## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-07-08

• New Home Screen widget — start a 2- or 4-player game with one tap, and see every player's live life total during a game.
• Follow the whole table from your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — life totals in each player's color, live while the app is in the background.
• On iOS 18, launch games straight from Control Center.
• "Hey Siri, start a two-player game" — game setup, dice rolls, and coin flips now work through Siri and Shortcuts.
• Scan physical cards with your camera into the new Binder — free for everyone — and organize your collection across multiple binders with cover art and collection value (3 binders free, unlimited with Spark Pro).
• New Learn tab — browse and search the complete Magic comprehensive rules and glossary, fully offline.
• Now free for everyone: Scryfall card search and card-art player backgrounds.
• A refreshed in-game look with translucent glass controls, plus a customizable toolbar — drag to reorder your tools, or collapse the bar when you just want life totals.
• Feel the game: haptic feedback for life changes and knockouts, with full respect for your accessibility settings.
• Knocked-out players get a proper send-off — a new elimination effect that settles into a skull badge.
• Life buttons respond more reliably to quick taps and press-and-hold.
• You can now opt out of analytics any time in Settings.
