What’s New

Version 5.1

Scryfall search syntax is now natively supported for Lion's eye Pro subscribers! You can now use familiar search terms like “c:u t:creature” when filtering your collection or decks to instantly find all blue creatures in your collection or decks. Update your collection and decks in the in-app settings, then try it out and see how more powerful searching has become.

I’ve been tirelessly mapping Scryfall’s powerful search capabilities to work without an internet connection. It even supports negating terms, using “or”, and nesting terms in parentheses.

I’ve also added exclusive Lion’s Eye functions to make collection management even better. Now you can filter by attributes tracked by Lion's Eye like quantity, nonfoil, foil, favorite, card condition, purchase price, and more. Some examples: “is:favorite” to find favorites, “condition:mp” to find cards in moderately played condition. Visit lionseye.craft.me/syntax to learn more.

Most Scryfall functions are available offline, and a huge amount of work has gone into making Lion’s Eye the best way to manage your collection and build decks anywhere. Some syntax that references cards or sets outside of your collection will continue to require network availability.

What else? Here are a few other changes:
- Added the ability to save all images in the deck visualization screen.
- Added the ability to customize and reorder the sections in the advanced filter/advanced search form.
- Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

Updated review

After my first review the developer Orlando reached out to me and asked how, where and why the app was buggy. I told him exactly everything. I updated the app and honestly it’s night and day to how it used to be just only a week ago. Everything is faster and smoother by a mile. Legitimately a better overall experience. It’s still a touch laggy on my iPad but I’m chalking that up to it being a previous generation model.

On my iPhone 15. It’s perfect. Just perfect. The new mana value suggestion bar is also a really cool feature.

I just wanted to say the care and pride that is being shown is immaculate. I truly appreciate you. Thank you

Developer Response ,

Hi FoeHammer Echo! I’m Orlando, the dev. Thank you for your feedback! I’m really sorry to hear about the slowdown and bugs. I’d love to learn more about what’s causing the issue so I can work on improving it. If you have a moment, please email me at lionseyeapp@gmail.com or join the Discord—I’d really appreciate the chance to troubleshoot the exact actions that seem slow and make the app better for you. Your experience matters, and I’d love the opportunity to earn a better rating!

So far great

I have sat here for the better part of 1.5 hours downloading and trying scanner apps. So far this is the only one that has worked. I have scanned 7 cards. Some where sleeved, non-sleeved and non-sleeved but in a binder. All scanned with 0 issues. Once I complete the rest of the 50 free scans I will update if I decided to go premium. Edit…. Concerns Should be able to turn off multi capture Scanner will capture cards at the most awkward angle but will have huge issues trying to capture some cards that are directly in front of the camera. Outside those concerns still a solid 4 of 5 stars. Edit 2…. Where are you getting your prices from? They’re all over the place when you compare them to TCG. EDIT……If I’m supposed to be able to create a personalized deck in this app it doesn’t work. I click add and nothing happens.

Developer Response ,

Hi, iPod is legit! Thanks for the awesome review and taking the time to edit with additional thoughts! It’s recommended to scan cards with only one card in frame at a time since it’s reading text in view from top to bottom, so cards in a binder could prove a little challenging. Prices and all other pricing data come from the Scryfall database and their pricing affiliates. Feel free to email me or join the Discord if you have more questions or feedback that could help me earn that fifth star!

Edit:
Please email me at lionseyeapp@gmail.com or join the Discord so I can help with troubleshooting your questions. Information is in the in-app settings under “Feedback”.

Fantastic Scanner

I spend quite a bit of time in the MTG space with a lot of interaction with developers of apps and websites related to Magic. This is one of the best apps that I've used, and probably *the* best scanner that I've encountered. I have used many scanners and this is the only one that I've had success with consistently and accurately scanning funky SLD cards.

The owner and developer is very receptive to feedback, active daily on Discord, and noticeably passionate about the project. The price is fair and absolutely worth the cost of what...a small black coffee once per month? Easy decision for me. I highly recommend this app!
