Outstanding job, Sebi and the Team! Thank you for making this great great service! I use it daily and recommend it to each and every mtg player I know and meet.

Is there any hope for an Android app in the near future?
In the near future, not really. At least not from my side.

Guys, is there anybody left with any connection/download issues? I can't test for errors because all the accounts work and I need an accout with errors to test error reporting.

I have a crash dump (from iOS). Not sure how to get it to you.
Great! There is a "contact support" button in the app with my email address prewritten. I'll look into it asap, especially since I've found UI bugs in the iPad version (sorry for that!).

After the update I can't update my inventories. I deleted and reinstalled and still have the same issue. This is after iOS 6.1 and iDeckbox 1.2 on an iPhone 4S
I've just downloaded your complete Inventory, Tradelist and Wishlist on my iPhone 4. No problems occured. Could you try it again? It might be a temporary server side issue...

Guess I'll wait for the update. Any attempt to enter my login information results in a crash. Tried respring, reboot, reinstall.. same thing
Which iDevice? Which iOS? On what network are you? Have you tried logging in again after 24 hours?
I can't really help you if you simply complain without providing detailed information about your situation...

First of all Sebi has dropped me a line about DB exports -- they should be fine now, so everybody with missing lists is invited to perform an update.
@Helios: thank you, for your kind words. Stay tuned for those updates, because they're coming :-)
@Shoe: that's great news!
And 1.1 is coming next week.
Changelog:
- faster lists scrolling,
- minor optimizations,
- groundwork for future updates.
It's nothing big, but quite important for 1.2.
I'd like to ask you one thing: could you write a review for the app? I don't care about how many stars you give but I'd love new users to know what other people think about it when they look for cards library management apps and happen to stumble upon iDeckbox. Thanks in advance!

I've been having problems downloading my inventory to the app. How do I tell if I'm running into the same server-side error as the people above?
You do If you have only part of your DB downloaded (e.g. just inventory+wishlist or wishlist+tradelist etc.). I'm working closely with Sebi to resolve this issue asap. I'll incorporate better error messages into 1.2. Stay tuned.

Thanks in advance!
Yeah, I kind of not included support for WoW and WI and the app gets confused about which inventory to use. It's a simple fix, really and I've included it already, but it'll be available only from v1.2.
A quick fix for you is to:
1) export your WoW inventory, wishlist and tradelist,
2) remove this category from your account (preferably by removing your entries),
3) downloading youd magic db with iDeckbox,
4) importing WoW data back into Deckbox.
It's a lot of hassle, I know and I'm sorry for that. I'm planning to release 1.2 arount 15th of November, so you (and for the matter everybody with WoW and WI data) will be covered from then on.

Re: iDeckbox v1.0 for iPhone and iPad is AVAILABLE :-) (113 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
I have a ipad3, and it crashes when entering "Dropbox login".
However when i open the app again, the login is already entered and everything's fine.
Do you plan to support real login so we can make new decks, trades, etc. ?I attached my crash report, if it can help (noticed a [NSObject doesNotRecognizeSelector:])
When it crashes, i must re-'Update databases'.
@NecroSado: Thank you for attaching the crash report! :-) I've just downloaded your inventory and wishlist on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 (iOS 6). No crashes whatsoever. Could you try again on your device? Maybe the error is caused by server problems, as it was with Shoe and others.
61 2012-10-27 09:52:22
Re: iDeckbox v1.0 for iPhone and iPad is AVAILABLE :-) (113 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
@Shoe: thanks, will do!
@Wismac: you're so right! It must have been autocorrected or something. Will be fixed in 1.1. Thanks for letting me know.
EDIT:
Shoe, I've just downloaded your database on an iPhone 4. I managed to scroll through to the bottom of your inventory (boy it's big!) and wishlist and had no problems. Could you reinstall the app completely and try again? (please mind: username is case sensitive).
EDIT 2:
@Nighthawk: I just checked your case and there is an exporting problem related somehow to your account. Please contact SEBI and pass him this info:
"<div class="layout_center">
<h2>The server has encountered an error.</h2>
<p>
<img src="/images/error.png" alt="Error" align="left" style="padding-right: 20px"/>
I have been notified of the error and I will try to fix it shortly.
If the problem persists and you're really in a hurry, please send me an email (at
<a href="mailto:contact@deckbox.org">contact@deckbox.org</a>).
</p>
<br/></br><br/>
Sorry for the inconvenience!
</div>"
Shoe must have had the same problem.
EDIT 3:
@imsully2: Same thing. Wishlist downloads, inventory too, but your tradelist leads to the same error as Nighthawk has. I'll write to Sebi about the issue.
EDIT 4:
I've just sent a message to Sebi about your issues. I hope you'll be able to use iDeckbox without any problems soon.
EDIT 5:
In the future, do you have plans to allow hand-entering trades, such that it will compare values and when I hit "trade completed" or something along those lines it'd take from my tradelist and wantlist, and add to inventory? At the very least keep track of multiple trades so I can do it from a computer later?
Yes, I do plan to extend the app with some nice features. I'll be adding a way to manage your DB on the phone and generate reports on what changed so you could easily update your deckbox when you log onto the site. I will also be adding a way to visually check your library and to conduct recorded trades (app will remember what you gave and got and calculate price of both). I'm brainstroming the way to access your decklists on the go, too, with cached card images. Searching and filtering are on my to-do list, too, not to mention displaying other prices (low and high). I even might add a way to manage multiple databases and convert prices to your local currency, but this is a really distant possibility. I really have a lot of ideas but not much free time on my hands, so all this will take a short while ;-)
EDIT 6:
Quick info: I've just sent 1.1 to Apple for review ;-)

I think the app is great BTW, I feel like the Tradelist is the least important since I've got all the cards right there in my binder anyway
Do you know their current value by heart? ;-)

Re: iDeckbox v1.0 for iPhone and iPad is AVAILABLE :-) (113 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
@Shoe: I've just chcked the size of your DB -- it's HUGE! It might be a memory related issue. I'll do some testing for 1.1 to get you covered.
@imsully2: this might be a similar issue. I kind of noticed more detailed information in your tradelist, namely there are icons of dci cards and similar. This might be an issue we're looking at, since I never entered the info and tested the app (works properly for inventory, wishlist and trades) mainly on my account.
I'll look into it ASAP (mon/tue probably) and release an update.
If you notice anything strange, send me the info and I'll be fixing all the issues.

Re: iDeckbox - an unofficial Deckbox iPhone app (39 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
I've got some bad news...
Apple has rejected iDeckbox based on it's... name. According to them the name is misleading and I have to change it, resubmit the app and wait another 7 business days for approval.
This really is a bummer.
So, before I resubmit, if anybody have ideas on how to name the app, I'm all ears...

Re: iDeckbox - an unofficial Deckbox iPhone app (39 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Great news, Ladies and Gentlemen!
iDeckbox has been sent to Apple for review. It should be available in about 7 business days (assuming no problems from Apple's end).
The first version is pretty basic: you'll gain offline acces to your inventory, wishlist and tradelist with average cards pricing data.
Almost all iDevices are supported: iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPad 1/2/3 and iPod Touch 3/4/5.
iOS version required: 5.0
As for the price of the app: the 1.0 version will be completely FREE for anyone to download :-) And no, there will be no ads.
For the record: this is a "feel the market" version of the app. If iDeckbox gets traction, I'll be properly updating and maintaining it. If people find no interest in such an app, it won't get more love from me. So... tell your friends about the app, post info on social networks you use and help me spread the word any way you can and I promise you more updates. Also, I deliberately added the "Contact support" button, so I could listen to your suggestions ;-)
All in all stay tuned and you'll be using the app in no time :-)
P.S. Many thanks to Sebi, who's helped me make the app much faster (like 12x faster) and easier on your data plan!

Re: iDeckbox - an unofficial Deckbox iPhone app (39 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
If only I had the time to learn Android app programming. This would be so awesome
Actually I managed to go through some android code for one of my clients last week and I found it quite easy to grasp. The only thing that bothers me with android development is that one has to account for so many different devices with different specs but with an app of this kind it shouldn't be that hard.
P.S. I'm polishing the last bits of the iDeckbox app ;-) I'll take it for a "field test" tomorrow during weekly EDH events in my city. Things are looking great :-)

Re: iDeckbox - an unofficial Deckbox iPhone app (39 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Great stuff! Any plans to do one of these for Android as well?
None yet, sorry. It's quite possible in the future though, but I'd love to make an awesome app for the iPhone first and then port it to android devices.
And some info about the app:
The 1.0 is coming together quickly. I expect to send it to Apple for revew tomorrow evening my time (CET), so it should be available in a little more than a week. I'll let you know when that happens, of course.

Re: iDeckbox - an unofficial Deckbox iPhone app (39 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
There's been a slight delay with releasing the app. I'm working closely with Sebi to make the app really fast and easy on your data plan, so it's going to take me a few more days to have it optimized and released.
Stay tuned for more info.

Hello :-)
My name is Pawel and I develop an unofficial deckbox iPhone/iPad app.
Below is a screenshot of the app in the works:
This is my actual wishlist ;-) Inventory works, too.
I'll be sending the app for review a the end of the week so it should hit the App Store in about 2 weeks.
The first version will be very basic. You'll be able to access your inventory, wishlist and tradelist on the go in read only mode. That's a starting point. If you've got suggestions, write them down below.
Thanks and please say what you think :-)
Cheers!

Re: App? (16 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Thanks for your interest in the app :-)
To be honest it's a stable, working prototype at the moment. It has many workarounds since the proper Deckbox API is not available yet but it works.
The things that are missing:
- a proper UI + polish (mechanics first, visuals later),
- local storage and caching mechanisms,
- adding/removing cards from lists (I've a workaround in the works, but without the api it's really inefficient).
I've got some ideas to add to the app as the time goes, but since my philosophy is "release early, release often", I think I'll be sending the app to Apple for review at the end of the month, grabbing user feedback and updating from there.
I'll be starting a separate thread shortly to ask for feedback and to deliver news on the app, so stay tuned.
As for beta testing, 1.0 release will be a beta, so it'll be available for everyone to download off the App Store, try out and suggest changes.
