About this app

CounterSpell is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy. Not approved/endorsed by Wizards. Portions of the materials used are property of Wizards of the Coast. ©Wizards of the Coast LLC.

CounterSpell is an open source project that aims to give any Magic: The Gathering player the best possible life tracking app, with a special focus on EDH.

It features:
- Life, Commander Damage, Commander Casts, Poison Counters, Experience Counters, Storm Count, Total Man Tracker, City's Blessing, Monarch, and other counters to keep track of anything you could possibly need.

- Scroll Interaction: You can swipe over a player's name to increment or decrement their life or any other counter.

- Great battery life: the app activity is streamlined and consists in the bare minimum computational effort to make it work. It does just what you ask it to do, no background stuff (I'd be too lazy to code such things anyway!), so you can keep your phone on all night and play commander! (obviously, your screen being on is what drains your battery the most, so lower your brightness or use the dark theme if your battery is already running low).

- High Precision: You can see how much damage you're dealing while you swipe, along with the resulting life that the current amount of damage would produce and when you're sure about what you're doing, simply release the swipe for a moment to make CounterSpell confirm the edit.

- Multiple Players Damage: You can select any number of players before starting to scroll to modify their life totals, so your Pestilence friend won't drive you insane anymore.

- Commander Damage: You can easily keep track of the damage made by any player's commander to any other player (or even himself, if when needed). You can also set lifelink and infect for a specific commander to automatically handle implicit the results of commander damage.

- Complete, accurate and easy-to-read History: You can see precisely when any of the edits were made, what type of damage and how much damage was dealt.

- Ability to undo any mistake: If the undo and redo button are not enough, you can delete a single interaction made any time in the past without affecting any subsequent action.

- Playgroup management: CounterSpell saves the names of your friends, so you can quickly change playgroup at any time.

- Partner Commander Damage: You can easily split a player's commander in two partners and keep track of his two commanders damages and casts separately.

- Manual interaction: You can manually set a given number of life for a player, in that remote case you need to gain exactly 273 life and you don't want to scroll twenty times to achieve that.

Amazing app with a lot of potential, I have already seen a lot of improvement in recent updates and I really think that this could be the end all be all for life counters. I do think that it would be dope to be able to change the font of that names or at least the font size/ colors because people in my play group have complained that it's hard to read.

Thank you! I really appreciate constructive feedback and ideas, I'll look into making a font size slider for the player tiles :) If you have any other ideas, just remember that the app has a contacts sections with other ways to get faster and more in-depth communication, via e-mail or a Telegram group with other users and me :D

Best simple app after you learn the swipe over tapping philosophy. Does any counter you could want. Saves more taps and time than any other app. Since the rework recently the app is even better. Give this app some time with the learning curve and the features it has over other apps is leaps and bounds. I love that its open source but honestly I can't think of anything to add/contribute that isn't completely picky and my own opinion like making the checkbox for minus/add damage a toggle switch instead for mass area damage just to save me 2-3 seconds each initial mass damage scenario.

Hi! Thanks for this review :) in landscape mode the history screen is disabled because I couldn't think of a way to display it when the playgroup is displayed as a grid. In portrait mode the group is a column so the history becomes a grid (a row of columns) but you can't add a third dimension to the grid so I disabled the history in landscape mode

Simply Perfect. This is the first app to finally make me stop using dice, counters and notepads. The only thing I would like added is the ability to track mana by color. I do a lot of big plays with things like Mana Reflection and crazy ramping, and have to use different colored roll down dice or a notepad to keep track of it. If you put that functionality into this app I would never need to bring anything other than my phone and cards to game night. Thank you so much!

I thought about that a lot in the past months but I fear that adding a per-color mana count that can be used fluently enough to follow real time plays would add too much complexity to the app. I would probably make a separate app just for that (and call it Mana Crypt :D) in the future. Btw thanks for your kind words!
