Saving and loading monsters/players/npcs doesnt work well. The labels are nearly impossible to read in the load menu and i had a real hard time selecting a character or monster to load. Without that functionality...the app isnt worth it.

X70%
by X####:

Only buttons on screen are "next" & "reset." Cannot add creatures. No main menu.

A70%
by A####:

It works, though it could use a dice roller for attacks and damage.

Y70%
by Y####:

I can't access the add creature or effect menus.

Doesn't look right on my tablet. Edges cut off of text and so forth.

I have limited phone space n massive sd card space I like the app but I don't need clutter on main phone

D70%
by D####:

I use this with my group all the time, it is super convinient and easy

G70%
by G####:

I couldn't even figure out how to bring up the menu. I tried tapping, scrolling, swiping, the works. It wouldn't let me load anything but the sample data, and it wouldn't even let me change the heading on those. Renaming did nothing. The only reason this got one star is because I can't give it zero.

M70%
by M####:

Sucks. Confusing interface and no thought put in to the design.

L70%
by L####:

Nice work. But is there anyway you can add a counter to the heal/damage screen. Constantly rotating my keyboard to numbers a pain. -Droid X

X70%
by X####:

Very nice start. Visually very plain. Be great with some polish and sprucing up.

X70%
by X####:

Glitchy, but nice when it's working.

X70%
by X####:

It needs import/export so that I can import NPCs and PCs I've kept in, e.g. Dropbox.

X70%
by X####:

Good idea, slow in input. And why does this need to know about my phone calls??? Uninstall.

G70%
by G####:

Beats the note card method of initiative tracking!

C70%
by C####:

Does not install

O70%
by O####:

Ok. Should re-roll initiative on combat reset. And configurable time per round would be great.

T70%
by T####:

Creatures don't always remove when killed, at -1 hp doesn't automatically drain, would be cool if there was a database of creatures

T70%
by T####:

doesn't scale to tablets at all

F70%
by F####:

Erases all data when you leave the app for any reason. Other than that, it tracks everything well.

N70%
by N####:

It's be nice to be able to go forwards out backwards. Also, creature statuses would be great. allowing decimals would allow me to squeeze stuff in.

N70%
by N####:

Sure it doesn't have any bells and whistles but it doesn't need it. I have save all the pcs from my play group and some common enemies I like. You can load all of these with just a few clicks. Yeah you have to tap each one and edit the initiative each new encounter, but it still beats pen and paper. It could benefit from an in app dice roll for initiative though.

N70%
by N####:

Seems like it has huge potential but it just doesn't cut it. HTC View (7" tablet) and the app loads in a small phone sized window centered in my screen. No good, looking forward to an update to support my screen size.

V70%
by V####:

It calls itself an initiative tracker. I think it's certainly better than that. It even factors in the time passed which is a nice edition. I plan to use this for every game saving on paper and ink/lead.

N70%
by N####:

Needs list sorting option, so you can more easily see initiative order.

N70%
by N####:

Would be immensely more useful if it would actually save everything I put in. Once the program is exited it resets to the default stat blocks.

N70%
by N####:

Saving and loading monsters/players/npcs doesnt work well. The labels are nearly impossible to read in the load menu and i had a real hard time selecting a character or monster to load. Without that functionality...the app isnt worth it.

N70%
by N####:

Needs Edit to change saved player/creature details without creating another entry or moving it down the order. Also screen goes black when scrolling.

M70%
by M####:

Takes too long to set up when playing, also needs a way to sort list, integrated dice rolling wouldn't hurt either

V70%
by V####:

I can't figure this out. What's the point of this app if you cant save or plan ahead.

N70%
by N####:

I have limited phone space n massive sd card space I like the app but I don't need clutter on main phone

R70%
by R####:

Its total crap, I don't want to manually impute everything for hours, and the effect doesn't go away after its rounds is up.

N70%
by N####:

I had to spend some time on it figuring out, its key to plan as much ahead as possible. It doesn't look the best on a tablet, but it works. I've got a few suggestiosn for the app, but its pretty decent and works great.

C70%
by C####:

Good start takes a long time to set up, editing creates a new entry. fixing these would be nice.

N70%
by N####:

Need max hp/subdual and init bonus fields. Keeps crashing with a java pointer error

N70%
by N####:

It seems like it could be great but I couldn't figure out how to save my creatures and that isn't covered in the help section.

N70%
by N####:

Broken, useless, a ripoff even if it is free. If its even possible to use it for its intended purpose I can't for the life of me figure it out.

C70%
by C####:

Needs to have digit keyboard for numbers, and accept decimal initiatives. Great concept bad execution.
