Very buggy
No more support. They told me it has to do with apple. Now unusable
Love Lone Wolf hate Apple.
This app use to work amazing. Apple is just greedy and makes this app unusable on newer iPads. **Edit if you highlight test and translate you can read the text***
Best Character App I’ve used
Without question, the best app I’ve used for character creation… after paying for all the additional content. 2 issues keeping me from giving this app 5 stars.
1. The app should support custom content that is available on the computer version.
2. Since changing iPads recently, the data pop-ups no longer fit on the screen, making them impossible to read. VERY annoying.

Good app, frequent crashes.
I love the app, but it crashes every time I attempt to take damage to my HP. Can’t seem to figure out why.
Text cut off
I was excited to have hero lab on my ipad, but was dismayed to find that the text is cut off on the right side of all text windows. You lose entire sentences and there is no way to scroll sideways. There is no in-app setting to adjust text size that I can find, and the ipad setting to reduce text size had no effect on this app. This makes it impossible to read information in the app. I will be uninstalling.

iPad no longer supported
The company is no longer supporting the app and appears to want everyone to use their online service.
Very disappointed
Having used this app for years I am very disappointed to report that it does not work on my new iPad. Having reported the issue the developer replied that it was down to Apple policy preventing them from updating because there is nothing in the app for them to take a share of!

iPad version terrible
I have the newest iPad Mini and not one section can you read the entire section. It cuts off a good quarter to third of all the pop ups.
Abandoned
They haven’t updated this app since April of 2020. There are numerous bugs that need to be addressed and each new iOS update just reveals more.
The company has focused all of there resources on their new subscription based online web version. They are allowing this software to languish and I’m betting eventually die. Sadly I have lots invested in the data.

Silly me, I shouldn't have assumed this app was actually supported
This app is worthless. I've been a long-time user of the desktop application, using it extensively for Shadowrun. Well oops! I guess the ipad version is only for Pathfinder and 5th Edition. And it only runs in portrait mode. That $10 additional key may be the last thing I buy from this company. If you're not going to support an app, pull it.

Landscape Mode
Good working application to simplify the character options during game play. That said, this needs to have an upgrade to allow for landscape mode.
Lack of full support
Why no support for viewing any of our characters in any system we own?
Best Character Creation Software Ever
I have tried Character creation software for several gaming systems, but Hero Lab is by far the best! I have been using it for approximately six year now for the following systems; Pathfinder, Shadowrun, Starfinder, Cthulhu and Pathfinder 2.
Great stuff
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that I’d like to see a landscape mode available for the iPad app. It would make things like journal entry much easier since it would give you the ability to utilize a Bluetooth keyboard. Then I could quickly switch back and fourth between hero lab and say a browser or reference app and not have to keep rotating the tablet over and over again. Otherwise, love the app guys. Keep up the good work!

Lacks landscape mode
I understand that the developers are now probably more focused on the herolab online, but then they should not be offering a fully priced app for iPad that lacks basic features, such as landscape mode.
The app is now useless
Let me start by saying I’ve been a customer / supporter of this app since it first came out. I have a developer background and have had extreme patience with typical bugs. They have always been reasonably responsive to issues in my opinion. That has now changed. Lone wolf seems to have pretty much dropped supporting this app since the new iPadOS release. They blame Apple for changing some rules... That was nearly 6 weeks ago. The app can no longer import portfolios from any outside source nor can any outside source load portfolios into the app...for me this spells the end of its usability until it’s resolved.
Stay away until they fix this issue!

Freezes when adding Gear or Magic Items
Pathfinder building character and freezes 3 times now. Won’t clear. Have to delete and reload. No mods. Otherwise a good resource. Better to build on pc version then transfer over
Almost Perfect
I would hands down give this app a 5 star rating if it weren’t for one tiny feature its missing. The ability to use the app in Landscape mode. Everything the developer has done has worked flawlessly and has made our gaming sessions a breeze having all the relevant item and spell information built into the character sheet along with being able to easily calculate buffs and debuffs. Please release an update with landscape support, or you could go the extra mile and allow split screen support so we can take hand written notes or draw maps without having to switch between app. Thanks for all you hard work.

NOT worth it!
The reason its not worth it is because first you have to get it on your computer for like $30. Thats expensive when I have found free apps that have just as in depth builders for these games that this gives. This company should feel ashamed for their scam.
