There are reviews talking about how you can’t edit pre existing features but you can after saving the character. Just wondering why I can’t re-roll the details of a preexisting character. I would like to see more options for details though. By the way.. how the heck do I delete a character? ### 4/5 — Edward *2024-03-20, version 1.2.2* Amazing and wonderful selections but could be better with a grid view selection instead of a line view. ### 3/5 — Good for comics *2024-01-15, version 1.2.2* At the I had no use for this but if like to make oc or make comics it’s really amazing ### 4/5 — Love it but one problem *2023-11-12, version 1.2.2* Okay so I love this app, it helps me keep check of my comic book characters. Just one thing that I hate is that it won’t let me delete any of my characters. I made a team type of gen before I made all of the superheroes for my team and now I want to delete it. This is really horrible and I rather advertisements than this. But other than that it is one of my favorite and most used apps. :) ### 2/5 — It’s a very good concept *2022-10-05, version 1.2.2* I love this concept. I have two very big problems with this app that are the sole reasons I have it as a such a low rating. First of all, and this is a glitch (I think), if I go to type in a box and delete the text, then press done for whatever reason, I cannot view part of the profile as it will close the app if I scroll down too far. A simple way of fixing this is my second problem. There is no way to delete a profile, and the only way is to delete all of them alongside the entire app. If you add a way to delete a profile, then the first problem could be solved by just deleting and making a new one. The amount of times I’ve messed up and deleted the entire app just to reinstall it has driven me to just not reinstalling it. Edit: Many months later I decided to check on the app and I have to pay to redownload? ### 4/5 — Good *2022-08-22, version 1.2.2* One thing though can you add more powers like shapeshifting fire ice stuff like that ### 2/5 — Help *2022-07-02, version 1.2.2* I can't seem to delete unwanted or uneeded characters? How do I get rid of them? ### 4/5 — Really good *2022-05-28, version 1.2.2* I use this for my characters and it works really well only issue I have encountered so far is deleting a characters profile as I couldn’t find the delete button so I tried to remove all the writing and now the profile is glitched to where I can’t open it ### 3/5 — Ok but needs more. *2021-10-16, version 1.2.2* I think it’s a good concept as an app, but it needs more attributes like hair, eye color, age, negative character trait, positive character trait, etc. it also be cool if we could add our own attributes too. Also why can’t we delete the characters? That should be an option. ### 4/5 — Great but fix this *2021-07-29, version 1.2.2* This app is really great. It keeps all my characters organized and in one place. I would highly recommend for writing. The reason I have it on 4 stars is because on one of the characters it always crashed when I press it. Other than that, 10/10. Very useful :) ### 3/5 — The App keeps kicking me out when scrolling down the characters profile *2021-05-23, version 1.2.2* I am so sick and tired of this, this needs to be fixed ASAP. For some of the characters I add. I tap there info and when I scroll down it closes me out of the app. And it’s done this for at least 4 characters and J brushed it off at first but it’s happening more frequently to the point where it’s bloody irritating. Please fix it . Y’all getting a 3 star.😡 ### 4/5 — Good App *2021-04-06, version 1.2.2* This is an amazing app, and I love it. I do have a couple of suggestions, though. It would be nice if you could sort characters into titled folders and add cover images to characters. If there was an option where you could select the characters options rather then just roll random selections. However, this is great if you need ideas for characters! ### 4/5 — nearly perfect however... *2021-03-08, version 1.2.2* this is great for creating random characters for art and writing, however i wish there was an option to choose your own choices. i have prexisting characters that i wanted to keep track of between all of my books but you can’t choose what traits you want, it’s all random choice. a delete button, self choice, and a way to subcatalog by specific works would be cool tho. ### 4/5 — Super helpful for authors *2020-12-28, version 1.2.2* It can be extremely difficult to keep up with all your characters in a story, and this app is super helpful with just keeping them all in the place to find. And the fact that you can manually put in the information and pictures makes it *chefs kiss*. I love it. Though one major thing I wish this app had was an option to delete characters. I have a good number of characters in there that I either don’t want anymore or messed up on. Besides that, this app is absolutely amazing. ### 4/5 — Great, but somewhat lacking... *2020-09-19, version 1.2.2* I think this app is an amazing idea and all the packs are wonderful! However, rerolling all of the characteristics gets tiring. I understand you can manually edit them, but a list of all the different options would be fun to look through when you aren’t entirely sure what you’re looking for. Otherwise, fantastic app! ### 4/5 — This is an app *2020-08-31, version 1.2.2* So basically it’s a pretty great app, nice simple design and whatnot. The only problem I have with it is that you can’t type in your desired attributes, you have to click a randomizer button that gives you a bunch of attributes and getting the ones you want seems pretty much impossible. So please, to the creators of this, make a completely customizable setting or mode. ### 4/5 — Can do with a little more realism *2020-07-29, version 1.2.2* Pretty good. There shouldn’t be able to be some things, like withered children in Antarctica in the past for example. Still, it serves my needs well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 😭😭😭 *2023-05-02, version 1.2.2* It said in the description you can do it yourself and it did it for you and didn’t show a picture I’ll sue ### 1/5 — It keeps crashing *2022-05-09, version 1.2.2* When I open a character info it crashes after I edited it, also no way to delete a character info card. But other than that it’s pretty cool ### 1/5 — Eh *2021-05-29, version 1.2.2* Um I don’t think that this App is good because I like you can’t really design your character exactly how you want it. ### 1/5 — Thieving scums of the earth, I tell you. *2021-03-07, version 1.2.2* bruh it took my £3 and gave me nothin in return ### 1/5 — No option for editing on phone *2020-10-26, version 1.2.2* I have an iPhone and idk how I'm supposed to "edit" like another review's response explained. There is no edit option, and all the app does it generate a bunch of things but I want to type my own answers, yk? ### 1/5 — DON'T GET THIS *2020-06-12, version 1.2.2* 1.you can't edit the picture 2. The format is so confusing like when you go into the app it creates you a character by rolling a dice 🤦‍♀️ 3. There is a major glitch so whenever you try to edit the character it comes out of the app. ### 1/5 — ONLY A BLACK SCREEN *2020-05-23, version 1.2.2* When I downloaded the app I thought it would be fun. But when I finished I didn’t see anything but a black screen! ### 1/5 — Eh *2020-04-23, version 1.2.2* I kinda hate it.... When downloading this game I was thinking “Yay! I cant wait to create a person/avatar!” But, it only lets you pick a personality, race, ect! You can NOT customize your own character! Its not even art! Would not recommend downloading! ~Phoenix🤍 ### 1/5 — Suggestions *2020-04-11, version 1.2.2* I have a few suggestions: 1. Don’t get this game. 2. If you do get this game, just be aware that the scrolling is glitched and you can’t edit the character’s picture. 3. 10/10 would never play again. 4. The 5 stars and 4 star ratings are obviously bots. Nobody could possibly like this game. ### 1/5 — Bit Disappointed *2019-12-06* This is not what I expected, I wanted to create my friends and joke around but ur have to randomise it and that just kinda kills the mood so after spending $4.46 to unlock all the packs just wasted my money but I guess that’s my fault but could have done way better with this:/ **Developer response:** Thank you for your review, and we are very sorry to hear that we did not meet the expectations of your purchase. In upcoming updates we will ensure to be more clear on what our in app purchases include. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ? *2024-06-08, version 1.2.2* I don’t know what everyone’s talking about. The format isn’t confusing at all and I can edit the picture too? ### 5/5 — all my fellas *2023-10-30, version 1.2.2* I can make all my fellas ### 5/5 — Nice tool *2023-04-07, version 1.2.2* Really useful for quickly generating character concepts. Great tool and executed well! One bug on IOS; if I manually override a feature (weapon in this case) erase it and leave it blank and save, the app crashes immediately any time I try and open that character and scroll far enough that it would need to display the edited content ### 5/5 — Tiktok *2022-02-04, version 1.2.2* I just donloaded it of a tiktok recommendation and it did not disappoint I love it ### 5/5 — Pretty good, hasn’t been updated in a while though. *2021-09-28, version 1.2.2* I really love this app! I love how the fact that it has a lot of options when it comes to making your own characters. My only complaint, however, is that it was last updated 2 years ago, meaning that it needs new content and bug fixes. Otherwise, keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — People were complaining about this, here’s the solution... *2021-02-20, version 1.2.2* People were complaining about not being able to manually spchange the description but you can. After you make the character select on the character to look at their profile. In the top right corner there in an edit button select the button and you can manually change the description and add an image. My review: This app is amazing and SO useful. As an artist and somebody writing a book I need to remember everything about my characters and this helps so much. Five stars for you. I don’t usually do ratings but this app deserves it. ### 5/5 — Not the worst app out there *2020-05-12, version 1.2.2* I would say this is a great character generator app,but not only for drawing. I write stories in my spare time, especially with Covid-19.And sometimes I have trouble coming up with characters and time settings for them.This app is a great way to come up with character ideas and I love it ### 5/5 — Great app... but, if you could fix this bug, please? *2020-03-25, version 1.2.2* I would rate five stars if the app didn’t keep closing out/crashing on me whenever I try to restore my purchases. Otherwise it’s a great app and I will keep using it if I can get my purchases back. I’m running iPad OS 13.1.3. I’m not sure if I’m the only one with this issue but besides this issue it is great. Thanks in advance. EDIT: NEVERMIND. It resolved itself. Five stars! I got everything back! I look forward to future updates, fantastic app, I am going to use it for my world building. ### 5/5 — Hard to Access *2020-03-04, version 1.2.2* There should be a way to sort them by keyword/location (I use this for my DND campaign and it takes forever to scroll) and maybe to see them all/many at once? Like a tiny icon mode for files on a PC. Otherwise I really like this app. I’ve had it for years and just last week realized you can write stuff in the description box 🥴😅 ### 5/5 — Sections/dividers *2019-12-17, version 1.2.2* The idea of the app is excellent. However, after creating characters, I tend to often have characters with the same name belonging to different stories. It would be a good idea to add sections/dividers so that you can organize your characters into folders or something similar --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
