Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This app is a must have and really speeds up gameplay. After using it for one scenario we didnt even hesitate to pay the 99cents it cost to unlock the advanced classes. One minor request however. It would be nice to have the option to use the official Frosthaven Crossover Character Sheets for the Jaws of the Lion characters as the devs added some new perks to help balance them for Frosthaven.
It does exactly what we wanted it to do, providing us a digital deck for all Haven games and it has NO intrusive ads from what Ive seen. 10/10.
Removes the clutter of physical modifier cards and makes setup/cleanup even faster. Switching between characters for solo play is also easy. Only nitpick is that the Gloomhaven/JoTL perks from the new character sheets haven't been fully updated for Frosthaven quite yet.
Latest version now works great for our FH Blinkblade character. – Easy to add and update attack deck perks. – Handles Blesses and Curses during the scenario, and it's fast to reset your deck for the next scenario. – Reshuffle reminder is very handy. – Tracks your non-deck perks too.
Really saves the hassle of having to have any cards out. We just use our phone. Great for solo you can switch between players with a swipe.
It works really well, love using it over the normal cards since it makes reshuffling fast and easy. Edit: Developer actually listened to and put our advice to good use to fix a small issue, just earned that extra star from us.
We love this app, makes it easy to use multiple characters. We just really wish there was a way to track statuses, HP, and exp as well.
We enjoy this app and will keep using it but we really need it to rotate with our iPad. We dont even need landscape, just to be able to flip upside down so we have access to the home button when its in a stand.
Jaws of the lion update possible? Otherwise amazing app! Would be nice to have 2 extra buttons, advantage and disadvantage draw. This would draw the 2 cards and tell you what to apply. Sure its a tiny quality of life change so not critical. :).
It has to be a hard no. We think most iPad users are probably using Gloomhaven Helper and this app would have been a welcome addition but not if it only runs in Portrait mode.
This is the only really good combat deck substitute out there.
This is a great, easy-to-use app to replace the attack modifier deck. We didnt even think we needed a replacement, but this app saves so much shuffling time.
