Great support app for the Sentinels board game
Very useful app with lots of trackers you can use while playing Sentinels of the Multiverse. My only complaint is that I wish more of the game art came with the app for free instead of through DLC. I don't object to DLC for things like the Vengeance alternative play modes or variant card art, but I'd be happier with the app of art for all the standard expansions was included automatically.
Indispensable
A truly excellent app. I haven't even bothered to punch out the various tiles and damage counters, since we can just track all of that on the app. Also, it's a great bonus that if you leave a game set up over night, the app will not lose your in-progress game even if you delay getting back for a long time. Im having a bug with the team version of Ambuscade (when defeated his nemesis cards should still stay in play), but otherwise perfect.
Awesome
Best thing ever even with custom cards
Super Helpful!
A must have app! Simple to use and extremely helpful. Made the game move quickly and could easily be seen by everyone at the table.
Infinite possibilities
Does exactly what you need it to do. It provides you a way to randomly generate games or selectively pick each portion of the game. Also does an excellent job of keeping track of hit points. If you seriously play Sentinels, then this is a must have.
Solid, but...
For the most part, this is a helpful companion to the card game. However, it would be better if the interface was more customizable, starting with a landscape mode. Seriously, most iPad cases display the iPad in landscape, and this app doesn't rotate. Finally, the app should adjust the interface if only 3-4 heroes are playing, rather than wasting space.
Does exactly what is says it does
It's a simple app that generates random games and keeps track of various cards, modifiers, and stats. It's a better randomized then SoTM:TVG in that it allows you to adjust difficulties. Any chance of launching SoTM:TVG with the Sentinels Sidekick generated cards?
It's pretty great
I just wish that it came with the art for every character. I feel like since I paid for the whole app, I should get access to the full product. But otherwise it's very solid, and greatly speeds up the game!
A must-have for playing the card game
We love playing Sentinels of the Multiverse card game, and wouldn’t think of playing without using this app to track hit points. It’s stable, colorful, and useful for that purpose. We’ve added custom heroes, villains, and environments for our Cauldron expansion, which is great. The only gnat in the batter is we really wish it came with a landscape mode. Portrait-only is a real limitation. Please please please add that feature, and then you’ll be a 5-star app!
Needs landscape mode
As a lot of people have said - and some from 5 years ago! - this needs a landscape mode

Not great for a phone
I would not recommend getting this app if you’re thinking of using it on a phone. The content just isn’t readable enough at that scale, especially if you want to have one device for the whole table of players. I have an iPhone 7 Plus, and even with the Plus’s size, the health numbers are hard to read from any distance other than holding-up-to-your-face.
The app seems solid in most other respects, and I’m sure the experience is way better on a tablet.
Not as easily shared
With social distancing, we would like to play game over zoom. This would be awesome to connect with our friends who aren’t on our WiFi. Disappointed that we can’t use this as easily to play.
