Nothing super special ### 5/5 — Best magic life counter *2026-04-25, version 1.3.3* Best magic life counter app and it’s even free. I lived too long without lifetap. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-04-19* Gosto muito do app. Para Magic é perfeito. ### 5/5 — Very in depth and useful *2026-04-19, version 1.3.2* This is a very useful life tracking app with a lot of nice features. ### 5/5 — Best Tracker *2026-04-17, version 1.3.2* When this app came out it was the best Magic tracking app, and it’s only gotten better. Perfect UI, no feature bloat. Have even been successful using it with other games. ### 5/5 — Lifetap rating *2026-04-17, version 1.3.2* I love the fact you can change your background and it’s very easy to use ### 5/5 — Fantastic app! *2026-04-05, version 1.3.2* Lifetap is the best way to keep track of commander games! The simplicity of the interface makes it super easy to use. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — o *2026-01-26, version 1.2.6* WHY THE HELL IS IT HORIZONTAL ### 1/5 — crashing *2025-05-21, version 1.2.2* wont stay open. crashes after a few seconds ### 1/5 — Crashes after latest update *2024-03-28, version 1.2.1* Crashes when hitting the player config button ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-03-27, version 1.2.1* Crashes for all of us when we try change player count ### 3/5 — How can I reset the profiles? *2026-05-18, version 1.3.3* I’m trying to reset the profile and I don’t know which button I can’t find it ### 3/5 — Needs Layout Options *2026-01-04, version 1.2.2* I wish this had ability to more clearly display counters on your player card. More like the Lotus app, otherwise I would use this one. ### 4/5 — Not bad, but confusing UX *2026-06-20, version 1.3.9* If any given commander(s) is/are selected via long press, tapping another player’s grayed out commander(s) shouldn't register damage at all, but it does. Please, display the - / + buttons by default so secondary long presses aren’t necessary to correct damage taps. ### 4/5 — Tetzin, Gnome Champion Glitch *2026-05-05, version 1.3.3* We love this app, but we’ve discovered a small glitch! If you search “Tetzin” for the background, there’s a glitch that makes it impossible to select any cards because Tetzin, Gnome Champion takes up the entire screen. We were able to do a workaround by searching “Gnome,” but wanted to inform you all. ### 4/5 — Great app!!! *2026-02-22, version 1.2.12* It works the way it should. I wish there were a few extra options however. The ability to play a game of emperor where not all life totals start out the same and something to keep track of turns/rounds. Everything else is perfect!!! ### 4/5 — Amazing. *2026-02-15, version 1.2.9* honestly the best life counter i've found. blows the competition away with the plane chase and archenemy functionality. the ONLY thing i can think of to make this any better is the use of the bounties from thunder junction. awesome app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-08-29, version 1.3.9* Solid and simple.

Planechase decks kinda need updated cause it’s not saving or updating when I enable or disable different decks ### 5/5 — A Lifetime of Tapping. *2026-07-14, version 1.3.9* Magic is a big part of my life and Lifetap has enhanced it greatly.
