  • Great App with only a few tweaks needed

    I’ll start with a brief praise for the app. It’s streamlined, it has a good UI, it’s intuitive and customizable. The app is great for creating a character and allows for the addition of homebrew to a large extent if you want.

    Now in terms of criticism I really only have 3 main points. Some useful additions would be the ability to copy a character. If you have a character and want to play around with leveling or other aspects you have to recreate that character entirely. It would be a lot easier if there was a way to simply copy the existing character. Some others have already stated that a database with the spells/abilities descriptions (or at least a page reference) would be helpful. Finally a way to sync devices data would be helpful. It may be just on my end, but my iPad version of the app doesn’t have the characters on my phone, nor does it recognize the paid app upgrade made on my iPhone.

    On the note of leveling down a character, I think a more intuitive approach would be helpful as well, but would like to point out that you can undo changes to a character through the restore option in top left hand folder.

  • A couple of bugs

    This app runs wonderfully for the most part and I’ve been using it off and on for the better part of two years, but recently I attempted to import a character that I had created using Myths Weavers but ended up stuck in a never ending cycle.
    After uploading the .json file I got from Myth Weavers (which is the file format that the app suggests uploading) I went in to the app and selected custom data. The app prompted me to provide a URL or to connect my Google Drive and download the file from there. This function seems to refuse to work, after about a half an hour or repeating the same steps only to be told that the file formate that I was using is incorrect or that the URL I had provided was wrong at the end of each attempt I have taken to the comments to ask for help. I would really love to be able to use this feature because I put a lot of work into making a homebrew PC and as of right now I can’t find any other way to implement this character in to this app

    Thanks

  • Good, but needs improvement

    I'd like to start this review by saying that, overall, this app is pretty solid. Clean and uncluttered interface, easy to use, and I haven't really had any major issues with it so far. That said, there are a couple improvements that could really make this app exponentially better. The biggest four changes I'd very much like to see are the ability to level down characters, a searchable database of spells/abilities and their descriptions, a dice roll function, and the ability to input user a user created simple stat point set.
    Being able to level down characters could be extremely helpful for instances where a user may have accidentally selected something other than their intended change(s) during a level up.
    The searchable database of spells/abilities and dice roll function could both eliminate the need for another app to provide the same function, thus keeping a game moving.
    The user created simple stat point set would make character creation faster for those who use a different set of starting stats.

  • A good app, but slightly buggy

    I love this app, and I don’t know what I’d do without it! It’s easy to use, rather simple to figure out, and fun to mess around with. That being said, however, this app does need some improvements. For instance, there is a slight bug with the spell sheet page where there will be a spell name section that just goes on forever when you first start the app up, and put some spells in. The keyboard will also cover over sections of the app that you are trying to type in sometimes, like when you’re trying to type in a description for the character’s personality traits or flaws. It’s also a bit disappointing that there are no selections for the Unearthed Arcana expansion PDF files for things like archetypes and classes at the current moment for the app, so you have to do it manually. Again though, this app is all the much worth it, and is essential for any D&D campaign held over discord or the like.

  • Fantastic!

    An excellent app! It makes sharing characters and keeping track of things so much easier! Especially for introducing new players.
    Only thing at the moment is I can't quite work out how to sign out of a google drive and then sign into another.
  • Well thought out.

    Unfortunately the scaling is really bad on the iPhone 6s. It's very hard to use permanently because of that. Hopefully this gets fixed sooner than later
  • Incredibly useful

    This app has streamlined my D&D experience without losing anything on the way.
    The overall design of the app is thoughtful and it is very easy to understand and translate information from a written character sheet. The level up system of the app works well and once it is done you can customise further if you are playing a variant or revised character. I highly recommend this app to anyone.

  • Doesn't fit my screen

    Really like the app but the pages don't fit my iPhone 6s screen. Point values are off the sceen.
  • Pretty sweet

    More auto generated customisation would be great for beginner noob like me but has import function and is a good character sheet backup
  • Good, but....

    Very useful, but needs some serious updating for Volo's etc... also some of the text has errors... have been using this for about a year, and don't remember ever seeing an update...
