### 5/5 — Looks Great!

*2014-02-18, version 1.1*

The interface is easy to use and it looks great.

### 4/5 — Love it. Wish it had an EDH mode

*2014-02-01, version 1.1*

Simple, easy, love it. Kinda wish it had an EDH mode that would automatically preset life to 40 and have a commander damage tracker.

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2014-01-10, version 1.1*

Good one

### 5/5 — Beautiful and ergonomic

*2013-12-19, version 1.1*

My only suggestion would be to add a coin toss button.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-11-27, version 1.1*

It just works and works well.  Thanks for a really nice app.

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-11-19, version 1.1*

Kept it simple and easy a perfect app for MTG

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-10-05, version 1.1*

Does what it needs to and looks awesome

### 4/5 — Almost perfect!

*2013-09-16, version 1.1*

Beautiful, pleasing, and simple design make it a must have.

The only thing this app needs is a poison counter track for the players. And if there was the option to have any number of players' scores, it would be the single best MTG app, bar none.

Strongly recommended.

### 4/5 — 余計な機能がないシンプルなAPPで使いやすい

*2013-09-03, version 1.1*

余計な機能を着けないかわりにシンプルでカッコよく、直感で操作できるデザインに仕上がっており、とても使いやすい。

改善点としては、PlayerNameを変更してもAPPを閉じてしまうとResetされてしまうこと。

### 5/5 — Good App

*2013-08-14, version 1.1*

I really prefer this app to the other life counters, from the style to the ease of use it really is built well. The only real issue that I have with it is the fact that it doesn't have a vertical set up so your opponent and yourself can look at and manage respective health at the same time without having to turn the phone.

### 1/5 — Не удобно

*2017-05-14, version 2.0*

Обновили и стало некрасиво и неудобно. Качаю другое приложение(((

### 1/5 — 画面焼け

*2017-02-25, version 2.0*

バージョンアップしてから目がチカチカするような色になったのはまだマシな話で、使っているうちに画面焼けして跡が目立つようになった。

### 1/5 — アップデートで全然違うアプリに。

*2017-01-12, version 2.0*

いつのまにか、アップデートで全く違うアプリに変わっていた。
WindowsのOSが変わる時もそうだけど、デザインを全く新たらしいものにしてしまうのはなぜだろう。
色はチープだし、使い難い。
残念ながら他のアプリを使うことにした。

### 2/5 — アプデで残念に

*2017-02-19, version 2.0*

シンプルさが良かったのに重くなってどうする

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2013-08-23, version 1.1*

Keeps track of life, that's it.
Would be nice if it rotated so I don't have to have my iPad always standing tall and for the keyboard to appear at the bottom of the screen instead of the side when I enter names.
The 'helpful' text in the middle isn't helpful, just a singular reminder to be nice...

### 4/5 — iPadなら

*2020-11-03, version 2.0*

iPadで立てて使うのでこれが一番見やすくて使いやすいですね。

### 4/5 — Amazing!! With some work though

*2015-05-07, version 1.1*

This app is absolutely beautiful!! Everything looks so great and the side by side is a wonderful design. I love it a lot. Though, I did wish they added a color designer to match your deck and your opponent's deck. For me, thats a personal reference. Other than that its great!!

### 4/5 — Keep it simple

*2015-04-19, version 1.1*

I like this the way it is, the only improvement I would add would be a toggle to have the other half of the scoreboard face the other player and another for portrait presentation. In this way each player can see their own health right-side up, and can update their own health accordingly.

### 4/5 — Love the Hipster look

*2014-12-09, version 1.1*

Functionality needs work and improvement. An echo reminder would be good..

### 4/5 — Great life counter!!

*2014-02-06, version 1.1*

This is one of the best life counters I've seen, only one my friends and I use due to its simplicity and how quickly you can +/- life. Only problem is we have to use my iPhone and iPad to have 4 people play. If you added the option to have more than 2 people on your counter I'd give you 5 stars all day. A poison counter option wouldn't be bad either...

### 5/5 — Лучшее

*2017-10-10, version 2.0*

Лучший счётчик жизни для Магии.

### 5/5 — 待望のアップデート

*2017-01-12, version 2.0*

UIも綺麗で無駄も無く、アップデートでより使いやすくなりました。
画面の色がチカチカとすると思う方は、画面を上にスワイプすると設定画面から元に戻せます。

### 5/5 — バーン専用の面があって便利

*2017-01-12, version 2.0*

前のデザインが好みではなかったので、選べるようになって嬉しいです。あたらいい「デフォルト」がすきです。

バーン面はギャグに見えますが、本当に使っているので、bolt you (-3)のダブりではなくfetch (-1)があると便利なのかもしれません。

### 5/5 — とても使い易い

*2016-11-09, version 1.1*

デザインも良いです。

### 5/5 — Beauty in Simplicity

*2015-02-03, version 1.1*

The best thing about this app is that the creator didn't bog it down with useless junk. The colors are beautiful, the app keeps my device awake, both life totals are pointed towards me so I can keep track of both easily! 

The features of 5 person life tracking or planeswalker counters are not here, NOR SHOULD THEY BE. 

What this app does it does it PERFECTLY. 

I don't want to write the names of my opponents every time I play against someone new, I don't want to change the background of his life counter by the colors he is playing, I don't want the life totals facing 14 different ways and I DEFINITELY DONT WANT UGLY DESIGN!

This app stayed away from every mistake that would have ruined the beauty of the app. 

If he ever does decide to improve it, please remember that simplicity for the user is the most important aspect. I don't want to role a dice if that requires me to give away 15% of the button real estate to have a button there for it..... 

Thank u for this FREE APP. 

One thing I would have liked is more funny comments in between the life counters. That would have made this app cute and fun to show off at draft ^_^ thank you!

### 5/5 — 💙

*2015-01-17, version 1.1*

Tutti i miei amici usano altre app ma a me questa è quella  che piace di più !! 
Bravi

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-10-09, version 1.1*

Thank you for building such a great app to keep track of my life total. My only suggestion would be to include a poison counter for each player. Other than that, I absolutely love how clean this looks.

### 5/5 — Best Life Counter Period.

*2014-09-09*

I have used a lot of life counters from small operation to card store titans. This is simply the best one out there.

It's sleek. It's simple. It lets you multitask and your phone doesn't go to sleep.

Perfection for the casual gamer, all the way up to the twitch.tv stream (I have seen it used on both santo shop and CFB stream of GP SLC).

Yes, I'm competitive REL you can't use your mobile device, but that doesn't make this app any worse. It is fantastic beyond belief. You can even change the names to show who is up a game. Unreal

### 5/5 — Simple and Beautiful

*2014-08-23, version 1.1*

Very simple life, but that is it! Big buttons, big counters, all that we need :)

Thanks!

### 5/5 — ライフカウンターとして

*2014-02-22, version 1.1*

ちょうどいい。 デザインもいいしね。
