No Landscape Mode
Bought it. Launched it. Closed it. Refunded it.
No landscape mode, so I can’t use it on my tablet at the table. App is useless without such a common feature.

Conditions not fully functional
The app says it tracks conditions, but the conditions don’t have a value, meaning there is no “Frightened 1” vs “Frightened 2”. I will still have to track all condition duration and values separately anyway, making that part of the app effectively useless.
It does track track initiative as advertised.
The condition list also contains conditions like “Friendly” and “Hostile”, which just take up space since those don’t really need to be tracked in an encounter.
It feels like the developer doesn’t really understand the user’s needs.

Good idea that could use some work
I like the app, and we use it in our group for managing initiative. I just wish it would be more reliable in letting me enter the room and stay there as long as our combat is going on.
Aside from that, I would really like to see a landscape orientation for the iPad.

Lots of potential, but still lacking
This app could be a lot better, but I haven’t seen any improvements in quite sometime.
Saving combatants is possible, but not at all intuitive. And, you can’t make different encounters and save them all, so I have to build each encounter as I go in a game, which is a waste of time. Much faster to do that with my physical combat pad.
But, it handles the basics just fine.

Has Potential
I like the general idea but I was hoping my players could log in without having to buy the app too. That fact alone makes it only slightly useful for me.
DO NOT BUY
This app instantly crashes as soon as I choose Game Master, every time. Has not worked for me from the day I purchased it.
Good start, needs work
The interface is clean and functional but it desperately needs the ability to save combatants from encounter to encounter and to have combatants pre loaded. There’s no way I’m using this thing at the gaming table as is, it would eat up way too much time manually loading everything.
Also landscape and proper tablet support would be a plus.

Great Addition to our Game
I used this for the first time tonight, and I’m so happy with it already! It was very intuitive and easy to keep up with who’s turn it was, and next session we will be adding the ability for the other players to hook into the fight to see initiative. I wanted to test it tonight with just me keeping up. There are a few things I’d like added, but I know this just released and they’ll be adding more functions. So excited for the development of this app!

Multiple Apps?!
Okay. I bought this assuming I could enter and track initiative data manually, but then realised it uses Bluetooth and online and that my players would also have to own the app to use it. Not all of my players are going to want to shell out $4.50au to use this tracker.
I’m really disappointed this doesn’t have a ‘manual’ mode so I can use it without having to force my players to buy it. All I wanted was auto-condition tracking I could use during games, not a scheme where everyone has to buy an app for me to use it. Thumbs down.

Is exactly what it’s called.
This is an initiative tracker. Does not include stat blocks.
