### 3/5 — Great App, but we shouldn’t have to ask for updates...

*2020-06-17, version 1.15*

This app is terrific as a support for the game. No need for the scoring tokens, no need to debate on who gets what, etc. it’s everything a companion app should do. 

However, it has a LONG history of taking years to update and include new expansions. For a lot of games, this wouldn’t be such a huge deal, but the constant flow of expansions and new choices is a big part of what makes SMASH UP so much fun. And when this app doesn’t include the new expansions we just bought, then the app becomes pretty useless to me.

Part of why I give this 3 stars is because I was prepared to give the benefit of the doubt on this issue until I saw that the majority of these reviews (some as old as six years!) make some note of slow updates. So this is a known issue that they have simply made little to no effort to correct. 

For a paid app designed to support an ever growing game, it’s not unreasonable to expect better. It’s a real bummer, because the app itself is pretty much perfect.

### 4/5 — That 70’s Expansion?

*2018-05-09, version 1.15*

This app makes keeping score, assigning random factions and even helping new players pick factions. I use it every time I play. It’s past time to update the newest expansion though.

### 4/5 — Great app...

*2018-05-06, version 1.15*

...I just wish there wouldn’t be such a lag between expansion release dates and adding them to the available factions in the app. That said, I would be lost without it. The faction pairings are perfect, without making a group underpowered or overpowered. Great balance selection.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2017-01-18, version 1.14*

A wonderful app.  It does what it says it does.  It would be great to be able to add more than 4 players, and it lacks the Cease and Desist expansion.  Add those features, and it would be a five star app and a must have for all Smashup players.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2017-01-10, version 1.14*

This is an amazing app for smash up I hope they update with the new set that came out last month

### 3/5 — Missing expansion

*2017-01-09, version 1.14*

As of January 9, 2017, this app does not include the factions from the Cease and Desist expansion that came out back around September 2016.  The app is great other than that.

### 2/5 — An basis, basic app

*2016-06-17, version 1.12*

I agree with the other review.  No undo feature exists.  If you want to buy the game, this is not it.  This simply is a very basic method to keep score.  I wish I never wasted my money on it.  I have applications on my iPhone that will do the same thing at no additional cost.

### 4/5 — Solid App, Needs new update!

*2015-10-01, version 1.11*

The app itself is helpful for any serious smash up player. It makes other randomizer options look a lot less fun.  PLEASE update the app to include the new Munchkin release. The game is out and it would be nice to have all factions available to "smash-up". Hopefully in the near future an actual Smash up iOS game will appear.

### 4/5 — Please add munchkin decks

*2015-09-20, version 1.11*

Great app, use it often, just need the munchkin deck support

### 4/5 — Less Base Shuffling = Thanks

*2015-08-16, version 1.11*

Great app.  It's nice to have a shuffler, and I like the design.  A few quirks keep it from being a 5-star.
1. Inability to remove players
2. ShapeShifter logo is the random logo.  They have a test-tube logo.

Some suggestions to make this better:
1. Ability to do other shuffling.  We usually play you get dealt four random decks and have to choose two.
2.  Ability to add more than four players.

Some suggestions to make this the best Smash Up app that I would pay $5 for:
1. Have base counters as another portion of app (way more valuable than score counters).  This would be extra useful if it kept track of the total power of each player on a base as well as the total power.
2. Add a paragraph about each deck and the gist of what it does, so new players could choose best combos.
