Excellent Companion App for Spirit Island

This is an excellent tracker app for card plays, energy, and elements! Since downloading, I’ve used it alongside every game of Spirit Island I’ve played.

Its greatest strength is the instant in-app notifications when you’ve reached an elemental threshold for an innate power. Each spirit’s submenu includes all the information listed on the back of its physical spirit board as well as its unique rules.

The only things visually missing from the spirit submenus are the growth options, presence tracks, and specifics of each innate power. These (as well as the details of each spirit’s starting cards) might be good additions to future versions of the app, especially to consult when the physical game isn’t nearby.

When tracking multiple spirits, you have to double-tap the active spirit’s icon to cycle in order through the other tracked spirits. It would be nice if you could make another tracked spirit active just by tapping its specific image. Still, a very minor complaint compared to the app’s general ease of use!

Ultimately, this is an easy app to recommend if you play a lot of Spirit Island! I definitely recommend the extra $2 to unlock all the Jagged Earth and Promo Pack #2 spirits!

Great app for game tracking - though small issues with adversaries tracking

This app works well - I use it almost exclusively for game tracking. The other features are very well put together and I could see it being very useful for element tracking though I haven’t yet felt the need to use that in game.

The only very small issue I came across is that there is no option for level 0 of an adversary - which by the rule book is when you play without any of the levels and only with the escalation and added loss conditions on the top of the card. I’d be nice if that was distinguishable from level 1 since it does effect score and it’d be nice to see the difference between the 2.

Developer Response ,

We are so glad you are enjoying using the app! We just wanted to let you know the latest version, 2.3.3, has a fix in place for the Level 0 adversary scoring. Hope this helps!

Wonderful Resource and Reminder Tool

Spirit Island is an incredibly complex game with several bonus actions you can choose to take if you’ve met certain conditions. It’s hard enough to remember if you’re just playing solo let alone cooperative. Thankfully, this app is butter smooth and can keep track of when you’ve met criteria and alert you in a non intrusive way. I highly appreciate the interface not to mention the links to the official rules and FAQ.
