April 2011 Tournament Document updates
The April 2011 Tournament Document updates (MTR, IPG and Judging at Regular REL) were posted yesterday. The corresponding 2.5.2 in-app database update for MTG Guide was available a couple of hours later. And since the MTR and IPG now include appendices, you can even see what’s changed from within the app.
Guide 2.4 available now, 2.5 to follow
MTG Guide 2.4 became available on the App Store yesterday. It includes a reworked split-view interface for iPad, and much faster loading, as mentioned in the previous posts. Sadly, it also includes a bug where the search fields can stop responding for iPad users. To fix this, 2.5 has been submitted to Apple and will […]

MTG Guide 2.4 and other recent improvements
First up, I was able to release the 2.3.3 database update an hour or two after Gatherer was updated with Mirrodin Besieged, so everyone should have had access to the MBS cards and rulings at their prereleases. I certainly did, and Australia was one of the first to start cracking their faction packs. Secondly, I […]

MTG Guide 2.0 iPad screenshots
I recently got a chance to use an iPad with MTG Guide v1.2 on it. While it’s great that Apple allows for iPads to run iPhone apps, using them at their small native size or in ‘x2’ mode is not a very satisfying experience, at least it wasn’t for MTG Guide. For the MTG Guide […]

July 2010 Guide database update
The MTG Guide database has been updated with the July 2010 Magic Comprehensive Rules changes (Emblems galore!) and also to add the Oracle text for Vanguard cards and online avatars. We’re still waiting for Wizards to update Gatherer with the corresponding Oracle changes they announced the week before last, so it doesn’t include those changes. […]
