Arkham Horror Toolkit App Reviews

Saves a lot of time and space at the table, and the expansions are pretty cheap. More like this FFG!

FFFG please add ability to track multiple investigators!!! If to do I will buy the addons

This app is a great companion to the AH board game. Were currently using it for encounters and like the table space it saves us. The die roller is good, though our group prefers the tactile experience of real dice. One thing Ill mention is the incorrect stat groupings on Trish Scarborough. They are currently the same as the other investigators (SPEED/SNEAK, FIGHT/WILL, LORE/LUCK) instead of her unique groupings of FIGHT/SNEAK, LORE/WILL and SPEED/LUCK. That and a few bad spelling errors on the cards keep this app from truly reaching the quality level of real world FF products. With a fix youll have a perfect five star companion.

Awesome app, very pretty, just needs retina display when rolling dice! Good Job!

As an aid at the table , this is a great app. It speeds play with location decks and other world cards, a nice bonus is that only the relevant card entry is displayed. This also speeds set up and storage, particularly if using expansions. The latest revised Curse of The Dark Pharaoh and Misk. Horror expansions are among those available. This does not replace the board game, and as an iPad user it is discernible that it was designed for iPhone, but it is still pleasure to use. You can use it to manage one character as well, though unless all are using devices that is not such a big deal. However, it has flaws. It only allows reviewing the last drawn location card if another is not drawn. So if you have a character with the draw 2 encounters and choose ability or draw an encounter that gives that option, or are in Innsmouth jail, then it is not so useful. In other worlds it simply displays the draw, when at times it should automate it - such as the blank draw again results it can give or the reshuffle deck draw.

App is responsive, and detailed info is present for the cards. The only thing I really docked stars for is the price of the expansions. $2.99?? Really?

This app is great but could use an ipad version and something for the AH mansions of madness

This app has three tools that make playing the Arkham Horror board game slightly easier - a virtual character sheet, a dice roller, and location cards, all of which work poorly. Thats all - no item cards, no Ancient One cards, no monster trophy tracking. The advertised "interactive maps" are just an alternate (and impractical because of the iPhones small screen, even with Retina) menu for selecting which location card to draw. There is NO interaction between the three tools. If you draw a location card that involves a skill check, the obvious design choice would have been for the app to check the current value of the skill on your character card and then roll the appropriate number of dice. But that would have required Fantasy Flight to not be openly comptemptuous of their customers! Needless to say, the app does not let you interact with other players who are also using their own copy of the app, such as by letting you give them money. Even the individual tools are bad. The character sheet lets you adjust your stats as much as you like without any warning about exceeding your focus value. The dice roller tool is laughably terrible with inexplicably blurry non-Retina graphics, "bouncy" dice (which you have to roll individually) and a noticeable delay before successes are recognized. The location cards actually work well as a replacement for the physical cards, but there is an annoying animation played for each card drawn and you have to buy each expansions cards separately. The claim that this app is especially good for solitaire play is also ridiculous if you want to play with more than one character, because it only tracks one character at a time.

We can t choose more than one character and it s just so ridiculous. A great waste of money.

Ive been using this for years six nice we play with all the expansions and I dont have enough room for all the location decks. Ive reported several bugs to Fantasy Flight support but have never received so much as an acknowledgement. I wouldnt pick this up if youre starting now.

Not bad, but there is a problem: Some characters (Darrell Simmons, Gloria Goldberg, Jim Culver) have special abilities during encounters: draw two cards, instead of one, or additional color, during Another Worlds Encounters. The app couldnt draw cards this way, so, I have to play with real cards, when I use one of listed characters. It would be great, to add this feature! The russian localization, would be great too! ---- Неплохо, но есть проблема: Некоторые персонажи (Даррелл Симмонс, Глория Голдберг, Джим Калвер) имеют специальные возможности в фазе контакта: сдавать две карты вместо одной, или добавочный цвет, при контактах в других мирах. Приложение это не поддерживает, будет классно, если добавят. И локализация не повредит.

Allow to add only one investigator what destroy whole idea of easy party playing with app

Please, add a mythos cards, cards of encounter faraon (from curse of the dark faraon) and structure of game (upkeep etc.). Optimized on iPad and iPad mini, please. Its be a very cool, if adds a random monters cup. And add ability take two encounters cards (arkham and Other world) for fotografer and writer. Very cool toolkit.

This is an excellent game aid, and actually frees up a lot of real estate on the table by allowing me to put the location decks away for good.

Kudos to FFG for creating this, as the location/gate cards are perfect to be handled by a mobile app to free up table space and shuffling/setup time. The cards are the main event here and they are handled really well (easiest way to access them seems to be from the map), so I can overlook some small issues with the dice roller functionality, but the dice roller isnt something Id likely use in a game, anyway. Nice to have the dice, though, if needed, and the investigator tracker is a very nice addition and works well. Would love the ability to track multiple investigators for solo games. Also, clicking on the Lodge on the map should also show the Inner Sanctum encounter, which it doesnt currently do (those cards can be accessed from the card screen, though). The app is a little pricey at $12.99 total for all expansions, but the base game price of $2.99 is a good deal.

It doesnt allow for the multiple ways the expansions can be played. For example, in the Curse of the Dark Pharoh expansion, you should be able to shuffle the location cards in with the others or shuffle them and place them on top of the other cards. Would be nice to see this fixed.

This is a wonderful companion to Arkham Horror. Requested features include support for multiple investigators at once (as many of us play this way solitaire) and GOO sheets. I understand that FF doesnt want to give us so much that the board game isnt necessary, but without the monsters, that shouldnt be a fear.

You can doubletap a location on the map to draw the appropriate location card, manage your investigator, roll dice, and draw mythos and location cards as you please. And expansions can be purchased!

If you play Arkham Horror, there is no reason why you WOULDNT own this application. Even though you have to pay to use the expansion cards, this application has already saved me hours of setup and completion time. The only cards I really have to prepare now are the Mythos and Item cards. Fantastic idea and well worth every cent.

Just awesome! Its a great timesaver and cuts set up time in half. Hoping if fantasy flight will update the app to be able to toggle between investigators. (crossing fingers)
