### 5/5 — Excellent time saver

*2026-08-31*

This saves _at least_ half an hour every session and reminds us of some rule we were forgetting.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Mandatory

*2026-03-21*

I don’t think I could play an arc survivors campaign without this app. It saves so much time and space; it’s truly a godsend.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2025-12-29*

My group hasn’t touched this game in over six years, but we just fired up a new campaign and are trying this app for the first time… and we’re all super impressed!  Really loving the way we can all connect and use our own devices to manage a single campaign together.  Everything links so seamlessly.  We’re still getting used to all the icons and buttons and ways to use the app, but so far we really love it!

### 4/5 — Great App

*2025-08-21, version 2.48.10*

Works great.. but a little confusing

### 5/5 — An absolute must have

*2024-12-06, version 2.47.1*

I cannot stress enough how great this app is.  I play solo and I don’t think my love for KDM would be so high if it wasn’t for this app. 

The developer is super active on discord and is happy to fix bugs and make improvements. 

The small fee for this is absolutely worth it.

### 5/5 — Must have for playing KDM

*2024-12-04*

Worked great until today.  Now it works amazing! But seriously we never play without it. Join the discord for an even better experience.

### 4/5 — Great for playing game

*2024-04-01*

Very much enjoy this when playing. I’ve noticed in the newest version we have been having connection issues and when typing notes if we type them too fast it will cause the words to either be something else or become incorrectly spelled.

### 4/5 — Really good

*2023-09-16*

This app is really very good even if it does have a few gaps: severe wounds not automatically giving bleed tokens is a shame. Not being able to set departure bonuses like bleed or extra armor in certain spots is inconvenient. It’s missing some seed patterns (Hypersight Visor and Plasma Cutter spring to mind). In general extremely useful though.

### 5/5 — This and KDM go hand and hand

*2023-09-01*

You can tell this is made by a true KDM fan.  This app tracks just about every trackable stat, inventory, or progression you can think of.  Subscribing was an absolute no-brainer for me.  Have an issue? Bring it up in discord and it will be fixed in a matter of days sometimes hours (within reason of course).  The dev is super responsive and helpful.  For me this is the app I recommend and the definitive KDM app.

### 5/5 — How were we even playing without this

*2023-07-23, version 2.23.6*

Truly the best way to experience KDM! It saves so much time with managing resources, inventory, and takes care of material management when crafting. We can never go back! 

I wish hosting worked a but better, when the phone is locked. All the pro features are absolutely worth it
