But the hint system is totally illegible. Would strongly suggest a plane white box with black text instead of neon colored boxes with white text. I can’t make any sense of it. ### 4/5 — I love it but- *2021-03-13, version 1.3.0* I really like this app, but I can’t see what I’m assuming is the tutorial. There isn’t enough contrast. ### 3/5 — A good tool, but... *2021-02-12, version 1.3.0* The editing to your character is minimal after you finish the sheet, and paladins aren’t given spell slots or spells to use even though they have a multitude of spells to use. There should be more customizability. ### 3/5 — Great Formatting, just wish it updated more. *2020-10-26, version 1.3.0* Love the way the app looks and works, just wish it had more books. ### 3/5 — Text font *2020-08-19, version 1.3.0* How do you change the color of the text in the tip bubbles? ### 4/5 — Amazing, one suggestion *2020-07-20, version 1.3.0* Incredible app. Will change to 5 star if they add a fix for tips not showing properly in dark mode, since I use that regularly. 5 bucks for a year? Hell yea... ### 3/5 — Needs a Color change *2020-06-27, version 1.3.0* The tip bubbles are white on the lightest mint green they could find. Meaning you can’t read a single thing. It’s a good app and honestly I would give this five stars if it weren’t for the text color. The text color should be black or the background colors should be a darker color. ### 4/5 — Liking it so far *2020-04-14, version 1.2.0* But are there any plans for more content to be released? Still impressed with what’s available! ### 4/5 — Pretty Good *2019-11-06, version 1.2.0* While this is pretty much everything I was hoping for in a character builder regarding experimenting with builds and keeping track of characters I had, there is one issue that pops up. I want to make a fighter who uses a whip, just as a fun build, but the Exotic Weapon Proficiency selection is always the last step, which means I cannot choose to have Weapon Focus with that weapon, as the app does not recognize the proficiency until after the focus is chosen. I would like to see an ability to edit feats so that I could do this without forcing extra feats or anything weird. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2019-05-27, version 1.2.0* Literally the only thing that stopped me from giving it 5 stars was no option for enchanting items. ### 4/5 — Helpful *2018-07-02, version 1.2.0* Super helpful when making characters or just using it to keep track of them. I would just like to see more books added so I don’t have to riddle the notes page with what random feat/spell actually is. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t read *2024-03-29, version 1.3.0* The color of the text compared to the background makes it unreadable this app requires a dark mode ### 1/5 — Cool Idea, Can’t read anything *2023-08-08, version 1.3.0* Seems like it’s been said before in other reviews but not addressed in the app…light colored text on a light colored background makes it way too hard to read ### 1/5 — Can’t see anything *2023-02-02, version 1.3.0* I was unable to use the app as I couldn’t even read the pop up boxes with instructions since the background was a pale green with white text over it. ### 1/5 — Not good *2023-01-20, version 1.3.0* Not a good game ### 1/5 — What’s with the super light colors? *2022-09-16, version 1.3.0* I could not read anyone of the pop up boxes that were a light green with tiny white font. Impossible. I deleted the app. Come on Nexus! ### 1/5 — Horrible UI makes it practically unusable *2022-05-28, version 1.3.0* I can’t use this product, it’s too ugly to look at. Whoever thought making white text on a bright neon green background the choice for their constant spamming tips that pop up needs to be slapped upside the head. None of their UX choices are customizable to fix their terrible design choices. ### 1/5 — How to read? *2022-02-24* I don’t know what possessed the people who made this app to use white font on a pale green background but it’s literally unreadable. There is no option to change to dark mode to get black font or dark background but i can’t read anything that comes up. I don’t know whether the box that’s on screen is important or just a tool tip as the words and 99% invisible. ### 1/5 — Very poorly thought out *2020-02-26, version 1.2.0* Why do I have to go through a character creation process? I need to be able to just enter stats. ### 1/5 — Awful *2018-08-14, version 1.2.0* You can hardly use any races or level up to level 4 without paying for subscription I can find a free creator online called orc pub if you are thinking of getting this ### 2/5 — Looks decent but bad prompts *2023-01-07, version 1.3.0* Yeah it look good at first but having light green on white text makes it almost impossible to read what said in the prompts. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome but.. *2022-09-01, version 1.3.0* I can barely read the text Because a lot of the text is a very close color to the background behind it ### 5/5 — Useful and helpful! *2021-11-17, version 1.3.0* Useful, helpful, and makes playing more easy by having all the PC info all there in the palm of my hand😊highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Over *2021-08-13, version 1.3.0* Chechen ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-07-17, version 1.3.0* Absolutely love this app! It’s so easy to use, perfect for theory crafting. My only complaint would be that I wish there were more books added to the source material. Maybe more will be added later? Fingers crossed? Still very easily a five star rating. Great job and thank you for making my life easier. ### 5/5 — Color choice *2020-06-29, version 1.3.0* Would be amazing if the tip bubbles weren’t in white font on the lightest shade of cyan and yellow possible. Edit: I didn’t think to change out of dark mode! Thanks so much, now I can use the app to its fullest. It’s great to have a digital reference! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2020-03-15, version 1.2.0* Though could do without an instructional manual to get started lol ### 5/5 — Well done player app *2019-04-14, version 1.2.0* This is built on the greatest app that almost came to be. Morningstar, Dungeon Scape and Playbook. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2018-06-18, version 1.2.0* This app is great! 👌👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👍👌👍👌 ### 5/5 — I will never go back to playing Pathfinder without this app! *2018-05-07, version 1.1.1* This is one of the only pathfinder apps that doesn’t look like a 90s website programmed by a drunk kobold! I tried a ton of other apps, paid and free, and this one is in an entirely different league - it does ALL OF THE WORK. Kudos to the developers, and I hope they continue to add more features to what is already by far the best Pathfinder app (I would LOVE a tile where it tracks hp with damage/heal buttons and an immersive overlay over a customizable picture of my character, like in Baldur’s Gate!) ### 4/5 — Good but the color choices for text and boxes are horrible *2021-06-17, version 1.3.0* Overall a well done and functional app. However the choice of incredibly light colors for everything from Text to backgrounds makes almost everything in app impossible to read without far, far more effort then is necessary. If you want to keep the light colors please give us the options for black text because this genuinely hurts my eyes to read half the information listed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
