Love the app, it’s a great addition to a great game. We’ve almost completely gotten rid of the need for tokens.
Things we use tokens for are powers like Wraith’s stealth when she doesn’t take damage for a while and cards that require a certain amount of damage be done in a round. Perhaps cards like Rooftop Combat could have a counter.
Also Absolute Zero could use a Thermal Shockwave counter to count the amount of fire damage he has taken since the end of his last turn.
Any more previews of features you’re going to add?
Hmm… Absolute Zero, with Isothermic Transducer, Null Point Calibration Unit, Focused Apeture, Coolant Blast, Thermal Shockwave, and Embolden, possibly with a few outside “damage +1” buffs, against a villain (or environment) which likes to deal fire damage…
I am indeed on vacation, but I’ve found some time to do a few little things… so here’s a sneak peak!
And I’ll respond to one reviewer on the App Store – the app will indeed be updated with Infernal Relics information, ideally on the day and date of the expansion release. Possibly even once it goes to the printer, I’ll talk to Christopher when he’s back from the con =)
I downloaded the update, thank you for that, but suddenly i can’t give health back to heroes. I can subtract HP but the add buttons stopped working. Is this a problem for anyone else after they updated?
It only affects the left/right side heroes and only if they are rotated. The bottom middle hero is fine and if you use the new option to rotate to portrait, they are fine. That’s a workaround for now until I can get a fix through.
Also if you tap the + part at the very left of it, near the - part, it will work. Still a problem to fix though!
Looks like I’ll be submitting an update with custom cards and that fix soon, then.
FYI: the 1.1 update with the “+” button fix, as well as custom card support, has been submitted and should be available within a week. Thanks to Gnipp and arenson9 for some beta testing!
I haven’t actually played a game using the app yet. I wonder for those who have how easier or hard it is for everyone around the table to see and use the tablet. My guess is that this would be most useful for solo play?!
The app is great for solo and really great for groups.
I use it on the ipad and it’s big enough for everyone to take a look. Notation for who is highest and who is lowest helps also.
It isn’t any different than one person using a pen and paper to track everyone, except now anyone can add and subtract their own health on an interactive surface in the middle of the table.
It’s really nice for two player. My wife and I play together frequently. (We try to play almost every night, but our daughter is five months old and usually demands attention.)
And we just use my iPhone. I’d love to try it on an iPad…but that would require an iPad.
Still, this is a nice tool when the cats also decide that they want attention. At least two games had to be aborted when a cat dive bombed the dice and we couldn’t remember everyone’s HP.
iPhone version is great for playing with my work lunch game group. They love it too. I feel it freed them up to focus on the game more and increased their overall enjoyment of the game.
iPad version is great at home. The bigger screen goes a long way.
I have also been working on a web app for Sentinels. right now its only informational on the cards. Warning it is very ALPHA right now but feel free to see it at http://www.sentinels-hero.com . My app is more for pre-game but it is going to have rudimentary HP tracking. MigrantP’s app is very good and I hope Greater Than runs with it.
