The best there is – MTG Manager Review

I should preface this by saying I have never felt compelled to write an app. store review; this is my first. MTG Manager was exactly what I was looking for. It is a very quick and easy way to catalog my rapidly-growing collection of Magic the Gathering cards. I was skeptical about the speed or ability of the scanner but it is much quicker than searching for cards by name. I was able to enter over 250 cards in minutes. The scanner picked out cards quickly and correctly even in a dimly lit room, it is quite impressive. The card limit is a little limited for the free version of this app. I spent $10 and unlocked 5000 slots. It might seem expensive to some but it is truly worth the price. For ten bucks I can see virtually every card in my collection, track their value and build decks around them. It’s awesome. None of the other apps that claim to do this perform as well. Cards and screens look great on an iPad. I would look at this more as a way to categorize and inventory cards. You can certainly build decks and track value, but the ability to scan/enter cards quickly is the biggest benefit of this app. As other reviewers have mentioned, it would be REALLY nice to have an “add to deck” button, to prevent having to scan or enter cards multiple times or start a new folder. I also haven’t been able to change a card’s set/expansion with the edit button after scanning and have had to rescan to change the set of the card (although it can be done in seconds). I’d also like to be able to sort by rarity, filtering commons, uncommons, rares and mythics with the click of a button. Typically sorting by value will group the rares and mythics but not always. An all-inclusive “premium” option that grants unlimited card slots and inventory space for all past and future blocks would be very much appreciated; I would spend more to get more. Scanning split cards can be a little tricky but with practice you can scan those easily as well. My criticisms and complaints are very minimal. People that mostly play modern should be aware that you will have to pay $1.99 to unlock War of the Spark, Ravnica Allegiance, Guilds of Ravnica, Core 2019 and 2020 ($1.99 each). For an app. of this quality, I’m happy to support the team financially. But cheapskates beware-you will have to pay to fully use this app. Overall, this is an outstanding app and among the first I’ve been willing to spend money on. This is the first app I’ve reviewed due to the quality of the product. The team truly seems to care about customer service and the quality of their app. Other apps claim to do what MTG Manager does but are lacking. Anyone looking to organize their unmanageable collection should seriously consider this app. I’ve already recommended it to two friends who were equally impressed. Solid A
