### 1/5 — 好きなライフカウンター作れると見てダウンロードしたのに

*2023-06-06, version 1.1*

設定から背景をこちらの画像から作るをやろうとしたらホームに戻されるの繰り返し勿論アンインストールしてからインストも何度化しましたでもダメです！どうすれば良いか対策教えてください
レビューじゃなくてすみません

### 5/5 — ほんとにありがたい

*2021-06-27, version 1.1*

楽しく使わせていただいております！広告増やしても全然大丈夫です。好きな画像をセットできる点や細かい設定まですごく便利で、音もいい感じです。ですが、改善点として考えられることがいくつかあるので書きます。有料版のみの仕様でもいいので追加いただけると嬉しいです。
・プレイヤー名の色の変更
・一つのライフカウンターを全画面表示
・ライフを特定の数字に設定するのとは別でライフを+〇〇、-〇〇などで一括変更(数字は2、3、4、5、10など)またこの機能を追加する場合はこのボタンを常時表示できる設定と真ん中のバーのうちのボタンを押すとボタンが表示されるように。
お手数には思いますがどうぞよろしくお願い申し上げます。

### 5/5 — めちゃいい

*2020-04-25, version 1.1*

一人回しがしやすいように2Pのカウンター反転するのに感動しました

### 3/5 — Great app

*2018-12-09*

Would give 5 stars, but I can’t get rid of the ads at the bottom. I don’t mind having ads to support the creator but it is extremely annoying.

### 3/5 — 使いやすいが...

*2018-06-05, version 1.0*

ライフ増減時の音が気になるので消してほしいです。

### 3/5 — 使いやすいけど

*2018-01-06, version 1.0*

使いやすいけど音が大きい。

### 5/5 — ヤッタゼ

*2017-08-04, version 1.0*

あいふぉんでも使いやすいの出るの待ってた。
名前が白固定で背景によっては見えづらいこと以外はすんごいありがたい。

### 3/5 — まぁまぁだけど他にもいいのありそう

*2017-04-10, version 1.0*

設定を変更しようと思ったら突然他アプリの広告動画が流れてきた。ファイト中に流れたらめんどくさそう。

### 5/5 — 使いやすい･:*+.\(( °ω° ))/.:+

*2017-03-20, version 1.0*

ライフ上げ下げの時の音ON/OFFができるようにしてほしい。
名前部分の色分けできる機能が欲しい。バックが白と名前が見づらい(ﾟ∀ﾟ)

### 5/5 — とても使いやすい！

*2017-03-14, version 1.0*

特殊フラッグのライフにも対応、背景編集可能で、自分だけのライフカウンターが手軽にできるのが嬉しいです！！！
