Ratings and Reviews
Excellent product
I only scanned in a few things so far to get a feel for the app, worth the premium price. I enjoyed the email I got about "winning" and "losing" cards, that is a useful feature for keeping an eye on the list when Im busy with my stack. Im currently organizing some things so I can finish a huge scan thats about to come in. The best thing about the app is how quickly the cards are recognized and how accurate. The only cards that give me trouble are class cards or sagas, which is to be expected. It's a lot of work for the bots we demand so much from. I read the reviews about the previous hand and I'm glad things have improved, I can't speak on the old system but the new one I am pleased with. I felt good showing my husband (a beta and alpha player who just got back into it because I brought home D&D) this app, he is also happy about seeing his prices without the hassle of constantly checking TCG manually. We can just open the app and see our cards without digging them out etc. We have already collected a lot so this is making things much easier to keep track of. "Hey do you have this card in lorehold yet?" "I'm pretty sure it came in the precon, let me check dragon shield... yep, see its already there :)"

We would definitely like to thank you in the name of all the team for such an amazing support and review and we're very to know that we're helping to provide you and your husband a better experience. We hope to keep meeting your expectations and bring even more to the app :)
Thank you Dragon Shield
I’ve followed this app since the legacy MTG Manager app, and was so disgusted with the pricing model the previous developers came up with that I actually stopped cataloging my cards despite being half way through my collection of 20,000+ cards into this database. It was literally more worth it for me to abandon all that time spent scanning than to use this app. That has changed. I see dragon shield has made this free to catalog, and all other features are bundled into a premium subscription, at $20/year. (Previous developers were asking $100+/ year subscription JUST to have your card slots available for scanning. THANK YOU for making this app accessible and FAIRLY priced. I am excited to start cataloging my collection again. With the right marketing this platform could quite honestly revolutionize card collecting, i have always seen so much potential in this app!!

Hi TonyPjamas. Our dragons are very pleased with your review. :) We hope that you also enjoy our recent updates, we no longer have a card limit, and decks and inventory are now free for everyone. Let us know what you think!
Not a great app for the detail-oriented
[edit: developer responded that the technology is limited to scanning the art only, so I’ve increased my rating by one star. But I guess, then, why can’t that be expanded to scan the rest of the card, to detect variants and promo stamps? Regardless, the issue of displaying mismatched thumbnail/variant name pairings needs to be addressed. And maybe the default should be regular versions of cards.]
The scanner works extremely fast at pulling up the card you’re pointing it at… but it’s terrible at selecting the correct version. With Wizards printing regular, borderless, extended art, alternate art, alternate frame, and promo versions of every card nowadays, any card scanner needs to be able to detect these subtleties in order to pull up the right version of a card. Sadly, this app is unable to do this with much accuracy. It also often displays mismatched card thumbnails and card version names when scanning. And changing to a different version from what it mistakenly auto selects is cumbersome (as are many many other features in this app). Needs some work.

Thank you for the review as we can confirm that our scanner works only with the art displayed in the cards, as we realize that there are limits to the technology presented, however its definitely something we would like to have if there was no limit at all. We're however happy for your feedback.
