### 1/5 — Not very useful

*2015-02-03, version 1.24*

Yes it does have a large list of monsters and generates them randomly but there are better sites that do the same and have a built in monster Manuel to get stats from.

### 2/5 — Could be good

*2014-11-29, version 1.32*

This looks like it could be a great app but every time I try to use it it kicks me out 
Once the bugs are fixed it should be great

### 3/5 — Alright.

*2014-06-18, version 1.32*

This app get the job done. It does have a few bugs (which you can easily work around) that are somewhat annoying, but if you want to find random monsters it does a decent job.

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2014-05-29, version 1.32*

Would be good, except that it has so many bugs, making it unusable.

### 1/5 — Ads annoying

*2013-05-29, version 1.24*

Ad bar is put in the middle of the page. Really guys? It couldn't be more annoying. Give me the option to buy it and make this issue go away.

### 5/5 — Epic

*2013-04-17, version 1.24*

A really great app that makes it so you don't need to go through all the annoyance of an encounter deck. I would pay $10 at least for this app. at least, if it had MM3. And btw, It can not have stats, for copyright reasons.

### 4/5 — Like the app

*2012-12-07, version 1.24*

I understand can't display stats due to copyright infringement, but wish there was an image for reference. Some creeps don't go with others and images would allow me to determine what to get rid of in the generated encounter list.

### 2/5 — Disappointing.

*2012-05-13, version 1.22*

The application is good for quickly pulling encounters, but when trying to access other features of the app, it crashes.  It's a bit depressing.  The support for the app is in French, so good luck requesting help.

### 5/5 — Great for a fast dungeon setup

*2012-04-02, version 1.22*

Man this sure is handy when I just can't decide how to populate an area. Thanks for saving me deliberation time!

### 1/5 — Crap

*2011-11-22, version 1.2*

One thing is the sections to the monster goes on the wrong tab and it crashes very often I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. If I could give this no stars I would. No in fact if I could give it negative stars I totally would. They owe me for even downloading this piece of crap
