Previously I got it working again by reinstalling but not this time. Time to move on. Was great when it worked. ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2022-04-07, version 0.30.5* Love the deck builder, love the ability to search cards through a variety of filters. Only feature missing is the ability to export decks to scryfall or tcgplayer, or cardkingdom, etc to check prices and compare or to make purchases. ### 5/5 — Missing a few components *2021-11-01, version 0.30.5* Hey P9 crew! Thank you so much for this app, it is by far my favorite mtg app! When you updated there were a few things missing in the newer version and was wondering if they were coming. In the deck lists you had the price of each card listed which helped me make a wishlist and bring it to my LGS. But the way you have the deck lists do not have the price of each card listed which is a bit inconvenient. Also I really enjoyed searching for cards by their expansion and was hoping that would come back. Will you have a spoiler section as well again that I can peek at again? I loved the custom names you guys made for cards that didn’t have names yet “the better name for this card” names :) thank you so much!! ### 1/5 — Loved this app, but.... *2021-02-06, version 0.21.6* I loved this app when I could use it. Unfortunately it’s not working correctly for me anymore. Immediately crashes upon launch. **Developer response:** The crash on start error was thought to have been fixed in the last update and this is the first report I’ve received since. I would love to help resolve this if you want to contact me via support@power9.io to get more information. ### 1/5 — It just keeps crashing. *2021-01-03, version 0.21.5* I’ve tried to use the app for 5 minutes but it just kept crashing. Fortunately I saw a very recent review of someone having the same problem and the developer responding acknowledging the problem. I’ll be waiting and checking into this app to see when it gets fixed. It would for sure be a 3-4 star review then! A lot of potential! **Developer response:** Thanks for giving Power 9 a try. I have a fix in the final testing stages that will hopefully be released by the end of the week. ### 4/5 — So far so good *2020-11-29, version 0.21.5* So far the app is fairly decent. The advanced search is the best part for me. 1) the icon for a deck is whichever card you put at the top, I wish you could change that after the fact 2) if you add a non tournament legal card to a deck you can’t get rid of it. It doesn’t show up in the deck list but does add to the total cards in the deck. 3) I wish you could change the expansion of the card in a deck to reflect the version that you have It’s possibly that these things are changeable but I could not figure out any of them. ### 5/5 — Works great *2020-11-20, version 0.21.5* Works super well very snappy and don’t have to wait for much of anything but I’d absolutely love the ability to sort through the deck list by cmc, color, and type it’d just save me a huge headache and save sooo much time 10/10 app easily recommend ### 4/5 — Good for mobile, but website is better *2020-07-10, version 0.21.5* This app is a great resource for mobile, and is great for finding cards for a tribal deck, ( such as subtype: merfolk) or a theme deck (card text: lifelink), but if you have access to the website I would recommend it over this. Also I would like to report a crash, where when changing CMC values the app crashes. ### 4/5 — Wow, with issues! *2020-04-07, version 0.19.1* App has the potential to be something great. On my iPhone xr, however, I keep getting white full pages when I click the cards and descriptions. No idea why. Started happening worse when I upgraded to pro. I hope it can be fixed! **Developer response:** Sorry about the white page issue. A bug was introduced with the Ikoria spoilers and a fix was submitted for release to the App Store today. I appreciate the enthusiasm and hopefully the update will meet your expectations. ### 5/5 — The best Magic the Gathering card search app *2020-03-20, version 0.19.1* Look up Magic cards by name, color, mana cost, or card text with search terms. Works very similarly to Scryfall. **Developer response:** Thank you for the positive review despite your recent crash issues. This sounds like an edge case that I’d like to investigate further but I’ll need more information. Please contact me at support@power9.io so we can correct this. ## Frequently asked questions about Power 9 ### Does Power 9 have ads? The free version of Power 9 contains advertisements.
