Frosthaven: Official Companion

boneshaper cant make summons anymore and the add monster button doesn’t work. very annoying

It’s getting better each update but it still has poor UX. Adjusting health is tedious and has no indication of responsiveness. Still wish you could put character name in. Lots of little things like normal enemy add button is left of elites, when it makes more sense to be on right and therefore indicative of how it’s used after adding. No drag to adjust health. Having to choose level before seeing characters is annoying.

Handles 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.

Lucky duck obviously don’t care about their rep or are not in the app dev business.. were they created just to build this app? UX clumsy; zero sound; unpolished in every way; it genuinely feels like I have installed a scam app as the core of this app stinks. Embarrassing. I wouldn’t fancy my chances of getting dev work after being associated with this project.

Connection room codes are correct but we get “wrong code” error messages. Host also either gets a room connection code or gets stuck on “loading” and can’t create a room for other players to join. Wait for an update or improvement. There’s so many functionality problems and issues. As well as general annoyances the free apps are better. Don’t pay $14 for this.

Hoping these issues can be addressed easily enough with updates. 1. The app is forced into portrait mode, and won’t even rotate 180 degrees. This means I can’t charge my tablet while running the app if I want to have the app stood up and visible. Ideally, having the app able to run landscape would be best. For an app that needs to run for entire sessions, charging is important. 2. Effects that last ‘until the end of your next turn’ should be automatically removed, rather than require the user to physically remove them 3. Conditions that have an effect should be auto applied, such as wound and regenerate 4. The option to apply monster numbers, rather than a random allocation. 5. There is no way to signify which character has completed their turn in a round. You should be able to click on a player to show that they have gone. Just like flipping their name on the initiative order using the physical components. These are all things that have been/ are included in free apps, so I don’t think it is too much to ask. I also have one request which is a hope more than a likelihood: Sync with Forteller to have thematic commentary included in the app. Some sort of verification process to make sure the user owns the content on Forteller, then having it play when you click through the sections. Lucky duck do awesome stuff, so I would expect this product to be at a better standard than it currently is.

The board game is already $200-250 and then the app is another $8 on top of that I really thought it would have better polish. At first I was pretty happy with it: whenever you open any door automatically having the section book entry populate the correct enemy values was pretty nice. Having it auto regenerate and wound is handy. Populating the loot deck is sweet. It doesn’t keep track of any campaign info which is… whatever. Maybe the unofficial Kingdom Death app which will track how many nose hairs you have spoiled me on that front. But it really lacks some functionality in the one area it’s supposed to be helpful for. If you add any status effects to someone who has already gone earlier in the round it will automatically strip them when any turn passes. Especially annoying when that effect is Bane and then you hit undo and it automatically gives them 10 health back even if they had less than 10 to begin with so you don’t know what their health is anymore. It will regenerate people over their max health. It automatically removes bane poison and wound when you heal but for some reason does not remove brittle. Etc.

Prism and angry face cant summon at all.

Have an iPhone and this app is constantly broken. As one thing gets fixed other things are broken. Worked ok but then I couldn’t add NPCs or modify health. Now I can do that but my monster modifier deck won’t work. How do you release a patch and not regression test at least the major capabilities of your app. Very sorry I paid for this as it has caused as many headaches as it has helped streamline the game

Thanks for fixing bugs
