Community Insight:
All of your production at the start of the generation done in one tap! To the Developer: Id love for the Resources side of the main screen to have the + and – buttons just like Production side. It would be cool if the resource calculator screen could spend a combination of Mega Credits, Steel, and/or Titanium.
Great app, we would never play without it again.
Does this have a repo we can submit PRs to? It would be great to be able to add accumulated victory points (ie. The pets card). Also, the contrast on the numbers in the iPad version is nearly impossible to see.
Amazing app! Theres simply no other way to play this game then with it. The creator of this app must be a genius to have had such skill at perfection.
This app is the best at what it does, entirely free, zero advertisements, smooth UI, history feature. We cant even think of anything that could improve this app. The creator deserves a Nobel peace prize, because we wouldnt be surprised if this app could end war on a global scale, just simply do to its flawless and ethereal functionality and beauty. The creator is probably a god or maybe demigod, we cant say for sure though.
Ive knocked the little cubes around far too much. Glad to be able to stop using them.
Best TFM app on the App Store right now and we wouldnt play the game with out. Game mat? Garbage. This app prevents small animals and children from sabotaging a game by swiping cubes off your mat. Setup by corporation, history function and ability to backtrack, clean user interface are just a few of the reasons we will always use this app for our games. Also, iPad compatible so you can display your resources to the rest of the players. Great app.
This app is a lifesaver in terraforming Mars. We literally could not play this game without it, and with it the game is so much more fun. It also will actually shorten our games because we dont have to spend as much time counting out cubes on the cards. You will not regret getting this app.
