Release Notes
A record of what changed in each version of Wizbook.
Version 1.6.1 Latest
Cloud Card Scanner & Mobile Polish
This patch brings back cloud-powered card scanning and fixes mobile layout issues.
Cloud Card Scanner
- Card scanning now uses OCR.space cloud API for text recognition — significantly more accurate than the previous browser-based engine
- Removed Tesseract.js dependency — no more 500KB client download or slow model initialisation
- High-confidence matches are queued immediately on the first scan — no multi-scan voting required
- Garbled OCR rescue — word-overlap matching handles imperfect reads (e.g. “Disc ape of he Ord Ways” correctly matches “Disciple of the Old Ways”)
- Faster scan cycle with reduced inter-scan delay
- Rate limit detection — if the monthly scan limit is reached, auto-scan stops and a clear message is shown
Bug Fixes & Polish
- Fixed Advanced Filters popover clipping off-screen or appearing too narrow on mobile — now spans the full viewport width

Version 1.6
Rapid Card Adder, Mobile Redesign & UX Onboarding
This update introduces a fast way to add cards, a completely redesigned mobile experience, and in-app guidance to help new users get started.
Rapid Card Adder
- New tool in the Tools dropdown — the fastest way to add cards when you know what you’re looking for
- Type-ahead suggestions — start typing and see matching cards instantly
- Fuzzy matching — handles typos and spelling mistakes gracefully
- Set-specific results — see which set each printing comes from so you can pick the right one
- Keyboard-driven — use arrow keys and Enter to select without touching the mouse
- Bulk queueing — cards queue up for batch adding to your collection
- Image previews — toggle card thumbnails in the queue to verify your picks
- Clear list button and per-card removal for quick queue management
Mobile List View Redesign
- Card rows on mobile are now card-layout blocks instead of a cramped spreadsheet
- Each row shows a card thumbnail, name, price, set, collector number, rarity, type line, and mana cost
- In collection mode, quantity, condition, and finish badges are visible and tappable
- Rarity indicated by a coloured left border on each row
- Table header hidden on mobile — every row is self-contained
Mobile Grid View
- Grid tiles now use a responsive 3-column layout that adapts to screen width
- Card name always visible below each image
Mobile Controls Cleanup
- Action buttons (Back to Search, Refresh, Add to Deck, Scan) grouped on their own row
- Filter input and Advanced Filters share a separate row
- Result count (e.g. “1–100 of 150 unique”) moved under the page counter for a cleaner layout
- Search filters no longer auto-search on mobile — results only load when you tap Search
- Bottom dock icons replaced with clean SVG icons
- Dock buttons now fill the full tap area for easier navigation
UX Onboarding
- Help tooltips — small “?” icons next to Search, View Mode, My Collection, and Tools with descriptions of each feature
- Feature Rundown page — accessible from the header and hamburger menu, explains every feature in detail
- Get Started empty state — when no search has been run, a friendly prompt guides users to try the filters or open a collection
- Tooltips use fixed positioning to escape overflow-hidden containers — visible everywhere
Bug Fixes & Polish
- Fixed iOS auto-zoom on input fields with viewport and font-size adjustments
- Fixed tooltip text inheriting uppercase from parent containers

This update adds a full probability simulator for saved decks and a redesigned landing page that better communicates what Wizbook can do.
Deck Simulator
- New tool in the Tools dropdown alongside Deck Builder and Binder Manager
- Select any saved deck without disturbing your active deck
- Single Card mode — pick a card and see the probability of drawing 1+ or 2+ copies from opening hand through turn 5
- Card Group mode — check multiple cards and see combined draw probabilities

- Opening Hand Analysis — land count distribution with bar chart highlighting the keepable range (2–4 lands)
- Top 10 most likely type compositions for a 7-card opening hand
- All calculations use exact hypergeometric probability — no random simulation
Cockatrice Deck Import & Export

.coddeck files via the Import dropdown - Choose how cards are added to your collection: add all (stacking quantities), add only what’s missing, or skip

.codfile from the Deck Builder toolbar
