## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not a character builder

*2023-02-04*

Why can’t I actually make a character on this app? That’s what I want. Thank god this was free.

### 3/5 — Import HDC bugs but dice roller is nice

*2024-09-17*

I’ve tried several HDC files from a couple versions of Hero Creator and two bugs, one makes import unusable. An import fills two character slots. But the Characteristics import at 4x value instead of the saved values (levels in the HDC xml). (Using a 5th Ed character)

### 3/5 — Link to export template is broken

*2019-10-08*

The link provided in the description for an HD export template no longer works. Had to Google it. Otherwise the app works as advertised.

### 4/5 — A Great Companion For Gaming

*2019-03-17, version 1.2.4*

This app is perfect for generating impromptu characters when in need and rolling dice when there aren’t any physical dice around. The one minor issue with the program is that the quick-reference rule links seem to be inaccessible; an error appears when I try to view them. Otherwise, this is a great app for Hero gaming. It’s always nice to have new Hero products to bring to a game.

### 5/5 — Love it but 1 complaint

*2022-05-26*

This makes things easier to play the game but my only complaint is I can’t edit any of Characteristics once the character is loaded so I have to delete/import the .hdc file for changes to be made. If there’s a way to edit in the app, please let me know but if not, can you add on next update?

### 5/5 — Manages everything

*2020-06-14, version 1.7.0*

This app really does it all. Damage, knock back, recoveries, character imports etc. Great tool for a great game!

### 5/5 — Bout time!

*2018-06-28*

It’s about time we got a good mobile app for the Hero System! There are a few small bugs but considering it’s free and made by one person (I think) this is amazing work!

### 5/5 — Great app, about time someone made this!

*2018-03-08, version 1.1.0*

Calculates your hit points for you, lets you upload your character, and includes a dice roller.
