Ratings and reviews

I like this app, and I would up my rating, but I'm frustrated with how the advanced search feature differs from the online version, and the online version glitches out by requiring you to select to continue online or via app each time the page is refreshed. This makes it impossible to continue searching, and I have to start over. Please, update the app's advanced search feature to include the feature that "__" highlights an exact phrase. Also missing some cards. Updated to remove another star.

This app is obligatory in order to play in local tournaments. However, it does not work very well. I have issues with it operating at its most basic level. The biggest problems are bugs (there are countless that occur often), crashes during high user volume (every prerelease), and lack of user functionality. It is difficult to report draws without reporting it to the tournament organizer, which why bother using an app. Also, I have had issues with receiving first round byes at about an 80% clip.

Gatherer kept pestering me saying it was a better experience in the app, but it's demonstrably worse, to the point where the same search yields different results! It also takes forever to load a single "page" of like six or eight cards, whereas the Gatherer website will instantly spit out dozens of results at the same time. I bet the app is useful in other ways, but I literally only downloaded it because of advertising that it was a better way to use Gatherer, and that's all I need, so 1 star.
