Don't know if this was asked before, but I used the life counter in a iPad connected to a data show projecting on a wall and connected by Bluetooth with a iPhone to send updates to the big screen. On that moment, it was clear that the life counter could take a few features more:

- quicker sync of players names (takes about 5 mins to sync);
- when a slide left move is done on iphone, (to register damage on a player that is not the first or the second) the iPad should do the same;
- bigger life numbers on iPad, to use more the device screen (seems a bit empty when projected)

Interesting. I, too, know people want to project this part of the app too at my LGS. I'm not sure if it's possible for Piotr to implement these projector-specific things, but it would be a nice aesthetic boost.

I like the idea of this life counter, but I like the format of the App "Magic Life Counter" a little more. It's nice and easy to use, this one just seems like a hassle between swiping pages and stuff, if you could change it to show more than 2 players at a time it would make it 10x better

I agree that it would be sweet if there was more than 2 life totals on a page. I play with 3 to 4 people and I don't want to be moving pages a lot. I do like magics little helper as a life counter. If imtg could use the full screen of the ipad I wouldn't need another life app!

Bigger wheels on iPad will be included in the next version.

Thanks! The scaled screen looks good to eyes, but it became a bit laggy. Another improvement we see is to put the time counter on multiplayer mode on life counter.
