About this game

Frosthaven Companion is a companion application meant to lower the setup time and maintenance while playing Frosthaven. Some of its key features are:
- Create multiple parties to maintain the state of multiple campaigns at once.
- Allow for multiple devices to synchronize at the same time, allowing remote play, or everyone around the table to see all stats without sharing their device.
- Choose which scenario the group wants to play, and the application will automatically set up all the monster stats, monster ability decks, and loot deck for that scenario.
- Mark each scenario as started or completed, and track your progress.
- The application supports opening sections in a scenario. Doing so will automatically instantiate the monsters (normal & elite) in that section.
- At any point you can draw from the Monster or Ally Attack Modifier deck, or from an extra Boss deck.
- Input the initiative of your heroes and draw Monster Ability cards for each of the monsters. Heroes and enemies will automatically be sorted by initiative, and the ability cards of each monster drawn and revealed.
- Support for auto calculations of move and attack values on Monster Ability Cards.
- Maintains the hp, xp, loot, and the various conditions of each of your heroes and monsters easily.
- Create Summons from your Hero, and track their various statistics.
- Create NPCs and set their name and hp, as well as their conditions. You can also input their initiative or snooze them.
- Maintains the status of the 6 Elements.
- Stop at any point, and resume your session in the state it was when you left.
- Undo or redo any actions between each round.
- If you do not want to input player initiatives, you can disable player initiative or even hide players.
- If you do not want to play a pre-made scenario, create your own custom session by adding any monsters from the game.
- The app takes into account the majority of the scenario and sections special cards and hp for monsters.

Ratings and reviews

still missing some nice affordances from the old, fan-made app that they killed, like the ability to damage and heal by dragging left and right on monster health, but it's sloooowly coming up to parity. Networking is more stable than the old app, which is nice. I'm in the camp that considers the game almost unplayable without a companion app like this.

Mostly helpful. The app doesn't let me assign hit points to objects/npcs so I track those manually. I haven't tried the loot deck in a campaign because I heard it was buggy. I played around with it outside a campaign and it seemed to work, though it only shows the 5 most recent cards. I don't have a lot of playing space, so this app saves me a lot of time. I haven't experienced any connectivity issues that affected others.

I wouldn't mind the bugs and lack of features if this was a free app. We haven't used it for a while now so maybe some of the bugs might be gone. I still can't do something as basic as rename my character. What's worse, the freely available X-Haven assistant app is far superior than this. I got this app as soon as it came out but we didn't start playing until several months later so I couldn't get a refund. I wouldn't recommend this while there's a free app that works much better than this.
