  • Good stuff! Here is a suggestion
    I'm enjoying this game although I do suggest that more thought could be put into the abilities of the four 'races'. Each race had a fatty that costs 7 points and does something peculiar for that race. For instance, the Adorables have the Mobi while the Veggienauts have the Bramble. That is great as far as that goes, but all of the rest of the creatures from each race are exactly the same. I think the designer(s) should rework the creatures to give each race a particular strength and a hidden weakness. What ends up happening is the game gets boring pretty quickly because of the lack of diversity of creature strengths.

  • Fantastic App!!
    I use this app at least once a day! One thing I particularly like is that you can add your own metrics that you want to track. I use an Omron scale that allows me to measure body fat %, visceral fat, and skeletal muscle using electrical impedance. I log these into this app. These are much better metrics than weight or BMI. (BMI is just a simple calculation involving your weight and height... your height isn't going to change so BMI is just a proxy for weight - pretty worthless as a metric.) Weight means almost nothing. I tip the scales at 175 pounds and am 5'7" - grossly overweight by most standards and with a high BMI. However, I am very fit and am mostly muscle and bone. Three suggestions: 1.) Set the app up to be able to track blood pressure. It takes up two of the five possible user measurements to keep track of both parts of the blood pressure: systolic and diastolic. The gym I belong to requires a weekly blood pressure check. I would love to be able to log it with my other measurements. 2.) Injury workarounds: This app could be made to provide workouts that avoid a particular body part that one has injured. For instance, suppose that I have hurt my right knee but still want to work out. I could feed into the program that my right knee is out of action and to suggest a workout that would avoid doing further damage to it but give me the most comprehensive workout I could get. For another example, suppose my lower back is shot (and mine is). When I ask it to give me a whole body workout, instead of suggesting free weight squats, it might suggest a machine squat that didn't put the weight on my shoulders. It also would not suggest weighted goodmornings or seated rows. 3.) Add more user-changable metrics/measurements that can be tracked and more built-in non-muscle-size metrics. Most of the built-in measurements are just muscle size!? Muscle size has very little to do with overall health and fitness. I think this app could be tweeked to be centered more on *fitness* rather than on 'body building', which, in my humble opinion is basically worthless.

  • I want this to work
    Crashes whenever I get close to the Goblin King. I notified the designers a couple of times. Not interested in fixing it I guess. I have a new iPad and the latest software. Too bad.
