Best All Around TCG Tracking App

Been in this hobby for long enough to know that there are a bunch of different apps out there to track your collection. None of them do it like Shiny. Been here since the start always listening the users feedback and implementing and improving where they can. Super user friendly while also providing huge amounts of useful data. If you don’t have it downloaded you should!!!
