Card Maker Creator for YGO

So I wrote a mostly positive in depth 4star review for this app a few weeks back and I’m sad to feel its necessary to redact that rating. I have spent entirely to much of my covid 19 extra time working to make interesting and balanced cards only to open the app yesterday to find all my work gone. It’s weird because there is space in the history page where the cards would be, with options to download and delete said cards (I made like 50 of them) but when I click on the space it brings me to a new card template, and when I try to download them it kicks me out of the app entirely. This was a lot of fun until it very quickly wasn’t. 1star because I am heartbroken. I’m going to make a sad sandwich. —————————————————————————— Ooh, so it’s been months since that top half and I’m sorry to say that the app has probably just gotten worse. It’s now plagued with adds that pull you from whatever you’re doing or whatever Truth Wanted podcast your listening to. My cards are still gone, and now when I make new ones and try to share them in the gallery they’re nowhere to be seen and it only lets you submit a creation once so I guess my work once again is damned to the shadow realm. This is cute, but if you’re trying to make anything with more substance than just cute this app will just waste your time.

For a long time I have been using BananaApps lab’s Yugioh card maker. It wasn’t smooth in the beginning. But over time the bumps were taken care of. But for quite some time. The company has moved on and has no longer been supporting the app....Which means it has not gotten a necessary update. So for a lot of people I went to this app because it was more up to date with pendulum/fusions... pendulum/synchro....(Pendulum/XYZ where already introduced before they stopped. And we already have link monsters now. But because they no longer work on this app they have not added these functions to it. So for a lot of us, It’s because it’s more recent that it has caught our attention. But to be brutally honest this new app is quite inferior to the one that banana apps makes. The inability to be able to put in the summoning requirements, while also typing in the card effects is quite frustrating. They need to update this app where you are able to type in the card information while having a full screen to edit and to move sentences from more professional touch. Also it needs a better saving option. In the banana app Yu-Gi-Oh card maker you can organize your creations in an actual(Digital)deck. It’s too bad that these critters didn’t try to copy some of the more positive aspects of the banana apps card maker.

When I first bought this app it was very buggy and I regretted buying it, however that sour opinion has changed. As of the recent update lots of issues have been resolved. The keyboard no longer lingers after typing the card name and there is much less lag and random crashes. The app runs smoothly and has link monster which not many card creators have, however it needs a bit more help to give it that final push it needs to be great. Unfortunately, you still cannot separate text within monsters such as xyz or links so you can have the necessary materials, skip a line, then have the text. In addition there are still no serial numbers, no different colored texts for card name’s so you can distinguish rarities, and the app still stalls loading up the card gallery. All in all, the app is definitely a step above what it used to be and has the potential to be really great if the few things addressed above (which were mostly minor inconveniences) are fixed.
