### 5/5 — Battle zoo Ancestries: Slimes?

*2025-12-22, version 32*

I like the app so far. Will you be including Battlezoo Ancestries: Slimes eventually?

### 5/5 — The best there is

*2025-12-09, version 31*

The best and there’s really no substitute. Best functionality, all the options, updates almost to the day with new published material. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2025-12-06, version 31*

So nice to have this on my phone now.  Redrazors is too awesome, always delivering great products!

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2025-11-23, version 29*

Easily one of the best TTRPG apps I’ve ever tried

### 5/5 — Great launch

*2025-10-25, version 29*

Easily the best character builder for Pathfinder 2e on the market, and the iOS launch is a stable, full-featured version of what you’ll find via web or Android.

### 5/5 — My favorite character builder app

*2025-10-24*

I've been waiting for a version to come out for iOS for years. Despite the other character builders that I've used in the past, pathbuilder is still my favorite due to the detail the creator put into the app and the ease of using it. Thank you David Wilson!

### 5/5 — Best way to Build a Pathfinder 2e character

*2025-10-24, version 29*

The definitive best way to streamline building a Pathfinder 2e character.
Have had it bought on desktop and android previously but it’s definitely worth each purchase with the amount of usage I get out of it.
I’m so glad I’m able to easily make characters in the car now.

Thank you so much Redrazors for all you’ve done for the community <3

### 5/5 — The best and the easiest!

*2025-10-24*

Pathbuilder 2e is hands down the best app for Pathfinder 2e players. It makes building and leveling characters super easy, and it keeps track of all the little rules and bonuses so I don’t have to. The layout is clean, everything’s easy to find, and it even updates with new content all the time.

I use it every session — it saves so much time and keeps the game moving. Whether you’re new to Pathfinder or a veteran, this app is a total game-changer.

### 5/5 — Spectacular

*2025-10-24, version 29*

Was using Pathbuilder 2e on a tablet for years and been waiting for the IOS version and thankfully it does not disappoint.   Pathbuilder 2e  is the best character creator and character sheet, period.

### 5/5 — Easy Auto download and upgrade

*2025-10-24, version 29*

Didn’t even have to think about it the moment I saw this app had released I knew I was getting the full version

### 5/5 — Absolutely needed and appreciated!

*2025-10-23, version 28*

I have enjoyed using Pathbuilder on the web for a few years now and this iOS app is exactly what I wanted since using it on the web. Thank you so much, RedRazor!

### 5/5 — One character builder to rule them all

*2025-10-22*

I have been using pathbuilder for years now on the pc. However, since I’m part of the iOS sheeple, I haven’t been able to enjoy the device app. Let me tell you, I was exile rates to just find out from a Reddit post that this was now an iOS app. I immediately downloaded, verified it was the same, and then purchased the full version. 

There is a free and purchased version. Now if your just starting out or are still new to pathfinder then the free version is going to suit you wonderfully. You will have access to everything you need to run your first adventures without a problem. In fact, when you print these out, you will have all the information you need explained and available. No additional spell cards needed.

With the paid, yes you get everything. If your a character goblin like me, then you’ll make plenty of use with a million characters you’ll never use. 

The app gives you explanations, references, and the freedom to really dive into the character building without having to scrounge the internet for all the details. 

I’ll be honest, I tried doing this myself once and quickly got overwhelmed. So I’m comfortable giving a one time payment for the iOS app, because I chipped at the Iceberg of what this is and was overwhelmed. 

I highly recommend.

### 5/5 — The best Pathfinder 2e character builder

*2025-10-22, version 28*

I’ve used the excellent web version for ages and I’m stoked that it’s now on iOS!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Greedy Devs Make You Pay Twice

*2026-06-02, version 41*

I bought pathbuilder already on desktop, and yet I cannot log in to my account and access the premium features that I ALREADY PAID FOR. For some reason, you have to pay separately for desktop and for mobile. A ridiculous and greedy app.

### 1/5 — Deceptive charges

*2025-11-27, version 29*

I payed for this product online. They artificially gate the website on mobile and want to charge full price again for me to look at my characters on mobile. This is greedy and deceptive.

### 1/5 — App Closing

*2025-11-03, version 29*

App now closes every time I try to view the defense or offense tab.

### 1/5 — Can’t import character from other devices

*2025-10-19, version 28*

Met with “an error occurred while fetching this character” whenever I try to import by ID even after adding the custom packs used. Will definitely update my review if this is fixed, as this is by far the best character creator for pathfinder, but for now it’s been a pretty frustrating experience.

### 2/5 — Great app but not paying twice for it

*2025-10-25, version 29*

Love the program but bought it on pc. Not going to pay twice for it though. Especially since most of my games are online

### 2/5 — Functionally fantastic, but needs work on iPad

*2025-10-14, version 28*

Pathbuilder 2e for iOS is great—it has all the features from the web version that has made it such a must-have tool for building and managing Pathfinder characters. The iPhone version would get 5 stars from me, but the iPad version loses three of those stars because it is basically the iPhone version, but wider. When in landscape mode on the iPad it should use the same layout as the web version. Also, the parchment look makes it extremely dated—not in a good way. Sorry David :/

### 3/5 — Reviewing the app

*2026-07-28*

I’m interested in Pathfinder 2e and was hoping this app would help me learn more about the game and create characters. Unfortunately, the character creation screen does not appear to work with VoiceOver. When I select the option to create a new character, VoiceOver only detects what seems to be a screenshot or image, with no accessible controls or choices. Activating it simply takes me back to the main screen.

I would really like to use Pathbuilder, but at the moment I cannot access its main feature. Please consider adding proper VoiceOver support, including labeled buttons, accessible selection menus, headings, and clear announcements for selected options. Better screen-reader accessibility would allow more blind and visually impaired Pathfinder players to use the app, which could also lead to more downloads and purchases. I hope accessibility can become a priority in a future update.

### 4/5 — Character options error

*2026-04-01, version 38*

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed since you’ve done more than 6 updates over the last 6 months and still managed to miss a problem where using mythic destinies as high level archetypes still aren’t showing up even if you include it as an option in character options settings. It works on browser version but specifically iOS is having this issue. Cloud saved my characters, deleted the app multiple times and reinstalled the app and still has the same problem.

### 4/5 — Almost there

*2026-03-11*

For starters, I like how simple this app is and the way it allows me to transition between PC and mold device so easily. Having it in app form allows me to test a lot of theories while on the go unfortunately, my biggest hangup is that the custom options seem a bit glitchy. When I try to create custom items, it has a tendency to clear the information in a previous box when I move onto the next. when I create homebrew storylines, I like to first create the items on my own account and then transfer it to the players while in GM mode. On PC this feature works great, but unfortunately, the app version likes to fight me on this. Hopefully an update will soon fix this.

### 5/5 — Seriously the Best

*2026-05-25*

I would say this is the best app to be honest. I play campaigns using it, roll dice, and it is easy to use. It can be overwhelming because it has everything, but that is because there is so much customization in pathfinder! Even then, you can add your own items if needed.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly good

*2026-05-21*

I have been using this app for a few months now and I have to say that finding this was quite the treat. I would have never expected something so good, it’s been useful for checking out combinations I can use and how characters I make end up so I recommend this app for people.

### 5/5 — Simply Perfect

*2026-03-25, version 37*

I’ve used this on other platforms but finally I can now on my iPhone.
Works great…. 

I have one suggestion, an option to cope and paste a character. So I can compare with different options and build paths at later levels. 

But it’s still a brilliant app!!

### 5/5 — Finally available on iOS!

*2026-03-18*

Great app, purchased the full version for the web browser before it was released for iOS, so I’m a bit bummed that I may have to re-buy for iOS, but it is super helpful, very complete.

### 5/5 — No more dedicated Pathbuilder device

*2026-03-11, version 34*

I had an old android phone that I kept when I switched to iPhone that had no other purpose anymore except to run Pathbuilder on. That’s how good this is app is. If this isn’t what you’re using my only question is: why? It’s definitively the best app for this game, it interfaces with VTT. It’s got all the stuff. It tells you when builds do or don’t meet prerequisites. Seriously, you should be using this. No subscription, just a one time fee if you don’t want ads. Every other game that is supported by an app should take notes from this one.

### 5/5 — The best there is

*2026-03-05, version 34*

The best and there’s really no substitute. Best functionality, all the options, updates almost to the day with new published material. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Native app!

*2026-02-23*

Very glad to be able to use the native app! Thank you for the update to resolve the ipad fullscreen issue! 
Potential bug - I can’t seem to copy character in the app and save them in the same folder. EX: copy from google drive to google drive, with a new name.

Also would it be possible to make folder inside google drive?

### 5/5 — A Labour of Love

*2026-02-21, version 34*

A truly fantastic app, built by someone with an obvious love for the game and the community that surrounds it.

### 5/5 — The BEST PF2e character builder and manager

*2026-01-07, version 32*

I’ve used the android version of this app for years and was disappointed that there wasn’t an iOS version when I finally added an iPad to my device family. I was so happy to find the iOS version, that I immediately spent the $6.99 to unlock full functionality without even using the app first. Redrazors does an excellent job bugfixing the app when something comes up (and does an excellent job prioritizing bugs for functionality) and keeps the database updated very quickly. All of the source references point to Archives of Nethys (official/semi-official Paizo online reference site) and new information from there is included as soon as possible after it’s available.

Whether you’re trying to organize a single character or theory crafting dozens, this is the best resource you’ll find out there.

### 5/5 — My Favorite Companion

*2026-01-01*

I simply can’t say enough about how thankful I am for this tool. Our party has been using the website version for multiple sessions and we all happily paid for the mobile app as soon as it released. 

The UI is pleasant and succinct. The ability to roll checks, customize buffs, adjust rulesets, find/upgrade items, etc. all so easily makes this app your best party member.
