Ratings and reviews

A good app that has all of the official documents in one place and keeps them up-to-date. My only complaint so far is that Bugko takes a little longer to open than some of the alternatives, like MTG Familiar. EDIT: As of 6/9/24, this app no longer functions properly. Opening it yields "Initialize Error." EDIT: Latest update has resolved the "Initialize Error" issue!

One of, if not the best MtG app on any platform. I've been using it since it was a Windows Phone exclusive. Everything you want in a MtG app, and while there are some performance problems, deck editor can be sluggish, the sheer amount of features more than make up for any issues. Developer is very communicative and replies to bug reports within hours most of the time, sometimes within a few minutes. Absolutely would recommend Bugko over any other MtG app.

Shows promise, but slow and buggy. Can't quickly flip through cards and see their properties. You have to long press, and select an option each time to see the card text. Very inconvenient. Better options are available. For deck building and search I'd recommend MTG Familiar (free - but no import function), Decked Builder ($4), or Top Decked (free - but cluttered interface).

What's new

We been told that Foundations will be a 5 years set, but no body told us there are 700+ cards in there! Another 700+ for Jumpstart!
We have completed the app back-end upgrade, but we are still working on fixing small bug and crash here and there.
