If you like scrolling…
No horizontal page swipe controls. I hate vertical scrolling so this app doesn’t work for me. If you don’t mind it’s nice.
Not for me
The app does not use the Files app, making it basically useless to me. I already have a pdf viewer I'm perfectly happy with, so if this downloaded to Files it would be great. As it is, I have to download a file in this app, then open the downloaded PDF in this app, and then share it to my pdf reader. This is fine for one or two files...but not an improvement over just downloading from the website.
The UI is not great and doesn't seem to use built-in iPadOS features like the scrollbar, making it look and feel alien.

Useful but needs improvements
This is a useful app on my iPad but I can’t find a way to customize the download folder. I also find the overall UI to not be as intuitive as other iPad apps. Maybe it should follow Apple’s UI standards?
Needs work
Collections does not work. I try to make a new collection a bunch of times and the app always has a pop up “Error(s): Failed to add a new collection: Customers can create new productLists.” Well that was useful information. Now I’m looking at my 158 DriveThruRPG products with very little in the way of organization. Could you please fix making collections?

Better
Liking the newer versions. Getting much better. (Still wanna phone version!)
Response from developer
Our thinking was that reading PDFs on a phone isn't a great experience, and not many users would want to do that. However, your review as well as direct feedback has shown us that there is a demand for that, so it is one of our next planned updates. It will take a lot of UI work to make the app look good on a phone, but we're up to the challenge!
Good lord this is terrible.
An app that manages to make the OBS web sites look like slick marvels of modern technology.
Does not work at all as far as I can tell. Entered my DTRPG password and ‘logged in’ to a library with a single title I had deleted earlier and none of anything else.
Deleting it now and reminding myself why I make every attempt to avoid OBS unless it’s the only option available.

We are very interested in finding what is causing this bug. Could you please use the Contact Us link on our website, and let us know what your DriveThruRPG email is so that we can get more details, attempt to recreate the error, and hopefully fix it? We'd also be interested to hear if you're having this issue with the latest version; we've made several bugfixes since 3.0.0.7.
Needs a way to move from the top of the list to the bottom.
Like it says. Flicking through large list is inefficient and time consuming. Trying to grab the tiny handle along the right side doesn’t work.
Second, I’m getting duplicates and triplicates of my books. Makes a long list even longer.
Fix this and it’s 5/5.

Broken?
I can’t manage my library or read my files at all anymore. App is totally broken and makes me likely to avoid buying from this vendor.
Good idea that I hope improves
Good on DTRPG making this app. It’s a bit buggy TBH and not all my downloads work but I hope they continue to improve it.
Downloads random things, not well built
This is the most frustrating app. I just want to select and download PDFs that I’ve bought. Instead it downloads what I want PLUS some random items from my library. Every time I try to download one thing, I get a whole bunch.
On top of that, it doesn’t give any progress indicators for downloading. Which I guess just adds to the excitement. Every so often, a new random item will appear.
On top of that, it’s not designed for portrait mode. You have to scroll horizontally all the time.
