I've been using iMtG for quite a while now and its time for me to open this thread. I will update it regularly.
Anyway here goes:
- introduce a 'google' search criteria for the database(by single words and not by consequent words)
- an automatic customizable sorting order for the deckbuilder by name, card quantity, card value, card type, mana cost
- a manacost search criteria
- better lifecounter display: remove the wheels, make bigger numbers and larger buttons for life losses and infect counters. Remove all the rest on the screen and put just one button above or below to access more options. All this to make the lifecounter much more intuitive and easy to use.
- introduce card types percentages in the decks stats (only the main ones)
- a vintage format forum? Personally i always play vintage with my friends but I don't know what the international mtg scene tbh mostly plays.
- missing cards: boom (found sone more but couldn't remember)
- for double cards (such as ice/fire), make them flippable like the innistrad ones
- separate the sideboard card count from the total amount of cards in the deck (deckbuilder)
As time goes I will update this post with more data and suggestions.
Thanks for reading and gratz for making the best mtg app for the smartphones!!!
Hello Habardeen and thank you for your suggestions. If you would like to see the new features and functions coming up in iMtG and help make it better, why not be a Beta tester?
-There's already a mana cost search criteria.
-As far as a Vintage forum goes, if it's competitive it'll be in Other, otherwise many vintage legal decks turn up in Casual.
As for the rest of the suggestions, some of them are already on the Developer's TODO list, but they are all good ideas.
Cheers!
Automatic sorting of deck lists is not at all high on my list because you can sort by anything manually.
Wheels will stay.
The rest, as BJ said (googly search is almost ready for testing).

Good, love those wheels! Best thing since sliced bread ... or was it before sliced bread? :P
Thanks for the answers :)
Addition:
- all images from the Innistrad expansion look blurry (using iPhone 4)

I would love to!
I'll search on how to do it through forums or if you can address me to the right spot it would be awesome!

Ela?
My Wife: http://farbiszewski.com (http://farbiszewski.com), she took over beta applications and provisioning portal a while ago.
Congrats!
Question: does the text search in database check card wording or Oracle? Example, if I look up "dies" will it pull up all of the old errattaed cards?
Comment: I agree that the proper spellings use Æ, but for pricing it would be nice if it could convert it to AE since TCGplayer don't recognize.
Oracle.
Could we get push notifications for people replying on posts aswell as the marked time on posts acctualy represent the time in our timezones.
Applied! :)

On my TODO.

No risk, no fun.
He's right. If it were perfect, it wouldn't be Beta. ðŸ˜
Back up your stuff once in a while.
Eheh thought so, see you in beta :D
I saw an app that also managed all your tokens on the field. I think that would be really useful cos I run a white token deck and sometimes a cat spawny deck...

My old stooge, Gathering Utilities.
Can't hold a candle to iMtG.
I was just thought it would cool to have a price follower for cards, like a stock graph.
Yes, me too ;)
Can the background on landscape mode be black again?

That's is only a possibility, if that at the moment. Since the copyright issues with WotC, Piotr is using the images directly from Gatherer to save this app being pulled. Those particular images, however, have white corners where the card itself has the rounded edges. That sticks out like sore thumbs.
For the moment, until possible cropping of the images can be done, it will look better like this. 😊
More suggestions:
- option to filter search for 'colorless' cards (both artifacts and colerless) as a single button near the other color buttons, so that I could add them to the 'exclude unselected' group searches.
- search for word fragments
- line commands like brackets, minuses and pluses (Ã la google) with a dedicated pop-up keyboard
- option to turn off/on the direct search criteria
- option to turn off/on the multiverse
- add a button to each card text line in the search list that opens up the database page of that card. This way we could check the oracle text during searches!
- a more distinctive and uniform graphic style for the icons. I like them a lot but if yiu can find a global and distinctive graphic style for them it would improve both the looks and the of this great app!
Thank you for reading and sorry if some things are already happening in the beta, but I applied and apparently got rejected :(
Rejected? How come? We reject no one. Did you register in both places as instructed, and replied to Ela's email?
I sent the mail but no one answered back.
I think something else happened then, like spam filter or something :/
Probably my fault, but you're in now.
