Thanks for this app! It makes managing decks a whole lot easier, I use it almost every day on my daily commute!
However I am struggling with accessing the new version from the app store (android), the last version available is the "lost kindred" update. Is the update not available in all regions yet? Is there something wrong on my end? I have tried reinstalling the app without any success. For now I'm currently using the 3.0 in my browser, but would really like to get the app working again! Thanks for any help on this!
Are you running an old Android version? ie. 4.1 Jelly bean
The Google play store is making it harder to to support older phones.
I'll see if it's possible to do a release for older phones.

Hi again, I got a prompt to install the update a few days ago! Not sure what changed, but it's running perfectly now, Thanks.
For reference I'm running Android 7.1.1
My phone certainly ain't the the hottest new model this year, but I feel it's too early for its retirement.
Using Chrome browser, I get an error "NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID" when accessing Amaranth online.
Has the certificate expired or is there a security breach?

Is it possible to add a function to the vampire search to look for vampires with one out of multiple titles? Like filtering for vampires that are either Prince or Justicar

Library cards which have two clans in their requirements (Treaty of Laibach, Ennoia's Theater, a bunch of gargoyle stuff) don't show up if you search for cards requiring either of those clans.
Great piece of software! Thank you very much for it!
Also I wanted to report very minor error:
Lady Vadislava does not show up in search when you tick in "Titled" (she is priscus)
First of all, thank you so much for the APP, is the best companion and worst friend for my Blood Pocket!! .
Anyway, just I would like to share an idea that I have been talking with my partners here.
When I am checking my decks in my mobile, time to time accidentally I push the "-" or "+" button, adding or remove cards (even new cards that it wasn't supposed to be there), so I don't know if would be possible but if you could add a kind of "LOCK Button", it would be great.
Cheers!

This happens to me a lot too! So please add this as a feature.
Where does the app store the images since I noticed some images still display even when offline. I would like a feature where you can download all the images.

She’s group 6. Card lists and a google image search will confirm this.
Why do you think she should be 5?
Hi there,
Alacrity text is wrong. For CEL advanced it should read:
- As above, and if this action is blocked, this acting vampire gets an optional maneuver during the first round of the resulting combat.

Oops, I stand corrected. Confusion ... Thanks!

Current text in Amaranth is: "As above, with 1 optional maneuver during the first round of the resulting combat whenever this vampire blocks" which is functionally the same.

So "this vampire blocks" and "this vampire is blocked" are functionally the same? Still, I think it's weird that an action modifier has a reference to this vampire blocking, instead of being blocked.

Ah! I expected a catch. I was focused on the "whenever" change, so no, you're right, it's not the same

Feature request: Would it be possible to display the average crypt capacity within a decklist while still in Amaranth? It displays on exported decklists (as well as min and max crypt size, though I've never been sure what that's useful for), so clearly the functionality is there - but it would be handy to be able to see the average crypt size at a glance from within Amaranth, rather than having to export a decklist to see it.

Bug report
With "Old card" layout "Burn option" is not shown on the cards:
Barrenness
Evil eye
Not sure if others are affected.
I've checked the "Trackers' Mark and "Dirty contract" and they were in order.
It's a minor thing, really but still ...

This seems to be true for the latest titled Lasombras as well.

Hello KE.
Since there is no way to join you using an MP and you let no contact option on your appli (understandable), I end up here. I know that I'm polluting your subject and I apologize for that.
Warning: Spoiler!
I would like to ask if you could share your card material ? I'm not asking after your template but the cards' patterns ? I'm creating my own template and did not found the material I need. I already ask BCP, they said no of course and I have to create my own material. It's not event close to the official, I do not even try to. My template are more confusing, even for me to play (I upload them in my lackey) because I end up to play with up to three different patterns for the same clan.
You can contact me via and erase this post. Thanks

There is already a "Titled" checkbox that does this; it's just not in the drop down.
I don't know if this is a "feature" or not - Ke might be one of the many Nights of Reckoning haters - but Amaranth is pretty messed up if you try to use it to build an imbued deck. Beyond not being able to look up any cards, crypt or library, based on specific virtues, the "imbued" option in the clan pulldown of the Library section brings back no results.
Worse, library cards which have a conviction cost don't list that conviction cost, either in the text nor in the card art (the latter is especially odd - did someone manually scrub the conviction costs from the card art?). This means that some NoR proxies printed via Amaranth have incorrect card text, which could well be a problem at a tournament in which people aren't familiar enough with the NoR cards to realize that some of the proxies are incorrect.

The proxies on Amaranth are generated based on Card Text and Images of the Art. They are not scans of actual cards (and have in some cases updated card text, that hasn't been printed yet). The problem with the wrong sidebar seems to be a bug in the code generating the images. It also happens with cards that have burn options, but no Clan or Discipline requirement (e.g. Tattoo Signal).
That said, unfortunately the proxies from Amaranth are not tournament legal. The tournament rules specify explicitly "every proxy card must be a color-copy of the original card, on standard paper". With newer cards this is most often not recognizable, but for example set symbols are missing as well.

I love Amaranth, and have used it for years. That being said, I've noticed that there is a lack of updates 5e stuff. Is this a time issue, or something else? I have a feeling that there would be some in the community interested in donating their time to help keep Amaranth up to date (I know I could).
Cards from Fifth Edition sets are implemented and are also visible in Amaranth layout (which is amazing) in deckbuilder. However - they cannot be exported to PDF in new layout. Old cards show up but the new cards are ommited. Also - if the deck contains only new cards Amaranth is unable to generate PDF. I attach a screenshot of that.
Old card frames export to PDF just fine.
