X-haven Assistant 9+

Perfect app

Currently, tapping on “add scenario” or “add section” darkens the screen as if waiting for a menu to pop up, but one never does. All I can do is tap near the top left to make the darkening go away. It’s still possible to set the scenario manually by adding monsters, but now we have the tables from scenario 15 jotl just hanging out with us XD This is on a 5th gen iPad.

Update: fixed by uninstall and reinstall. Haven’t tried a full scenario since then, but expecting that’s it’s great.

This app automates away so much of the busywork, and helps clear out a lot of room on our small table. Love it!

Love the simplicity

This app makes determining initiative order, monster HP, etc., much easier to ascertain. Combat is probably the fiddliest part of playing Gloomhaven, so streamlining it really helps make the game more enjoyable. Further, the ability to share the info with others on the same local server is super convenient so we're not all asking each other for the info we can all see.

My one quibble is that some important icons, like monster attack cards and all the things associated with the scenario level, are super small. This is true even on the iPad version. My husband who has bad vision is constantly complaining about it and it detracts from the experience for him.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feedback! There are scaling options available from the settings menu. Changing the bottom bar scaling will affect also the modifier cards. Happy Glooming!

Thankful

I am thankful that this app has risen to fill the void left when the previous developer stopped supporting their companion app. I am still playing a backlog of games, and appreciate being able to automate many of the fidly tracking features in Gloomhave, Jaws of the Lion, and eventually Frosthaven when I get there. Works exactly as expected and supports our occasional desire to play with more than recommended number of players.
