Fantastic app, have used for many years. Not a fan of the recent UI changes, if there was an option in settings to use the old controls for playtesting, and changing pages of search results that would be much appreciated. Specifically the issue is that both of those require more taps in this new version. Even with those small annoyances, highly recommended.
The app works ok, but more filtering / searching features would be nice. My biggest issue is that even though I've bought both the paid add-on features (camera and collections) sometimes it'll just decide that I haven't bought the collections add-on, and I need to exit and restart the app to bring it back. Particularly frustrating when I then need to re-scan a stack of cards because they didn't save! If you make people pay even more for full functionality, it'd better work all the time!
I love the app. The reason I give it 3 stars instead of 5 is that after spending months data basing my collection, it was erased when my phone did a system update. It is for that reason I switched to the Windows version on my PC. Additionally, there are a few things missing which I would love to see added: 1. Many sets are missing land variations. 2. Some older sets like Fallen Empires released multiple arts for cards which are also not included. 3. Tokens have been excluded altogether.
When the app works, it is fantastic. The best deck building app I've used, and I've used it for years. It does go through periods that the app just crashes on open and I have to reinstall. More so lately. Pricing also tends to be kind of wonky at times, but usually is fine. A year or two ago I'd have been likely to give 5 stars, but lately issues I've never had before have been popping up here and there without any signs of fixing them.
I have used this app for years on both my phone and computer. Lately though, I am a bit sad about it. Tbe database has had issues showing the cards and has progressively gotten worse. Also, pricing and its options have been broken and unusable for the last 6 months with no fix in sight. Please fix the card pics and please would you fix the pricing (it's been going on way too long).
Definitely the slickest interface of any digital deck builder I've used and I love the organization and simplicity. I am having a problem though. After the last update the app crashes when I try and look at the active deck. First time I've had a problem with it in more than a year. Would rate 5 stars otherwise.
I just paid for the app and have been trying to use it because all of my magic teammates have been using it for years. I have a Google Pixel 2 XL. I don't believe the app is very compatible for this device. I can't make more than one deck without manually taking every single card entry back out of the deck. I even tried uninstalling and the original deck was still showing up. The new deck function didn't work at all. Very displeased. Hope this can be fixed. I was really looking forward to using.
I've been using this for years with no issues, but with the recent update it is broken. It locks up everytime I try to access any cards, so you cannot do anything at this point to edit decks or view cards. It's completely useless at this point. I'm pretty upset about having to find a new app to use, I can't imagine having to manually redo my catalog all over again. Ridiculous.
Fantastic app. Great for looking up and finding obscure cards and building decks. After several years of use, the images downloaded took up a decent amount on my phone. I was hoping for a way to have them save to my SD card instead of my phone directly to save space, but disappointingly that is not an option.
I asked for a refund within 10 minutes. The base price DOES NOT include collection manager nor the camera feature to add cards. Both are extra payments that more than double the price of the app. I would be willing to pay, IF the camera worked with all sets, bit IT DOES NOT. You need to select 1 set at a time when taking pictures for recognition. The free or cheaper alternative apps do not ask you to do this. They can scan amd compare against all of magic's history. This was the deal breaker
Does not allow building a deck in app, lacks in-line text importing, UX Design leaves quite a lot to be desired with quite unintuitive navigation and functionality, and most notably it crashes everytime I try to switch to the deck tab after I moved the file of my last opened deck. Had to completely reinstall to fix it. All that being said, still probably the best MtG App for deck testing. Will likely still use the deckstats mobile site for everything else other than that while away from the computer though.
This is, in my opinion, an absolutely essential app for any competative Magic player. Perfect for tweaking or brewing any new deck and has great analysis tools. Only problem is that there is currently no pricing displayed. It may be a bug, but their support doesnt seem to work on mobile.
App search function is bad making it easier to just google cards. One letter off and the app doesn't have a clue what you want. Also if you wanted to say see all red sorcery and instants costing 1-2 mana (for example) it only shows a selection of what you requested instead of everything that exists. I want to be able to scroll and read cards at my leisure knowing that I'm seeing everything that meets my basic criteria. Mostly disappointing app with limited usefulness. Camera function is useless
This is an extremely useful app. I've used it for years. However, here lately I'm constantly having to "restore purchases" in order to use my collection tab. Pretty much Everytime I open the app. Also for whatever reason, Wilderness Reclamation keeps multiplying in my sideboard. I've even completely zerod it out, and it still popped back up with 25 copies listed?
This app is ugly. This app works very well. You will pay a *LOT* to use all this apps features. I bought the app for $4. I created a collection... for a $3 add-on I just scanned ~50 cards in around 30 seconds... for a $5 add-on. This app looks like it was designed by someone who wanted to get the most BASIC design done. Literally EVERYTHING in this app could have been made to look better with very little effort. It honestly diminishes the beautiful artwork on the cards. Also, it doesn't seem to scan tokens.
Used to be a great app. Now it crashes every time I try to open any of my decks, so I can't even access the many decklists I've built over the years. I've submitted multiple bug reports over the last few months, but it still crashes every time. I'm on a Pixel 3, not some fringe device.
Changing my review: As soon as I sent a message, I saw amazing communication via email with responses from the same person everyday. They worked hard to get the problems resolved by making changes daily. They kept me updated and would request for me to try the newest of changes as they were made. ...and it is working! (on my birthday, to beat all). This is my favorite app over all the others! It is a very clean and straight forward. It is the perfect tool to enhance Magic in my daily life.
Absolutely horrible release. Makes me think you didn't even QA it at all. Lost all existing decks and they have to be manually reimported one at a time; the new UI is broken in several places on top of being terribly designed, hiding common operations behind more clicks and menus; and the new set symbols don't even work.
There seems to be some bugs in the newest update. I have a pixel 3 with Android 10. Selecting "new deck" from the manage deck file menu does not clear out the deck editor as it used to. When refreshing the app, I'm seeing certain cards increasing in quantity in the currently loaded deck (i.e. 4 Surgical Extraction in the SB, after reload there is 20 surgical extraction in the SB) Hope to see this resolved soon as it is making the deck building functionality fairly unusable.
After the most recent Android update, it constantly crashes on me. I can still search cards but the moment I click on a card or try to go to my own lists, it just crashes. I loved this app and would love to see this updated asap, or be given a fix so I can access my decks and look up cards fast and easy.
Seems Nice. To access the camera scanning you have to pay an extra $2.02. That's fine. Whats not cool is I still have to pick out what set the card is from then take a picture of it. That is not what was advertised on the video on the website. It'd be fine if i could just set it to all sets, but it won't let me as far as I can tell. Quite the bummer.
Fantastic app for deck building and goldfish testing, in fact the best... So long as it isn't night time. It's 2020, all apps should at least have the option of a dark mode! Obviously cards can't be effectively darkened, but the glaring white UI and my desire to deck build at night are at odds. If it weren't for that, I'd give this 5 stars all day long.
I really have no complaints. This has been the main way I build decks before actually putting one together, whether in paper or online. It also has one of best sorting capabilities I have seen, and it's never been hard to find a card, or look through loads of cards at a time.
Editing my review (original below): While I love the layout and usefulness of the app, it's been buggy and broken for roughly a year now. Every so often I have to completely reinstall because the app stops working and then crashes on subsequent openings. Old review: Easy way to sort, organize, and export my collection and decks into Excel. The search feature is easier and more powerful than Gatherer, and I generally use this app to build and price all my decks. I can't recommend it enough.
