Hi,
I would like to promote a new application designed for iPhone and iPad to manage MTG games life. The application's name is: Magic's Little Helper
It designed to manage games with up to 10 players including the following games: - 1x1 game (facing each other or the same direction to manage) - 3x3 and 5x5 Emperor games - 5 Colors Decks game - Game up to 10 players in one table. - Random selection and location or manually set
You can manage Game Time as well for full game or per player time count.
The application exists for iPhone and iPad:
- Lite Version for iPhone - You will be able to manage a full game with up to 3 players and Full Game time counter. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/magics-little-helper-lite/id424436283?mt=8&ls=1
- Pro Version for iPhone - You will be able to manage a full game with up to 10 players and both Full Game/Per Player time counters. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/magics-little-helper-lite/id424434665?mt=8&ls=1

AdiC, a few suggestions. In the screen where we can see the players and their life totals I noticed that you can touch a name and try to drag it but nothing happens.
It'd be nice to be able to pull the names to the seating location of your choosing. Basically drag and drop the names where you want them.
Also, when choosing the colors for the players it would be really nice to have more than one color, this would help in tourneys to keep track of what your playing against.
And lastly, an option to just quickly reset the life totals in a game instead of ending the current game and then starting a new one.
Ah, one other thing, I'm not aware if it was the app itself or something else, but it did appear to me that it used a lot of battery as opposed to other apps with the same functionality. Can this be improved?
Love the app, easy to use and nice to look at.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, First the drag and drop :)
The drag from one player to the other in multi players game is designed for future history and statistics features.
It designed to make a link from one player to the other and know who damaged who, currently it does not have any effect on the app.
Regarding the issue or rearranging the players and multi colors, it's on my list and will be included in future update.
The Reset life in game is a good idea, and i will think of how to best implement it.
Regarding the battery life, it's already under investigation if this is the cause of the app or just the heavy use during the game.
If you love the app, please review it and rate it 5, it will help promoting it and bringing more users, and it will cause the updates to keep coming :)
Coming update will bring:Roll a Dice (Lite + Pro)Flip a Coin (Lite + Pro)Poison counter (Pro version)
Thank you

Going to give it a shot. In the meantime, I wholeheartedly that you contact yeaGO! about collaborating with him on TappedOut mobile apps. I believe he is working on an Android app, but it would be great (for users like me) to see an iPhone app that has some TappedOut functionality. Cheers!

Looked at the pics from the store and it does look pretty, downloading light version right now to test it. One thing though since I noticed all the screenies had it, the timed match is not default right? You can play with no timer?
