### 4/5 — A Very Good Start

*2025-03-31*

This does almost everything that I would like for it to do. There are two things that are pretty much a must have for me. One is to save the fighters so that you don’t need to re-enter them every fight. The other is to be able to change the initiative. If we could at least change the initiative between fights then not being able to say the fighters would be acceptable.
But I don’t want to take the time to re-enter every fighter for the next battle.
However, I really love having the SRD available. As it is, I use this app to quickly show me the stats of each monster, but I’m using another one for the initiative tracking.

### 3/5 — Great, but…

*2024-11-24*

This is definitely one of the better initiative trackers. Great for its simplicity & clean interface. Great for for Game Masters looking to better tack turns.
It also tracks Hit Points, Armor Class, & Conditions. A couple of minor issues stopping this from receiving a full five-star review is that you cannot (at the time of this review) edit characters after starting a fight. It would also be really nice to be able to save your own monsters/creatures in a separate list for fast plug in.

**Developer response:** Hi, and thank you very much for the review. I really appreciate your suggestions. I am currently working on designing a new version of the app that will improve the overall user experience. Unfortunately, I can’t work as quickly as I’d like, but I’ll do my best to release the new version in the coming months

### 2/5 — Party doesnt stick?

*2024-10-04*

Is there no way to save your characters from session to session? Seems you have to enter every party member every time to start an encounter. Nothing gets saved?

### 4/5 — Great, but…

*2024-09-01*

This is definitely one of the better initiative trackers. Great for its simplicity, clean interface, and super easy to use. It’s almost perfect for your minimal Game Master needs.

It also tracks Hit Points, Armor Class, & Conditions.

It would also be really nice to be able to save your own monsters/creatures in a separate list for fast plug in.

I would still recommend this one over many trackers.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2024-04-06*

This app is so useful for combat, I just wish you could edit the stats and int after adding them

### 5/5 — Testing

*2024-03-12*

Hello, just wanted to leave a bug I found and how to replicate it.  The app itself will crash/close if you attempt to add a custom named instance of a npc/pc with 0 initiative, 0 HP, and 0 AC.  

Will be testing this app out tonight at my game table.  Will update review with results.

### 4/5 — Great app but missing one key feature

*2023-11-25*

This app is really great to look at, and super handy for monsters. But I need to re-input my entire adventuring party every combat because the only time you can choose initiative is when creating a fighter.

If you could manually change a fighter’s initiative without having to delete and recreate them, that would make this app so much easier to use.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review and the very good feedback. I’ll try to add it in the future release 🤓
