Great app for mtg

Love this app. This is the best life counter I’ve found for magic the gathering. You can change everyone’s starting life total on the fly. You can change the color of your life counter to represent the color of your deck. I like the roll feature because it makes it easier to decide who goes first in the turn order. I’ve been using this app for years so i paid to get rid of the adds for $5. The adds aren’t even that bad because its a small banner at the bottom of the screen. I’d recommend it to anyone

Life total review

This is a great app, it has really helped me, but it is missing many counters. I believe that doing that allowing you to add life in tens, this would be an app with hundreds of five star ratings.

Pop up adds

The app used to be great. Now it has pop up adds that are loud and just loop until you tap a microscopic x just for another add to pop up 5 minutes later.

Works but missing main feature

App works great for counting main life however for commander it’s missing the commander damage counter. Other apps have the ability to have 40 health then the 20 under it but this app does not. Have to knock it hard for missing something needed and so simple to add to the app.

Was good, ruined by ads

It used to only have unobtrusive banner ads on the bottom of the screen, which was great, but recently it’s been having pop up full screen ads. These prevent you from interacting with the life totals while open so they are super annoying. Also I’ve gotten a few that open in my browser and try to download an app, which is super sketchy. Give this one a skip.
