About this app

Lifetap is a clean, simple, and free life tracker for your games of Magic: The Gathering. It loads lightning fast, allows for massive 6 player games of EDH / Commander or Three-Headed Giant, and even supports Planechase & Archenemy.

Main features:
- Supports 2 to 6 players, AND includes a One-player mode that still tracks incoming commander damage and counters (Infect, Experience, etc)
- Player customization: set your player background to the art of one of Magic: The Gathering's more than 20,000 cards! Or two: partners (and backgrounds) are supported!
- Player profiles: each profile with a customized name is automatically saved along with their card art and/or color customization, letting you load your profile in a couple taps
- Planechase support: spice things up with a full suite of Planechase cards within the app
- Archenemy support: also allows for gameplay with the full set of Archenemy Schemes
- Tracks commander damage (partner commander damage included) in a unique, intuitive way!
- Also tracks Infect, Treasure tokens, Experience counters, Commander tax, Monarchy, Initiative, Energy, Day/Night, and City's Blessing
- Quickly reset games to starting life of 20, 25, 30, or 40. Optionally, let the app randomize seating for you to keep things interesting
- An optional turn timer to track how long players are taking. Includes optional countdown timer (MTGO-style) and turn time alerts
- A dice roller that can randomly pick a player, an opponent, and roll one of many dices - or flip a coin
- Mana and storm counters to help players going off keep track of floating mana and storm count
- Support for tablets
- Crash protection: unlike most life counters, game state is saved to memory, so crashes or phones rebooting won't affect the game!

Legit the best life tracker for Commander. Has all the features you could ever want like player profiles, game settings, other counters and trackers for all game mechanics and even a turn timer! This app does it all and as soon as you open it you're ready to play, no pop ups are junk ads! Seriously give the app a try, I've been using it for about a year now and I today I realized you can set the background of your profile to any card art! It does everything I could want and more!

Its great. Saving most recent user profiles, commander background for your life totals, tap and hold functions are intuitive, and options are great. Also no ads taking up screen space! The only thing I'd ask for is the app hide the home bar at the bottom unless swiped up, and when in setting menus the back button on the phone backed out of the menu, not the entire app. Its small things, otherwise its perfect.

Thank you very much for the feedback, Dustin! I'm adding full back button support on Android as you requested. You will see it live in the next version coming within the week. For the hiding of the bottom bar, it's a bit more nuanced - you can email me if you'd like to discuss further at bourkas@gmail.com

Best MTG life counter app I ever used! I've tried almost every app out there and I finally found the one. I love the ability to customize the app to show just the counters I need right on screen . Also, the ability to look up and set any card as your background makes this app so unique and not just a bland color. Tracking commander damage is so easy and intuitive. One minor suggestion is to add a way to delete some stored profiles (yes there's player profiles!) but overall this app is amazing!

Hey Khang! Thanks for your very kind words, and for the great feedback --> I've just updated the app with a way to delete a whole player profile (click the little down arrow to expand, and the button is there). Should be live in <24h. Please give it a whirl, and let me know what you think! You can also email me if needed at bourkas@gmail.com
