Tracking stats and seeing how decks do, how people win, etc has been an exciting addition to playing. When you get used to the app it is a very fast addition to your game taking nearly no time to use correctly which was our groups initial worry. If you mess up win cons, damage, who was using what deck, or various other information, you can still change game logs to represent what really happened in game easy as well. As a group we have been having fun with the stats and will probably back the paid version of the app soon just because the quality and ease of use deserves praise. Fun, easy to use, and adds an extra layer of detail to our favorite hobby.
Best Tracker for Stats
Samsquamptch91
I have used a lot of different life trackers and this might be the last one I use. Definitely a bit of a learning curve, but after a few times using it, it all comes together. The magic happens on the website though. You can look at details from each turn, pinpoint who did what on each turn and keep track of when a player is knocked out.The only drawback is getting everyone on board to make a profile. Otherwise it might not track as accurately
My favorite life tracker app!

Everything that comes with this app and website are amazing. First of all, it’s free. Second, it makes tracking commander damage super clear. It has really great options for dealing damage to your opponents and yourself. The website gives you the ability to track your games that were recorded on the app and gather some helpful data. Overall it’s a very well designed app and just keeps improving!
Great life tracker and extra features

App is in a great state, the discord is active which is a plus. Some occasional UI bugs but it’s only the commander pictures. It tracks life plus you get to track how your deck does overtime. So far I’m loving it and trying to get others to use it. Account setup is easy, but can still be used without it as I’m the only one in my playgroup with an account.
Complete app redesign and added online Commander play functionality.
