Its responsive, has a nice visual, pops up a quick button to buy greenery and raise temp at 8, etc. I’m missing two things that some other helpers have : a « standard projects » menu to automate buying those and a « buy cards » menu to buy 1-4 cards during research phase. Thanks! ### 4/5 — I like using this, but currently broken *2024-04-27* Does nothing when I tap on Ares Expedition button. I only use this to play Ares Expedition, so it is not currently working. ## Frequently asked questions about TMHelper ### What is TMHelper?
