Great app, lagging behind

The app and VTT are great, but the app is behind on the iOS/Android versions which means VTT is inaccessible.

VTT is disappointing

I bought the fifteen dollar VTT after watching the video that suggested first party maps would be included. They aren’t. The process to get them is to go ask one guy on the discord for individual codes. It’s beyond dumb.

Access to purchased modules, maps, creatures, or NPC’s?

The app is awesome and I really do appreciate what Tuesday Knight Games is doing making the mobile app a easy to use resource for both wardens and players. However, since the desk top web version is out and I’m planning on getting some of the official modules like dead planet, pound of flesh, etc.

Will I have to pay again or take the time rebuilding maps for my players both in person and online? Or is there a way to port maps into the app for my players to see on screen??? Once again hope to hear back from the Mothership team soon and thank you for creating an RPG system that is fun, easy for all who play to learn, and terrifying to try surviving in.

In app purchases DO NOT WORK!

Emailed support. No reply. Tried creating an account (that I didn’t really want) but still no in app purchases. Restarted the app multiple times.

The Bar by Which All Other TTRPG Apps Should be Measured

This app is well made and genius in its implementation. It's simple but fully-featured as a character manager alone, but the addition of a ship manager, a dice roller, a map creator, and a VTT really set it above the rest. All features work well on desktop and mobile devices, and the controls are intuitive and easy to use, both for play and for mapmaking. The addition of more polyhedral dice to support rules that third party content introduce (d6 for example) would be a boon.
