A slick app for PC/NPC tracking

As a GM, I gotta say this is something I recommend to any of my chooms to track their characters on their agent....ahem....I mean mobile device. The UI is nice, and I haven’t experienced any bugs in this current build. As long as the developer keeps it up, they can expect word of mouth support from me!

I highly recommend!

I run a couple of groups that are currently playing cyberpunk and most of my players use this app.

It is also handy for creating NPCs on the fly!

It is still missing a few features, but the developer already has them in the works on the roadmap. Once that is done this app will be perfect!

Response from developer

Hey TranslucencY! You're right, there was a major bug that was a pain to figure out, but I'm happy to say it has been resolved with today's major feature update. Try reinstalling the app and giving it another go.

A lot of good changes have been made :)

I was hoping to use this in a similar vain as “Chummer” with Shadowrun where you could, with quite a bit of ease, experiment with different weapons, pieces of cyberware, etc. with your sheet automatically taking in the difference. Nothing of the sort. Has a nice built in dice roller, and it looks like it would be nice as a play aid, but not very useful for any type of complex experimentation.

Also, some features are missing and others bugged. Despite my character having 6 martial arts no option for martial arts attacks appeared

EDIT: Many good changes have been made to the app to make it a lot more intuitive and user friendly, not perfect but I am enjoying it much more

Hey Voltaire-747, I'll have to go check out Chummer, maybe it'll give me some inspiration to bring into this app! While there's still a ton of content missing from this app, that gap in info narrows a bit with today's content update. It tracks Humanity, allotted points for various role abilities, NPC stats, Vehicle SDP, program REZ, and more. It also accounts for various role ability roll modifiers, and adds roll modifiers to more cyberware. More detailed martial arts features will come in a future update. At the end of the day, the core rulebook is BIG, and I'm only one guy with pretty limited free time. But as I get the time, the app will continue to improve, so definitely stay tuned for future updates! Cheers!

Poor

So I try to make a character but the confirm button doesn’t work making it impossible to save a character..... If I can’t do that then this app isn’t useful at all since that’s all it’s for... Making and saving characters....

Create

Unable to complete characters. Also when clicking on gear brings me to a gray screen with not on there

Easy to use and quite handy

Been trying to find an app that uses the same formula as DnD Beyond/DDB Player App and was starting to think that I wasn’t going to be able to find one, luckily this exists.
Can’t wait for more Gear, Cyberwear, Weapons etc from the Sourcebooks to be added and to be able to add photos to the Characters.

My only problem is the typing issue where I can’t change random words throughout the paragraphs, instead I have to delete everything up that point.

Overall though, is a really great app!

Not Function

Upon completing character I could not open said character. I'll give it another try eventually cause everything else seems cool.

Great Starting Point, Perfect to Jump In

The app has a lot of the basics you’d need, and a bare minimum one shot would be able to be run using this with little issue. Great for getting people into the game, and the app has plenty of space to grow and improve by adding the more nuanced and multi-faceted parts of Red into it!!!

Response from developer

Massive thanks for the five star review! So glad you've found it helpful. You're right, there's definitely a lot of room to grow, and I hope to continue adding many useful features to the app over time.

Decent enough, missing several options

This is a good start, and seems to still be under construction, but there are several aspects of character creation still missing (weapon mods, etc) that make it incomplete, so you still need a paper sheet in front of you when playing. Good start though!

Response from developer

Hey Nick_The_Vamp, You're right, there's still a fair bit of content missing from the app. It takes a lot of time to translate content from the book to the app, and the book has a TON of content! But the amount of content has increased today, with the addition of Role Abilities, Vehicles, NPCs, the "Agent" (for keeping track of contacts, notes, and tasks), and more! Weapon Modding will be part of the next feature update, so stay tuned, and thanks for the great review!

Does the trick

Simple easy and useful!
