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. ### 4/5 — Update fixed iPad filters *2023-08-09, version 5.1.1* The filters now work and so this has become much more useful! ### 2/5 — No filter *2023-08-06* When I click on the filter icon, nothing happens. I am on an iPad Air 5. ### 3/5 — Almost good *2023-07-31, version 5.0.1* I paid for the platinum level so I could use the filters but the filters tab does not work. ### 1/5 — Paid for premium can’t figure out how to generate PCs at a given level *2022-12-31, version 5.0.1* 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. ### 2/5 — Crashing *2022-03-18, version 4.2* The app crashes every time I select a new generated character. ### 1/5 — Crashes a lot *2022-02-14, version 4.2* I would love to use this app, but it crashes at random, sometimes even when just opening the app. I’ll try again and change my rating if the crashes stop. ### 1/5 — Fantastic app when it’s not crashing. *2022-01-08, version 4.2* I’m running this app on both my iPhone 12 as well as my iPad. In both cases, it works well up and to the point that you try to use any filters. As soon as you tell the app that you want a particular race, level or challenge rating it will crash and reload, losing anything you were doing. It only successfully generates a character one out of 10 times. If the crash issue could be fixed, this could easily be a five star app. ### 2/5 — Prepare for Crashes *2021-09-11, version 4.2* My app is constantly crashing and I can barely use it. Really disappointed seeing as I have purchased the platinum version. ### 5/5 — Updated review: great tool, great developer *2020-12-27, version 4.2* Need a quick random NPC? This is a great solution. You can even generate several and save them for later. Also, the developer replies to these reviews, so if you have a problem, don’t hesitate to contact them! ## Frequently asked questions about NPCGen5e ### What D&D editions does NPCGen5e support?
