Tom responded to my email mid-game when my friends and I had a problem and restarted his server to fix the problem on the spot. Awesome app. Great help by Tom. Your app connects me and my buds together every week, even though we're scattered across the country. Keep doing what you're doing!

This is a great extension to play MTG over hangouts. I find the life counter, dice roll, and card look up make remote games so much easier. I do find the card scanner is a little tricky to get to work at times but I think that is caused by the sleeves my cards are in and I don't really see a way around it. Regardless, this is the best way I've found to play MTG with real cards remotely.

Super Idee! Leider geht die Kartenerkennung nicht so gut.
