### 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.

### 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…

### 3/5 — An OK app

*2026-02-22*

I love the price of my collection changing feature. However, with the recent update it was put behind a paywall. Normally I wouldn’t mind paying an upfront fee for lifetime premium but 3.99 a week seems pretty steep for an app I don’t use very frequently. Maybe if prices changed and they added a fair one time payment for lifetime premium I’d buy it. Other than that the app is pretty great for keep tracking of my collection.

### 3/5 — New app, but needs to betaken further

*2026-01-04*

I play Mtg so i’m used to companion apps like this, and it just needs a few more features to start taking things more serious. Main thing being a play tester.
Nice work so fair however.

### 2/5 — Very limited functionality

*2025-11-30*

Adding the same card to your collection makes a separate listing, making seeing your total collection very difficult unless you never add more cards to your collection. Sparse quality of life features, no seeing your total collection value, seeing your cards listed in numerical or alphabetical order, or seeing the full list of cards with your collection highlighted so you can see what you’re missing/ how many of each card you have. Not much practical use at the moment.

### 3/5 — Good but need alot more functionality ?

*2025-11-17*

Does not seem to be a way to sort your collections, adding new cards doesnt combine them with existing ones it just creates a new duplicate (its just alot of extra clicks to manage a bit annoying) an export feature would be great too

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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

### 1/5 — Crash

*2026-02-22*

The app crashes non stop when scanning cards. Don’t recommend

### 1/5 — Locked behind a pay wall

*2026-02-22*

Was really enjoying the app until they locked most of the stuff that made it unique like tracking market prices of cards behind a subscription of $8 a month

### 1/5 — Frequent Crashes

*2026-02-15*

Title, and it really has no idea what cards it is scanning.

### 1/5 — Lost all my decks

*2025-11-11*

New release lost all my decks and replaced them with other decks with no cards in them. Really liked the app before that but if it’s got critical bugs like that it’s unusable.

**Developer response:** Hey, sorry to hear that. If you lost your account, we'll happily help you find back your decks and collections. Please contact our support : contact@chelle.studio.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Some features removed for premium subscription

*2026-02-26*

I understand that making apps is hard work and takes some effort, but when you start removing some features such as copy pasting deck codes and have it behind a subscription paywall, that’s just greed. I would have gladly paid for your app but I really don’t understand why we need to be “subscribed” to unlock “features”

### 2/5 — Limited Practical Use

*2025-12-15*

There doesn’t seem to be an option to export your collection after scanning all your cards; as stated in another review, scanning the same card different times will create two instances of the card in your collection, which is a bit annoying; and when deckbuilding, you can’t see which cards you own/are part of your collection.

If those issues can be addressed, I’d give this app 5 stars. It has good bones, but doesn’t quite hit the mark, yet.

### 5/5 — Working

*2026-07-03*

So far so good

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2026-06-14*

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

### 5/5 — :D

*2026-06-06*

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

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2025-12-08*

Awesome app with awesome support from the developers. Can export and scan your collection! It’s honestly amazing (the deckbuilding is why I got it initially, but it’s so much more and better than just that)

### 5/5 — How?

*2025-11-12*

Cards no downloading in app, I don’t understand how watch cards and build deck, I cannot seeing card’s. Cards are grey icons and name, no pictures.

### 5/5 — Great for Riftbound

*2025-11-06*

I think this app is great. With the Riftbound release just a week ago, this app has a great function for the game! I’ve used similar apps for other TCGs (lifetap for MTG, Neuron for YGO, etc) and this one has similar functions. Loving it so far and hope future updates polish it up!

### 4/5 — Mass deleting

*2026-03-09*

Wish there was a way to mass delete cards in the whole collection. Amazing otherwise!

### 4/5 — Good app, but limited by subscription

*2026-03-03*

I like using the app to build decks but its limited to 5 decks without buying the imo expensive sub. If it was a one time purchase or 1.99 a month or so I would consider it. Otherwise it has some great features.

### 4/5 — App is smooth and works great

*2025-12-07*

Would be great if you could see the value of your collection. Can see the value of individual cards, but going through the entire collection to work out a value is way to much work.

### 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.
