Tweak the elements

I love the app. Hate using the physical tokens when playing with more than 2 people. Problem is, there isn’t a way to remove progress elements once you set them. I have to start a new game each time I make a mistake.

Response from developer

Hey there! Glad you are enjoying the app. It's not very clear but the only way we could figure to remove the progress elements is to hold the Reset button. which clears out progress elements and resets all the tracked elements as well. We figured that it would be just as fast to add all your progress elements again as it would be to have a special screen to adjust them one by one. Hope this helps!

Love the app, Scoring Issues

Love the app for tracking games - that said, there are still some scoring issues (Habsburg level 6 registered as 0 difficulty).

Also would love for there to be some grand overview graph/chart for all spirits/games.

Response from developer

We are currently working on the update for the difficulty error. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Just know that this will get resolved.

Beware: Jagged Earth content has errors!

I used to use this app as a great tool! Recently got Jagged Earth (which cost money to buy in-app), and was disheartened to see that some of the listed text is flat out wrong...not just misleading, but wrong.

As one example, Lure of the Deep Wilderness in the app has the exact opposite of the actual rule listed as its “Enthrall the Foreign Explorers” ability. In the game, this ability allows you to ignore up to 2 explorers per presence in the land during the Ravage phase and all Ravage events. The app says you can ignore up to 2 explorers per presence *except* during the Ravage phase and all Ravage events.

There are other blatant errors as well.

Buyer beware: there is information in this app that is completely misleading! Too bad, because with some clean up it could become an amazing app!

I’m very sorry about this! I will go through the entire expansion manually again to verify everything is as it should be! Update: I have gone through and fixed a handful of errors by manually going through all of Jagged Earth spirits and updated them accordingly. Hope this helps!

Wonderful Resource and Reminder Tool

Spirit Island is an incredibly complex game with several bonus actions you can choose to take if you’ve met certain conditions. It’s hard enough to remember if you’re just playing solo let alone cooperative. Thankfully, this app is butter smooth and can keep track of when you’ve met criteria and alert you in a non intrusive way. I highly appreciate the interface not to mention the links to the official rules and FAQ.

Awesome App!

An awesome supplemental app to the game Spirit Island. Adding up game scores was never really my thing, however since I started using this app, I have really enjoyed keeping track of my statistics within the game to see how I have been doing. With that, my main use in game is the built in FAQ which is a great one stop shop for tule checks without having to open and find it in the main booklet.
Very happy to see the addition of all the details for the upcoming Jagged Earth expansion (not sure how you got that info so fast!!) I am enjoying learning of the new spirits as I wait for my copy of the game to get shipped to me.

A few suggestions:
• A few adversaries do not calculate score correctly. (I have a Habsburg Lvl 3 which looks like a base difficulty 0 in terms of score)
• My wife and I have really enjoyed playing 3 Board games (with only 2 of us). Per the JE expansion there is a way of scoring that difficulty (in an approximate form). Would it be possible to add this into this app? So far I have just been writing it in the game notes.
• There are a few typos throughout the newer content (In scenario diversity of spirits, the “fast” icon is used when I think the presence one was intended, etc)
• Automatically complete an achievement of a game is logged that meets the conditions.
• In the game log add ability to differentiate between your spirit and your teammates (without completely ignoring them)
•Summary of your game log on the spirit/adversary menu (not the subpage for each one) stating something like a simple win/loss record like (3-1) to make it easy to browse through and see how you compare with different spirits and against different adversaries/scenarios

Love the App

Would be 5 stars if the difficulty worked right. Points are miscalculated when scoring. The difficulty will not change. Otherwise a great app. The scoring used to work great prior to jagged earth.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear the difficulty in the scoring hasn't been working properly for you. Can you contact us at: contact@nerdroomsoftware.com and explain the situation you are seeing? We would love to get this correct in the next update if possible. Thank you!

Great tracking app

A great app for tracking you spirit island games. Easy to use and Jagged Earth update is complete.
It would be interesting to see more achievements like different types of victories (example: Where did everybody go? Fear level 1 victory) and other spirit specific goals similar to Pool Party.

Response from developer

Glad you are enjoying it! There will be an update within the next couple days depending on how fast the review process goes that will fix the Jagged Earth spirits problem.

Love this App

Replaces an Excel spreadsheet I was using. Great job!

Response from developer

The wins and losses are now in the spirit details screen as of version 2.0.4. Hope this helps!

Perfect Companion App

I love to use this app every time we play Spirit Island. Easy to use and the achievements section is a fun challenge to try and attempt. Must get if you are into this game!

Good app, wrong scoring for defeats

In my copy of spirit island (8th printing) scoring has a different formulas for victory and defeat. This app appears to use only the victory scoring formula for both victory and defeat.

Otherwise great tracker app otherwise

Response from developer

We are glad you are enjoying the app! We do have checks for victory versus defeat but that doesn't mean there couldn't be some bug that we have missed. If you have some examples of the scoring so we can get this corrected, please send us an email at contact@nerdroomsoftware.com. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused and hope you will continue to use the app as we have some cool updates coming soon!
