Frosthaven: Official Companion for Positive User Reviews

✓ Works well on iPad, TVWe played all weekend using the app on an iPad then cast to a TV. So we did not use sync or multiple devices. It worked great, and really only have a few issues. Overall it was a good experience - really like having the section numbers appear at the top. Summons: it’s great that the app knows which summons belong to which character. I wish they came with their stats pre-populated. We spent a lot of time adding attack, move, health values to Skeletons. Perhaps I missed something, but that was my biggest complaint. Initiative: there are boots that let a character change their initiative. Also when initiative is tied you change up who goes first. It would be nice to be able to make those changes after initiate is set. Again perhaps I missed something. Scrolling was awkward sometimes, but that was mostly to do with the touch interface. But we got the hang of it..JWCinNCVersion: 1.2.5

✓ Seems better than it used to bePeople were saying that X-haven is better, at least compared to how this used to be. I am unsure how this app used to be a year ago, however it seems significantly more polished than X-haven now with a few features that doesn’t have (ally mod decks) and a slightly cleaner ui..CereithVersion: 1.2.3

✓ IndispensableWith the update they pushed out since the last time we played Frosthaven, this app has become a perfect companion to the game. Couldnt imagine playing without it.Drewnyc81Version: 1.2.5

✓ Solid but it needs some small improvementsNamely the armor numbers being not indicated. I still would recommend it if you want to reduce frosthaven overhead..OlivierBouchardVersion: 1.1

✓ Does a lot of things rightComing from the Gloomhaven helper, this app adds a ton of small quality of life improvements. It automatically spawns monsters in new rooms, runs the loot deck, saves characters between sessions. There are a few things that would make this app perfect though. -keep a log of loot cards: Only the last 5 loot cards are visible. It would be nice to keep a log so players could collect their loot after the scenario is complete rather than pause the game to keep track of it. -add an undo feature loot and attack modifier cards: It’s easy to draw a modifier by mistake and that is permanent. While there’s a log of the last 5 cards drawn it can be annoying to try to back track. And undo function would make that easier. -apply the math from the monster ability and card draw. This might be more of an interface problem. When a card is drawn it covers the screen, obscuring the monster ability card. This requires to toggle between attack modifier draws and ability cards. Not everyone has perfect memory as to which numbers to apply. -add a restart scenario button. Currently the only way to restart a scenario is to leave it and navigate to the same scenario from the scenario list. Which is a bit tedious. -battery life improvements. For what seems to be a pretty simple database app, the battery drain seems rather extreme. My only guess is that since there is a multiplier component that there’s power draw from requesting access to wifi. This seems unnecessary if that specific feature isn’t being used by the players. -monster spawns: it would be nice for the app to auto spawn monsters in scenarios where monsters spawn every round, rather than having to do this manually..CalibrxVersion: 1.2.5

✓ Can't add monsterThe "add monster" button is unworkable. Please fix it..Arky f zVersion: 1.4

✓ Battles and nothing elseThis app is the probably the most optimized way to track battles. It’ll take care of monsters and the loot deck, as well as, track initiative order. So it gets points for decreasing setup time. It’ll mark which scenarios are completed which is also useful. That said, tracking which scenarios are completed is all it does in regards to campaign tracking. It does not track stickers, completed battle goals, or anything else. So if you bought this hoping it would save you time when switching out stuff for different play groups it will not..MyJelliesVersion: 1.3

✓ BrilliantA brilliant App that is essential for playing Frosthaven - it takes a massive load of admin away from that table so the focus can be on the game itself..Uncle DarnVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Rapidly ImprovingThe companion app really speeds up your setup and tear down time, which increases your play time. The app was very buggy at the beginning, but has been addressing issue and improving the user interface incredibly quickly. I’ve never seen an app improve at this rate. Highly recommend..MeChristyVersion: 1.2.3

✓ Useful but buggyHandles the bookkeeping well enough and the networking feature works ok. But a terrible bug causes the app to crazy loop, creating character summonses and auto playing until it hit round 30 and froze. Happened multiple times to 3 players in a single scenario so not just a one off..MilliesWinsVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Helpful, but missing some informationVery helpful with consolidating lots of info/parts into one location. There are still a few issues with the app, but they seem to be working hard on fixing them. 1. The loot deck isn’t much use as you cannot assign the loot to a character. 2There are times where the scenario starts and you add monsters after a certain amount of rounds, but you have to manually use the add monster button to add it to your available monster list. 3. There also needs to be a way to upgrade the loot deck..SniperwraitVersion: 1.1.2

✓ It’s clean easy, and gets the job doneThis app works great. I like the sync, counting rounds and handling the elements decaying, and tracking health and conditions. Awesome..DarthktVersion: 1.2.5

✓ Fixed the bugsThanks for fixing bugs.Josh HavelVersion: 1.4.3

✓ Awesome Companion AppI can’t wait to use this for our first session in a couple of weeks. This app has by far improved upon some of the annoyance the Gloomhaven app has. Not complaining, just more of a matter of preference. The mobs are added, including the amount of said mobs, based on number of players is huge. Tracking multiple parties for multiple games going on, huge! I look forward to fixing in further but for now, 5 stars well earned..SamsonSmashVersion: 1.1

✓ Almost uselessIt’s all very pretty. But you can’t name your characters and status effects need to be manually changed… For 8 dollars, you’d expect the app to know how a single round works when it comes to stun/disarm/etc… The current state of this is a little underwhelming, especially since all your friends have to pay for it too..Mr. Disappointed in YouVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Great AppThis app is great. It has all the bells and whistles that are needed and wanted to make the Frosthaven experience amazing. They just came out with an update and it looks like the connectivity issues we had are gone. That being said, a few things I think things that would help are: initiative input should have the option to be masked to other players until the draw button is pushed. (This has been fixed) The ability to randomize the number of the monsters being put on the board (the ability is here to do this but hasn’t been implemented into each scenario. It still puts out all the monsters in numeric order. ) The boss deck that was updated doesn’t have any detail on it when you click on it (like when you click on the card that was drawn by monsters). They just had an update and it messed up the enemy deck. You can no longer add or curses or bless to the enemy deck. It’s weird because it used to work just fine. I hope they fix this. The loot deck is still broken and unusable. They made it so you can see who drew the card but you can look back more than 5 cards so it really doesn’t help at all. Otherwise, Really impressed and will continue to use this app..KingRalph123Version: 1.3.1

✓ Polished but could use a couple thingsLove the look and function of this app, it does what it says on the tin and makes the game a lot faster to set up and play. Some additional features seen on the old Gloomhaven Helper would take this new app to the next level: 1) Landscape mode for tablets sitting on a rest so everyone at the table can see. Most tablet cases don’t allow the tablet to stand up in portrait orientation. 2) Would love to see the ability to touch-and-drag hero portraits to arrange them in initiative order rather than punching in the numbers for every player. 3) Touch-and-drag for quick HP adjustment on all figures would also be great..MilkDrinkerVersion: 1.0

✓ Good appGood app overall. The new keypad for initiative has the numbers in the wrong order though. Can this get fixed?.Gamer_AJ123Version: 1.3.2
