Dinsun Review
I don't usually review utilities, but this thing is a godsend for game night. As someone who plays a lot of tabletop games, I’m tired of looking for a scrap of paper or using a calculator app that closes every time I lock my phone. Lucid is elegant. The 'Liquid Glass' design looks fantastic, but more importantly, it's functional.
The feature where you can rotate the score to face the person across the table? That’s genius. It’s a simple thing that shows the developer actually plays games. It supports 12 players now, which is perfect for bigger groups. It doesn't crash, it saves your history, and it stays out of the way. It’s a tool, not a game, but it’s a damn fine tool. I bought the pro version just to support the dev.
