Bummer. ### 5/5 — More colors? *2024-05-26* I just wanted to write a short review to let anyone who sees it know, this app is awesome! It’s very simple and convenient, compared to a lot of the other super complicated for no reason life trackers out there. My only request to the developer would be to add more colors for players, then the app would be perfect! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2023-02-06* This app has the best in-game features. I would like more color options and the option to put my own pictures as the backgrounds of each player. That’s really the main thing missing compared to other apps out there. I love that when you add commander damage it actually subtracts the life from the main life total so you don’t have to adjust to separate sections. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2023-01-28* Incredible life tracking app looks great on dark or light mode and the in app purchases are not necessary in the slightest. The best life tracking app available. ### 5/5 — It’s simplicity is it’s best feature *2023-01-08* Other apps rely too much on flourishes that complicate the information presented. This one just tracks life and commander damage and it’s great! ### 4/5 — What are the PRO features? *2023-01-08* Great app! Perfect for all our edh needs. Just curious what all the features in the pro version are? Can’t seem to find a list. ### 5/5 — The Best MTG Life Counter *2023-01-06* This app is amazing. It is simple, easy to use, and effective. I’ve tried other Magic life counters, but honestly, nothing compares. The ability to track multiple counters and the easy implementation of commander damage are amazing. If I had only one feature request, it would be to be able to set the color to a 2- or 3-color gradient. That would be awesome for my Selesnya and Izzet decks. Truly, a wonderful app. ### 4/5 — Great commander life tracker *2022-12-30, version 1.6.1* Good life tracker for commander, almost perfect! The only feature missing is the ability to change the position of player. When you play with 2 player on each side of the table it’s great, but the moment you put a player at each side of the table, I have to use an other app that don’t have those great features but allow me the choose the player placement ### 5/5 — App Is So Simple *2022-11-11* This app makes me so happy, I don’t know why. It’s just so well made with such simple UI that makes the experience so great. I would recommend this app over all the life totals on the App Store. ### 5/5 — Excellent tracker for Universus *2022-09-26* Many Universus (formerly UFS, or Universal Fighting System) players use this to keep track of character vitality (life) as well as the speed and damage of the current attack. Just set it up for 4 players. Keeps the game snapping along smoothly! 👍🏻💯 ## Frequently asked questions about Dragon Counter ### Does Dragon Counter have ads?
