What's New in Construct for 5e

3.2.0

June 20, 2026

Some say Construct is a dice roller that got out of hand. Without confirming or denying that claim, this update pays tribute to Construct’s humble beginnings with roll stats. See how lucky your roll was, explore the distribution behind a dice expression, and pretend this was the plan all along. Fun! If you’re into those things.

User reviews

Love this app, but recent update broke it.

I updated the app recently on my iPad and suddenly nothing works, I cannot import, create characters, monsters, anything. The app works great on my phone, but on my ipad nothing works. I cannot even access the compendium at all. Everything works great on my iPhone but iPad does not function at all.

Response from developer

Update: The latest release (3.1.1) should fix your issues. Please don’t hesitate to reach out in case of problems. Thanks for reporting the issue. I recently pushed a significant release and might have inevitably broken the iPad experience. I will fix this soon!

Pretty good and flexible encounter app.

This app lets you build encounters pretty quickly. They can be detailed or bare minimum.

There’s a handful of small bugs but none that really affect the app, stats, or encounters hugely negatively.

Some things I’d like to see, the ability to add notes with links, magic items, and the ability to customize the abilities and skills so that this app can work easily for other systems.

Amazing app

I spent a long time searching for a good DM app that was both free and useful. This app solves both. The interface is clean and intuitive, and the compendium is comprehensive from the start. There were some spells and monsters I had to add manually, but it was a quick procedure. I also love how easy it is to whip up monsters so fast. Whats more, The dev is a real person and not a soulless corporation, which makes the app feel like it got real love. I was able to run a full one-shot out of this app easily. I do wish that mechanical muse took other API keys than just OpenAI, though. Another feature i would like to see sometime in the future is some sort of support for maps. This would be a huge task, though, so I don’t blame the dev for not implementing it yet. All in all, it’s a wonderful app, thats made my DMing a lot better.

Wonderful

It’s not perfect, and a couple of things I want to do are difficult to find, or not intuitive. But they’re all small things. This is a wonderful app to help run encounters, and by far the best thing I’ve come across.

I wish I could pay for this!!!

Absolutely revolutionized how I DM! I'm blown away by the depth of this app and also by the simple but incredibly effective user experience. I cannot recommend this enough.
