User reviews

Monthly subscription on top of hardware purchase is insulting.

I genuinely love the hardware. But I cannot fathom the logic to limit scans to 1000 cards before hitting a paywall. Buying the scanner should fully unlock the app, similar to how DJ controller manufacturers bundle the pro version of their software with the hardware. The app assumes that I don’t already have an app or website of choice for managing my collection which feels like a total misstep. There’s not even an option for a lifetime license or discounted annual plan.

Highly accurate

Great scanning and collection app for MTG. Far more accurate and easy to use than TCGPlayers app!

Great with scanner (if purchased)

This app was used to be made with the scanner. I see a lot of the reviews but $200 for the scanner? Or does it just move cards through? Don’t even get free month of premium after a purchase, 7 day return policy, eh -1 star

Don’t have options to adjust where the collection market pricing is coming from, -1 star

Phone camera manual scanning? Spend half of the time readjusting or manual fixing.
After figuring out to tilt the phone like the scanner setup does, worked out better. -1 star

Could be better, could be improved. Maybe visit back later another time or if I have time/money to test with the hardware.

Ads on the home page?

I pay for a premium subscription and you think it’s okay to dump a massive ad button in the middle of my home screen? Get bent

Good

Def works very well in my opinion after I added a little weight. Doesn’t do standard lands very well hopefully that is worked on it does work great on lands that come in normally tapped
