing. They even locked viewing the card art behind a paywall. Are you kidding me? Greedy scum practices. I’ll stick to TCG player.
Sub
Paid for the app. Now requires a sub for app to work.
Paid for it now they want more money
Not worth a subscription to *checks notes* see card images.
Update: I paid good money for this and now they’re adding a subscription fee to see new sets.
Find a better app.

Premium app no more
Paid for this app quite a few years back with the expectation it would be supported for the price I paid. Instead the dev wants to charge for information Wizards makes available for free and other apps make available for free. Bye!
Now Paywalled
Moved to subscription, now not usable after purchasing the app. Terrible.
Lost confidence
Purchased the app and it was working well until they offered subscription and removed basic functionalities that made it great
