  1. Hi, this is Max from Milan, Italy.
    I just wanted to tell you how I like MTGbugs.
    I just started developing for wp7 and one of my first apps was a Magic one; but then discovered your MGTbugs and stopped since then.
    I think it’s really a great app, complete and also stylish. 🙂

    Si, I just wanted to say “kudos” and “keep up the great work”. 5 stars all around 🙂

    One again, great app (not like my simple app for kids, that by baby son beta-tested LOL 🙂 ), I mean it! You did a fantastic job!

  2. First off.. I love the app. Quite the best mobile MTG app I have seen. Been using it for every game I play.

    I’m a WP7 app dev myself, (TivoRemote, currently porting to Win 8).

    I was curious if an update was coming to support Avacyn? It might be good to open up the search set list to be updatable by the user or updatable out of band from the app releases.

    Also curious if you’d be open to have other contributors for the app?

    1. Actually the update is sitting in my machine for a long time already. Due to my own country don’t have app hub, and the third part app submission party take so long time to process my app… so in the stuck in testing part, how it get through faster… pray hard.

      1. Yalla apps is holding it up?

        I wonder to get around that moving over to a MEF based solution with just shell that gets installed and xaps of the real app downloaded and saved into isolated storage.

        I’m looking forward to the update.. I’ve been contemplating a MTG app for Win8. My TivoRemote app is light on content. Just a simple set of buttons

  3. First of all, great app. It’s perfect. I love it and I use it every time I play MTG.
    In the new update the banners are an hassle, they are very annoying. Please give us a way to buy your amazing app and support further development (and getting rid of the banners 🙂 )

  4. I’d definitely pay a buck to get rid of the ads.

    Or maybe only have them on pages where a game or a draft may not be on the line. Like just on the news feed, wish list or deck builder pages. Having them in places like judge mode accidentally hitting the advert causes the user to navigate away from the app and mess up the timer.
