  • Indispensable

    If you have an iPad and play Paizo's pathfinder rpg, then this app is an absolute must have! It saves time flipping through the pages of a hardcopy of the rules and can actually filter results! Yes, it has a few hiccups from time to time, but still...your gaming experience will be better with this app!

  • Glitch

    Every time I try to access the bookmark page the program crashes. Still useful for accessing content without carrying a book around, but would be waaaaay better if the bookmarks worked. Then you could bookmark anything useful to your character you need to access frequently.
  • Very minor flaws, otherwise fantastic!

    The partition between the basic content (Core) and the extra content (UM, UC, and APG) can make searching tricky - whenever I search for "cleric 1" to create a list of all 1st level cleric spells, I get repeats, omissions, and errors.
    That us the only problem I have, though, and I hope it will get a fix in an update. Otherwise this a great buy for any PF player, and nearly a must have for a DM.

  • Great app

    This has made my GMing life so much easier. The recent search additions have sped things up.

    I do think the ability to stop a search would be great, depending on how hard that is to do. In addition, I'm finding more and more links in the UC that the links don't work. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, downloaded the new update before and after uninstalling, and the line still don't work. But, it's a small complaint.

    Even with that complaint, this is an essential tool. It's replaced my core rulebook, allowing my players to use it, and my laptop for most things I look up.

    I can't wait to see what's in store for future updates.

  • A life saver!

    This app is like my gm assistant. No need to switch pdf's or pull out separate books. It's all right there and easily searched. At home or on the go this app is well worth the price. I love the expanded content and look forward to future books to be included. One of the only apps I have bought that I have never regretted.

  • Rules at your fingertips

    I have the PDFs of the Pathfinder rules but they are so filled with graphics and colorful backgrounds that searching them takes quite a while even with a good reader app. This is much better and searching is lightning quick. Since I am relatively new to Pathfinder this app is saving me lots of time when I need to lookup a rule in a hurry. Money well spent.

  • Pretty helpful but needs some features

    Search needs to allow you to select the tombs you want to search. If your searching for Movement you get everything when you may only want Core Additional Rules for Movement. The buttons for All, Spells, Feats, Gear and Monsters work only on new searches instead of pressing to filter out extra results. if you do an in app purchase you have to stop the app and restart for it to become searchable.

    These are only minor issues other wise this is a handy solution for anyone.

  • Useful and back saving.

    As the rules lawyer at my table, and one of the few who doesn't bring his laptop, this thing has saved me a fair amount of lugging.

    While there could be better organizational formats, for someone like me who remembers where things are it is almost as quick as trying to remember the right string of words. With this I have been faster than a browsing tablemate with an errata question.

  • Great app is an understatement

    This has nearly everything you would need for a pocket reference guide to all things Pathfinder. It is so good I ALMOST feel silly buying the books! The core app even comes with the bestiary. Its fast as people said but not flawless, however, because it's so fast, even when a lookup pulls up the wrong section it is no issue correcting the mistake. This is no frills but everything looks good and even sort of looks like the books. The advanced players and gm guide are only a buck each and I got both within minutes. A fantastic (and I mean that) app for pathfinder games!

  • Love this app

    This app is lightning fast...the arrangement is awesome! All of the data is here in one easy place...they have even added the Advanced Players Guide...I am hoping though that they will add the new books as they come out, like Ultimate Magic. However, all in all this is well worth the cost!
