## Review summary

Reviewers praise Lifetap as a free, ad-free MTG life counter with a clean UI and strong customization, including backgrounds and saved player profiles. It offers a robust feature set (life totals, poison counters, commander damage, floating mana) and supports Planechase and Archenemy, plus frequent updates. The main drawbacks are that the starting player is always random (no manual setting) and there’s demand for offline Planechase/Archenemy access and clearer on-card counter displays.

### Pros

- Free to use with no ads; lightweight and accessible
- Easy-to-use, simple UI with a clean design
- Highly customizable: backgrounds, player profiles, and commander options
- Feature-rich for MTG: life totals, poison counters, commander damage, floating mana; supports Planechase and Archenemy
- Regular updates and responsive developers

### Cons

- Starting player cannot be manually set; startup is randomized by default
- Lack of offline access for Planechase/Archenemy content
