Genuinely listens to feedback.
My family and I reached out and asked if he could add a color wheel and he emailed us back and stated that he would add one! Cool to see a dev that cares!
Some nice features, but some important negatives as well.
Left a review before and it was wiped.
Worst part about this app is it's all online based. Not onlne? Nope. Can't use. Don't want to have all your players log in, just want a DM initiative tracker? Nope. Want to have it persist between sessions? Nope. Online rooms time out, all your hard work, gone. Want to add a large group of entries that persist? Nope, can't do that. Want to create a bunch of presets. Sure ok, you can do that. But when you make changes to the entry it won't save. You will have to completely delete that entry and re-make it to get it to save as a preset. Want to have access to a large pool of colors to mark lots of different groups? Nope. We'll give you a small pool and leave out some primaries, just because. My first review was a lot more tactful, but nothing here is exaggerated or untrue. This is how it is. Don't waste your money.
Developer reached out and replied, which was really nice. I feel bad about the negative review now, but while it isn't tactful, it isn't untrue. I did change it to 3 stars, and changed the title, for reaching out and communicating with me because I find that to be impressive and will happily raise it further if there are any positive changes in the future.
In reply to your response: I'd used the app for a long time before I left this review. The timing out wasn't a one time thing. It happens every session. We play sessions every other Sunday and the room has never lasted until the next session. In reality though, you don't need the room to persist forever; what it really needs is a way to save so it can resume in the future. Anyway, thank you very much for your reply.

Thanks for a honest review. This was a short passion project and the reason for putting it behind a payment was to at least try to break even with the server cost. About the rooms timing out, did you try restarting the app or re-entering the room? They are not deleted and as such you can re-enter them at any time if you remember the room code. Being able to run it offline is a good idea, but needs a refactor to the networking layer. I'll see if I can find some time in the following weeks.

New update
The update 2/2024 has crashed the app. It is currently nonfunctional.
Response from developer
Thanks for the response. Could you send us email using the "Feedback" option in the Settings tab explaining under which circumstances the app crashes.
Easy to use needs improvement
It’s a great app so far the only problem is the dice values modifiers needs to be between 1-20 but initiatives have a 0 value or even negative values -1, -2, -3 so on.
Response from developer
Hi and thanks for the feedback. This was added in the version 1.3 and should soon be available to all players! Best, Ivan
