MTG Scanner - Dragon Shield

This app has been a great help to me to take inventory of my cards —long forgotten in the attic— in preparation of their sale. The export functionality is particularly useful in sharing the information with others. There are some aspects that can be improved and I have raised these to Big AR support, who have been very prompt, helpful and clear in their replies. Keep up the good work!

Verry useful app , good support !

Enjoyed using the app until functions were locked behind paywalls. I understand ad support, but an 10 free scans a day is unusable.

Great app DS team! If we create a deck can we have a way to push those cards to our inventory would be awesome. Also export into MTGA format would be great. Currently have to use Chat GPT to convert it for me.

Overall, very useful app. I like that it allows me to sort my cards easily and move them between folders. The win or loss percentage is also helpful. I have scanned my entire collection with very few problems. There are a few things that prevent it from getting the fifth star, though. For some reason, it keeps thinking things are the card “Savannah” multiple times when using the scan feature. It is also very bad at scanning Saga cards. Finally, it would be really helpful if there were a way I could access statistics such as colors and rarity percentages for the whole collection. I can do it for individual folders and decks, but there isn’t a way to export the list of cards and import it into a new deck.

The database is sufficient; would be fun to see Arena exclusive cards added. The UX is amazing; I especially like how the app doesn’t promt you to turn on notifications until you first visit the notifications menu. I do wish that after adding a card to a deck and returning to the text card search that the existing text in the search bar was autohighlighted so that I could immideately start typing the next card I want to search. All searches might be even better if they incorporated fuzzy searching. Additionally, the app desperately needs background app refresh downloading to decrease wait times at launch.

This app does really well at cataloguing and keeping track of prices for your cards and helps keep it all organized. Love how quickly the camera picks up on cards most of the time and changing editions is honestly relatively easy. My biggest issue is the lack of sync between inventory and deck lists. While I get there may be some nuance to deck lists that may make it difficult to have them transfer 1 to 1 (e.g. your deck list has cards you want to get but don’t have), it would be easier to be able to have that synchronicity and just adjust as needed in one tab or the other. It feels very much of a hassle to essentially scan a card twice for it to show up in two places. I don’t know anything about app coding, so it could be more difficult than I understand. But it’s a feature that’s making it difficult for me to want to continue updating the app with my deck collection, even if it’s such a useful tool to do so

The primary thing I love about this app is the speed of the bulk scanning, haven’t found one that is faster, just be sure to sort out foils into a separate pile. I haven’t had much success using it with with showcase cards, and for some reason black cards regardless of what lighting or position I use are incredibly difficult to scan, sometimes impossible. I usually have to switch to ManaBox which is slower compared to bulk scanning feature this app has, but you can only scan what you scan! I’d honestly consider premium if I could use this scanner for all my needs, and didn’t have to edit my cvs sheet to export for moxfield. As is, I can only entertain it for tracking high value cards, since I can’t scan any of my bulk black cards.

Please oh please stop updating the layout every other week. As far as functionality goes it works pretty well most of the time. Or at least when it’s not assuming every third card is serialized or Savannah. Just stop changing the layout constantly, it’s only getting harder to navigate.

Tried to re-login to my account and it wouldn’t accept my password so I tried to reset my password but the app said there was no account with my email, so I tried to make a new account but the app said the email was already taken, absolute bull
