I'm not sure what the proper protocol for this kind of this is, but I jsut wanted to announce that I have a new Heroclix related app on the iTunes store. It's called Clix Utilities, and currently serves as a Line of Fire tool. With it you can recreate maps with terrain markers and tokens and determine whether the line-of-fire between two squares is hindered or blocked.
Since the app is called Clix Utilities, the plan is to add additional functionality that will aid players during a game. If anyone has any suggestions or criticisms, let me know.
I like the fact it makes the decision for you wether LOF is blocked or not, only because it helps with home games. I'm not entirely convinced it takes all the rules into account though.

Great stuff! I'd pay more if it came w the maps! But don't charge us per map hehe
Thanks for trying out the app guys! Preloaded and user-generated/stored maps are definitely on the list of things to do, as are giants/colossals. Also, despite how authentic the tiles look I actually made them from scratch. I honestly thought they looked pretty crappy but you can't tell when they're scaled down to a phone. Keep any other suggestions/criticisms coming either in this thread, or through a pm. I'm working on a lot of stuff but I'll try to respond as quickly as I can.

Sorry they are too close to the actual items that where created by Wizkids and from the screenshots on the itunes store, the smoke tile is dead on to Wizkids, also the dial outline you are using is is once again dead on with theirs as well as the sharpshooter icon you are using.
Any good lawyer would be able to show that you are making money off of their product without compensating the original creator.
Now if wizkids gives you the ok thats one thing, but pretty sure you did not get permission to use their protected product.
Sorry if I seem harsh on this, but having had my work stolen in the past and someone else passing it off as theirs, kind of a sore point for me.
But hey kudos for creating a app that some may need, but most players playing in a live game this app is not very practical for obvious reasons, so it looks to be only good for the online game, and if they at some point add a LOF feature to that, well....

I do see where you're coming from and I think it is a bit of a gray area, but I didn't even look at the official Wizkids stuff when I was making the images for the app. Obviously a target symbol and a gear symbol aren't unique to Heroclix, but they were what I had in mind when I made them. Same with the tiles. I don't want to hash this out in this thread, so PM me if you have any other thoughts on the matter. I will give it some more thought myself.
Oh and the ghostbusters symbol is used to remove tiles/terrain that you have added to the map.
I was using the app this past weekend during a game, we were trying to resolve a LOF dispute. That's when I realized that there was one thing missing, there is no icon for characters other than the attacker and the target. I guess I could use blocking terrain but I'm not sure the rules would be the same.

Noticed this same thing this past weekend. I used blocking to plug in the character.
That being said I'm really liking this app.
Suggestion for another utility - odds calculator (for those of us whose brains don't like to think maths). The TC guys have one for their Monsterpocalypse app and I use it frequently. Different mechanics of course (dice are used to determine odds) but still useful.
