A Great Initiative Tracker
Bronco_6
So simple and elegant. Easy and intuitive to use with,Amy good features for each player and NPC's. I would recommend this to any of my Game mastering friend that want to track the combat initiative in the games they are running. I use it to track "Tales of Blades and Heroes" and it functions great. Bronco_6
Definitely recommend

I highly recommend this app. I would have given it five stars but there are a couple of features I would like improved. I'll get to those after I talk about what's sweet. The drag and drop function of the initiative tracker is super and the ability to set conditions and track hit points is fantastic. You can keep track of multiple campaigns and player characters and create initiative counts for numerous creatures and NPCs. Also love that when a monster is killed and you set their condition as "dead", their marker disappears. I should also mention that the app is very user friendly and easy to pick up. The only hang up is that you need to go into your settings app to define names for PCs and your campaign. I'd rather do everything inside the app itself. I would also like to be able to keep the PCs hit-points on their marker without losing that info each time I restart. Being able to store HP and defenses info for each PC on their individual marker would improve the app greatly. The initiative count tops off at 25+ which is limiting. I'd like to have a scrolling function of view the page vertically to be able to get more initiative counts in. Previously, I was using Game Mastery's outstanding initiative tracker but this saves the ink in my dry erase markers for drawing on maps. If you are running Pathfinder I'd score this app immediately! That being said, some of the functions wouldn't cross over into other editions but you could certainly use the most basic function of this app for any game that needs to keep track of initiative.
Great app

Well worth the price for a nice and easy to use app. Love the automated tracking of rounds and conditons. Minor issue with some of the text --would have liked some notation a bit bigger so it is easier to read at a quick glance. Aside from that, works like a charm.
Best of the Batch

Of all the initiative tracking apps I've tried so far (just about all of them), Initiative Board has been the best. It's pretty user friendly and has some neat widgets that made initiative tracking simple. There is room for improvement, but it seems like an app that is continuing to be developed, so I look forward to where they'll be taking it. If you play RPGs like D&D and Pathfinder, this is a darned useful app and I recommend it.
Great app

If you are a nerd, and are looking for a good initiative app, then this is certainly worth the money.

Awesome developer!

This app is great and is very useful. I had a few suggestions so I sent the developer an email, he answered immediately and was very nice, accepted my suggestions and will implement them. I am very pleased that I bought this app and supported a developer that really has his users in mind.
Ideal Initiative Counter

This app is simple enough that it's almost effortless to use, yet it has enough nice features to make it a distinct improvement over pen and paper, or even a magnetic board. I highly recommend this app to any GM out there.
Game accelerator!

Generally, I prefer to roll physical dice. But this app REALLY speeds up the game and keeps the initiative order dynamic. I also use it to keep track of monster HP and as a rounds counter. Excellent app, highly recommended!
