Had to choose between Gloomhaven and Frosthaven for my group...

So my group of 4 finally finished our last campaign and I had to pick which big box to buy next. I went with Gloomhaven because it was $80 cheaper at my local shop in Austin and I heard Frosthaven adds a lot of admin work. First session was a mess with setup taking 45 minutes but now after 3 plays we're really into it. Has anyone else found the helper app makes or breaks these games for your group?

And @kai914 you are spot on about the helper app. My group tried going old school our first Frosthaven session and we spent so much time fumbling with monster cards and damage tokens that we barely got through 3 rooms. Now I refuse to even open the box without having the app pulled up on my tablet. It honestly turned our second session from a chore into something we actually looked forward to.

Oh man, the helper app is basically a necessity for our group or else I'd just give up on setup entirely. I swear I spent half our first game just trying to figure out where all the little cardboard pieces went.
