Looking for app for slow map reveal

[Tobold]

I am looking for an app on iOS or Android which would allow me to show my players at the table the parts of the dungeon that they have already seen, but keep a fog of war on the rest of the dungeon. Example can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqs2iUqNKg4 but this was done on a PC, and I would like a version for a tablet.

I searched and found apps like Battle Map 2 or RPG Cartographer, but those are for creating maps. And of course there is a bunch of software for Virtual Table Tops. But what I am looking for is much simpler: I want to use the original maps from a published adventure, have a black fog of war layer on top of them, and be able to remove that layer by drawing my fingers over the screen.

Any suggestions?

Well if you have a paid sub to Roll20 then you should be able to do this on a tablet or laptop, well maybe not with a finger but close.

On Android, you could do exactly what the guy in the video is doing, no app required.

Open your map in the standard Gallery viewer, select Edit, then Draw. Choose biggest brush, draw black over the whole image. Then switch to eraser, pick a size to fit the tunnels or whatnot, and erase as they go. Easy peasy.

Apparently different tablets have different versions of the Gallery app. Mine doesn't have "Draw" as an option. However I did manage to achieve the same effect with the app Paper on iOS.

Huh. Well, glad you got it to work in iOS anyway.
