Please update this app for modern devices. It’s painful to use, and the UI could be simple and adaptive.
Needs android version
This is a great tol for analyzing a game design. But with 20 years in the industry I can guarentee you that nobody with an actual job has an iPad unless they have the misfortune of working on ports.
Thank you for making this app
🥰 this helps a lot to get introduction to becoming a game designer

Life changing book
Thank you for the book. You changed my life
Great information, archaic design.
The information this app provides (especially when paired with the book) is amazing. However, it desperately needs A) a search function and B) proper display support for iPhone 10. Also, the sound design makes me cry, and it’s far too easy to accidentally favorite lenses. C’mon, you can do better than that!

Great App
Just from reading the previous reviews, I can tell that the app developer is listening to what people are saying. Several things have been fixed, and you can now swipe between the cards freely, which feels nice, and makes the experience more fluid.
Beyond that, all the advice and questions are very helpful, and it's always good to gain a bit of perspective on a project. Some of the tips apply to more than just games, too!

A must have for any game developer
This is my go to source when validating and improving any game I'm making. Buy the book "the art of game design - a book of lenses" and use that combined with this app. Your games, users and bank account will thank you.
Love the book and this App
Great companion app to the book. Highly recommend reading the book along with this. Many of the lenses (Holographic Design? Endogenous Value?) make much more sense if you've read about them.
Tremendous game design tool
Previously having been an amazing physical card deck, the digital A Deck of Lenses is a great tool to hone, adjust, or modify any video or board game design. It's a phenomenal tool for those of us in the field. If you make games, or are learning about / teaching game making, I highly recommend this tool.
