Sorted: TCG Collection Manager

Scans way faster and better than TCG scanner but it gets stuck on the card you just scanned . I have to close the app each time and open back up to scan the next card .

I’m moving over from the Dragon Shield app, and this hasn’t been the best experience overall. Pros: The scanner is a lot smoother. It recognizes basic lands a lot better than the Dragon Shield app used to. As long as it doesn’t crash my app during the next update (like Dragon Shield’s did one time) I’ll be happy with it. Many of the user tools are the same, but in different places. The layout is the same as DS was. Inputting my DS collection was stress free and pretty seamless. Cons: I manage a significant collection, and need to search often when a contributor wants to see if we have a specific item in inventory. I’m also frequently adding copies of cards we already own. The search bar is atrocious. It doesn’t accept input properly, so I have to back out and retype a few times before I can get it to actually search. It also doesn’t seem to like space bar input, and if I don’t type really fast, it runs words together and messes up the search… and if I do type really fast, it deletes a letter and also messes up the search. The app is plain, with no news articles or graphics other than the cards. It makes it a boring experience. The price layout is the same, but configuration is next to impossible to find. I’m used to using TCG mid. I don’t know what this app shows, but it shows the collection significantly less valuable, which is not helpful for submitting insurance riders for coverage. I need an accurate replacement value directly. The “rate my app?” question pops up 3-4 times in a session, interrupting my archives after I’ve already spent more time than I want to struggling with the search function, which means I then have to try to get my input in again. It’s so frustrating. I hope that submitting this will stop that pop up. Overall, it’s better than what TCG’s app became and worse than DS’s app was. Fixing the search so it is smooth and seamless will go a long way towards raising my score for this app.
