  • Simple but needs an update

    I have been using this app for almost 2 years now, and is by far my go to for all the other life counter apps. I love the simplicity with the touch of flair. I would like to see the name feature finally be added. as well as some of the new mechanics magic has added such as the ring temps you in the flare department. but since it’s been three years, I don’t think there’s gonna be an update anytime soon.

  • Near-Perfect Life Counter App

    While the default life counter app in the official MTG companion app is actually pretty good, this app steps it up by giving additional customization options and a cleaner interface. So, I definitely recommend giving this app a try and I do believe that the additional $4 to unlock everything is reasonable. However, I have one major issue with this app that prevents me from giving it a full 5 stars.

    For Commander games, I wish there was a way to keep track of whose commander dealt damage to who. Player 1 might have dealt 2 commander damage to me, but there is no way I can also show that Player 2 dealt 3 commander damage to me as well. While this can be mitigated by having dice, I think having dice defeats the point of having an app like this.

    For other MTG formats and 2 player Commander games though, this app truly shines. As I mentioned earlier, the way things are presented is so much more appealing than the one in the MTG companion app that its my primary choice for Standard, Pioneer, Modern, etc. I just hope in the near future, they address the one issue I present here so I can have a better experience for Commander.

  • Best MTG Life Counter App!

    This is the best MTG life counter I have found. I’ve used just about every one of them available and Carbon has the best user friendly interface hands down. The amount of features and extra’s this app has leave all the others in the dust. If you play any TCG this is app you need for keeping track of life totals and my personal favorite…commander damage!

  • Still no ability to add names?

    3 years since last update? I bought pro because it said you could do all of the color changes and add names to players. Well that was a lie. You cant add names and it looks like that will never be a added function. So for $5 you get what? The ability to change colors.
  • Just missing one thing

    This would be the best counter app but it doesn’t tell you how much you changed. If it had a pop up amount that told you how much you added or removed like most counter apps it would be the best. For that single reason I had to change apps
  • Easy to use with full features

    My playgroup has used this app to keep track of our life for years, and have been extremely satisfied the entire time. It is incredibly easy to use, while having a range of helpful features. The chooser feature is amazing for determining who gets to start the game. The full version of the app is reasonably priced at $5, well worth it for the additional features considering how much time we’ve spent using this app. I highly recommend this app to anybody looking for a magic life counter!

  • NEEDED FEATURE THEN 5 STARS

    When holding your life counter with 1 finger have it show a side counter counting how many lives have been subtracted. Counting each life is a crappy when that should clearly be a thing and a option. Even put it behind the paywall. All cool I’ll pay $5 for that alone. Besides that it’s a great life counter

  • Wonderful. But devs stopped updating 2 yrs ago

    Best app ever. Nothing is close the functionality - if strangely the last update was over 2 years ago and the Dev company Nanotube never made another app. The mystery remains what stopped ? Nonetheless this app is incredible even without updates and works great.

    Would love to some activity on such a popular app. Come back matt__marks

  • Great app!

    This app is everything I wanted in a damage counter app. The color choices, the effects and the many settings to customize for your needs. The only thing it’s missing is a basic calculator function in the gameplay menu for higher life total games like Metazoo, but I can use a real calculator for that. Overall, this app does it all! $5 and it will last forever and be in my pocket for any game night or tournament.

  • Because Feedback Not working

    This app is lit. 😎Everything you need for MTG & most other PvP games with life points.
    Suggest the ability to resize counter windows. So you can make bigger more relevant counters more visible & other counters less screen cover.
