Functional enough. I've got a large collection (estimated 10,000 cards) to catalogue. I've blasted through about 500 or so with only about 90min of effort. Ads occasionally slow the experience but the UI is reasonably good. Only thing I wish I could do is bulk-edit some things such as buy price and/or purchase date. Also, the UX going from card-scanning to library-editing feels a bit clunky, too many steps when I wish I could switch between modes with one swipe. Can't complain at free though!

A fantastic start, however it only prices one at once, rather than trades like mtgfamiliar, and doesnt store collections that can be several thousand cards, like decked builder. However it is a very good starting point and if it can implement the best parts of the other apps it will be the best deck manager on the app store by a long way.

We have made quite a few updates and bug fixes, as well as many features were added. Also the inventory and decks are now free for all since a recent update. We hope you enjoy these changes.

Wasted 3 hours of my day. Scanned cards, saved them, checked the set number (the scanner keeps assuming cards are full art variants, also is hopeless with sagas and other non-standard card layouts), saved them again, went back to my inventory folder and...they're gone. Not just 'not added' to my inventory but it actually undid a couple hours' scanning?! Total cards in folder before I started scanning was ~350, after scanning another ~200 the total in folder went DOWN to ~225? Unfit for purpose.
