Tainted Grail Companion

The exploration journal has now been updated to 2.0 for those that got the reprinted/updated journals

I would love to be able to have the audio actually support the phone audio system / controls so I can pipe the audio to my airplay devices!

I really enjoy the app it does everything I could hope and would expect to improve QOL however, my only feedback is early on in the starting location 101 (small spoiler ahead)… the rest at home option in the app for a fully lit Menhir gives you 2 health and -2 terror while the 2.0 journal gives you 4 health and -3 terror. This makes me have to have the book and app out so that I can be sure of the values which defeats some of the point. Overall though I’m okay with doing this since it doesn’t take away from the atmosphere, voice over experience, and quick reference capabilities (after confirming) provided.

It boggles my mind that the app does not support landscape mode! That’s the normal mode on iPads when you stand them on the table. Please please implement landscape

I love the music and the narration is top notch. Really adds to the ambience. I would really appreciate landscape mode for the iPad!

It’s free, it supports all the content, it has good voice-over work and music, and it integrates well with the game (a particular diplomacy encounter in Fall of Avalon 3A is a good example) while helping to avoid spoilers. Yes the interface is a bit clunky and needing to take my phone off of silent makes no sense. But I’m highly appreciative of it and use it in every play. 4*

Can not get app to work after last app

The app is excellent with only one irritating point: it will not play audio through the device speakers if your device is muted. This behavior is inconsistent with other apps with audio in them e.g. YouTube will play audio/videos fine using device speaker if device has notification noises disabled. It is irritating to switch mute on and off you want the app to play the narration but you have turned off notification sounds during your gaming session because you don’t want distracting noises while you are trying to play a tabletop game.

Definitely helps playing solo as it keeps me from making some basic mistakes. This will be very handy for running games at cons.

Only giving it a 4/5 stars because the app doesn’t switch to landscape view, which is a real bummer for the iPad, seeing how the iPad is standing landscape from its case. Maybe there will be a landscape view in the future, which at that point I’ll switch my 4/5 stars to 5 stars. Great music. Great for its beginning stages, able to follow the game’s journal while not revealing accidental spoilers.
