Ratings and reviews

It's a decent way to make an inventory of your collection. However, the scanner can't recognize expansion symbols. Also, it thinks 90% of the cards I scanned were from "The List." So scanning and uploading cards to their service is a slow, tedious process. You have to correct the app on 75% of the cards you scan because it can't read expansion symbols.

They make a really great easy to use app. It's easy to scan cards in and have prices right away. The app is lacking compared to the website, but it's a great start. The website is a powerful tool to organize your collection and build decks, I'd give them five stars if their app could do what the website does. The only down side is you can only see your first 1000 cards for free. Then you need to pay a reoccurring fee. I'd be more willing to pay if it was a one time charge.

Decided to do the Knight's subscription with Card Castle (web app) since the UX looks modern and simple, and it's got most of the features I'm looking for in a collection manager. This app is the intake tool that lets you scan cards using your phone camera. Works pretty well, got 300 cards done in an hour and a half. But, it's got about a 50% hit rate with the proper set and card number so you have to validate everything manually. Foils can be a bit glitchy too. But, sure beats manual entry!
