The Devil's Suggestions

[TheDevilMyself]

Whole thread just for me... That way I can just post whenever I have an idea.   Expect many bumps.

-"try again" button on the "feeling lucky" page (where the filter button normally is)

-filter for scans.  Would help the program identify cards easier if it knew generally what it could be

-option to disable full card view or button replacement to "show full card"... Given that wiz censored most of them this is a pretty important one, but if I'm just adding cards to a deck or something it can get annoying

-Move 'adding' function to just below card description

-get rid of card description & preview when scanning

-option to disable real time results when typing to search (lags it out too much)

-bug: when scanning and your phone is aligned upside down, scanner is misrepresented as right side up, yet scan box is set as upside down, resulting in bad scan

...that's it for now, i fully realize that these may be reposts, however I'm too busy scanning my collection into my precious to bother checking ;-)

DEVIL!

Some really good feedback, thanks!

[TheDevilMyself]

-fix positioning of reply text box after click/refresh (iPhone 4G) in forums

-have history save while app is still open (forum) so back works after viewing a card etc

Curse of death's hold scans, but doesn't show up in searches

Expansion symbol substitutes are... Not so good.  Ideas include:  use hotlinked symbols from the site you get the cards from or make a cartoonized version of the symbols. 

[Piotr]

Is cartoonised safe enough?

[BlackJester]

How do you "cartoonise" a symbol?

{^_^}
I dont get it either but i like the Sound of it

[TheDevilMyself]

Like, make it the same as the symbol, but drawn and different enough so as not to violate copyrights.  Think like generic sodas imitating the look of coke cans to draw in consumers

Bugs:
Limiting searches to rarity doesn't work
Limiting searches to "Innistrad block" doesn't work (may not work with other blocks too - needs testing)

Could you be a bit more descriptive about your bugs?  They both work fine for me.

That happens to me to, just hit the filter button twice, and it will update it.

[TheDevilMyself]

Ok here's my selected options:
Lock
Text
Innistrad block

All others are "any" or off

Then I put in an ability like "trample" "deathtouch" or anything else and nothing shows up for results.

Also, I was making a curse deck and searched "standard" for type: "curse" and about three curses that I know of where left out see also the post previous.

Bugs:
"shutter" won't open sometimes when switching to the camera for scanning

Confirmed.  This shows up even for Name or Type search, and a blank search box.  It's specifically the Innistrad Block Filter.

[TheDevilMyself]

More stuff than I can possibly remember at this point and mostly related to searches....

Specifically, the search seems to randomly include partial matches.  I typically am searching by "standard" as that is what I mostly play and if I use more than one search term, especially for card text searches, I will get results in error.  Like, searching for "destroy target permanent" will yield results that have the word "permanent" but not "destroy"



Another big one - trade binder seems oddly broken.  I am trying to stash a potential trade there and it seems to mill my "to get" cards to 15 when I leave the app and come back.   I am using this to try and track my online needs vs my IRL needs.


And finally a suggestion - update prices link for updating prices on a particular page, be it a search result, deck, needed etc.  oh and tack on the suggestion to update prices for only specific blocks / expansions etc.  I don't really need to be storing prices on my phone for the entirety of the magic catalogue!  Lol


And again, great app.  Oh and one last thing - alternate, simple, single page life counter for 3+ player games, or a life total cheat page so all players can view their totals without having to swipe.  Honestly I use the official app for 3+ games and I don't like their app for anything else and would rather use yours for everything.


Keep up the good work!  Good luck with updating for the upcoming expansion
