Great tool

Much easier to use than the regular game boards if you're stuck for space or want some visual and audio cues for when you hit the next level of XP.

Used it to play through mission 1 last week, the three survivors I controlled I used the iPad for and the other three my friend used the cards. Worked quite well as long as you keep the cards you pick up and have equipped on the app in a separate pile so they don't end up in the discard pile and back in circulation.

Great app - hope you update it when season 2 comes out :D

Great accesery

Helps keep track of character exp., level skills, actions, wounds and equipment. You can even use it to roll dice. However you'll still need to draw the physical cards yourself

Amazing

Great app, Please update for Zombicide 2!

Fantastic looking App

Perfect for playing solo as the boards take up a lot of table space by themselves. One of my bug bears is having to pick up the character cards to move on the experience pointer and now.... I don't have to!!! Looking forward to using the app in anger!

Good job

This App is a must have. But the lack of the new caracter and the draging item problem give it only 3 star

It's a good app for the game but...

Use of this app certainly does save wear and tear on the game parts. It keeps things much more organized, helps track action points and also tracks kills easily. What it lacks is something that was a feature point for me - ability to create custom characters. There should be a way to import pictures from the camera roll and customize a card for your new character then save them to the iPad.

Okay, but could be more useful

I agree with most of the comments below. I would love to be able to add a custom character to the mix, and it would be great to be able to see all the characters on one screen for tracking and trading purposes. Also, though the instructions show the various types of actions with icons, the app itself only has a generic action button to push. And with that, wouldn't it make sense if you search the deck, or tap a combat card, it would press an action button automatically?

One other minor observation, though it does open up some interesting variations. In the rules, you cannot mix actions between characters, as in, each character has to take all the actions before another character takes his or hers. In the app, you can move between characters freely regardless of how many actions a character has taken or has remaining. I may change house rules to allow the mixing of actions between characters based on the app, but that's not the way the rules are currently written.

However, overall, it does add some ease of bookkeeping to the game, and I will probably use it when I play only with stock characters.

Solid App

I've used this app to play through a few senarios and so far it seems to handle everything really nicely.

One thing I would like to see added:
Ability to create and save a custom character. Would be awesome to be able to upload an character image, enter a name, and select the abilities that represent that character. Additionally, would be very cool if the saved characters could be uploaded to a dropbox account and shared with other users.

Perfect gaming companion

This app is an absolute must have when playing Zombicide!
Makes action tracking way easier. When survivors hit higher levels it can be difficult to track all of the actions they can make but, this app makes that simple.

They just need to add the ability to use your own custom survivors within the app.

Thanks for such a great app.

What cat food again said

This app is really helpful, and does a great job replacing the fiddly character cards, but I would love to see a toggle to show all the characters at once. At least a screen that shows everyone's experience level, inventory, and chosen skills. So far as I can see, that is all that this aid is missing. Great helper app, all in all.
