Freaking wonderful!

Best npc generator i have found. Well worth the $2 dollars. Heck i would have spent double that. What makes it worth it is to export out to xml for VTT’s like encounter plus. My only complaint is not being to change the name, but I can work around that.

Thanks so much, Zeddicus! Glad you’re enjoying the app! FYI, the latest update allows you to change every detail of an NPC! Enjoy!

Update fixed iPad filters

The filters now work and so this has become much more useful!

Hey there, perwin! Just wanted to let you know that this was an unfortunate side effect of a previous version. I’ve corrected the issue and filters should work correctly in v5.1.1. Let us know if you run into any more issues! Thanks, Michael Craun

No filter

When I click on the filter icon, nothing happens. I am on an iPad Air 5.

Almost good

I paid for the platinum level so I could use the filters but the filters tab does not work.

Paid for premium can’t figure out how to generate PCs at a given level

I purchased the highest premium level so I could generate 20th level NPCs. Clicking filters does nothing. I’ve restored purchases and still nothing… also, there does not appear to be a way to EDIT what was created.. at the moment it looks like your stuck with what is generated.

Hello, Wheelmanforhire! Just wanted to let you know that filters not working was an unfortunate side effect of a previous version. We’ve corrected the issue and filters should work correctly in v5.1.1. Let us know if you run into any more issues! On the topic of your second point, editing an NPC isn't within the current scope of the app. We do have plans to slowly make that possible a section at a time, but this will need a large overhaul of the code base. We will try to remember to come back here and edit this comment as this functionality is implemented. EDIT Guess what’s in the app now! Feel free to edit every single detail of ANY NPC as much as you want to! :) Thanks for your review, Michael @ MieTech, LLC
