Solid start
So far I’ve been very pleased with the overall performance and features of the app. It’s a great experience for solo and co-op play. However, I’ve noticed a few shortcomings throughout my play throughs with spells, quest events, and minor functionality issues; nothing game breaking though. Again, a great start and it’ll only get better.

Love it!
Haven’t had any issues so far although their are some funny things like I can move farther than 12 spaces and can take multiple actions in a turn. I would have assumed the app would prevent us from totally breaking the rules. But that’s ok it’s still awesome.
My only recommendation would be to put the app on Steam. I think it would be better on a laptop or Surface Pro size screen.

Needs Work
The end turn button is just there to make you feel better. It doesn’t really add much functionality or make you feel like it’s does anything. Both apps are designed for phones. The google version is unusable on a chrome book even when it doesn’t crash out, because it scrolls instead of moves your tokens. There is no Windows app. I’d prefer to play on something large like a laptop or Surface. Using anything but a Phablet makes you fat thumb what you intended to do. The attack action needs more functionality than a tutorial of how to roll dice. On that, the app could really use a dice roller and the ability to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi link to other phones. It would be nice to track your character sheets and inventory, etc via the app. The existing tiny character sheets get chewed up by an eraser. The app would be better if it could link up like You Don’t Know Jack and then have the DM play from a laptop while the heroes join on their individual phones, iPads, tablets, surface, etc. The app is salvageable, but pretty garbage at launch. I’ll modify my review as they improve.

Response from developer
We appreciate your feedback and have made numerous improvements since launch. Please update to our latest build, version 1.4, which now includes tablet mode (enabled in the settings menu), fixes to the token drag issue experienced on some devices, performance optimizations, and additional quest books since our launch. While these updates do not address all of your disappointments noted above (multi-device connection, digitally centric management approach), we hope you give HeroQuest Companion app another shot and stick with us as we make improvements.
Volume not working
I think the app is great in bookkeeping and helping with the game, but the sound isn’t working for me. I’ve checked the volume status on both my phone and the app. Nothing is working.
Good app but it seems to have locked up
Not sure what’s wrong, I was fighting a goblin on the first quest and now the action and move buttons make the click sound but don’t actually work and I can’t move the hero at all. I’m using an up to date iphone 10 with the big screen.
Very Promising!
This app seems very well done and quite polished. I’m really looking forward to having the opportunity to play this classic game solo when I don’t have a group available. Please add an option to use the app in a horizontal layout though! This would be super helpful because my iPad case holds it horizontally.
