Cost? Interface?

The interface is passable, but the game-level integration is not sound. Sure, you can leave notes, but they aren’t connected to anything, and there is no tool to make it easier to connect Spirits to future games or one another in any informed manner.

The worst part? That’s easy: they charge for content, despite there being only three rules about making such tools, with the first rule being no charging for it. Oh well. I guess I will just finish up my superior product and release everything for free.

Absolutely indispensable!

An amazing tool for a perfect game! Any news on when Nature Incarnate will be added?

Response from developer

Thank la for the kind words! Had a lot of personal things come up but it’s getting close! Stayed tuned!

As "official" as it gets

I mostly use it to:

Track elements,
Review setup without spilling my spirit board over,
Reduce cognitive load with innate power reminders

Along with a lovely design and all the features one could ask for, this is a MUST-HAVE for all spirit island enthusiasts!

Response from developer

Glad you are enjoying the app! Can you send us an email to contact@nerdroomsoftware.com with you UID found under settings? Also could you explain in the email what you edited in your game log? We’d love to resolve this issue! Thanks again for the kind words!

A Must have

But, needs spirit incarnate!

Great Companion App

I especially love the achievements tracker - I thought that was a really nice touch.
One small request I have is, can you please add a way of separating Promo Pack #2 from the Jagged Earth expansion, for those of us that have one and not the other?

Fear card counts incorrect

Love this app, great for quick reference. Did notice an error on the fear card counts though. Was playing Sweden 4 and happened to notice that the app doesn’t match the card from the actual game on several levels when listing how to setup the Fear deck.
Checked all the adversary cards and noticed several other errors as well. Most notably, almost every adversary has incorrect Fear card numbers for level 2.
That’s probably a quick fix and then I’d give 5 Stars. Keep up the good work!!

Love the app, but Horizons content not loading

Outstanding app, but Horizons if SI content not loading. I’ve tried restore, restarting, everything. I have that content selected in settings.

UPDATE: Outstanding customer service too as the developer was very attentive in figuring out a solution.

Response from developer

We are extremely sorry for this! Can you email us at contact@nerdroomsoftware.com so we can work with you to get things straightened out?

Amazing!!! Can’t go without it!

This is hands down the best system you can get. I use it constantly and I can’t live without it! So great!!!

Great app for game tracking - though small issues with adversaries tracking

This app works well - I use it almost exclusively for game tracking. The other features are very well put together and I could see it being very useful for element tracking though I haven’t yet felt the need to use that in game.

The only very small issue I came across is that there is no option for level 0 of an adversary - which by the rule book is when you play without any of the levels and only with the escalation and added loss conditions on the top of the card. I’d be nice if that was distinguishable from level 1 since it does effect score and it’d be nice to see the difference between the 2.

We are so glad you are enjoying using the app! We just wanted to let you know the latest version, 2.3.3, has a fix in place for the Level 0 adversary scoring. Hope this helps!

Excellent Companion App for Spirit Island

This is an excellent tracker app for card plays, energy, and elements! Since downloading, I’ve used it alongside every game of Spirit Island I’ve played.

Its greatest strength is the instant in-app notifications when you’ve reached an elemental threshold for an innate power. Each spirit’s submenu includes all the information listed on the back of its physical spirit board as well as its unique rules.

The only things visually missing from the spirit submenus are the growth options, presence tracks, and specifics of each innate power. These (as well as the details of each spirit’s starting cards) might be good additions to future versions of the app, especially to consult when the physical game isn’t nearby.

When tracking multiple spirits, you have to double-tap the active spirit’s icon to cycle in order through the other tracked spirits. It would be nice if you could make another tracked spirit active just by tapping its specific image. Still, a very minor complaint compared to the app’s general ease of use!

Ultimately, this is an easy app to recommend if you play a lot of Spirit Island! I definitely recommend the extra $2 to unlock all the Jagged Earth and Promo Pack #2 spirits!
