Mods: Not sure if this should be in general or software, so feel free to move if appropriate.
I was wondering why the iOS app Orcish Librarian hadn't been updated for Theros and just learned that the developer had retired the software on Sept. 17 because he didn't want to make it compatible for iOS 7. That having been said, can anyone recommend a replacement for iPhone that looks up card prices?
I wondered why it wasn't updated. Since I updated to ios7 it crashes on every search. Too bad. The other app I was using hadn't been updated since DGM either:(
Maybe try MTG Familiar? Not sure if it's on IPhone, but my cell has it and it's a solid tool. Can check oracle rulings, comp rules, prices, works as a life counter, etc.

Unfortunately not available on iPhone. I'm going to try something called "Magic Trading Card Game Database" by Hankinsoft. I'll report back.
I'm monitoring this thread. Does anyone know some apps like that for Android? I'd like one for iOS too but since those seem scarce, Android will work just fine.
What happened? apple happened. If you want to be happy, download mtg familiar (i use it to check the rules and to do advanced searches) and mtg tracker (to save and browse my decks)
android go go android :D:D:D
For iOS (don't know if it's available for any other platforms) try UMagic. I found it while searching for Orcish Librarian when it started crashing on iOS 7. So far it seems to be pretty good. I can search for cards just like OL and it shows the TCG prices like OL does. It's free (with ads which can be removed for $0.99) and has a pro option for $3.99 that I will probably never need to go get. Like I said, I like it so far.

I downloaded UMagic. It seems nice, but the search function doesn't seem to work. For instance, I go to the Theros collection and begin typing something. No matter what character I put it, it comes up with "No Results." Am I doing something wrong?

Developer of uMagic here. You need a minimum of three letters to actually start getting results. It makes for more efficient searching since two letters and below is usually very vague.

Thank you for the advice -- I felt really dumb because I couldn't figure it out. You've got a nice program there (now that I'm using it properly). Thanks for chiming in and for the support!
Do you have to pay each time a new expansion comes in Decked Builder? While reading some info, I thought so.
No, that's for the Decked Drafter app. Decked Builder uses an in-app updater to update its database and the devs are usually really quick with it too. I believe the only extra in-app purchases are just the collections feature and the card cam (OCR) feature. I've been using Decked Builder for several years now and can attest that it is well worth the up front cost.

If it were $0.99, I'd consider it, but $3.99 is a little steep when I can just as soon use magiccards.info in Safari.

With the death of Orcish, it looks like there are officially no free MTG card price apps for iPhone. WTF!

Failing that, bookmark Gatherer.
