Ratings and reviews

Perfect app for Commander! Tracks life, poison, Commander tax (normal and partner), Commander damage, experience, City's Blessing, Monarch, and Mana pools. The level of customization is great, and the interface might look a bit busy, but it's really handy to have all the trackers at your fingertips. I have the Yawgmoth theme, and as a Black mage, I couldn't be happier!

I've been using this life counter for several years now, and I've never found another that I like better. Would definitely recommend. The only thing I'd like to see addressed, and the only thing holding this app back from 5 stars, is the commander damage screen. I think it'd benefit from having the axes labeled. I can't count the number of times I've gone to tick up commander damage after I've attacked, and back out to find I've subtracted it from my own life total and having to go fix it.

Overall a top tier life counter for Magic; whether playing Commander, Archenemy or any other constructed format. Only issues for me were just getting used to controls, but I learned quickly and it was never enough to tarnish the experience. Personalization is very present: I love having different presets available or being able to quickly swap colors. This app has a lot of versatility and boasts a clean design that is very readable on the table, and I cannot recommend it enough.
