MTG Scanner - Lion’s Eye

Removing existing features and hiding them behind a subscription is against App store ToS.

I was amazed by the way this app works, but sadly there is no European market (like Cardmarket). TCG isn’t appropriate in Europe. Additionally the import is to complicated. Why do I need a Scryfall Id? There is kind of an protocol/format other apps are using (ManaBox and Dragonshield MTG Scanner) Would love to use this app, but it’s to complicated to transfer my collection. If there is a cardmarked integration and the possibility to import a csv format those called apps provide, I would love to rate this 5/5 and use it!

I've been using the app for several months now and I'm very satisfied. I've used similar apps before, but each had a major disadvantage, such as limited space for cards or an overlay that was too confusing. Before buying the app, I already had contact with the developer via twitter, where he answered all the questions I had quickly and in a friendly manner. The basic design of this app is similar to the Apple files app, which makes it very easy to navigate and sort. The Scryfall database that the app uses has almost all cards in its library, which means that you can digitize your collection almost without any problems and all languages ​​of the cards are supported. Personally, I have almost exclusively German cards and of my almost 3000 cards only about 20 were not available in my language in the database, which is why I added them in English. In addition, the app offers some features that make the collection more manageable in general, so you can sort your cards according to colors, mana costs, rarity and many other criteria. The deck building feature is also a great function to quickly have an overview of all your cards and thus to build decks more easily. The deck building could, however, still need some improvements, for example it would be useful if you could hold down on one in the overview of all your cards in order to be able to select several at the same time and thus add them to a deck at the same time. The app also shows some details about the collection, such as the number of different cards or the value of the collection. However, the value of the cards is only given in $ and relates to the prices from tcgplayer.com, which means that only English cards support this feature. I would be happy if the support for platforms like cardmarket would be added in the future, so that a price in € would be available regardless of the language of the cards. All in all, I am very satisfied with the app and look forward to future updates.

Can’t select which variant of a card I have after the scanner picks the wrong one.

I like the integration with Scryfall search syntax. However, the card database does not get downloaded so it literally has to reach out to Scryfall to do a search. This causes lag on the keyboard since it actively searches as you type. I type fast, so I frequently have to wait a second for the app to catch up when doing searches. Very frustrating. The discover tab is neat but I didn’t find myself using it much. It’s also just too many clicks to add a card to a deck. Search the card, click the deckbox icon, click the deck of choice, select the board, then select foil/nonfoil. It’d be nice if the plus button could add a card to the most recent deck instead of add to collection. Would make building decks on mobile much faster.

Developer is super responsive and the app is better than all the others I tried. Love how simple the interface is and isn’t loaded down with adware like some of the other apps! Thanks for a great app and thanks for the quick responses to questions.

I spend quite a bit of time in the MTG space with a lot of interaction with developers of apps and websites related to Magic. This is one of the best apps that I've used, and probably *the* best scanner that I've encountered. I have used many scanners and this is the only one that I've had success with consistently and accurately scanning funky SLD cards. The owner and developer is very receptive to feedback, active daily on Discord, and noticeably passionate about the project. The price is fair and absolutely worth the cost of what...a small black coffee once per month? Easy decision for me. I highly recommend this app!

I’m really impressed with this app. The design is intuitive and visually appealing and foil effect is really cool! I think the customer service is the best I’ve ever experienced too. Highly recommended!

This app has a really great design, the best of any I tried. It’s also very feature rich and well worth the price. Good work!

I’m really impressed with how this app has grown. The advanced filtering and tagging are really good features to help me manage my collection.
