FAQ

Will Hero Helper be available for other platforms?

At this time there are no plans to port this to other platforms. There are several apps that do similar things on other platforms. There is currently nothing like this app on the Windows Store so I would like to provide this community with an easy to use app.

How much will the app cost?

Completely Free.

Will there be advertisements?

I have no plans to add advertisements at this time. That may change.

Hey my stats aren’t correct!

This app does not take into effect every skill or follower. My goal was to show the stats of an unbuffed hero. This does include passive skills though. If you still believe the app is wrong, please send me an email with details of what is incorrect. I will do my best to correct any issues. You could even fix the issue yourself and make a pull request on my github.
