This is easily the most beautifully designed life counter on the App Store. I REALLY want to love it but there are a few things which drive me crazy.
1. Easily my biggest complaint is this: when you begin a game, the top counter is upside down. This is presumably designed to allow your opponent to also use this app to keep track of their life total along with you. I can think of exactly zero times an opponent would have been all for this arrangement. Plus I dont want to have random strangers at a prerelease all up on my phone. I dont be knowin them like that. Please make both counters default in the upright position and make it an OPTION to flip player 2 around to share. Which brings me to my next complaint:
2. When you enter the names of the players and start a new game, you are always defaulted player 2. Since when is the user player 2? Thats kinda odd. I like to think Im the king of my domain not some player 2 peasant.
3. Its great I can customize the appearance to reflect what colors I and my opponents are playing. Please support more than 2 color combinations.
4. The swipe function is neat but moves the life counter WAY too fast. Ive gone from 13 to 50 by barely flicking it. Theres rarely that dramatic of a life total swing in magic so I think its safe to slow this down a bit.
5. It would be great (but not necessary) if the log feature recorded the changes in life totals as well.
Overall well worth a buck. With some minor quality of life improvements could be incredible.
