Hi guys I'm new here but would really value your feedback on my magic app.

I normally sell this app but it is free for the next 5 days for you guys to test rate and keep... your feedback is appriciated.

Kind Regards
Craig

This is pretty cool. Nice to just have for an off hand kind of thing, nothing I would actually perform in any serious vein though, but then that is true of almost all the magic apps, except perhaps iforce.

I would make one change. Without giving anything away, or at least trying not too. On the first option it would have been easier if you used the standard CHSD order rather than HSDC which means a magician has to remember yet one more thing un-necessarily.

I'm never one to turn down a free app...

Very nicely made. I love the quality of the 'x-ray' - it looks very spooky, it's a nice touch. I'm not so sure about the main two screens though, the font just doesn't look right for some reason. But that's really very minor

I like the secret too - smart thinking there. Too many magic apps use the same method (which doesn't work well in practice) or require pre-preparation. The way you've done it is very sneaky, not seen that before :)

found another issue. Really minor but what the heck.

If you are x-raying the spectators hand then the bones are going in the right direction but the card is not. In other words you have to spin the ipod around to show them the card right side up.

I have a cheat option you might consider when thinking about before changing the Chsd order. The icon for the app is running SHDC if you make it so the icon is in the same order as the first option, then there is no thinking on the part of the magician. The key is right in front of you before you even begin.

Just a thought. Of course now I have it all memorized as it is.

Very nice, I like this a lot!

My feedback:
1.) Change to CHSD
2.) I couldn't get the Joker selection to work.

Just saw the note that the Joker is only available under the Hearts suit. Thought that was kind of odd.

Now that I've seen the Joker, it's not the most common of all- Bicycle. I imagine that's probably due to copyright reasons.

Great fun. Thanks for the link.

Did Apple make you add the disclaimer "...it will not turn your iPod/iPhone into an X-ray machine..."
