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.
Now Paywalled
Moved to subscription, now not usable after purchasing the app. Terrible.
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 16 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.
Lost confidence
Purchased the app and it was working well until they offered subscription and removed basic functionalities that made it great
Scummy developer abusing long time paid user base
I’ve been a paid user of this app since at least 2019. The developer recently migrated free openly available data on the internet, hosted by Wizards, behind a paid subscription model.
The only reason for this change is greed of the developer. Spend your money elsewhere.

They took away everything I paid for
I have had MTG trades now for years they just recently did an update and took away everything I paid for and want to charge me monthly to see things like card art.
Bait and switch.
Developer has a great app until this recent pivot tow “subscription” model where previous app features (that users PAID for when they bought the app) are locked behind a new subscription paywall.
I don’t recommend anyone use this app now.
Look for alternatives.

Oof micro transaction no thank you.
I’ve had this app for a long time(2018) and used it a lot payed the like 8 bucks I think back then. With a sub to do anything I used to do imma have to drop this app down a bunch. There is other apps out there for free or a single pay that do what this app does. Or just look them up online for free
Late stage capitalism ruined my experience
I have been on this app since prolly 2012 and I paid $6.99 for the app when it came out and STILL I am now being denied access to viewing cards and updates. Adding a subscription cost because of the popularity of magic rn is exactly what is wrong with this app. I bought this app with my chore money when I was 9 I would like to keep using it for the $7 I paid. (Lovely app and has been amazing through all of my years of use)

Do not buy SCAM
App functionality was removed after full payment and now requiring a subscription. Scam!!
Love it
I’ve been using this app since it was new it’s fantastic and clean and I love how it downloads the info for offline use. My only wish is you have a small discount to long time users on the subscription
Some of the scummiest business practices
I paid for the app and was happy with my purchase for a long while, until one day I opened the app and was greeted by the fact that the created had functionally turned off all of the functionality if not subscribed for a monthly fee. This would be annoying but understandable on a free app, but on an app I had paid to use, it is absurd.
The base version, which I paid for, no longer allows for updating with new sets, meaning the app is essentially worthless for a modern user. Additionally, they turned off the ability to see card images, which is clearly just a method to make the experience worse enough to encourage further payment. This is truly shameless behavior. If 0 stars were available, I’d be happy.

Bait and switch
Long time customer that paid for app. Now it’s unusable and can’t get new cards. Forcing a subscription.
Scam app.

Great app, worth supporting Devs
I’ve had this app for over a decade and it has never let me down when a new set releases. Plenty of ways to sort versions and rarities to find what you’re looking for. The Trades/Wants features have also been super helpful when I’m attending events and lending/borrowing cards or setting up larger trades to match up values. Happy to pay the sub fees. This is a great app and will continue to support <3

Can’t update
Used this forever, can’t even update new magic sets now or view cards. Terrible
Disappointed
Before I start,
THIS IS A GREAT APP!!!
I am disappointed for the reason I have used this app for over 7 years and now I’m required to pay. I have also lost all my trades and loans I had saved that I know longer have access to. Years of memories with people gone. Cards that I had loaned out to friends and family, all information gone.
$7 for a year isn’t a bad price for what this app is now charging. Just sucks l lost more than just access to premium features.

Sub now required.
Bought this app years ago. Been great up until this recent update or now you have to have a premium subscription to access all the stuff that I once paid for. Safe to say I won’t be using this anymore.
Terrible
You have to pay now to even use the app. Got taken over by greedy suits.
Scam app
Don’t purchase this. I did before, and then they took away features that I had already purchased.
Bought the app years ago and now I have to pay to use the relevant features
Bought the app over six years ago. And now it’s switching to require a subscription to access the updated set information. Unacceptable. Deleting the app and using something else
