## What is Stacksmith?

Point your camera at a Magic card and it's in your collection. Stacksmith picks the right set, printing and foil for you, so there's nothing to look up and nothing to type. Just keep flipping cards.

SCAN FAST
• Hands-free scanning: hold up a card and it's added, no button to press
• Gets the exact version right, down to the set and foil
• Works with no signal, so you can scan at the shop, a tournament or a friend's place
• Scan a whole box from a phone stand, pile after pile
• Hear roughly what each card is worth the moment it's added, so the good ones never slip past
• Scans English and Japanese cards, plus eight more languages as quick downloads
• Something off? Fix it with one tap

KNOW WHAT YOU OWN
• Sort your cards into folders, each with its own picture
• See how close you are to finishing every set, and exactly which cards you're missing
• Check whether a card is legal in your format before you build around it
• Watch your collection's value grow, and see your profit on cards you paid for
• Get an alert when a card hits the price you're waiting for
• Prices for where you live: US dollars, euros or yen
• Buy what a set is missing from TCGplayer, Cardmarket and more
• Bring your collection over from other apps, and take it with you anytime
• Back up everything and move to a new phone without losing a card

PLAY
• Keep score for 2 to 6 players around one phone or tablet
• Life, poison and other counters, commander damage, the monarch and the initiative
• Scan or search each player's commander to show it at their seat
• Roll for who goes first, then use the dice, a coin and a wheel of names whenever you need them
• An optional timer, per turn or like a chess clock

### 3/5 — 日本向けで便利ではある。

*2026-10-22*

使用感まずまず。悪くない。
が、大体の機能が「スキャン前提」アプリ。
適切なカードスキャン環境がないと使いにくい部分が多い。

厳しめな文句というか意見

・スキャンが完全な白下地でスキャンしないとロクに判別してくれない。茶色い机だと誤判定が多い。おま環といえばおま環ではあるが。

・一部MTGアリーナから検索機能ぶっこぬいたのか？と思われる仕様がある。

具体的には、カード検索をする際【一部のカード/特にスタンリーガルのカード】が、漢字を含めるとそのまま検索できない。これがかなりのストレス。
わざわざ英語を調べて追加する一手間が発生する。

例を挙げると
不（ふ）穏（おん）な浅（あさ）瀬（せ）
といった感じ。
早急に対応してほしいものである。

・検索機能での絞り込み要素が少ない。コレクションに入れる為、基本土地を検索しようとすると、全ての絵柄しか表示できない。1つ1つ見る必要がある。

・FF継承史などにおいて、名前が変わったら元の名前で検索しなくてはならない。

総評
持っているカードの市場を円価格で見れるアプリは中々希少。
が、手入力に関するUIは改善の余地が多いと感じた。

自分はスキャン環境がないので改善されたら買い切り買うか検討。

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます！ご指摘を受け、私は日本語検索と手入力を改善しました。ふりがな付きの名前やFF「継承史」の別名で検索でき、基本土地などの版・絵柄も画像一覧から選べます。

現在、アップデートの配信準備中です。背景による読み取りの不安定さも引き続き調査し、スキャン環境がなくても使いやすくなるよう改善を続けます！

### 4/5 — 使いやすい！

*2026-10-21*

Foilのスキャン成功率圧倒的に不足だが、非Foilは認識が早い

### 5/5 — これは見やすい

*2026-10-20*

日単位でカードの価格変動が確認できるので、日本ではあまり見ないMTGショップに足を運ばずとも市場価格と売値を見比べられるのが最高。
所持カードは絵柄ごとに管理できるのもコレクションが楽しくなれそうだった。
新作情報からデッキ検索と構築がこのアプリ1つで完結できるのも、あちこち調べずに簡単にできたから課金してみる価値はあるかも。
あと、サイコロ転がす時に振動するのが地味に凝ってていい。

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.0.2 — 2026-10-25

• Special printings show their printed English titles. Card identity and printing selection are unchanged.
• Mark individual copies as proxies in card details or manual Add. They show a P, have no displayed price and add no collection value.
• Switch All cards between list and grid from its heading.
• Better memory cleanup reduces crash risk when memory is low. Camera resolution and OCR frequency are unchanged.

### 2.0.1 — 2026-10-22

Find cards with Legendary, Token, Saga, nonbasic land, subtype and ability filters. Search abilities in your app language.
Play has clearer life totals and larger cards on big screens, clockwise seats, improved timers and rotation that follows your device setting. Player names are remembered.
Add a partner more easily, see commander tax on the table and tap an opposing commander to add damage. Commander scanning faces the player choosing the card.
Choose dice colors that match or contrast with your theme, from Settings or the dice menu.
Deck pages show the main deck's total value and count cards without a price.
Japanese prices show shop stock and use converted TCGplayer prices when no Japanese shop lists a card. An asterisk marks prices from another market, and switching price sources no longer creates misleading value jumps.
Japanese card searches and imports work more reliably. Share lists in English or Japanese, copy missing-card lists for Hareruya and receive updated translations for new cards.
Search, filter, commander and tag fields make more room for the keyboard.
Send feedback from Settings, see release notes after updates and receive compatible small fixes between store releases.

### 2.0 — 2026-10-20
