Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We think Im experiencing bugs that are rare, and Im here to bring them up. First and foremost, we love the app. Being able to scan cards is phenomenal, but Ive registered a few decks now, and only 5 have actually stuck around. Others have disappeared completely, and some say that they exist with a certain commander, but then all the cards we added to it are all gone. When we go to edit said decks, the app crashes with code 504. Also, we might be the one messing this up, but none of our cards in our decks are transferring to our collection. We dont know if Im doing something wrong. Otherwise, really well done app.
Any plans to have a full screen iPad view rather then an iPhone view on the iPad screen.
Really enjoying all the app has to offer. Its intuitive and allows for customization.
Great app for the game, loved it.
Wanted a life counter, let us tell you it had a fully fleshed out customizable one that Id give this app 5 stars alone for. But the app also has many other features such as the ability to scan cards and have its info and price auto pop up seamlessly. Etc. Worth the download. All in one app for magic other than playing it directly.
Great app that every single time you scan a card you have to close the app and reopen it to scan a new card which is kind of tedious we wonder if theyve noticed a bug and if theyre going to fix it.
Love the app so far used it for the first time with our playgroup and they all liked it! One issue Im running into is when we try customizing our profile the app keeps crashing. Everything else works well for us so far except the profile customization. Cant wait to continue using this app to track our groups commander games.
We love the idea of this app and how ambitious it is for meeting every need a magic player may have from scanning cards, life tracking, play testing, and even letting you track your wins per deck. But thats where we run into a problem, the deck building (at least for commander) is simply pick your commander and done. With the option of plugging a URL to a deck list from other sites such as moxfield. We personally havent used moxfield and was hoping to use this app to replace ManaBox as that has a 6 deck limit for free users and on the ad we saw for this unlimited decks is advertised. So we were pretty surprised we arent able to look up cards and add them to the decks. We hope this is a feature being added soon and encourage the devs on their hard work.
We use the card search filters a lot. We like finding budget options for deck building. The trackers in games are good too.
Our group has to play over discord/webcam as we all live in different states and we wanted to know if there was a way for everyone to see a live feed of our life totals, like a spectator mode where one player controls it but we can all physically see our life totals/counter on our devices in real time. Love this app so much for keeping track of our win percentages :) lmk thank you.
Our playgroup at our local LGS here in LA use this and absolutely love it.
We really dont understand how an app so detailed, intuitive, and all around just amazing can be absolutely free with no ads. But its incredible. And we cant believe we JUST discovered it. Keep up the good work! Im honestly stoked to start purchasing creator stuff like artistic themes and what not. PERFECT MTG APP.
Best all-in-one mtg app out there!!! Our only complaint/comment would be if there could be a way to get rid of the monarch token once its been pulled out. We know typically its never supposed to go away once its introduced but Ive accidentally pulled it out on several occasions and our ocd kills us when we cant put it back.
Super responsive on the Discord. Wonderful app.
Ive used this app for around a year now and it works amazingly. However, just recently, the search function has been showing us multiple copies of the same card with different arts rather than having each art viewable in the details of the one card. This has made it more difficult for us to gauge how many cards there are of a certain type, or how many cards that do this one thing into a deck.
Great app, its quick and easy to use. Only have one thing to add, there is no way to draw a game and save it to your history.
This app made the game so much more fun.
After the first game we played a half trophy appeared in light grey on the screen. No matter what we do including restarting the game, kill the players, completely reopen the app this half of trophy just stays on the screen. We are really frustrated that we cant use this app that has so many wonderful options for our recorded games because of what feel like an unintentional watermark. If it is a watermark we would like the option to pay for the app to remove it.
