Worse than the free PDF
I misunderstood what this app would be. I was expecting the stats to populate throughout the form like the cyberpunk RPG app. In its current state, this app is completely worthless to me
One of a kind, but missing some features
There is no other app that lets you track your Cosmere RPG character sheet, and this one looks and feels great while remaining relatively easy to use. I’ll definitely be using it to track my buildcrafting character ideas.
There are some missing features, however, that will probably prevent me from using this to actually play the game. If these were implemented, I’d instantly recommend this app to anyone looking to try out the Cosmere RPG.
First and most important, becoming a Radiant requires you to add two new Skills to your sheet, and currently this app only supports the Physical, Cognitive, and Spiritual skills that all characters have access to. This makes it difficult to track and easily access Radiant skills, which I hope to do a lot.
Second, the modular Talents that characters gain are recorded in a single text box in this app. This is functional, but would quickly become cramped as you earn additional talents. An ability to add a custom Talent with its own name and description to a list (where you can drag and reorder items and tap to drop-down the Talent’s details) would make this much more readable, compared to hand-typing bullet points in a text box.
Beyond these, I have a couple more minor points of feedback that I could live without, but would still improve the experience:
1) I wish there was a way to delete character sheets. I accidentally misspelled my first sheet’s name, and since changing the name and clicking “save” just saves it as a new sheet, the first misspelled one is just stuck in the list. Sheets should also be able to be renamed without just saving as a new one, but a delete function would solve this well enough.
2) It would be nice to be able to crop and resize the character image.
3) Some of the fields seem like they’d be pretty easy to auto-calculate, with an optional menu to tap and add/subtract custom values. This includes defenses, Skill bonuses, movement rate, health/focus/investiture maximum values, etc. It would be even nicer if particular conditions (such as Enhanced[+2 speed]) could update the relevant fields as well.
4) An area to include any attacks could be nice. This would be easier than trying to shorthand a weapon’s damage, light/heavy weaponry, and other traits. The menu could be similar to lots of D&D character sheet apps, but with optional functionality to add focus/investiture costs, etc.
5) It could be nice to have a button that hides the keyboard. Currently, you have to click on a field without the “return” key to click “done” and get the rest of your screen back.
All that said, I really like this app, and I do plan to use it. It’s just not quite where it would need for me to have it fully replace a physical character sheet. If all of the above changes were implemented, I’d easily give 5 stars and use this over physical sheets 100% of the time (and recommend it to everyone I play with).
Thank you for taking the time to make this tool for a game I am very excited to spend a lot of time playing, and I look forward to future updates!

Great app
Awesome and very easy to use
Easy and fast
Perfectly capable of doing everything I need on my character sheet! All in one app!!
Essential for RPG
Cosmere Character Sheets has seriously upped my game! The app is super user-friendly and covers everything I need for managing my characters—stats, backstory, you name it. The dice roller is a nice touch, especially with the custom Plot Die for those unexpected twists. I also love that I can upload my character’s image and switch between light and dark modes. The automatic calculations are a lifesaver. Sharing and importing sheets with friends is so easy. If you’re into RPGs, you’ve gotta try this app!
