### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-10-21*

This app is perfect for organizing and tracking my Pokemon collection. It’s designed with the user in mind so it is easy and intuitive to use. If you’re collecting Pokemon cards, you need this app.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2026-10-14*

Cool app but it keeps recommending a banned card for my MTG commander decks. I wish it had a bit more on what should be changed to boost the deck to the next bracket

**Developer response:** First of all thanks for using the app and even more so for the honest feedback! You are totally right and I worked yesterday on updates that are out if you update that should help. 

1. I check legality on all cards that are recommendations and remove banned, color identity issues or any other reason like format from being recommended
2. I’ve added 2 other recommendation areas on the Lab main area around collection and synergy recommendations.
3. I added a “How to reach Bracket X” below your bracket in the lab. I already had this on the public rate my deck page and so I added it here to hopefully help!

Please let me know if you have any others ideas and I’d gladly make or improve the experience for you and other players!

### 5/5 — Everything I need in one spot.

*2026-10-10*

Finally. An app that does everything I need for not only Magic, but so many other TCGs. Big fan.

### 5/5 — Great app does exactly what you want and more!

*2026-08-15*

Between being able to host games and actually be involved with game updates that I’m not there for, this app is awesome!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! Hope you enjoy the deck builder and game tracker, but there seriously is so much more!

### 5/5 — Game nights are much more interactive

*2026-08-04*

Super simple to set up and packed with features. My favorite is the TV mode where you can see events happening in real time in other peoples games. Turn tracking is dead simple and the ability to see the games your friends are playing is awesome

**Developer response:** Yes! More focus on the Gathering! Happy that you get to enjoy being with people and playing a game we love (most of the time 😅)

### 5/5 — Finally, an MTG tracker that actually gets game night

*2026-08-04*

This app actually feels like it was built by people who not only play, but love MTG. It’s fast, easy to use in the middle of a game, and doesn’t get in the way when the table is already chaotic. The whole app runs really smooth and the stats screen is the icing on top. 

What really sold me is that it makes game night more memorable instead of just tracking numbers. Being able to look back at games, decks, and big moments is awesome. Easy five stars.

### 5/5 — If you Love Magic: The Gathering then download this app!

*2026-08-04*

I am new to magic but I’ve always wanted to play. This app helped me understand the game mechanics as a noob walking into a game night.

**Developer response:** Congrats on joining the Gathering! Glad this app could help you!

### 5/5 — Everything

*2026-08-03*

This app has it all, and does it well!

**Developer response:** It’s hard to do so much with deck building, card scanner, collection management, life tracker, campion app, game stats and much more and not drop the ball. But we are doing it!

### 5/5 — Best app for magic nights

*2026-08-03*

Very intuitive, and the features are extremely well thought out. There are a lot of good apps out there, but this one is without a doubt the best.

**Developer response:** 😭 love this. Thank you and glad you are enjoying it!

### 5/5 — Great App! Never going back

*2026-08-03*

I’m so glad I found this app. My play group loves looking at the turn lengths and the recap charts. (It also gives us data to show the one player that he is in fact, so much slower than everyone else!)

Solid app that I think will continue to grow and the dev. Took my feedback and had a fix for it the next day.

**Developer response:** Love this! The playgroup is what matters and I’m glad it’s helping your group as much as it helps mine!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.9.0 — 2026-10-19

Scanning, rebuilt
- Scan cards by photo in every game. TurnZero reads the card on your phone first and only asks for help when it can't.
- Review each photo in a carousel, pick the exact printing, and confirm before anything is added.
- Keep the live scanner for slinging a stack, and search or browse your library from the same screen.

Card search, faster and prettier
- Results as a grid of card pictures, with a list view when you want it.
- Multi-select filters for every game: set finder, rarity and more, shown before you type and remembered between searches.

Every version of every card
- A new card viewer: this version, all versions and your versions on one screen, with quantity and sharing.
- Swipe through cards in the pop-up, and flip through your whole library.
- Pokémon variants labeled properly: Shadowless, Pokémon Center exclusives, pattern and promo holos.

Collection
- Folders are now binders, and CSV imports for every game can file straight into one.
- Each game has its own color, and the game you pick follows you across Home, My Collection and card search.
- Analyze My Collection (with an upgrade): your collector persona, deck ideas and cards picked to fit.
- Your showcase: pick the cards on your public profile, down to the exact version.

Deck Lab
- See what it takes to reach the next bracket.
- Recommendations, including fun picks for your theme. Tap a card to see it, then choose to add it.
- A minus and plus stepper on every list row.

Game Feed
- Every game now has its own feed: turns, damage, eliminations and the cards played, each a tap away.

- Add a moment with quick tags, mentions and card detection.

Plus
- Open a precon straight from a link on turnzerohq.com.

- Lots of fixes and polish, and a smaller Android app.

### 1.8.0 — 2026-10-12

GAME FEED
Every game now has its own feed. Turns, damage, heals, eliminations and the cards played appear as they happen. Tap a card to see it, or a player to open their profile.

WATCH FRIENDS PLAY
Opening a friend's live game takes you straight to its feed, with each seat's life, poison and turn clock pinned on top.

ROUND RECAPS
When a game ends, each round folds into one recap: the longest turn, every big swing and the cards played.

A FASTER WAY TO ADD MOMENTS
One new composer everywhere you play: quick tags, @mentions, and cards you name are attached automatically.

ALSO NEW
• Upcoming releases for Pokémon, Lorcana, One Piece and the other games you follow
• Scanner: 1x/2x zoom, pinch to zoom, and more accurate reads inside the card frame
• Faster startup on slow connections

### 1.7.0 — 2026-10-06

A new way to get around TurnZero.

• New Home. Home is now grouped into Collect, Build, Play and Connect, with a fresh game-first Home for new players. The Decks and Collection tabs are now Build and Collect.
• Around You. See what's happening near you, with your friends' live games and upcoming events, on its own screen.
• One Play page. A single Play page replaces the Play sheet and setup wizard. Pick who sits where, see recent players first, and add a new one on the spot.
• Playgroups. TurnZero now detects your playgroups. Each gets its own visual page with card art, icons and charts, and you can create your own.
• Better Stats. Stats is split into My Stats and Playgroup Stats, with a drawer for choosing sections.
• Collection upgrades. Sort any collection by Recently added, record which version of a card you own from the set checklist, jump from a card to the decks it's in, and switch a deck's printing without losing your copies. Collection totals now appear faster.
• Calmer card scanning. Magic now uses the same one-card scanner as every other game, and the non-Magic scanners are quieter.
• Send Feedback. Reach us in one tap from Home.
• Plus fixes and polish throughout.

### 1.6.0 — 2026-09-29

TurnZero now supports every card game: Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana, Star Wars: Unlimited and Riftbound join Magic in your library, search, scanner, trades and Deck Lab.

Plus open tables you can join, a Board State sheet, Draft Trainer upgrades (sealed, bot skill, save as deck), shareable folders, and many fixes.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-08

Ask TurnZero, a home screen widget, and Personal Mode on your wrist.

Track your games on your wrist. Start a game on your phone, then track your
life with the Digital Crown, check every opponent's total, and see whose
turn it is without picking the phone up.

HOME SCREEN WIDGET
Pick what it shows: card of the day, today's article, your collection's
value, your decks and how they're doing, or what's on tonight.
Long-press to change it.

An assistant that knows your account. Ask what to cut from a deck, how
you've been doing lately, what a card really does, or how a rule works —
it reaches your decks, your record, your gatherings, your friends' decks,
every card in Magic, and TurnZero's guides. Tap an example question to
see it work.

NOW IN FRENCH, ITALIAN AND PORTUGUESE, alongside English and Spanish.
