Having similar issue with app on ipad 2. App loads then crashes after music starts. Newest OS and restarts. Love the app but needs resolution.
Major Bug for External Displays
Annoyed8701
I love this app and use it for my game night by hooking it up to an old LCD monitor I have lying on my table. We use the miniatures right on top. The new update has a great new skin, but it completely lost the rotate display ability on the iPhone 5. This renders my app useless with my monitor because it won't go to landscape mode. Please fix this as soon as possible!
Great App, but overpriced IAP...

I really find this app easy to use and fast on map making however I feel that charging people $0.99 for five extra tiles is asking a bit much since the app it's self was $30.00 and if I were to buy all the extra tiles, it would run me another $10.00 or so... Either way, one suggestion I do have is a clean up of auto sorting of the tiles... It's to messy coming from the first Battle Map.
Not enough value for the price

It was a tough decision to spend $30 on an app. I can't give you an unequivocal yea or nea vote, but a few key points to consider. The app mostly works as promised. Most notably, the dual monitor view using AirPlay is great. Landscapes and icons are nice, and iCloud works well, even prompting me to reconcile conflicting versions of maps across my iPad and iPhone. I am going to use it for the next few sessions. That said, here is what doesn't work so great... 1. Way too few free icons. You can mitigate by importing from various free sets... Just google for them. However, your imported icons don't sync across devices so you may want to import on each if building on multiple. 2. Line of sight isn't great. There are lots of leaks revealing things prematurely. Doors are especially quirky. I found that placing them in the middle of a square is your best bet. 3. Lighting effects are broken. I can see a campfire in a room not yet explored. 4. Did I mention that there are way too few free icons? Insulting to then charge me for small additional packs. 5. Finally, groups would each have to buy their own copy for a game. I guess my group will be sticking with the airplay approach. Ending on a positive, the developers seem very responsive to FB comments and other feedback.
Fix the problems of the old ver before adding new stuff.

Ok I am pretty unimpressed with this app now. I had high hopes in a newer version, and none of the things, that were wrong with the first one, never got fixed in the second. The only new thing about this version is you can buy way overpriced tokens, and very few I might add like 10 tokens for 2 dollars, and a online connection. I have not tested the online play yet, but I would have been happy if the problems in the last one were fixed. The one thing that they did right was being able to export you maps and not force you to keep the tokens in custom area. Problem 1: Custom imports Yeah you can import custom tokens but it is very unorganized. You can not tag your custom tokens. Problem 2: No tile import function. Problem 3: LOS is still terrible. I can see through doors at the right angle. I made a suggestion to "allow triggers to rooms that when triggered (like players move across a certain tile) allow a predefined line of site of the room. That would fix a lot of problems" Problem 4: Paying an arm and a leg for tiles and symbols. $2.00 for 10 TOKENS? I could possibly see myself paying $2.00 for like 50. I have said this all of problems 1-3 before in the last review but since nothing was done to correct this problem I am giving a lower rating. This app has great potential. Don't ruin it by missing key things that need to be fixed.
Don't buy

I was so excited to play this app for a year now. Once I finally bought it I was jumping for joy. Until I tried to open it, it crashes and your not able to play the game. Plz fix :(
Screen goes black

Just bought BM 2 (not as an upgrade). It loads into a black screen every time on my iPod touch 4. Reinstalling doesn't help. I have 15 GB of memory. Why doesn't this work?
Perfect for our group!

This is an amazing app. It works fine on my iPad 1. Works perfectly for our Shadowun group here in Nashville. The ability to account for LOS and a number of character attributes makes the table experience excellent. I would like to see larger, and more integrated map levels in the future, but this is a must buy for a GM with a tablet.
