### 1/5 — Missing investigators

*2021-01-23*

Many things wrong with this app. Can’t believe I got scammed.

### 4/5 — Super Helpful

*2020-05-25*

This is a great app with beautiful graphics. iPad app is better than on a phone. You can track all character stats, clues, money, etc. and quickly access rules, ancient ones, and expansions. I’ve been using It to play Arkham Horror at a distance with friends while in quarantine and it makes things really easy. Integrated dice roller, card deck / board, monster library, & game board images, would make it perfect.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2019-07-20*

The rulebook and reference guide are useful, but the character and ancient one stuff is not that useful. The character stuff could have been more helpful if the app includes information about the items each character possesses. The ancient one is just unnecessary. What is the difference between looking at the ancient one card from your iPad and looking at the real card on a table? At least the free app on Android called Arkham Companion removes the needs of using the location and other world cards, thus saving a lot of space..

### 5/5 — Great useful app!

*2018-07-31*

Good replacement for Fantasy Flights abandoned app. Would love to see something similar for Eldritch Horror!

### 4/5 — Good assistant utility

*2017-12-17*

Works well. Would have given 5, but needs an Old One select/random option, Terror Tracker and dice rolling utility. Developer should look into adding the playable cards for the various decks and first player indicator. These enhancements would help to bring in purchasers of the Arkham Horror Toolkit from Fantasy Flight as development has been discontinued on the AHT and will not support iOS 11.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-11-02*

This app simplifies AH gameplay a lot.

### 5/5 — Extremely Helpful!

*2016-06-07*

I just got Arkham Horror, and was overwhelmed with the amount of cards involved.  I'm jot huge into these types of board games (I bought it purely out of my love for Lovecraft), so I don't know if this is the norm. However this app really has helped me save space and made it a less daunting task setting it up and playing it.  I'd kill for future updates to include the Arkham and Other World encounter cards as well as virtual dice.  However, it's a great app as it stands.  Well worth the purchase.

### 4/5 — Excellent app.

*2016-04-29, version 1.6.3*

Very happy with iPad Pro optimizations. If you're looking for an elegant way to simplify the mechanics of Arkham Horror, this is a perfect solution.

### 4/5 — Finally, Searchable Rules!

*2016-02-05*

I had some problems with an earlier version of this app, but the developer was incredibly responsive and now the new version seems to have fixed things. The real value here for me is having all the rules in a searchable format. Everything else is just icing. One note: previously the SPEED/SNEEK didn't match the physical character card of the Gloria Goldberg character that came with the game. That has been fixed, but I spotted this discrepancy by accident and have not checked other character's stats here. Anyway, I don't know if this app will come in handy during actual game play, but the kindness and responsiveness of the developer goes a long way with me.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2016-01-24*

Does not breakdown the rules/gameplay. Waste of a buck!
