Fastest way to enter your collection?

I definitely like the app and the convenience it offers (organizing one's collection is a lot easier than when I last played Magic over a decade ago!) but I'm trying to figure out the fastest way to input my entire collection.

Is there some quick way to select that you own a copy of a card from the database? Or do you have to select the card, scroll to the bottom, and enter the quantity there?

I was thinking it might be handy to have an "owned yes/no" button by each card that you could enable at the touch of ... well, a button, indicating that you have at least one copy of one version of that card, and quickly zip through an entire card set to mark which ones you own without actually needing to "view" a single card.

Or maybe add a "toggle" option for where the binder/deck section is displayed on the card screen? If you're entering cards, you would turn that toggle on so the binder/deck options appear at the very top, allowing you to add cards without scrolling down each time. If it's off, they show up at the bottom as normal.

Sorry if there's already a simple way to do this that I'm missing, or if I'm rehashing an old topic. First post and all. :)

Use it on landscape mode.

Duh. Guess who had his rotation locked? :)

I knew I was probably writing a small essay for something that could be answered in ten words or less. Thanks.

No problem. Now that you know the app has those amazing functions and all, help Piotr and buy all. You won't regret it!

I may pass on the scanner because it's not really practical on my iPad, but I suspect there may be a beer in his future before it's all said and done. :D

I would recommend you to buy scanner and "have it all" instead of beer, because the have it all makes you get future functions upgrades for free(like the recent additions of binders)

Yeah, there's wisdom in that, I suppose. And even if nothing new gets implemented, the sheer convenience of having my collection in digital form when October rolls around and I need to rotate certain "staple cards" out of my deck will be worth the price of admission. :)

Sometimes waiting works too, you get to upgrade to All at any time at current All price plus 1 dollar minus your purchases excluding beer.
