### 3/5 — Where is A Lawless Time

*2026-05-29, version 1.8.4*

A Lawless Time is not captured in the latest version.

### 2/5 — Recent update is wrong

*2025-11-24, version 1.8.3*

Instead of adding the variant versions of the secrets of power set, the update replaced the set with the legends of the force card list. Only leaders and promos are correct.

### 2/5 — worked great until upgraded phones

*2025-11-17, version 1.8.2*

Upgraded to iPhone 15 from a 13 and now decks won’t load and UI is super glitched out, really hope it can be fixed because I loved this app

### 2/5 — Comprehensive but inconvenient

*2025-07-21, version 1.8.1*

On one hand, this seems to be the only up to date SWU deckbuilder on the App Store. It’s annoying then that at every step it is difficult to use.

All variants of cards are shown when you are looking up cards, which bloats any search you try to do. When choosing a base or leader for a deck, there’s no way to easily scroll without accidentally selecting a card instead. The advanced search is potentially really useful… if it was actually available while you were building a deck (actually even the usual basic search features aren’t available during deck building, why?). 

It is so tedious just to put a deck together unless you know exactly what you’re going to put in it ahead of time. In which case, you don’t need a deckbuilder.

### 3/5 — Photos?

*2025-05-26, version 1.7.1*

Do you plan on adding a way to scan in cards via photos?

### 3/5 — Functional issues

*2025-03-27*

Some of the entries are screwed such that they cannot be added or removed easily.

Deck building has the (-) button off the screen so can’t remove cards once added.  Also there is no button to edit the deck it only makes a copy and then it auto shifts to default premier deck even if the original deck was twin suns and you still can’t remove the cards you don’t want.  I have screenshots to show what I mean.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the report, I just pushed a build with a fix for better layout of deckbuilding screen on smaller sizes. You can edit your decks with pencil icon on decks list screen.

### 2/5 — Mid at best

*2025-01-31, version 1.6*

Really difficult interface

### 2/5 — Loved it at first, but lack of updates..

*2024-12-10*

When I first picked this app up (August/September 2024), it was excellent as it had everything going for it.. I love the ability to batch open packs into the collection. Big fan of  the way it organizes decks, and connects to TCG to see what I’d need for cards to complete my planned strategy. It’s great..

However, with the recent release of TWI, I’ve grown cold on the app. Not all of the cards are available. There is no batch open options for it. There’s very minimal TWI functionality. If it’s not fixed, I’ll probably move my planning elsewhere and start over - especially since more sets are coming.

**Developer response:** Hello and thanks, I’m currently putting all missing cards together from three different sources, there will be an update tomorrow. Unfortunately i need to make a lot of hand work with each new set

### 4/5 — Error & backup option please!

*2024-11-11, version 1.4.1*

I love this app, but it’s unusable right now on my phone. It is stuck on a search screen when I go to add a new deck (just got some Twilight), and I can’t get out of it. 

Stupidly, I uninstalled the app and tried reinstalling it, and lost my whole collection. I am so used to apps having backups at this point that I didn’t think about it— my fault, but this would be a huge help in the future.

### 3/5 — Good but clunky

*2024-11-03, version 1.4*

One of the only deck builders I’ve been able to find. Good interface, but it is very clunky. Things load very slowly to the point it feels like the app is going to crash. Search function drags and is very slow. 

Other than that it’s good.

### 5/5 — Great app so far! 🥰

*2024-11-01, version 1.4*

Found this application quite useful to build my first decks.

I recommend 👌

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-10-10, version 1.4*

Makes it extremely easy to build out/ buy new decks

### 4/5 — Missing Card

*2024-07-20, version 1.3*

One card I noticed yall missing is the Slaver’s Freighter, it’s an Underworld-Vehicle-Transport

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Where are my decks?

*2026-07-16, version 1.8.4*

Randomly all my decks that were built just disappeared! And the app wasn’t updated with the new sets.

### 1/5 — Updates

*2026-03-30, version 1.8.4*

Updates come way too slowly.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-08-09, version 1.8.1*

Does not communicate with the website. 

creating a deck here does not create the deck on the SWU website.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-03-21, version 1.6.3*

Search box does nothing and you can’t close it.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-02-12, version 1.6*

Not user friendly. No help guide or anything to help you find or add cards. Will probably delete

### 1/5 — Really?

*2024-12-17, version 1.5*

Annoyingly the first time I opened the app, I was asked to write a review. So instead of actually using the app, I’m here writing this review that you are now reading. A lovely waste of time for both of us. “Yay”, thanks the maker I was asked to write this review. I will change this review once I’ve learned the dev has remote this extremely annoying practice.

### 1/5 — Dont understand how to use

*2024-10-24, version 1.4*

The cards will not load

### 1/5 — Was great but no Set 2 support

*2024-07-18, version 1.2.2*

This was my go to app for deck building but there is no support for the Shadows of the Galaxy Set 2 cards. Therefore until this is remedied it has become obsolete unfortunately

### 1/5 — App breaking

*2024-07-04, version 1.2.2*

I cannot load cards, I’d like to give this app a high rating because the Lorcana works great, but this one will not allow me to load any of the cards.

### 1/5 — Good until last update…all decks gone

*2024-03-23, version 1.2.1*

Can’t believe it

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Cool

*2025-07-31, version 1.8.1*

Helps me manage my collection.

### 5/5 — perfect app

*2025-07-13, version 1.8*

No issues with app, just need pack submission to be released for LOTF

### 5/5 — Star Wars

*2025-03-24, version 1.6.3*

It’s an amazing deck builder with clear custom deck lists

### 5/5 — App as good as the Game

*2025-03-12, version 1.6.1*

Love this app use it so much as good as the game

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-01-12, version 1.6*

I use it more for collection tracking currently. Well organized and easy to use!

### 5/5 — Great App excited to see it improve

*2024-12-30, version 1.5*

Really love the app so far for keeping track of my cards, search feature works great and had more ways to filter them i expected. Great companion app for people who are looking to buy and sell certain cards as well. A couple things i think would make this app even better is…

1: Add a way to see only the cards you own in the deck building menu. ( i think the there is a button above where cards get displayed but it doesn’t seem to do anything)
2: A way to see how much your collection and Decks are worth in money total based off the estimated value each card already in the app.

Another needed fix i noticed is that the Deck Building menu doesn’t fit on my screen it gets cut off on the right side so i can’t tap the Villain Aspect as a filter. (I have a iphone 16 Pro Max)

### 5/5 — Amazing app for collection management!!

*2024-12-26, version 1.5*

Excellent. I love the ability to batch open packs into the collection. Big fan of the way it organizes decks, and connects to TCG to see what I’d need for cards to complete my planned strategies. It’s a nice feature.

I had previously given the app 2 stars as updates for new sets weren’t coming out in a timely manner, but.. it seems like things turned around!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-11-30, version 1.4.1*

Great app, very helpful!

### 5/5 — Twilight Of The Republic

*2024-11-11, version 1.4.1*

Not all the cards are showing up properly in the  deck building function. But other wise love the app and it’s my primary deck builder.

### 5/5 — Ok

*2024-11-10, version 1.4.1*

Been using since set 1
