VigilantForge
Very well designed and sees regular updates. Heavily recommend.
Perfect life tracker
Felic_HRZN
Does everything it needs to as a life tracker app, tracks life for players, who's going first, poison counters, commander damage, floating mana. Everything you could want. And you can save profiles for players.
Free and Great

The App for Magic
Offshoreblues
The absolute best and essentially the default. Be sure to check the ability to save and load player profiles if you play with a common group with favorite commanders.

It's just the best. Customizable, modular and easy to use. Try it.
So simple, so good

The best
Zedd45
I've used many such apps and this has the best features hands down for Commander at least.
Great Experience
NightAsian
Everything you need to control life, commander damage, and more! Love that you can make your player the commander you are using and dice rolls!
Finally

I have downloaded 5+ life counter apps for Commander. I don't know why anyone uses anything but this. So simple, easy to use, and does exactly what you need it to. So easy to track commander damage. Thank you!
Best Life Total Tracker
Sol Ereptor
Wonderful app. Never glitches. Easy to use. If you play Magic, this is the life tracker you need.
THE BEST
ForestDan
If you're using another app you're either being PAID to do it or you just haven't found out about this app yet. Like the title says, IT'S. THE. BEST!
You won't want another
VulpineUK
This app is functional, stable, and pretty too. Excellent work, fully recommended, keep developing it to make it even better!
Best app of its kind
With0utC4use
Best life tracking app for Magic the Gathering in general and EDH specifically, hands down.
Amazing App
Theeyeofcthulhu
This is a wonderful app for keeping track of life totals while playing with your friends. The artwork you can set for each profile is a nice touch.
Just Wow!
Kaelathos
I've run into countless life counter apps, and they've got their pros and cons. This one in particular is perfect in practically every way! It has customization. It has Planechase. It has Archenemy. It has auto tracker for stuff like Monarch! This is a 10/10 app for Commander, a 10/10 app for anyone wanting to play Planechase or Archenemy, and a 9/10 app for everything else! Love it! And thank you devs for giving us this!
