I'm excited to present the closed beta of the upcoming Deckbox mobile apps for Android and iOS!

The biggest feature is the fast card scanner for adding cards directly to your collection. Additionally the apps package parts of the web mobile interface, for browsing and managing the collection and decks.




This is beta preview, so you may encounter rough edges. I would especially like to hear about scanner accuracy, confusing workflows, bugs, and anything that would make the apps more useful. Allowing debug data collection for improving the scanner also helps a great deal!

For this first phase, the closed beta is available to Premium members. You can find the Android and iOS installation instructions here: Join the Deckbox mobile beta

Depending on how testing goes, I'd like to move very fast to an open beta, to avoid the wonkiness of the closed beta procedures.

Please share your feedback in this thread or a private support ticket. Looking forward to hearing what you think!

Very excited for this!!

This is super exciting! I can't wait!

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LETS GOOOOOO

I had some odd cards to add to my collection (the challenge decks from Theros block) and the scanner worked quite well overall. It is so fast to add a bunch of cards this way -- so much faster than typing/searching.

I found that there were several times were the card was marked as foil when it wasn't and a few times where the cards were marked as German instead of English. I don't know if I hit the foil button or not, but I really don't think that I hit the language accidentally to change things to German. I had my defaults set to English and non-foil. Given that I was just scanning into a deck this was easy to catch. If I had been scanning into my collection this type of error would be harder to spot.

A few times the scanner came up with the wrong card, but it picked out the right card on the second attempt.

The app wasn't refreshing the decklist when I used the arrows to navigate back to the deck, but looking on my computer would bring up the updated deck list, or if I navigated there again rather than using the back arrows then the decklist was properly updated.

After adding cards to a deck and then navigating back to my deck lists, it would be handy to have the same navigation path available. Instead I would have to click Sets -> Precons each time to get back to the list of Challenge Decks.

Super impressed by the speed and accuracy overall.
