Review summary

Decked Builder is appreciated for its powerful and accurate search, simple interface, and utility in deck building and organization. However, recent updates introducing digital card art clutter and poor integration have frustrated users. Stability issues including frequent crashes and broken features such as card scanning and pricing are common complaints. Users desire more control over search results and better bug fixes. Despite these problems, long-time users recognize the app's strengths but express disappointment in its recent decline and urge improvements or alternative options.

Pros

Powerful and accurate search features including oracle text search and filtering.
Useful for building, organizing, and cataloging decks and collections.
Simple, slick, and user-friendly interface compared to other apps.
Long-term reliability for many years before recent issues emerged.
Ability to export decks and collection data is appreciated.

Cons

Recent updates introduced card art and digital card variants which reduce usability and clutter search results.
Frequent app crashes and instability, sometimes requiring reinstallation to fix.
Card scanning feature is buggy or non-functional on some devices.
Pricing and deck purchasing features are inaccurate or broken, especially due to misidentification of card versions.
Lack of useful settings to toggle between card art versions, digital versions, and physical printings, causing confusion.

2026-03-27	Al*****	Used to be 5 star, but no option to filter out art cards and some cards have alt art foreign language on them too. This really gets in the way of the deck building experience when searching for potential cards. If they fix that I'd say 5 star again.

2026-03-23	Al*****	used to be better when it came to finding cards and building decks but now seems alot worse. my main issue is, and maybe this is in my head, that playtesting decks is not random. it gives me that same selection if around 15ish hands with the exact same cards in the exact same order. the draws of those hands are the same as well

2026-02-16	Jo*****	I have been using this app for over ten years. The search tool available here is top notch. Still use frequently and would recommend to everyone.

2026-02-15	Ja*****	this app WAS fantastic but now it will show the full art no text version of cards and you can even flip to see the description and you cant turn it off. Hopefully they fix it because this app was great

2026-01-23	Ni*****	Fantastic app. Great for looking up and finding obscure cards and building decks. After several years of use, the images downloaded took up a decent amount on my phone. I was hoping for a way to have them save to my SD card instead of my phone directly to save space, but disappointingly that is not an option. UPDATE (01/23/26): Great app, but unfortunately it takes up a lot of space as time goes on. Probably deleting it today after seeing it is currently taking up 20GB of storage

2026-01-15	Ko*****	I bought the app over a decade ago and have been using it ever since. In my oppinion it's the best deck-building app there is and has been my go-to magic decklist organizer for all this time. The search option is fantastic, since you can tune it way better and more intuitively than for example the Gatherer and exporting lists is easy. Only downside: You can no longer look at or read the backside of doublesided cards, it's bugged for some time now.

2025-12-31	Ty*****	I've used the app before the first I made something truly diabolical but now it doesn't want to load to purchase new cards. any suggestions

2025-12-23	Ar*****	It loads unnecessary art cards as defaults. the filter to search without them or to remove them is tedious. it'll add them by default. viewing the backside of a card doesn't work; you need to select the text-only option. Some of the filters are things I've never heard of anyone use. there's Alchemy cards on here. anyone who plays Alchemy does all their work ON Arena. it takes up space on this app.
