## Review summary

Users praise Tools For MTG for its glossary and solid rules coverage, and its life counter. However, stability problems (crashes around Rules) and missing/multi-player health features, along with limited navigation within glossary/rules, are the most consistent downsides across reviews.

### Pros

- Glossary included and helpful for MTG terms.
- Strong coverage of rules and rulings, aiding disputes and learning.
- Health counter feature exists for life tracking.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes, especially when accessing the Rules section.
- Glossary and rules entries lack internal navigation (no links; no numbering) making it hard to jump between items.
- Missing multi-player health tracking features (no countdown timer; difficulty adding multiple players).
