1. [R1] Magic 1/5 · GB Tried to host an event: Had to resort to pen and paper as every time the phone locked the results entered so far for the round were deleted. Not sure I trust it to run an event on the phone
2. [R4] Magic 2/5 · GB Glitchy and missing features: This is THE app for playing paper magic and it not quite there. Round timer constantly reseting to 50 minutes. And can hang or be kicked out of events randomly. Also missing features that my fellow android users seem to have, like more detailed break down of stands performance. Also a new update that android only seems to have, shows your historical performance, that’
3. [R9] Magic 3/5 · GB Great when it works: This app is great when it works, but it’s glitchy as hell when it doesn’t. It can make submitting results a real pain. The Gatherer part of the app is great, though.
4. [R10] Magic 1/5 · GB Awful: As someone who’s going to competitive level events most weeks. Using this app is a nightmare. My round timer is always at 50 minutes. Logs people out, doesn’t show parings etc. Bring back DCI numbers and paper parings.
5. [R6] Magic 3/5 · GB Handy but does not work for 2 sided cards!!: App is great to have all MTG cards handy, but does not show ANY double sided card. Specially the newly added Battles, please fix this!
6. [R8] Magic 4/5 · GB Almost the only MtG app you need: Great functionality across the board, and looking forward to in person events to get pairings directly on the app rather than crowding round a screen in the LGS. Love the fact it can also be set to track floating mana, but why does it not keep a record of the game?!? Having a history page to check a previous point in the game would be so handy, especially when a j
7. [R12] Magic 1/5 · GB What’s the point: Each update wipes the history so you can’t keep track of your previous events. Annoying
8. [R2] Magic 4/5 · GB The App needs fixing: The Companion app is not opening it needs to be fixed.
9. [R13] Magic 1/5 · GB Only used because events force you to do so: 4 years since release and still missing some of the most basic functionality. You use a code to enter events, but can’t see that code on the event to share with others. No historical event data - one of the best features of the previous dci system. Regularly logs you out and doesn’t retain username or password, or seem to have ability to retrieve from d
10. [R16] Magic 1/5 · GB Fails to log in: It requests my WOTC login . Pressing enter it come back with red field border, in guessing it is registering a failure in email and password entry.
11. [R7] Magic 2/5 · GB The companion app, that sometimes helps: Quite a helpful little tool for finding locations to play magic, but currently on IOS the dates are completely Brocken, it shows all the information for the place to play, but the dates fields say Label / 03 / Label, the calendar button doesn’t seem to do anything when clicked either, I think maybe the developers left out the attributes. As far as everythin
12. [R15] Magic 1/5 · GB Can’t adjust rounds: I don’t know why this app forces you to stick to three rounds. Two headed giant promised in recent update but I can’t find any way to access it.
13. [R3] Magic 3/5 · GB Useful for tourneys but tricky to navigate: The Magic: The Gathering Companion is a mobile app which helps its users host and/or join local Magic: The Gathering gaming events in various formats, from one-on-one Standard duels to battle-royale Commander matches. For players, this app is useful for entering tournaments and tracking life points during matches. For hosts, this app is useful for mana
14. [R5] Magic 5/5 · GB Great 5*: Really helpful & great to see you’re results & scores. Highly recommended to all MTG players.
15. [R21] EA SPORTS FC™ 26 Companion 5/5 · US At least in this app I am actually able to get in and see how my players are selling, SBC, and EVOS: Fun.👍
16. [R23] EA SPORTS FC™ 26 Companion 5/5 · US Awesome: I like I how when your not home you could do a sbc and pack cards
17. [R35] MTG Life Counter App 5/5 · US Amazing!: It’s made playing MTG fun and cutesy! I love being able to choose what commander i’m playing and have them as my background image!
18. [R38] MTG Life Counter App 5/5 · US Great!: I have been playing magic for about a year now, and this is the best life tracker app ever. If you can’t find something or you think something is wrong, look at the settings and you can probably make it happen. Love this app
19. [R41] MTG Life Counter App 5/5 · US I have some suggestions, but still have to give it 5 stars: Honestly, a near perfect life counter. I’ve used other ones people have, but they don’t feel as polished as Lotus. Including the extra game modes is awesome, especially with how much the cards can cost and I have shame and don’t use proxies. I love being able to use my go to commander, Mathas fiend seeker, as my background without having
20. [R44] MTG Life Counter App 5/5 · US Best app ever: I think this is a great app and has a lot of cool features
21. [R31] MTG Life Counter App 1/5 · US Bug makes this app nearly unusable…kinda: Recently it stopped working well. Whenever someone takes commander damage, the app doesn’t visually show the damage, until more damage or health is gained,lost. So what happens, player takes commander damage. Then we have to add 1 and subtract 1 of normal damage to get it to update. It’s such an inconvenient thing where I’m exploring another App. Reinstall
22. [R33] MTG Life Counter App 3/5 · US New Bugs: Please update the app. It is great and very streamlined but there is a current issue with adding commander damage that doesn’t update until you change life totals manually.
23. [R42] MTG Life Counter App 3/5 · US What am I missing?: Why is commanded damage combined? There needs to be a way to separate it for each player. What’s the point if it can’t do that?
24. [R22] EA SPORTS FC™ 26 Companion 1/5 · US Bad app to pair with a bad game: I thought this would be useful but it signs me out every time even when I put stay signed in it also says I’m playing on console so I can’t access the app even though I turned my console off
