Crashes when giving party member a condition.

I really like this app and it is very helpful as a healer to keep track of health of my party. But when I add a condition to the party member, the app crashes. I add condition- crash. Remove- crash.
Pretty annoying. I just now don’t add those to the app and will just write it down.
Would be higher rating if it wasn’t for the crashing.

As a DM, I love this so so much!

I am so glad to have this much customisation. Though I’d love to see two features added if possible: Custom icons + compendium types. Especially since I’ve added many new things to the game, such as conditions. Beyond that, I love everything about this app.

The last DM tool you will need.

After 20 years of DMing in Dungeons and Dragons I have finally found the absolutely best tool for managing campaigns, sessions, and encounters. With tools for character/PC management, encounter/initiative tracking, note taking and organization, and not to mention a digital DM screen that seems to be unendingly customizable...the price of $2.99 is beyond a steal. I easily would have paid $20 or more for such a piece of software. Or even a subscription price. With the additon of some downloadable content update provided by the developer on their Discord, it rounds out everything so well. I will admit that I struggled a bit trying to get my head wrapped around everything available, but after maybe a couple hours I was so excited with everyth8ing I could do. There are VERY few problems that I have but nothing app breaking or even annoying enough to dock the app a star (not being able to add multiple characters at once into encounters, navigation from some pages to others doesn't seem to always put me where I feel I should be). All in all, buy this app. If you are a DM, you owe it to yourself.

Oh my…!

This is such an amazing utility. It certainly doesn’t replace my books but it’s pretty darn close. The navigation takes a little getting used to but it is fairly intuitive once you go through a few screens. There’s a balance between automatically populating data and keeping it free form enough to allow for tweaking things to fit my needs. I’ve run various games over 35 years and have used a lot of different tools (screens, apps, etc.). Prism may be the one to rule them all. For my next campaign I plan to make this the only thing I use outside of the books.

Character web/map is the best part

To be honest, google searching things feels just as efficient as most of this apps functions, but I love the character map. Please allow me to change the size of each character bubble and I will give you 5 stars!!! :)

Awesome app!

I was looking for a really good app because I had just started learning how to DM. This app made it really easy and plain as day to making an epic campaign! I HIGHLY recommend for any DMs that want to keep track of information easier.

Love this, wish there was cloud sync

I love this app and am currently using it on my iPad to run my campaign. I wish there was the ability for cloud sync or to copy a campaign to another device though. I’d love to use it on my phone for quick reference without have to completely rebuild the campaign a second time

howdy, you can export a campaign via the campaign list > three dot button > export. This will produce a file that you can transfer to your other device. Hopefully that helps until we get cloud syncing in place :)

Just bought today and I’m really enjoying it!

I almost gave this 4 instead of 5 stars because I wish it were a bit easy to figure out some things. I’m having through figuring out if I can edit the screens cards and campaign cards, but I decided to go with 5 stars anyway because I have yet to check out the discord and I read in other reviews that that can be super helpful! I’m hoping that if I’m unable to edit the pre-organized DM screen that in a future patch I might be able to because, while things like different race names, actions in combat, and conditions are grouped together, the different class tables are not and there are some other things that I would prefer to rearrange. Just some things that are my personal preferences but this app is by far the most extensive and useful DM tool I’ve been able to find. I highly suggest getting it on Mac if you can just because it’s easier to navigate all the information than on a phone/iPad. Hope to see more content from the developers because it’s an awesome app!

thanks for the awesome review! The dm screen is definitely one of the strengths of the dm app. While some of the content is hard coded and uneditable, you can change the groups of content by editing the "master" dm screen by accessing the dm screen from the campaign list (the screen you reach when you first open the app) > top left button > screen. This screen is the screen that gets copied when you create a new campaign. So if you group items here, they will be grouped for any new screen that you create. Hope that helps :)

It’s Coming Together

I love what the team is doing, the PrismScroll app is AMAZING! This app is very good as mentioned in the other reviews, but I have a few things I would like to request:

1. A better way to add maps to a campaign. It isn’t very intuitive to use and it may even be nice to have the option of creating your own maps from within the app.

2. The encounter is a bit weird and whenever I start an encounter I can never figure out how to have it roll initiative for me for the monsters(the characters I get why, I don’t roll for them), but it would be nice to have the option to have it roll initiative for the monsters.

3. Where is Dragon of Icespire Peak? That is the current game I am running and the option isn’t there, I would request that it be added.

Anyway, this is a great app with lots of potential, I could see myself giving this app a 5-star review down the road once it has been fully flushed out. Keep up the good work developers!

Hello Revel and thank you for taking to write this in-depth review! Take a look at my responses below: 1. I agree with you on this for sure. I think a goal would be to have the import buttons that you normally use for importing the batch file to be more of a catch all where it would be a little smarter and know what file type is being imported and where it could possibly go in the app. 2. As far as this goes, I think it should already roll initiative for the monsters. I will have to check but I think that there should be an option to reroll initiative for all/all non player characters, so I think that is something I could do 3. As far as the campaign options go, they don't really serve a "purpose" besides just being a label, so I would recommend just using the custom option. I can add that campaign to the list though, thank you Thanks again and please reach out on the discord if you have any other questions or suggestions

The best, hands down.

Keeps things organized and running smoothly. Information is easily accessed and input into your campaign. An essential tool for anyone that enjoys digital aids.

Needs updates here and there

It’s an amazing app for organizing your campaign and sessions and great for note taking and building characters. I would like if in a future update, you would be able to change relationships in the character web and have more than three levels. Like there is Enemy, Neutral and Friend. So if maybe there was a way to change the relationships and more than the three basic relationships. But overall an amazing app with lots of information. :)

Awesome! I am super glad that PrismScroll has been useful for you. As you continue your dm journey, be sure to reach out via social media or our discord with any suggestions that you would like added

A good start to a great DM tool

I’ve been on the look out for a decent DM tool to use during my games. I have found a few apps that are ok at a few things. But none of which have had a solid foundation for the future. The PrismScrollDM app has that solid foundation to build upon. The UI is clean and useful. The performance is outstanding, and further more the developer/developers are responsive and always willing to answer your questions.

If I could wish for anything, it would be that PrismScrollDM would take some ideas of out the app Encounter+

I feel like the Prism team could make a much better, more refined version of that app. They certainly have the fan base.

Hello Joshua and thank you for the review! The faith that you have in our products to grow reinforces our own belief for what we want to see PrismScroll become. I had actually talked with the developer(s) of Encounter+ a bit about there tv functionality. I think their product is awesome and has some pretty great functionality. I definitely think you are right in that there are things we could learn and apply to the PrismScroll way of doing things. Stay tuned!

Absolutely Wonderful

Much like all of the PrismScroll products, it is still in the works. But even so, this is an astonishing starting point and already has the makings of a complete app. They are continually making updates on the apps and I have loved being here every step of the way! Cannot wait to see where this goes.

100% recommend this app.

Amazing, but...

I think this app is great! I use it both as a player to keep track of what has been happening in our sessions and now as a new DM to organize my thoughts clearly. The one thing I have noticed would make a world of difference for me is that the notes feature for sessions is nice but could be refined a bit. If there were a feature in the app similar to the journal in the character sheet app (that could show locations, events, etc) in the dm app maybe accessible in the hotbar at the bottom or in the session menu, I could keep track of everything a lot better. Thanks for the amazing app!

Hello BrokenHalo, Thank you for the review! Yes, that improved notes feature is something we can definitely do. Look for that in the next update coming out in the next week or two :)
