Greed

Only works on phones

I have a iPhone,ipad, and a Mac book, the dnd beyond mobile app only works well on phones, white it is usable on iPads the functions aren’t to scale but everything works. But on a Mac book you physically can only make characters, everything else like reading a handbook is impossible, the text is black and the background is too meaning its impossible to see text that doesn’t have a link.

Nothing loads

Updated app and iPad and nothing loads. Uninstalled, logged out, nothing works. Thanks DND Beyond!

Helps new players

While it can take time to load and hides a lot behind a medium paywall it still helps new players a little lot even if changes to app would be nice

Very useful, could do so much more

Been using the app for years now. Very useful to easily read the sourcebooks, spells, classes, etc. but the listings tab needs enhancements to match the utility of the website.
1. Need to be able to sort by things other than alphabetical name order, being able to sort by spell level, or monster CR is essential
2. Monster CR filter. Why am I forced to have a range. Why can’t I filter to say just CR 4, why must it be CR3-4 or 4-5. This is an extremely easy fix.
3. Feat filters. You’ve added new types of feats in 2024 with general, origin, epic boons, dark powers. Let me filter by them. And similarly, let me filter backgrounds by what stat bonuses they give.

I use this app near daily as a DM, and I continually find it just short of greatness.

Errrg

Amazing but way to expensive for not getting to unlock all characters and classes and not being able to run a campaign

Great… but

On Mac, the text of things like spells is in black, which is impossible to read against the dark background. It used to be fine but it broke a few weeks ago - please fix it!

reciew

so like i wannet to kill my self cuz i cant reed but then i got this app and it changed my life i got a divorce and fought the sneaks brutally and had an amazing mom

Wow

Most wonderous joy hringing app ive ever used i love dnd so much and msking stuff is so easy now yayyyy

Character Sheets

Walking speed needs to be moved back to Ability Scores screen. As well, someone needs to program the character sheets from the app to print out standard WoTC character sheets found in the PHB 2024 instead of the 3rd party character sheets it currently prints out

Doesn’t work, money wasted

I bought a book. it should register the license and allow me to use the contents to make a character. Ive wasted my money and now i will seek free options.

A necessity

There offs so much information available! It’s wonderful! BUT the UI is a bit clunky and sometimes counterintuitive. Really can’t hold it against the devs given the insane scope of the app, but I think they can earn that last star with some fixes 😊

Listing help

The app is awesome but there is one thing that has been bugging recently I am unable to check out my ranger class and subclass info in the listings tab the 2014 ranger and ranger subclass stuff is fine but the 2024 ranger and ranger subclass tabs has stopped showing care to fix it and there might be other problems with the listings tab and I am right

I’m holding the five starts hostage

Really good but k can”t update the app bc I don’t have a newer iPad. 5 stars if you make it 100% available for All versions pls!

Wasted my time

Selected to download a character sheet. Didn’t give me an option to go back and the only thing I could do was close the window. This app has only gotten worse.

Come on man

I’m a huge DND fan. I love to get my team into a bunch of trouble and stuff but like things to face I can’t have that character brainstorm I’m limited and I’m not gonna pay a boatload of money just to be able to play as like a different species, it’s not worth it. I’d be better off just playing with paper sheets. How greedy do you have to be people by your game all over the world and you decide that you’re gonna make it so that people have to pay money to get a certain species we’re not gonna do that. We paid to play a game we’re not gonna pay to be a character so give us the access to all the characters.

Awesome D&D resource, but 5.5e character creation still needs fixes.

Long-time user here, writing this review two years after the 5.5e update and still waiting on D&D Beyond to implement fixes to make character creation with the 2024 rule sets as smooth as it was to use 5e. My group’s DM switched to 5.5 between our prior and current campaigns because we prefer some of these updates: e.g., changes to grappling/shoving and the weapon mastery system. Unfortunately, the downside we have noticed is taking longer to create characters because any spells a char gets from their class, race, or background do not load correctly in their Spellbook on the Class tab of the Builder. This feature we had in 5e made it easy to avoid selecting duplicate spells without jumping back and forth from the digital character sheet to the Builder. When is D&D Beyond going to restore these QoL features from 5e to 5.5e, such as the spellbook checking, searching character portraits, and probably others I have forgotten?

👍

Five stars but I do wish you would add more to the playable races list.

Not For Indecisive People

I downloaded the app on a whim because I was bored and had nothing better to do, obviously this was not the app for that kind of thing , I was extremely excited to get down to playing but EVERYTHING, and I mean everything was behind a paywall, I’m not paying $40 for some random online D & D game book, so I decided to delete my account and the app (the same day I got it), but it’s such a hassle to just delete your account, it’s like Instacart or something, you have to go and submit a request to delete your account, DUDE, why am I requesting to delete MY account, and now I’m waiting for a D & D agent to message me back about deleting my account. If you’re a really big fan of D & D and have buckets of money you’re dying to spend on an online game, be my guest. I’m sure some people will enjoy the app, just not my vibe, just wanted to experiment with something new but I guess this wasn’t it! I’ll probably update my review after the D & D agent messages me about my request, but for now, I stand behind my 2 star review! Have a great day or night, or whatever! Bye bye!

Desktop support

App is nearly there but still poorly fitted to iPad, but the interface in all desktop resource and rule books is just HTML format, impossible to navigate
