I use this app for various boardgames which is part of why I like this over a lot of the Magic apps that have extra things I don't want. Still running great on my Nexus 6P with the latest Android. I hope the mod author can an revisit and add a few minor quality of life improvements someday.
Slick, elegant, extremely functional. I love the battery saver function which, although it says it's for OLED screens, I suspect will save battery on any kind of screen. I like that it uses screen-region "buttons" instead of swipes for increment/decrement. I love that you can accidentally force close it and it will still remember your last scores on startup. I love the history function and the undo button. This app just really well thought out and executed all around. Oh and before I forget, extra kudos to the clever name, it makes me laugh over and over again. So get this app now and start enjoying the Simple Life for yourself.
Brilliant for 2 players. Unique though among most other damage counter apps I've used in that you can't adjust to 4 players.
Simple and clean interface - I really like how big the view is and how cleanly the many config options are available with a simple tap.
If you want a simple life counter for MTG then get this. If you want 100s of functions, annoying pop ups and animations get something else.
Such a clean and simple app! Although it does not have multiplayer features yet I am sure in time you will keep the simple themes with a larger interface for more than two life totals.
Useful life counter, simplistic yet amazing. Best life counter for MTG and GCW.
The bold, crisp text unsurrounded by anything makes this app incredibly easy to use and understand with just a glance. Began using the app instinctively without even needing to get acquainted with the controls. It's just that intuitive.
I've tried a bunch of apps and most of them are cluttered, missing features, and super ugly. This app is the exact opposite in all the ways.
Simple. Easy to read. Doesn't need to access anything on your device.
5 stars. Very simple to figure out. Would like to see customize option. For font.
Great app. Would only suggest for option to choose thicker fonts.
Night mode is a great addition too. Thanks for the great app
Great app, doesn't drain batteries as fast as the other counters do.
Very nice, clean life counter
no nonsense, it's all you need
Love it.
Great app very simple and clean looking, does seem to drain battery fast hopefully the dark theme helps the cause.
Saw your post on reddit and I love this! It's so simple and makes complete sense. Definitely going to use this more often as long as I have a charger close by (my battery is not the best.) Very smooth and for all these features free I am pretty much set on this!
One of the only life counters i've seen that just....makes sense. No fluff just life totals and a simple interface.
I really like how minimalist the app is. Most life apps are bloated with features I almost never use. Great app would recommend.
Wrote my own simple magic counter a while back but it's not nearly as pretty. Obviously would love more than two players but understand that's not as easy as it sounds.
Would like to see some more player addition and poison counter options. Above all it's super slick.
The simplicity is great. Does everything a life counter needs flawlessly :)
Excellent app, does everything you need it to.
Cant ask for much else.
Far and away the best life counter available. Simplicity truly is a virtue
