What's New in RPG Books

5.6

March 14, 2017

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. - More good news! d20 Modern is now available in RPG Books! - Fixed in-page search for 5e and d20 which accidentally broke in the previous release. - Some other cantrip-sized layout tweaks. Please keep the reviews, bug reports and feedback coming! It's what keeps a poor indie developer cranking out improvements! Is there a feature missing? Is there a system reference document which should be available in the app? Let me know. Cheers from @ufisk

Ok for pathfinder meh for 5e

I remember this app being just amazing for my pathfinder games with my friends. It was a great reference and had most content for that game. 5e on the other hand is a bit annoying. A lot of the content just stops abruptly. Like not giving you all of the schools for you wizard, just one… It is a good reference for spells though.

Keeps losing bookmarks

An OK, if not exorbitantly expensive, app that's inferior in just about every conceivable metric to "PFRPG rd" which is sadly not in the app store anymore & cannot be installed on iOS 14.5, leaving a "beggars can't be choosers" situation. It mostly works, albeit in a clunky fashion. Not nearly as streamlined or as powerful as the aforementioned "PFRPG rd". But the inability to retain bookmarks through an OS reset is **SERIOUSLY annoying**! That needs to be addressed at a minimum. Even if it is, it'll always pale to "PFRPG rd" which is much more feature rich.

Go to App

I’ve used this for years and it’s been my go to App for all things Pathfinder. Only degrading one star since it hasn’t been updated in 3 years.

I would also love to see PF2 and Starfinder support.

Incomplete Catergories

I just want to write saying that there are some incomplete categories, especially the feat page. I hope that this issue can be fixed soon. Thanks.

Maybe I don’t get it...

Just google what you need? There is a free SRD website for 3.5 / 5e / Pathfinder. I don’t understand. They are charging money for what WotC literally gave away for free and, I think, said you COULDN’T charge money for.
