iOS Scoring App Recommendations for EDH in particular...

I have been wondering what iOS apps players are using for EDH. There are a TON out there, but very few of them are legitimately useful for EDH. I feel like I've tried just about every free and most of the paid ones.
Some of the better ones I had been using up until recently have been apps like Carbon (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/carbon-mtg-utility/id1209153225) and Mutility (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mutility-life-counter-for-mtg/id741336884), but they still seem to be lacking in some way or another, especially where EDH is concerned.
Most recently, I've latched on to using Magical (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/magical-scoring-for-mtg/id1556520033) which actually looks like it hasn't been out that long. For EDH (especially larger games of 4+ people), it's easily been the best of the 30 or so apps I have tried.
What are others using?
Thanks for the feedback. I wanted to like Companion so bad (especially that Wizards made it). It looks pretty and has some of the extra counters that are missing from others (something Magical lacks in particular). But it's just so cumbersome to use in comparison to others.
I don't mind spending a couple of $ on an app if it's truly useful. Probably the biggest thing missing from Magical are things like Experience counters and other counters (which Companion has), but we use them so infrequently in our playgroup, I feel like I don't miss them much...or at least not enough to make me want to use Companion at least.

I am using Companion by Wizards of the Coast. It is free.
