### 4/5 — Great widget one issue

*2025-05-02*

Fantastic widget, love seeing art all day, but when I click on it sometimes when I click on the art to open the card sometimes it doesn’t properly load and then refreshes before I can click again. Doesn’t let me see the card itself before it’s gone, other than that fantastic widget!

### 4/5 — Great app but The workaround for iOS 18 breaks the app for iOS 17

Title

### 4/5 — Very cool with a single caveat

*2024-10-11*

Really like this app, its very cool seeing a random card whenever I unlock my phone from both the latest set and my favorite set. However, I really wish the art was always centered in the box. Dockside Chef from NEO came up one time and just didnt look right at all because it wasnt centered. Otherwise great app!

### 4/5 — Awesome with one bug

*2024-05-16*

Love this widget. Seeing MTG artwork on my home screen always brightens up my day! One bug noticed - if you tap on the widget to view the card in Scryfall, then go back home, then tap the widget again, Scryfall fails to open (browser window pops up briefly and then disappears). Workaround is to force-close the app. Would love to see this fixed, thanks developer!!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-01-30*

Amazing widget. Thank you so much for keeping it up to date. It’s a great way to find new cards and freshen up your Home Screen.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app!

*2022-06-23*

I love this app that provides pictures of MTGA cards, but can you add the support for huge widgets?
