Great app for building and organizing decks with a robust and intuitive search function.
Regularly updated with new card sets often before their official release.
Allows digital collection management and deck testing with a helpful interface.

Frequent app crashes and instability, especially on Android devices, making it unusable at times.
Key features like collection management and card scanning require separate costly in-app purchases.
Search results are cluttered with unwanted cards such as art cards, tokens, and digital-only cards, complicating deck building.

- “This app has it all, is very easy to use, and there have been no glitches with it.”
- “Runs great even on my less-than-beefy HTC Wildfire S.”
- “The app frequently freezes and requires restarting, particularly on Samsung devices.”

monetization

The monetization model is heavily criticized for excessive and unclear microtransactions, with many features locked behind additional in-app purchases despite an initial app cost. While some users find certain paid features worthwhile, overall there is frustration over the pricing strategy and lack of transparency.
- “A great app for cataloguing collections and deck building, and in my opinion, well worth the price (in-app purchases included).”
- “I got the app to try for just deck building and ended up buying the collection and camera in-app purchases.”
- “The in-app purchases are worth the extra couple of quid.”
- “Way way way too many microtransactions and very unclear payment model.”
- “None of the features it claims to have are actually available until you make in-app purchases, even though you have to pay for the app initially.”
- “I paid for this, and then more in-app purchases?”

Users appreciate the beautiful card artwork showcased in the app, but recent updates have caused some cards to display incorrect or missing artwork, detracting from the experience. Additionally, limitations on saving artwork to an SD card negatively impact usability and internal memory management.
- “Use this for my fantasy decks, keeps track and shows all the artwork.”
- “It hasn't always been that way and I think the app just got updated or the database got updated because some cards aren't showing the artwork.”
- “Would be 5 star if all the artwork matched appropriate cards.”
- “The only thing that rubs me wrong is I can't save the artwork to my SD card which makes me save it to my phone and jacks up the internal memory.”
