Pretty good, saves time

It takes a bit of time to configure, but once it is set you can really get a handle on things. I love the rounds counter for effects. Having the sheet remind you if when you abilities expire is really helpful. There are a bunch of small bugs you need to deal with, and unlike another commenter, the developers are not responsive to emails. I have submitted a number if questions and suggestions, each one ignored. I do not even know if they are getting emails. Like most apps, I expect no support. I would recommend only for GM's who want a more interactive tracker.
Super board

I have replaced my physical boards with this, best money spent on an RPG app.
Nice Initiative Tracker

Once you learn how to around in this app, it has a lot of nice features. I was looking for an Initiative tracker with some other features for a long time. This one now is my go to app for my D&D games.
Great app!

My gaming group and I really enjoy this app. Easy to use (in our opinion) and super helpful in combat.
Wonderful

Used to play D&D in the 80's as a teenager. Now getting back in it with my kids. This app helps a lot in keeping track of everyone's hit points and attacking order. You can preset monster information before game time to help speed things up.
Great help for any DM

This is a great DM tool. When I have my PCs fighting large groups of enemies, it's great to keep track of people's order. I love that I can save my future fights so I have everyone's HP and other info. The tracking of the statuses is a great feature as well. I just wish it could work in portrait mode. Even better would be if it worked with iOS multi app feature. So I can have it open as well as my notes, or Hero Lab, at the same time. Keep up the development! Best app for this hands down.
Best on the market

Hands down the best initiative tracker on the market. I love the extent of how customizable it is. A few ideas I have from running a game of D&D 4th edition... 1.) Bloodied indicators. I enjoy being able to set hit points on the fly and adjusting them depending on how much they are healed/damaged. However, I would love to see the HP number turn red once the NPC has dropped to half or less of its total beginning hit points. 2.) Top can get a little cluttered. With multiple PCs and NPCs, especially if their names are long, the top portion of the board can get cluttered as names overlap. Not sure how to clean this up. Otherwise, love it!
DMs best app

This app makes keeping track of players NPCs and creatures a breeze. I'm a hardcore old school paper and pencil DM who's found this app to be irreplaceable. Highly recommended!
