I forgot the email so I linked a new email and retried to buy the life linker plus. However my phone and iPad both say “in app purchases unavailable”. Considering that I have in app purchases allowed and enabled on my devices the problem must be with the App itself. Please please please fix this. I love the app. And I love command zone and I love game knights Please fix ### 2/5 — In App Purchase Failure *2024-05-22, version 1.80* I’ve tried purchasing the plus version to change names but keep getting an error message stating that in-app purchases are currently unavailable. I’ve checked my settings and refreshed the app a few times but nothing is working. ### 2/5 — Tragic Slip *2023-02-23, version 1.80* While Game Knights has done some good for the community, their Lifelinker app is downright forgetful nowadays. It has not been updated in years, it is poorly optimized to the point that it can seconds to do anything except track life, and there are a handful of free apps with better features and/or UI. ### 2/5 — Really lackluster *2023-01-28, version 1.80* This app does what it says on the box - but its not very intuitive. Its doesnt pass the Norman Door test. Tapping left and right for life totals to go up and down doesnt make sense. Also youre likely to hit the menu button while changing your life total. It also has a load time, indicating that its a complex app… but it’s incredibly simple. Also ideally once you’ve purchased the background it would be nice if it auto picked backgrounds for you. All up, it works, but the companion app is better. ### 3/5 — Pro purchase doesn’t work *2021-08-30, version 1.80* Purchased the pro version through the app for 89p (not much granted,) but it doesn’t unlock anything, just keeps bringing up the option to purchase. ### 2/5 — There are better options *2021-04-15, version 1.80* There are better free options. I would be happy to pay if this was superior but it’s lacking features. Doesn’t seem to be able to track infect counters etc. Lots of extras for pay. Runs clunky on my iPhone XS. ### 4/5 — Great App But... *2021-03-25, version 1.80* Awesome app and I love game knights, however I wish there was a slightly better UI for the menu (maybe where u can see settings etc) and also maybe see a bit more customizability in the colors/pictures for players. ### 4/5 — Upgrade is buggy *2021-02-04, version 1.80* In-app purchase didn't work for a while. I kept checking and spamming the restore and purchase buttons and eventually it worked. Would've only been 99p down the toilet but was still pretty annoying... ### 4/5 — THE LINE IS OFF CENTER but the app is okay *2020-06-18, version 1.80* This app works pretty well but the UI is not always straight forward, but the biggest problem is that the line down the middle is not center. If you respect yourself, you’ll complain about this as well. ### 4/5 — Purchased not worked (fixed) *2020-06-10* Not good, purchased but still usable. (After few days of purchased is now working). 👌 ### 4/5 — A great app but could use slight improvements *2020-05-17, version 1.80* The app has a lot of features that I like. The ability to keep the screen from sleeping, save players and to track damage from each commander is great. My one compliant is that they don’t have it set up to where when you increase commander damage your life total automatically decreases. This seems like a simple fix that should be added. ### 2/5 — I mean, it works... *2020-02-24, version 1.80* I’m an avid listener to the Command Zone podcast and just didn’t feel like the same effort that you use for the podcast made it in to this app. It was disappointing how little I could do without paying and it just seemed a bad, desperate attempt to get people to spend $ ### 4/5 — Love the show app suggestions *2020-02-07, version 1.80* I love the interface of this app, I think it needs two small tweaks , an ability to save players names or at least your name into it so you don’t have to keep typing it each time, commander damage to come off the life total instead of it being seperate would also be really good.other then that awesome app, will move to 5 star !! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — In app purchases unavailable *2024-11-08, version 1.80* Can’t unlock the full version. Not sure if this app is an abandoned product. ### 1/5 — Failed Functionality *2022-05-15, version 1.80* Purchased the upgrade for $0.99 but the app did not upgrade to any of the promised features. Does not facilitate gameplay, not a good purchase. ### 1/5 — Oh No! *2022-02-05, version 1.80* Oh No! Good reviews are only available for good apps! ### 1/5 — Saved profiles don’t work *2021-08-08, version 1.80* The reason I would like to use this app over others is the saved profiles, but they don’t work. Every time I try to load a saved profile it loads the wrong one. ### 1/5 — Charged for Plus but app didn’t unlock *2021-06-19, version 1.80* Hi, I have enjoyed using the app and so I decided to pay the .99 to fully unlock the features, but they are still locked behind the paywall. Apple shows that the payment was processed, and when I try to restore my purchase the app says it will send me an email but it never does. I would love to give this a higher rating but until the features unlock is fixed or my purchase refunded I will not be able to. ### 1/5 — App would be great but... *2020-10-17, version 1.80* The app wouldn’t unlock all the features after I purchased the full version! ### 1/5 — Don’t pay until updated *2020-07-10, version 1.80* Paid for the premium and it hasn’t unlocked or changed anything. Disappointed ### 1/5 — Purchased the app and it won’t let me use it *2020-03-11, version 1.80* For some reason the letters for the email will only be entered in capital letters and I never receive a code to my email to redeem and activate the app after purchase seemed cool and it supports the command zone buuut it would be awesome if I could access what I paid for ### 1/5 — HELP *2020-01-20, version 1.80* In-app purchases still do not work even with the update. The box shows up “restore” and the purchase option, but will not allow me access to what I purchased. It claims I have purchased it already and yet doesn’t allow me access to the content. Please help, love the app! ### 1/5 — Can’t upgrade even after paying *2019-12-12, version 1.60* I downloaded this and and chose to upgrade it to be able to track a history of wins/losses between the players I play with. After paying for the upgrade it keeps saying I still need to upgrade to receive those features. Tried restoring purchase, redownloading, and nothing.. please fix or refund ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Top App 👍 - maybe… *2022-11-22, version 1.80* This App is perfect for magic and playing Commander with friends. Maybe the Devs should add an option to roll a d20, because more and more mtg cards require to roll a d20. That would be nice Thanks 4 reading :) ### 5/5 — Best MTG app *2021-10-27, version 1.80* This has got to be the best app for counting your life. I highly recommend everyone try this app. Its awesome! ### 5/5 — In app purchase fault *2020-06-27, version 1.80* Paid for the in app update but none of the features will work. ### 5/5 — A great app totally recommend *2020-06-12, version 1.80* It has a good method of keeping track with just a click and if you hold it goes down in ten or up. It also has amazing background and other abilities ### 5/5 — Great *2020-05-14, version 1.80* It’s a great app, I love using it at home and out in public, plus saving your friends so you can pull them up if you just wanna sit down for a game of EDH is amazing. ### 5/5 — Fixed issues *2020-04-22, version 1.80* I initially posted a 1 star review as I was unable to use the premium features. Within 24 hours the issues with my app were resolved. App now works great, appreciate the fix! ### 5/5 — Great for mtg players *2020-04-06, version 1.80* Never had a problem and you are able to use life and dice on your phone and it helps. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-03-28, version 1.80* Best way to track life in magic games and what our channel (unmasters of magic) uses for all our videos. Great work! I don’t know if you read all these but one recommendation? Allow for importing pictures so instead of coloured backgrounds we could have a picture. ### 5/5 — Somethings up *2019-12-17, version 1.60* I absolutely love the app,but for some reason when i tried to restore my app it didn’t let me ,it said “oops, are you connected to the internet?” And i checked and i am. It happened on both my phone, and tablet each time i tried logging in. ### 5/5 — Nice app! *2019-08-12, version 1.60* This app is one of my most used apps on my phone! It’s super useful along with the fact that you can use it anytime anywhere and offline! Besides a bug I ran into once that, can easily be fixed by deleting and re-downloading the app, it’s totally a great app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
