## Review summary

Users praise the app for its comprehensive card database and ease of use, with quick card lookups and accessible information. However, the app is repeatedly criticized for being outdated, with missing newer MTG cards, and for gating features behind paywalls and subscriptions. The search and filtering are often described as unreliable or difficult, and there are reports of bugs, crashes, and a cluttered interface. Overall, it’s a useful reference tool when current data is available, but many reviews call for updates, fairer pricing, and a more robust, up-to-date database.

### Pros

- Comprehensive card database with extensive card information
- Easy to use and navigate
- Free and open-source
- Good for quick lookups of cards by name

### Cons

- Outdated data and lack of latest MTG sets/cards
- Pricing model with paywalls and subscriptions; full access not worth it
- Weak search and filtering; can't sort by color; inconsistent results
- Bugs, crashes, and cluttered UI with heavy caching/performance issues
