User Reviews

Magic Life Counter is widely praised for its deep feature set and solid multiplayer support, with easy basic use and cross-game utility. However, users frequently cite intrusive ads, stability crashes (including after purchases), battery drain, and several UI/UX bugs that hinder smooth play. The app remains a top choice thanks to its depth and an available ad-free purchase.

Pros

Extremely feature-rich with extensive customization (life totals, energy, poison counters, planeswalker counters, commander damage, tokens) and transcripts.
Excellent for multiplayer games: supports many players by name, tracks per-player stats, and handles commander-damage tracking per commander.
Free version already offers many features; premium removes ads and supports the developer (one-time ad-free option).
Simple to use for daily play while still offering advanced features and broad board-game usefulness (e.g., D&D HP tracking).
Broad use beyond Magic: useful for other board games and general counter/HP tracking.

Cons

Ads are intrusive and numerous (bottom banners and full-screen ads) and the experience can degrade with some ad-related crashes.
Stability issues and crashes: reports of the app crashing on launch, after upgrades/purchases, or during use.
Notable battery drain: users report the app consumes significant power.
UX/UI/interaction glitches: navigation can be non-intuitive, scrolling issues with many players, and swipe-bar controls can become hard to use.

Recent reviews

There's no app with this amount of features. There's no ads anymore, and it lets you customize literally everything you can think of, like time, who the first player will be, starting life total; energy, poison, and planeswalker counters, commander damage. Everything you could ever need. And that's the free version. I recommend the premium version so you can support the creator of this app.

This is a great app, super useful and easy to use. Any feature I want in a life counter app this one has. I use this to track my Parties HP in Dungeons and Dragons, and has been the best way to track every bodies HP including the monsters I am running. This review is only 2 stars because I bought the full version for $10. For that price it shouldn’t have any of the bugs I am experiencing. First off, it’s always in Dark Mode. When I close the app and open it again it goes to Light Mode for a minute, then right back to Dark. Even if Dark Mode isn’t turned on. This isn’t a constant thing either, sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn’t. Second, whenever I open a saved Game Profile, it doesn’t show the Game Profile I clicked on. It shows the previous one until I close the app and open it again. Then the Game Profile I wanted to open will show up. Third, sometimes the numbers and icons on the app will be super small for no reason. Again I have to close and open the app to fix it. Fourth, it won’t scroll right away. If I give it a minute or close/open the app it fixes it. All these issues happen if I open the app by itself, or if I am using the app split screen on my iPad. Lastly I have all these issues on my phone as well. None of these issues make the app crash, but if you’re gonna charge $10 for the full version, it shouldn’t be having these problems. Developers please fix this, thank you.

Still the most full-featured app of its kind, with features few if any others have, like tracking Commander damage properly per-commander, and tracking of essentially any arbitrary counter or token. Its UX is still not the most intuitive though, like configuring and managing game profiles and named players. During gameplay the design works fairly well. The “Hide bars on swipe” option is broken for me—it seems impossible to bring toolbars back after swiping them away, except to force-quit the app which loses the current game history. I would raise my rating if this is fixed, because it is potentially a nice feature for reducing interface clutter when sharing control of one device during play. It would also be nice to have more pleasing visualization for dice rolls, that some alternative apps do better.
