I really hope WotC gets the message. If anything they should be asking you how to improve their app. I have so much time invested in my decks here it would be such a shame to have to start over, especially with an inferior app. Keep fighting, iMTG. We are behind you.
Exactly 
If I lost my Elf EDH and my Needed lists that would really suck =/

This song popped into head after reading the comment and I agree. Shotgun waving the flag!

I got the toolbox the day it came out. Used it for about 2 minutes before I got sick of how poorly-designed it was and immediately came back to the awesomeness of iMTG!!
If they aren't going to provide us with a quality app, they should at least let someone else do it!! Someone doing it because they care about the game. Not just because they want money.  I don't mind supporting and paying for a quality app. (I unlocked every feature for iMTG), but toolbox is aweful! And the few features it does have, half of them don't work right anyway.

I'm glad we had someone willing to step up and make a great app!  While WotC tools years to finally get us an "official app".

I think it's terrible that with the large team of designers, and all the money, their big company is still afraid to compete with an indie app maker.

I left 1 star, and a nice, quite long message about it. :)


Love iMTG!! Thank you for everything!

I am new to iMtG, but as soon as I got it I immediately bought the full version. Now I've noticed how the app suddenly appears different, and then stumbled onto this thread. I just now wrote a bad (but polite) review of WotC's app, and I am now very disappointed with the company.

Anyways, I would like to thank Piotr for this wonderful app; I thoroughly enjoy it. I also wanted to let you know that I am rooting for you in all this legal mumbo-jumbo. Good luck Piotr!

I forgot to mention this earlier, but this is a review of toolbox.

All the support for this fantastic app!!

I hate when corporations do like this. They don't understand that they could use the resources that are already there instead of forcing their own on the market.

Already downloaded their lousy app, so borked it keeps on getting into infinite loading at start.

We could open an online petition somewhere, perhaps? So every user of every mtg third party app could go there and sign it to stop this madness.

Can you update us as to how the ''fight'' is going? Kind of curious to see where it's at right now

I'm waiting for WotC's response to my letter asking them to treat iMtG the same as TCGplayer.com.

To be honest, I would just give up. Your recent update has mostly solved this and it is clear that WotC doesn't really want to do anything other than pulverize the app.

Sammastin

I'd say quite the opposite. This app is amazing and he should continue to see if they will accept his app in the market (without pushing too hard of course). After reading the reviews for their app, it's amazing how many players are mad at WotC for their actions in this matter. I just hope they either allow other apps, or hire the makes of the superior apps. Keep it up :)

Piotr

Will do. I don't think they can afford me though ;)

Big pointer here. You call this app, that we all love,  iMTG where as i supect "MTG" has been copyrighted by WotC. Technically that would be copyright infringement. So try and change the name. Slandering their app isnt a good way to go either.

Piotr

MTG is not copyrighted nor trademarked by WotC. What 'slandering' are you talking about?

Not necicarily "MTG" i mispoke. But you understand what i mean?
And by slandering i mean telling people to vote down Magic toolbox. There are better ways of getting our message across i would hope to think.
