Could be amazing
I downloaded this app today, unfortunately I can flip a monster card over to view all of them on the page together and I can’t add any hit points to them so we have gone back to using the cards from the game, it’s a real shame. If this gets fixed I look forward to using this in the future.
Thankful
I am thankful that this app has risen to fill the void left when the previous developer stopped supporting their companion app. I am still playing a backlog of games, and appreciate being able to automate many of the fidly tracking features in Gloomhave, Jaws of the Lion, and eventually Frosthaven when I get there. Works exactly as expected and supports our occasional desire to play with more than recommended number of players.

Wonderful App (One possible issue)
Don’t hesitate. Get this app and streamline everything about the game. I think maybe there is a slight issue with the enemy’s deck. We are playing JOTL and recently, whenever the enemies get an attack with a shuffle icon, that same card reappears VERY FREQUENTLY. Sometimes 2-3 times in a row. Odd.
Connection issues make this worse than worthless
If this didn’t exist my crew would just use cards. But it does exist and so I get to choose between having no idea what the monsters are doing and spending my evening trying to reconnect constantly.
This also makes Frosthaven less enjoyable.

Was good then the networking code got bad
Trying to keep all my groups phones connected to our tablet server is a nightmare. I have never been more frustrated with an ios app as I am with this one.
Updates: awesome! (Old: Nice replacement, needs a few tweaks still)
Nice app, mostly seems to work as well as the no-longer-available app did. A couple of wish list items for me…. 1. Please automatically remove statuses when they expire! Statuses have to be manually removed. Ie, you stun a monster. It should lose that status at the end of its next turn. The app currently doesn’t do that automatically. 2. Let us drag folks around to alter the initiative order. One player can alter their initiative +/- 10 after the initiative reveal, and sometimes we simply mistype in a number for a player. It would be extremely helpful if we could drag a player’s character up/down in the initiative order once we have drawn the monsters initiatives to adjust for those circumstances, as once we have drawn, we currently can neither drag nor can we change the number. 3. Make the various decks a touch bigger. The ally and monster decks are very close together and the “a” and “m” identifying which is which is very small, even on my larger iPad, so when we have an ally taking a turn, it can be very easy to accidentally draw from the monster deck. Edit to add: Thank you! I had tried online for solutions and hadn't found any helpful chatter. Those all work! Changing my review to 5 stars. Great app!

Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback! I know the app is not the best at explaining itself, but we are working on it. 1. there is an option to expire conditions, please see the settings menu. 2. long press to drag 3. in settings you can scale elements of the main view. to scale up the ally and monster deck, you could scale up the bottom/top bars, the attached ui elements will scale with them.

Great app, so many features
The app is absolutely great. I used the Gloomhaven helper when playing Gloomhaven and I am using x-haven for Frosthaven. The app improves almost any aspect of the already very good GH helper, and it is free. We played about 20 scenarios, and every time we needed something unusual, be it a special monster or special rules, the app had a solution ready. It even keeps track of loot and reminds section links. Perhaps the graphic presentation could be improved (it is how the pictures show) but if you value functionality over aesthetics look no further.

Game changer
This dramatically improved our game experience. Our table was cleaner. We kept better track of enemy status effects. It was faster to play through a scenario. And the app is polished AF
Amazing
