It’s okay as a level counter, has a dice rolling feature, and a boon, but that’s not what I’m looking for when downloading a munchkin app. I need to be able to track for a group! Not everyone wants to download an app, and especially not one that doesn’t allow for group tracking. Steer clear of this app, it is so not worth the money. Plenty of free group trackers out there. ### 2/5 — Minimal Effort *2024-04-11* App only supports one player and it only counts levels and has a combat counter. For five dollars, it could have at least kept track of items being used and combat bonuses. ### 3/5 — Needs to be updated *2021-08-12* Good app, but it needs to be updated for newer screens (the bottom and top on newer screens are just black). ### 3/5 — App is... Okay *2019-05-26* Bought this app for playing the base game of Munchkins to help with near-constant counting of bonuses during fights (especially ones where other Munchkins are trying to boost my enemies). That being said, the Boons are beautiful. They have saved me a time or two along with the beautiful cacophony of groans. Other than that, this app is less than stellar. The level 1-10 Counter is useless aside from the Boons and if maybe you lost your game board. Really bought this with the intention of being a quick way to add items and essentially be my digital ‘character sheet’ to keep my total power number readily available. Really thought that in 2-3 years, items would have been added. So if you want a simple 1-10 counter with an extra ability designed to extract groans and foul language from your buddies, this is a good app. Just maybe not at $4.99. Hopefully we’ll see items and in-game cards added soon. ### 2/5 — Не стоит *2018-01-05* Единственный плюс - это одна халявная карта за игру. Остальное не удобно. А за такие деньги просто не понятно - какого лешего???!!!! ### 3/5 — Mostly happy, but... *2016-06-18* Don't get me wrong, I like the app, but it is limited. -There is no Munchkin Epic, the Boons are a fun twist and a lovely unfair advantage, but if you just want a counter, get something else. I am actually happy with this purchase. When they add all the games, and add Epic maybe even some dungeon, I will be completely happy. I would even pay another dollar or two for that version! ### 1/5 — Not worth $5 *2016-01-27* Go find one of the free versions; this is ridiculous. ### 4/5 — Complete turnaround *2016-01-23* App is much better since the update, it actually works again on ios9 and looks much better with the higher resolution, overall very pleased ### 1/5 — Won't open *2016-01-16, version 1.3* Keep trying to open the app, and it crashes every time. Pretty frustrating to say the least. Gotta get this fixed, guys. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Does not work with iOS 9 *2016-01-15, version 1.3* Doesn't work with iOS 9. Will not open. ### 2/5 — Help!!!! *2016-01-08* Awesome app. We use it all the time with the game but the recent iOS update does not support it. Help or my buddy will have way too much an advantage with his stupid older unit ### 2/5 — Update made it stop working *2016-01-07, version 1.3* Newest update caused the game to stop working. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Any other level Counter is better *2025-01-26* This is a very poorly built app that does not provide you with the features you would expect to be there when paying for it. Why in the world is it built for only one player and only their level and not their gear as well? This is just a money grab of an app. When Steve Jackson Games catches up with the most basic game level counters on the market for free I will consider 2 stars. But this app is a waist of your money. ### 1/5 — Не меряет уровни *2024-03-09* Это счетчик уровней только для 1 игрока. То есть каждый должен заплатить по 450 р, чтобы играть и считать уровни 🙈😂 ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2023-06-06* It should really be a free app. There’s nothing special about it. There are plenty of free apps that do more than this one and even better at it. ### 1/5 — Unresponsive, Lack of Features *2022-10-31* The app goes unresponsive several times during a game. Also, it lacks many features that are present in other free Munchkin counters such as combat level counter and regular level counter. For $5, I expected this to be a much better app. I’ve tried to get my money back and will continue to press the developer for a refund. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2017-09-05* You can only track one character. Very disappointed I was really looking forward to using the boons. ### 1/5 — DONT BUY *2017-03-12* Not at all worth $5 so limited in what it does. Terrible in every aspect! DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!!! ### 1/5 — Worst Purchase Ever *2017-01-01* Never buy this it is a complete waste of money and is created like it was in 2000 ### 1/5 — Not Worth It *2016-03-22* This is a serious waste of money. It needs to be less expensive for what it is. Now, if it was an app version of the game? Yeah, that'd be worth your money. As just a level counter? Don't waste your money or hard-earned cash. ### 1/5 — P.O.S. *2016-02-27* I can't believe I paid $5 for this crap. You can only track one character, the design and layout is not at all professional, and as other reviewers have said, functionality is not at all worth $5. Save yourself the money and use pen and paper, it will be a much better experience. ### 1/5 — Overpriced *2016-02-14* Are you kidding me? It's an app that scrolls the numbers 1 through 10. If it were .99, I'd give it a pass. Charging $5.00 is ludicrous. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — You get a bonus boon - what more do you need to know... *2019-01-07* If you’re a Munchkin fan, then this is for you. If not, move along - nothing to see here :-) It gives you appropriately cheesy sound effects as you level up (or down) but doesn’t track your effective fight level separately - we use the kills counter for that. ### 5/5 — Good! *2018-01-03* Please, make it for several players! ### 5/5 — Finally it works again! *2016-01-25* This is a great app to have an advantage over your rivals in Munchkin. So happy it has finally been updated to work with ios9! ### 5/5 — Runs great after update! Thanks! *2016-01-24* It runs again! Thanks for the fix! Now if it would only have a better way to keep track of armour, bonuses, and combat strength I'd be even happier! ### 5/5 — Respect!!!! *2016-01-23* Please update ZOMBIE DICE too!!! ### 5/5 — Makes the game even more fun *2016-01-23* Thank you for the update. It is now working perfectly on my iPhone 6. ### 5/5 — Fixed for Big phones! *2016-01-23* Finally looking good on the 6 plus and granting boons again. A must have for any munchkin player. ### 5/5 — New update is great! *2016-01-22* Finally, I can use the Munchkin level counter with my iPhone 6S. Thanks for bringing it up to date! ### 5/5 — Oh no! *2015-11-09, version 1.3* I’m using the latest iOS, and the app keeps crashing! Help, please! ### 5/5 — Boon *2015-01-02, version 1.3* Me and my friends love munchkin but im the only one of us that has money on the app store so.. Im the only one with a boon. Unfair but so worth it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
