Amazing collection of cards and trading system. However, the app runs like garbage on my otherwise blazing fast OnePlus 6t. The 6t is one of if not the fastest Android phone, so there should be no issues. That said, my phone heats up way past where it has ever been. I assume that this causes thermal throttling which then makes the app run terribly. PLEASE optimize your software.

The latest update has made it very difficult to trade. Instead of tapping once for a selection it now takes at least a dozen times. The screens for the store are cut off at the bottom making it impossible to select. Fix this or return to the way it was. The app was fine before the update. Update has failed. App will not load past 87%.

Bottom tier app for a top tier brand. Nothing fully works. Disable all the sounds and vibrations, sound still occurs. Many buttons/prompts dont do what they're suppose to. Some areas are hyper sensitive while others need 2 or 3 taps to work. Trading is annoying and frustrating. Workbench makes you scroll for eternity to get to what you want. Dont get awards half the time once set is complete. Finding the set list is hard. Trading for particular cards is annoying. The fallout 76 of TCG apps.

Overall it's been a enjoyable time collecting and trying to go for some of my favorite characters but there is 1 small thing I think would make the most sense. And that is to have the Salvageable tier list at the top of the workshop instead of at the bottom. Unless I am missing something to have it that way it's quite a pain when you have a bunch of duplicates you want to salvage and you always have to scroll to the very bottom of the workshop.

Before the new version was launched at the end/middle of last year, I loved this app. But the new version is not nearly as good. The app boots you out and makes you restart it all of the time. Trading between other people absolutely SUCKS and is COMPLETELY POINTLESS now. It takes way too long, because the app is super slow in general. Not to mention the fact that that the old version let you trade to 10 people at a time, the new version...a grand total of one person...

I really like this app alot, I've been a lifetime Star Wars fan and starting at a young age I was an avid card collector. This brings those to loves together, without the space needed for physical cards. I do have some issues with this app though. I hate the navigation of the app, I much prefer the old layout, and some of the features are confusing and the "?" button doesn't really offer much help. Oh and I haven't been able to access my awards page at all.

- The new mechanics are terrible, they are not at all intuitive and it requires a degree of hunting around to get where you want. - There are broken links within the app as well, for instance in announcements there is the click here option to go to the store for a particular pack, I have tried many and none work. Or if you are looking in awards and want to select a card that you are missing so you can buy or trade it, this no longer works... - The trading mechanics are now very terrible, it is almost as though they made trading much more difficult on purpose, perhaps to make more money? In Summary: I would not suggest this to new players until this fix this thing, I only stick around because I have been using it for years.

Fun game, been trading since 2015. However, recent base cards seem like developers are trying ro pick the ugliest picture of any character. Waves within base Series feature almost identical profile pictures of a character like Rey... And again, why have a profile/headshot picture in wave 1, and another profile/headshot in wave 2, only to be followed by yet another... There are so many movies and a variety of each character would be nice. Also, what's with blurry screen captures of characters

I want to like this app so bad, but it just seems to get worse and worse. The price per pack goes up but the odds for base cards gets less, much less inserts. Sure they can entice you by throwing you a few free cards now and then but it's just not worth it. Before, I might spend a few actual dollars here and there, but if they can't be fair with the digital money why would I spend real $. Avoid the aggravation. Find something else to do with your time.

I have had a few problems, such as spending credits for packs that never dropped, and have contacted support multiple times. I have waited weeks for a reply on one issue, and no other reply on another. I got into this to have fun with my sons who were playing, but so far I've been highly disappointed, not by the game, but by the lack of response from the developers. I've lost out on a time sensitive event because of missing packs and credits. The app isn't extremely intuitive, but once you figure it out, it becomes easier to use/understand. You cannot contact support from in game though, you have to create some roundabout on their website, which is a nightmare. It needs some major updates.

I have loved this app for years and I love the new update with one MAJOR exception. The workbench is so frustrating. Each item takes up way too much room in the screen and you have to endlessly scroll to see what you can salvage and what your can claim. When you do either, the screen resets to the top and you have to scroll even more. It really makes this function unusable. Please shrink the room each item takes up. You could literally have 8 to 10 items on the screen at one time. Please fix.

I've been using this app since 2015 and really enjoyed it. The latest version (2019) series however has come with some serious bugs in the screen tapping area. I have to tap multiple times to make trades or view cards. 1/17/2019 EDIT:: I'm no longer able to update app. I tried to reinstall the app but it will not download anymore. Checked memory and it's fine. All other apps update successfully. I will keep trying but have dropped 4 stars to 2.

App is incredibly unintuitive, confusing, and buggy. Fantastic concept but horribly executed. Receiving awards (Unique cards) adds excitement to opening packs and is the highlight of the app. Unfortunately, packs are often incorrectly or ineffeciently described which causes issues when trying the complete a set. Additionally, the requirements and deadline to complete certain sets are rarely clear or easy to find. Thought this was a newer app,but was shocked to find it's been around for years

First, I'd like to say that I'm not a card collector by nature. This is my first foray into collecting anything.That being said, this app makes collecting fun! However, I know I would appreciate having my collection on real paper. That's not a detraction from the app, just a new feeling that's developed as I collect my cards. That feeling is possibly the greatest recommendation for this app! I love having all these trading cards, and appreciate collecting like never before! One surprising advantage from this app, is that now, as I watch the movies, I recognize almost every person, no matter how small a role they play! This has enhanced my Star Wars experience greatly! The interface in the app could use some work, as it seems unnecessarily cludgy, and one major aspect of trading is not only all but ignored in the very basic 'tutorial' that users experience the first time in the app, it's so complicated and time consuming as to require a degree in rocket science. That aspect is called melding, and is poorly explained in the help files. Basically, you trade 5 cards of 1 series/color/person, to obtain 1 card of a rarer color. This is very, very time intensive. Otherwise, a great app! About a year ago, they changed the way you authenticate, and I was locked out of the app. They want a photo of me in my Google account, to authenticate me. I think this is a silly way to treat me, so am uninstalling, and revising my rating.

This is an addiction waiting to happen. I'm actually not sure why these card trader apps aren't more popular. It's not perfect though. It takes a while to get enough of a collection to keep trades rolling and could use more opportunities for free packs. The tutorial is bugged and doesn't give all of the cards that it is supposed to. Also the app itself could be a little more user friendly with its layout. All of that being said, I love the concept, and have really enjoyed it a lot since I started reading more. The key, in my opinion, is to not stress over sets, and just get as many interesting cards as you can.

The UI WAS perfect. This new interface - I've been playing since inception and I can't make sense of it - I can't imagine how someone new to app could possibly make sense of what is going on in the screen. It's all icons/symbols specific to game. The UI has got to go. More movie cards - scenes from movies.

I've enjoyed this app for a long time, but the performance has gotten steadily worse and worse. At this point everything just starts lagging at random within 1-10 minutes of play, and opening any pack has increasing odds of making my phone go unresponsive and I have to force close/restart the app if it doesn't crash on its own. Opening the free packs is guaranteed to lock things up immediately. I can play plenty of games with actual graphics with no issue. I enjoy SWCT but please work on this :(
