I love the app. Having 1-6 players and easy access to so many different game aspects like Monarch, XP, City's Blessing is great and the backgrounds/themes are great. If I could change two things I'd change the Commander Damage chart. It wouldn't be hard to do... At all. As it is, it's a little unintuitive, though being able to link the Commander Damage to the life total makes it easier. The other thing is how the app deals with odd numbers of players makes it a bit awkward. But I'm happy overall

Really good app, well laid out. I would like to see 2 changes if possible... Commander damage reduces the corresponding life totals. At the moment it feels like double data entry. Also a ? icon in the middle that showed the purpose for each button when you touch it (in other words, you tap it and the help screen appears that tells you what each icon represents) - I had to look a number of them up... :)

App is fantastic, fully fledged, looks and works great. One issue I have is the counters aren't easily identifiable. Sure you can read the manual but having to remember each time can be tricky. Perhaps have an information button that brings up labels temporarily upon press. Also I would love to see this app on iOS so I can use it on my larger iPad screen. Will buy the app twice if you do!

Overall a top tier life counter for Magic; whether playing Commander, Archenemy or any other constructed format. Only issues for me were just getting used to controls, but I learned quickly and it was never enough to tarnish the experience. Personalization is very present: I love having different presets available or being able to quickly swap colors. This app has a lot of versatility and boasts a clean design that is very readable on the table, and I cannot recommend it enough.

The app overall has potential, but there are a few issues to note. The tick boxes in settings are off center, they are unable to be used. Opposed to reading the manual the symbols have no indication of what they mean to other players. The background seems only random and isn't able to be chose. The app for me is buggy and limited that I unfortunantly won't use it until further updates.

Great idea and app! Love it a lot but the only problem is that the down arrows dont work when it's set up with 4 or more players. The up arrows work with no problems. Please look into this and fix it if possible. I am using a Galaxy 9+ with sensitivity up high. Aside from that issue it's a 5 star app!!! :)

Almost 5 star. Being a long time player I recognized the buttons so it took maybe one minute to learn. Good use of symbols and UI. One thing I unfortunately can't move away from my other app is the fact I can't commander damage myself. My group meta is very control magic heavy and my commander is smacking me in the face at least 1 in 3 games for sure. I can get away with using the experience counters except I need those for my one commander deck which happens to be my favorite.

Very nice app, quick setup and lots of option for customization, including everything edh players may need. A recommendation,please make the screen for 4 players also appear in a different layout, like one player in every side of the screen all facing the center in addition to the current layout.

So far it's the greatest life counter I've found. Great visuals, some other features that made my life way easier while playing and a simple interface. All packed in this marvelous little app. Overall it's nearly perfect. By the way, the icon is great.

Seems great for its stated purpose. Not rated down for this, since it make no general purpose claims, but a few small changes would make it good for general purpose score keeping: ability to start at zero or arbitrary totals, and ability to toggle the EDH specific buttons in settings.

Great app with no ads! Seriously, its super annoying to have ads in apps and I cant stress how nice it is to not have an app with ads nowadays. Works great and has a lot of fun extras in it as well. Better than most life counters by a long shot.

Best life counter app out there, especially with the recent updates. Clean layout, doesn't kill my battery or cause my tablet to completely overheat like some other life counter apps with colored backgrounds I've used. And it's the only one I've seen that doesn't just pretend Partner isn't a thing. One small annoyance I have though is the Four Color themes being named after the Nephilim. It's kind of annoying when someone in the playgroup sits down with a 4 color deck and we have to take a minute to look up which Nephilim has that color identity. Maybe change it so each one's color is the one they're missing from their ID? I dunno, just a suggestion. Anyways, yeah. Great app!

by far the best life tracker on the phone. I have gotten a ton of use out of it. if you can spare 2$ I recommend supporting them by buying the supporters edition. it doesn't have anything extra other than a few styles but they put a lot of work into the app and I think they deserve a little something back

Honestly, this has been my favorite life counter I've found in 10+ years of playing and is the one I've been using for 3+ years. The level of features and customization is leagues and miles ahead of the competition. More people need to know about this app.

This is the best life counter app out there. One thing I would like to see is the abilty to customize which counter indicators appear below life total, including dual counters for partnered commanders. When displaying the player name, have the font size decrease automatically when a name is longer, so it is not cut off.

Fantastic app, only thing I dislike is when casting to a TV it bugs out a bit and doesn't correctly fill the screen. Regardless, I can't see using anything else in the forseeable future.

Kum. K. Apr 12, 2019     

Love the new Player Registration feature. One thing I find inconsistent currently is: a life total dropped to 0 knocks out (darkens) a player's tile, but lethal Commander Damage won't. Hope to see this correlation in a future update :D!

Fantastic app! This gives you everything you want without ads or purchases of any kind. May I suggest you add multiple setups for different play groups. It would make my life easier. Thanks!

Works great to keep life total of up to 4 people, with 6 on one screen the buttons tend to become too small. Plenty of functionality included.

Her. S. Jun 15, 2020     

I think this app is awesome, I have been looking for a good app to use and this is the best I've found so long, it allows you to customize a lot of things and is very comfortable to have all the types of counters right in front of you. Best app for MTG without any doubt

Dyl. B. Oct 23, 2019     

It would have been great, but I swapped to a messaging app for literally 5 seconds and when I came back to the life counter it was gone. I did not close the app at all, and it lost all of our life totals. This is a pretty big oversight if you ask me

This app is amazing. It is so clean looking (except for the "lobby" page). The customization options are great, as well as the graphics for all of the Khans of Tarkir, the Shards of Alara, and the Ravnican Guilds. Overall it looks Beautiful.
