Carcassonne Helper app for iPhone and iPad
Carcassonne is a great boardgame with many MANY expansions. The problem tends to be how to select what expansions to play with, since playing with them all will take forever. Another problem is to remember the rules for them all.

Pros and cons of Carcassonne Helper app for iPhone and iPad
Carcassonne Helper app good for
Can be quite helpful to have te rules on your iPhone, but keep in mind that this app is only really useful if you have a lot (if not all) of the expansions.
Si, utile! Ma ha bisogno di alcuni miglioramenti! Per esempio: lespansione "la principessa e il drago" ha 30 tessere, ma "la principessa" ne ha solo 6. Questo errore fa sembrare che lestrazione delle espansioni sia sbagliato perché sembrerebbe maggiore del limite imposto. Suggerisco anche di inserire unopzione per poter scegliere che unespansione esca sempre nelle estrazioni.
Yes, It is useful! But it needs some improvements! For example, the expansion of "The Princess and the Dragon" has 30 tiles, but "the princess" has only 6. This error makes it appear that the extraction of the expansions is wrong because it would seem greater than the limit. I also suggest adding an option to choose an expansion always comes out in draws.
Some bad moments
The idea is great and i want it badly, but its not working at all on my IPAD one...
I thought It would help me solve this Manuel that is full "which or as usual "... Thought it would vulgarize a little the blurry zone but it s more a reminder for the new items...
This nicely designed app is a convenient and easy way to explain to uninformed players how the different parts of the various Carcassonne expansions work.
The ability to randomize which expansions to use is also nice, especially because you can select each rule as a different expansion. For example, it might include the large follower rule from Inns & Cathedrals, but not select the cathedral scoring option. Its a fun way to mix and match all the various rules, and get a new game each time.
Learn from the rulebook, but keep this app handy. Waving it at a noob can really help keep things on track. Thanks!
I own almost all of these expansions, so this is a great tool for Carcassonne night. The randomize feature actually gets used a lot for games with my lady.
Its alright, but it could really use a tile counter...I am sorry I spent money on it...
Overall a good reference point, but could use some more directions to the expansions
