Not facing right direction

The two scores of facing the same direction and it’s supposed to be facing Different ways but otherwise this app is really good I

Now listen here this life counter

Is one of the best I’ve ever used. I’ve had this counter downloaded since 2011. 2011!!! Most apps from 2011, let alone 2016 barely work now because the developers have given up. These guys have been making sure this simple but useful app stays relevant. Did I mention it’s legal in all formats. Just like edh it seems never to rotate out and it hold commander damage. Other apps don’t give you the option for commander damage, if that’s the case just use dice. Speaking of dice this has a roller for you to see who goes first or a coin if you are trying to decide whether to get a coke or a cherry coke out of the fridge. This app makes you want to throw your dice in a bag and throw that slop in the back of your bulk box. You want a 2 player game you got it. 3? You got it 4 you bet your buttered toast you got it. 5? You just need to split to pods. This app is reliable and trustworthy, the only micro transactions are to change the back ground and plane chase (for the two players who play it) and to buy these boys a coffee. The remove ads really isn’t a problem because though the ads might be bar at the bottom it really isn’t that noticeable.

Very useful

The App is good for casual play and commander games. You can keep track of counters, commander damage, and planechase apparently,if you upgrade. I had three friends download it after seeing me using it. I saw a guy’s review saying it doesn’t work on his iPhone. Works on mine just fine.

The only thing this app could use, if it’s even possible to program, is a way to make and save player profiles.

Just a life counter

The functionality is the same as many other free life counters. Paying 2.99 to remove the adds does not expand the display it just creates a big black bar at the bottom of the screen. WARNING: paying $0.99 to unlock planechase does nothing but unlock a die. The planes are not displayed or included anywhere in the app. The life counter is fine but between removing adds and unlocking "planechase" I feel like I just wasted $3.98.
