### 3/5 — Great ideas but buggy

*2026-08-10*

Overall I do like the app. Very handy for looking up cards, even ones that have only recently been announced in a new set. In the deck list created I really do like the split of Main deck/ Side Deck and then consideration, being able to throw some ideas into the consideration section and go over them and either clear them or move them to main or side deck is a really good idea. My main issue is at least as of late and unfortunately what prompted me to leave a review is the app has begun crashing a lot. I cant even really edit decks anymore in the app and have had to look at other options that I dont like as much but arent crashing. Hopefully they can fix this issue soon.

### 3/5 — Lots of Potential but has some major issues

*2026-07-27*

Has a lot of potential and some great features, but the paywall for extra core features is egregious (no price charts & 4 deck list max as examples of free limitations). I’ve also experienced waaaay too many crashes with basic functionality. Maybe with some updates and rethinking the pricing structure, it would turn from a good app to a great app.

### 2/5 — Subscription

*2026-07-19*

Great app but the monthly subscription of 7.99 is too much. I can deal with a one time fee of 50-60$ or even a 1.99 monthly or 12.99 yearly but 7.99 a month is not reasonable. That’s a whole booster pack every month just to track booster packs.

### 5/5 — Working

*2026-07-03*

So far so good

### 1/5 — Expensive, not worth it

*2026-06-22*

Weekly subscription pricing is absurd, and has less free functions than pretty much everything else I’ve tried

### 2/5 — Room for improvement

*2026-06-16*

This app seems off to a good start, but as a deck builder it leaves a lot to be desired.

It lacks anything but the most basic card searching and filtering options (for example when looking at a deck you can’t filter by card type).

Also on quite a few occasions I have been editing a deck and the app completely crashes and all the work is lost forcing you to start over from scratch.

I haven’t used the collection tracking aspects of the app - so I can’t comment on those.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2026-06-14*

The first TCG app that doesn't have a UI that makes my brain melt. LOVE IT

### 3/5 — Going down

*2026-06-13*

App was great and in proving features wise but it’s getting more and more buggy: can’t log in on the web, can’t import decks anymore, etc…

### 5/5 — :D

*2026-06-06*

Jag gillade verkligen appen och vad den erbjuder. Väldigt komplett! :)

### 2/5 — Cant search specific cards

*2026-05-08*

This app has a huge problem with finding cards in the search bar. Simply typing “XP” for example to try and find the new unleashed cards does not yield any results at all. Tried about 3 different times to find Insightful Investigator forgoing “XP” all together but even words like “Spend” are foreign to this app.
