About MTG Magic Scanner

Finally an Android application that can scan MTG ( Magic the Gathering ) cards and display their online price!

Now trading cards can be done in just a few seconds, no more need to run to a laptop to search for the prices online and neither the need to write their names, just take pictures!

MTGScanner is for helping you trade cards faster, in the future we could add more features, if users find it useful and like it.

******* If there are problems focusing, please go to settings ( the gear icon or menu - settings ) and try a different focus mode, MACRO should be the best one (if the camera supports it) *******

All sets are supported starting from 8th Edition (2003) to the latest set when using the scanner. Older sets are available using manual search (keyboard search).

Cards are supported in the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Russian. To change the language go to settings, multiple languages can be used at the same time (for a deck with cards from different languages) but the scanner will work slower (especially on devices that don't have quad cores).

The source of the prices is TCGPlayer.com, if you like this app please support it by creating an account when buying cards from within the application. Thank you!

We tried to make the app work on as many devices as possible, it should work on any device with Android 4.0 and a camera, but we can't guarantee it will work on all devices. Also this app needs at least 80 Mbytes of space, if it's not free enough space, it will not work properly or it will not start.

Y70%
by Y####:

Can't contact for suggestions/questions. 0% Token support. Has good CRS but has issues with merged AE from aether cards and absolutely hates dual l's and I's like medallion and illusion. Can export in several formats but no import I can find. Not a problem until you try to split the work between 2 people with two devices. I dont mind paying for an app but give me some way to contact you!

P70%
by P####:

I like it but it has a few problems one of which is the shuffle page only shows a white card with an X through the middle and the other problem is whenever I click to look at the Mana curve the app shuts down. It would be nice if you could choose your source for price look up something like mtggoldfish or TCGplayer as well as the card condition

Z70%
by Z####:

Can someone take this app over? The people who run it are either lazy or don't care of they put out a sub-par app. Some of the sets aren't all the way updated and there are numerous problems that keep it from being decent. I refuse to use an app built by lazy cretins.

Z70%
by Z####:

The negative. Once you scan a series of cards you have to "Export" the list you scanned to whatever category you want (ex Inventory, Deck, Ect). After I scanned a deck in I wanted to add, I exported it to my inventory. I choose "Export" and added it to my "Inventory". Then I went back and scanned in my next deck and "Exported" it to my "inventory" and so on with my 3rd deck. Then I went to view my inventory and discovered that when you "Export" scanned cards it does not clear out your export list. It just builds. And each time you "Export" you add duplicates of your scanned cards. There is no undo of way to remove a card from your inventory. I expected more. App is ok, but I'm sure there are better.

It's an amazing app that everyone in the mtg community should use. I emailed they dudes who made it and got a reply with in one day. Very friendly dudes that obviously put a lot of thought into this app, they most likely are long time players.

I70%
by I####:

Doesn't work well. After recognising most of the text, it could just narrow down to a few options. Most of the time it doesnt read the "l" letter.

C70%
by C####:

I want this app to work so much. I love the concept. However I just spent a frustrating several minutes trying to scan onslaught and legion cards with white text, I even enabled the invert feature for white cards. It still did not work well. I really really want this to work. Would even consider making a donation if we knew it was improving

H70%
by H####:

Defiantly the best MTG scanner out there, although I haven't found any cards worth more then a dollar *tear* I still love scanning them it's fun to see how much the cards are worth.

Z70%
by Z####:

It has its problems, but it is also the best out there. The problems I see, 1) it adds to many cards, 2) auto save doesn't auto save into library.

U70%
by U####:

Takes too long to scan. If it scans at all. Faster just to look it up myself. Waste of time. App is complete crap

Z70%
by Z####:

Great scanner app. Not having any issues with focus or scanning the cards into my inventory or deck. I really wish the total price for the specific scanned cards would continue to show in a tab after sending the scanned list to a deck, inventory etc. Seems to be lost after added them to a location.

Z70%
by Z####:

Awesome app. Wish it had an undo action though. Accidently exported a deck twice and it completely messed up my inventory.

R70%
by R####:

Seems to have failed to add any of the new sets since Eldritch Moon which is now a block and a half ago. Normally it doesn't take that long to update.

I70%
by I####:

This app is pretty good. It scans well and shows prices. . My only issue is I usually buy and sell on eBay and sometimes these prices are totally different than what they say.

C70%
by C####:

Didn't even make it to the first screen. It just crashed every time I tried to open it.

When can we expect Amonkhet? It not being implemented yet is my only complaint.

Z70%
by Z####:

This is nice. I wish it had TCGPLAYER market price as an option.

Z70%

The scanner still needs work, but it really cuts down time on cataloging decks and is a handy resource!

Z70%
by Z####:

Can't get name of card to focus.

Z70%
by Z####:

It's the best! It's convenient and it feels good to finally have an accurate price guide that's an app!

Z70%
by Z####:

Needs a lot of work, but its really nice to keep track of cards you own, needs a history button of what you've done

R70%
by R####:

TAKES almost40 seconds for card to register, if not a lot longer! ZERO STARS!!!!! I'd rather just type it in, at least that is way faster!

Z70%
by Z####:

The scanner is a little buggy but other then that excellent for starting a catalog of my cards

Z70%
by Z####:

It would be great if it worked. Tried to scan a card in and it couldn't read/find the name on the card.

Z70%
by Z####:

Doesn't even read the font from the old cards wtf. Downloaded for nothing.

N70%
by N####:

Usefull for quickly looking up prices, especially for stacks of cards.

No support for amonkhet yet :/

I like the scanning and the organizational set up options...extremely helpful

crash on startup

I enjoy how fast it works

S70%
by S####:

I can only congratulate the developer. I've tried about 5 other apps for cataloging and pricing my cards and none came even close to the functionality this one offers. Not to mention that it allows you to scan the cards and not type them in one by one. Sure... it has trouble scanning about 1 card in 100, so you have to retry a couple of times, and you can only see the prices in your decks if you individually open the cards, but that's a small price to pay for such a powerful tool. I absolutely recommend it!

Z70%
by Z####:

Was directed to Play Store to buy unlimited cards in inventory. Probably only scanned 250 or so. :( Foil prices seem wrong as well.

Z70%
by Z####:

Scanner crashes as soon as it reads the card. Fully updated HTC One m8

W70%
by W####:

Crashes every time I scan a card. Needs to be fixed

Z70%
by Z####:

This app works great. Low reviews are likely due to user error or its an old version they reviewed. I would like to see an update that allows you to view the cards (artwork and such) other than that great app

Z70%
by Z####:

I do not do much trading, but I love the exportable files! I have my entire library backed up on my computer! No more digging through decks of cards! Hoping to see Eldritch Moon update soon, but it's a little soon to complain.

Z70%
by Z####:

Had to tweak the settings a little at first but afterwards works like a dream. Only time it has trouble is with the white titles. Read a bunch of the reviews and I feel like most the negative opinions are either user error or maybe an old version.

X70%
by X####:

It shows that it can read my cards but doesnt scan.... This app sucks it need lots of work.....

Z70%
by Z####:

It works like 0.01% of the time. Crap crap crap app. They just want your info off your phone.

Z70%
by Z####:

maybe my hands are unsteady, some cards take longer than others, but overall very happy with the app.
