What's New

New Features Added in v1.5

General
Version 1.5 is a major update with very many changes to the user interface. There is a major rework of all the code internally, it fixes several serious issues, and is recommended for all users.

New Feature: Non-exclusive Selection of Card Editions


A feature of the original App was was that cards were viewed in their Editions, which made checking prices very much faster than in other similar Apps: just as intended!

This is still the way the cards are organised in Loot, but the interface has been completely rewritten in version1.5 to allow users to browse cards in all the Editions of Magic The Gathering™ Standard Format at the same time.


For example, a user might select all the cards for Return to Ravnica, Gatecrash and Theros; or just the cards in the Magic 2014 Core Set and Dragon’s Maze, etc.

New Feature: Price Update Activation Moved


Prices were previously updated using the ‘pull to refresh’ mechanism in the main table view of the cards. This has now moved to the price history list view which provides much better context to the user for their decision to update update.

New Feature: Card Name/Latest Price in Detail Views


In the Card Detail/Price History view, the nav bar title now shows either the selected card’s name or the card’s latest price as appropriate.

Issues & Bugs Fixed in v1.5

Issue: the user’s Loot List (personal selections) were not correctly shown when switching between card Editions; now fixed.
Issue: the App could hang if user’s selected a different App whilst the price update sequence was still running in the background; now fixed.
Issue: updating prices for the Gatecrash edition sometimes caused an incomplete set to be returned; now fixed.
Issue: the Back button in the Card Detail/Price History view was sometimes obscured (though still functional) if the card had a particularly long name; now fixed.
Issue: some card images were missing from Loot, including Sylvan Carytid, Boon of Erebos and Breaching Hippocamp; now fixed.

App Description

Simple card picking and pricing is here at last!

Fudõshin Design and The Badcave have collaborated to bring you the best-of-class card pricing App for Magic: The Gathering.™

Stunning, high resolution images of the cards in Wizards of the Coast™ Standard Format are presented with card valuations by MTGPrice.com’s Fair Trade pricing analytics.

Each card in Standard is listed with a single, accurate and meaningful price, and users can build a historical record of prices to help reach agreement on values for trading.

Fudõshin Design worked closely with The Badcave to understand the needs of TCG players, and information for some 1500 cards is now only ever a press and swipe away!

We studied competing Apps together, and agreed that Loot should eliminate the familiar, but time-consuming and tedious search fields, and UI lag during price updates.

'Loot is purpose-built for the iPhone to take advantage of the advanced features of iOS, and we think it might be the fastest, friendliest App of its kind on any platform.

Version 1.0 provides high resolution images of nearly every card from Return To Ravnica™, Gatecrash™, Dragon’s Maze™, 2014 Core Set™. subsequent editions in Standard will be made available as in-App Purchases.

Users can sort the cards by name or price depending on their interest, and then flag them for even faster reference in their own customised Loot List.

The Loot List is a shortlist of must-have cards at your fingertips, and purpose-designed for those collectors who open booster packs in Limited events and immediately ask themselves "erm ... is it worth taking that one, or not?"
