MTG Life Counter App: Lotus

Fixed a bug where the card search field could slip behind the keyboard, so you couldn't see what you were typing. Text inputs now stay above the keyboard. Thanks for playing with Lotus!

Fixed a bug from the last update where assigning commander damage didn't lower a player's life total until you changed their life again. Commander damage now drops the life total right away. You can also choose how the main-screen clock shows the time — there's a new Use 24-Hour Time switch under Show Current Time. Thanks for playing with Lotus!

You can now name your players. Set a name from a player card's menu and it shows right on the card. As you type, quick-pick chips suggest names you've used before, so you rarely have to type the same one twice. Names also appear in your game history, and you can edit or delete any of them from the full names list. There's a setting to turn card names on or off. You can also pin the dice to your main screen. Pin a single die — or the whole dice roller — to one of the main-screen spots, so it's always one tap away. Rolling it there plays the same animation as the full dice overlay.

Player profiles got a big rework. They live in a proper gallery now — give each one a name, mark favorites to keep them at the top, and search through them once you’ve saved a few. Every profile has its own menu to rename, duplicate, share, or delete it. You can also set a counter to an exact value: tap the middle of its +/− controls to open a keypad and type the number, the same way you already can for life totals. Two-player games have a new layout option too. With Facing Sides, both life totals turn sideways to face the same edge of the screen — so you can lay the phone flat between you and your opponent and you both read it the right way up. And like the commander and victory messages, you can now edit the poison defeat messages. Write your own send-off for that tenth poison counter. Under the hood, profiles are now stored more safely, so they won’t get dropped if your device’s storage fills up. Thanks for playing with Lotus!

This update fixes a bug where the screen could turn off during games. The issue started with the update from December 16 and has been affecting some players for almost two weeks. We’re really sorry for the frustration this caused. We had already tried fixing it earlier, but it turns out the problem was deeper than we thought. It should now be fully resolved. Huge thanks to everyone who reported the issue and shared details. If you still notice the screen going to sleep, please let us know. Thanks for playing with Lotus!
