MTG Scanner - Lion’s Eye

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.

I started looking for a new app after I had been using stopped updating new sets in a timely fashion and responding to customer inquiries or tech support. There are a lot of deck builders on the market now, and free ones on the web, but I wanted one that could also manage my collection. With Lion’s Eye I hit the jackpot! Scanning cards on my iPhone is a breeze! I prefer typing the cards into the Search option on my Mac though, just more room on my desk for cards. With the lightning fast search it previews all the different possible card names as you type, and when you select the right one it brings up all the cards printed with that name, with the ones you own on top. As you easily add a card you can select foil or not, and the image changes for easy viewing! If you click on any of the cards it drills down into the details of the card you can see pretty much everything about it. Creating decks is a breeze too. I make them through Search too actually, it’s just a click, or long press, to either create, add or remove a card from a deck. The only deck related thing to can’t do from Search and have to go to the Deck section for is to Name it, set the Format and assign an icon if you want. The ability to gather information about your collection at a glance is incredible. There’s basic graphical information right in the Collection, but you can also dial in on specific collection information in the Categories section. Lastly, Orlando, the developer, is incredibly responsive. I think he’s actually an AI sometimes because it seems like he never sleeps! The Discord he set up for the app allows users to request features, report bugs (nothings perfect) and just give each other tips. In a way I’m glad that other app left me hanging, because Lion’s Eye is a great app and I am sad it didn’t exist sooner.

Overall, the best "multiplatform" solution I've found so far, but would love better integration with Moxfield and MTGA.

I love LOVE being able to have a record of my cards on here the frustrating part is how slow it is to add your collection via the scan function. Unless you pay for the subscription you have to go through several extra steps which is stupid. But otherwise so far I like the app.
