  • Lack of full support

    Why no support for viewing any of our characters in any system we own?
  • Best Character Creation Software Ever

    I have tried Character creation software for several gaming systems, but Hero Lab is by far the best! I have been using it for approximately six year now for the following systems; Pathfinder, Shadowrun, Starfinder, Cthulhu and Pathfinder 2.
  • Great stuff

    The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that I’d like to see a landscape mode available for the iPad app. It would make things like journal entry much easier since it would give you the ability to utilize a Bluetooth keyboard. Then I could quickly switch back and fourth between hero lab and say a browser or reference app and not have to keep rotating the tablet over and over again. Otherwise, love the app guys. Keep up the good work!

  • Lacks landscape mode

    I understand that the developers are now probably more focused on the herolab online, but then they should not be offering a fully priced app for iPad that lacks basic features, such as landscape mode.
  • The app is now useless

    Let me start by saying I’ve been a customer / supporter of this app since it first came out. I have a developer background and have had extreme patience with typical bugs. They have always been reasonably responsive to issues in my opinion. That has now changed. Lone wolf seems to have pretty much dropped supporting this app since the new iPadOS release. They blame Apple for changing some rules... That was nearly 6 weeks ago. The app can no longer import portfolios from any outside source nor can any outside source load portfolios into the app...for me this spells the end of its usability until it’s resolved.

    Stay away until they fix this issue!

  • Freezes when adding Gear or Magic Items

    Pathfinder building character and freezes 3 times now. Won’t clear. Have to delete and reload. No mods. Otherwise a good resource. Better to build on pc version then transfer over
  • Almost Perfect

    I would hands down give this app a 5 star rating if it weren’t for one tiny feature its missing. The ability to use the app in Landscape mode. Everything the developer has done has worked flawlessly and has made our gaming sessions a breeze having all the relevant item and spell information built into the character sheet along with being able to easily calculate buffs and debuffs. Please release an update with landscape support, or you could go the extra mile and allow split screen support so we can take hand written notes or draw maps without having to switch between app. Thanks for all you hard work.

  • NOT worth it!

    The reason its not worth it is because first you have to get it on your computer for like $30. Thats expensive when I have found free apps that have just as in depth builders for these games that this gives. This company should feel ashamed for their scam.
  • A bit buggy

    I’ve been having trouble recently with tabs disappearing and errors displaying. That said, it’s still usable and a big asset to my Pathfinder sessions where I run 2 17-level characters.
  • Where is Mutants & Masterminds?

    An excellent app that mirrors the functions of the PC, but is missing support for other game licenses. I still have to revert back to my PC when I need to work on Mutants & Masterminds 3e characters. Will support for M&M 3E (or other game licenses) be added anytime soon?
