Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We have gotten into many arguments over the ruling for cards and their effects and such, and every single time we have pulled out this one app and we learned how. It is by far the best magic app we have ever had.
It's a great app we really like using it. It's silk and easy to use.
This MtG app is good because it includes a glossary. We just downloaded a different app because we wanted more visual aesthetics but we just downloaded this again because we needed to look something up and the other one couldn't.
It has most of the info and rules you're looking for, but it's been missing a few things we've tried to look up. The rules and glossary don't have links though so when it sends you off to look something up you have to back out and go hunt it down in another category. It also doesn't put numbers on each entry so you have to either count down from the top yourself (starting at 0) or keep going in and back out until you find the number you're looking for.
We love this app. We had fun reading the articles every day, and was excited to see new ones. Recently they stopped updating in the article tab. We now have to delete and reinstall the app to see new articles. It's very frustrating. If this was fixed we would recommend this app.
It's useful but the rules button causes it to crash almost instantly. It needs a countdown timer and the ability to add another player.
We were hoping this app would prove useful. Unfortunately, it crashes every time we open it & choose the Rules section. PLEASE FIX THIS APP.
Just got back into mtg and wanted a health counter. Great timing.
Needs to track multiple players health.
It keeps closing every time we try to look at something.
