Battle Map 2 App Reviews

This app crashes whenever I paint tiles in editing maps. It makes it almost useless to do anything productive on my iPhone 5. And when I project it onto a monitor, the screen is unable to rotate into landscape mode. It also frustrates me that I bought this app when it was $20, and now its $10?! What a ripoff for something that doesnt work for half the time. Please fix soon!!! IJG

It refreshing to find a program the simply does what it advertises. Love to see more dungeon icons in the future. Would recommend this purchase to any DM looking to tech up their game.

The apps a decent start, but by no means is it worth the $10. The features that it comes with are limited, and the app crashes frequently.

Gets the job done. I was able to finish my GI Joe board game rendering in 30 minutes. I hope the developer adds more objects and token pieces soon!!! More power!!!

I just spent the past half-hour working on a map, and when I reloadedthe app, my map was gone! Not only that, but the in-app purchases are disabled on iOS 5.1, so iPad 1 users cant get any of the packs. I regret wasting my money on this expensive app.

Map making is fun and easy. I havent run a game with it yet but I know it go very smoothly with the use of AirPlay over my Apple TV. My only complaint is that the use of airplay with the app doesnt fill the TV screen. It would be nice if on the iPhone you could turn it landscape while in the app. This would be enough for me to give this app 5 stars.

I like it but it needs the following (in order of importance): 1. Absolutely MUST be capable of external display via a projector, tv, or pc monitor in landscape mode. As it currently stands, I lose way too much real estate when I try to display on any of those devices and iOS devices all start too small in the first place. 2. An option to move characters via click without auto centering the map would be nice. Moving characters actually just seems a little clunky. (Sometimes moves the character when I just want to move the map.) 3. A few "wall" type backgrounds with a different look would be great. 4. More decorations would also be nice. (For the way I want to use this thing, a bunch of NPC and character objects are kind of useless.)

Seems like a good app so far. It is very expensive for network gaming..players should not all have to pay 9.99 just to view/interact with the map. There needs to be an inexpensive client app for viewing and interacting with groups.

This is a great app. Id give it five stars, but there are a few features lacking that I think would be necessary for that rating. Nevertheless, this thing is amazing for face to face, play by post, remote play—and can transition between all these seamlessly.

I would like to see more npc tokens And a chat box to chat with the players, me and my friends have to use texting instead, please add in!!!! THANKS!

Battle map 2 gets it nearly pitch perfect, in my opinion. Very intuitive controls and very capable. You can map out an adventure and be sharing and running it with players in minutes. Is there room to grow? Certainly. But there is no other RPG map tool that is this capable, outside of PC-based apps. I think it is well worth the price ... And I dont think that often with apps in the $10 range.

Sadly this application looks like it would do everything I need it to do. I Still am so excited to use it but right now its not usable. The problem is with the iPad mini retina the grid continues to freak out and not display properly. What a let down! Sure hope the developers fix this glaring bug soon. Will totally change this review if they do but at the moment i just want to make iPad mini users aware of the app breaking bug.

I had rated this app highly in part because of the developers interactions with the community, but it seems that support for the app has stopped, and this has made me lower my review. Hoping to see updates resume so that I may increase my rating again. Check out roll20.net instead.

This is a really great App. I can rapidly put together good looking maps on my iPad and have them ready for my games in no time. It beats doing them all on graph paper or spending an arm and a leg on other map creation software. I would go five stars but theres no place that I have found to place notes on the maps and I have found a crashing scenario (easily avoidable).

This app is wonderful. Its got all the features I wanted in my DnD sessions, with no typical pitfalls of iOS apps like ads or obnoxious IAP. This map maker harkens back to the days of the Warcraft II map maker with graphics to match the era. Love the simplicity, love the functionality. Most Valuable Feature award goes to the Apple TV "Player View" mode where I get to keep fiddling with the map without eveyone seeing the hidden rooms and treasure hoards. I even love the menu and terrain SFX!!!

Why are you still reading this? Buy it already!

Coming from a background as a DM playing AD&D, and using Dundjinni, I thought to upgrade and try this. I purchased it to help create a better environment for my gamers, hoping to create a richer environment for them. What I have found is that this is fine for square dungeons and buildings. However, If I am going to use it explore extensive cave networks or even a ship, which my party is doing right now, it lacks the tools necessary to help draw it out. The purpose of a digital map is detail. Without high detail, I don’t see the value in this. I really would prefer a selection of pens to create depth. Not a lot, but just a few. Even a fill option would be nice.

I had four maps and they were all gone after the last upgrade. I wrote to their help email and never got a response.

Could be great, as is, way way too many bug as is, he most annoying of which is to watch maps you spent time on just mysteriously disappear into the aether. Crashes often. Dark mode does not keep areas of the map unseen until characters have moved to the right LoS, just lots and lots of issues. For less money I might let it go. For 9.99 plus over priced in app purchases, I have to give it a thumbs down.

I used this for a Star Trek savage worlds and it was amazing!!! The had no issues back then and Im hoping it still works as good as iOS has updated.
