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
Best Magic Archivist App So Far!
Love the app, hate the limit of only 1000 cards in the free version!!! Also PLEASE add a way to filter your collections by order of scan or addition to collection!
Exceptional Scanning
There is no better app for scanning magic the gathering cards.
The fastest way to scan cards period
I can scan 100 cards in less than a minute with very few errors. That is what I care about. Is the app perfect? No, but it is constantly being improved.
Lots of UX issues! Buyer beware
1. Why are we limited to fixing scan issues on the app? A desktop app/website would be so much faster to work with. Also my phone is a potato but my computer has a 16-core processor. Do the math…
2. Why are some cards marked “no foil exists, skipping” when I’m literally holding a foil version in my hand? (This is what inspired me to write this review)
3. Show the actual picture while I’m fixing a scan in the selection screen!!! So annoying to press back twice if I forgot the variant/set etc!
4. USELESS for land cards. There’s no point using it unless you’re going to sort by set and scan each land set pile with a filter set. It thought every mountain I scanned in was a rare 7th edition one worth $10 a pop. Took almost an hour to get them fixed manually.
5. Does not handle 2 sided cards well.
6. No option to say every card in a batch will be foil, have to do it afterward (and get told they’re not foil).
7. Can’t set a year range, only a specific year in scan filter. Pointless.
8. The device regularly halts over the slightest misalignment (cards not gripping).
9. I already said this but the lack of website for managing cards and fixing scans is just tragic.
In Conclusion:
If you’re a hobbyist with a somewhat sizable collection (500-5k) then it might be worth getting this thing, but any more than 5k and you should look elsewhere, this would be awful if I needed a scanner that could handle more than ~500 cards an hour, it does not feel like it respects my time, and the app is definitely not worth paying a subscription for.

Good for what it is
Has minor bug but gets the job done.
Garbage app and product
Don’t get duped into paying 200 bucks for junk you can 3d print only to find out you have to pay 4.99 a month to use it
Not bad…..needs some improvement
The only big concern I have right now is that it crashes when you try to manual grid scan. Other than that it’s wonderful. Get the grid scan fixed.
