Cool app

Great app, super useful... unfortunately uses generative AI for the monster photos and endorses the use of it. This kind of AI does not belong in fantasy!!

Better than the old app

This app has a very complete compendium and the combat system is so much easier to use and doesn’t delete your combats like the old one did and it’s less prone to crashing. All we need now is the rest of the content and the app to fully release.

Finally a clear app

Have been looking for an app that has character sheets with all the info and has all content and this is the one. Well done and thank you!

App no longer works

Worked great for months but today it suddenly crashed and now refuses to open. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the offload option and restarting my phone in between but nothing seems to get the app working again. I’m hoping this gets fixed as I have been pretty happy with the app prior to today. -update: still not working. Dev reached out asking if latest update fixed this issue and it has not. It does manage to load the first screen but immediately crashes before any options can be selected.

Response from developer

Hi Acanthaceae, I'm very sorry about that... I released a new version that should fix the issue. Please let me know if it works well for you, otherwise I'll keep digging. EDIT: thanks for confirming, and I'm sorry to hear that the update didn't fix it. Would you be able to tell me what device (iPad or iPhone) and what iOS version you're running on? That might help me narrow things down. You can send me an email to feedback@blastervla.com in case you don't want to put that information here

Great App

The app is great, it feels easy to use and the homebrew creator is great. I recommend using this to my party

Overall great app and I recommend it. I hope that as new content comes out like a new book or UA the dev will keep adding to the list of content.

Love it

Great app! Simple to use. Has , literally, all the classes and spells. Adding anything new or homebrewed is super simple. Each update l, LITERALLY, improves the experience.

Poor layout

The layout is very tedious and unusable at times

Help Needed

I have been using this app for months, since last year around my birthday.
But, Wednesday night I tried to update the systems and resources, but I did not have internet connection, the update failed of course.
Nothing happened yet, but later while I was using the app it closed out.
Since then, whenever I open the app, it crashes and closes me out.
I’ve tried offloading the app and powering off my device, but none of it has worked.

Unskippable ads?

I don’t mind ads to keep the app free. Such a well designed app so far but if I want to level up I get stuck in a loop viewing ads for 30 seconds that don’t let me skip them!

Bugs

Bugs in the companion section. Makes it so you can’t delete companions, at three half the screen is greyed out and makes the companion section unusable

Great upgrade

This new upgrade from the old app appears to have great potential to be even better then the original. The only gripes I have are that I would want the ability to roll stats in the character creation menu and that the numbers on the character sheets are little small and should be a little bigger.

Fantastic app but folders pls

This app is the objectively the single best dnd app to exist. The only thing I wish is that you could put the character sheets into folders.

Artificer

Hey I like the new app so far, allot of 5e stuff is missing from 5e and I’m waiting for artificer to be put in 5.5 because they released that a while back.

Good app, but could definitely use some improvements

The great thing about this app is that it has pretty much most of all the items, stab blocks, etc. But there is one thing that is quite bad, the character creator. The creator doesn’t show you some stuff, for example, when I was creating my cleric, it didn’t once showed me the divine orders, so I had to manually add the spells and manually add to arcana and religion. So, overall, it’s a great app to look up something, but not a very good app to create a character in.

Fantastic for concise character info

This little app, and it's predecessor have helped me flesh out around fifty ready to play DND characters with unique backstory, character concepts, and stats. It gives you so many options at your fingertips that you're bound to click on something, then just take that idea and expand on it until a character forms before your eyes. Great use of unearthed arcana, and lesser known subclasses also helps the creative wheels start turning.

Best

I’ve tried dozens of apps for dnd and this is the best that’s free for sure.

Artificer please :3

I would be really happy if you add artificer to the class list please.

app crashes and refused to reopen

i made a character for a campaign and part way thru the session the app decided to crash and never open again and if i delete the app i lose my character do not ever use this app to save important character information much less anything related to the campaign you are playing

Good App just needs improving.

Actually a pretty good app. My biggest concern however did occur with this app and I hope it gets adjusted to be able to accomplish this.

I tried to make a Celestial Warlock and to my knowledge it gets access to Cure Wounds amongst other spells that Warlocks don’t commonly get.

But no amount of filtering helped me select cure wounds and the other needed spells it gets up to lvl 5.

And I imagine this would occur for other sorts of subclasses as well.

Now, you CAN create spells but as you can imagine that’s kinda annoying and the inconvenience defeats the purpose of using a builder in the first place.

But this app has a lot of potential.

It does have ads but they aren’t invasive as so many other apps. Keeps it free.

I look forward to this app getting updates tbh.

Hi! You should be able to access those spells simply by removing the "Warlock" filter when searching for your spell. Just tapping on the search bar and pressing the X on the Warlock filter should do the trick. Hope this helps! Please feel free to email me at feedback@blastervla.com if you have additional questions or need help. I'll be happy to lend you a hand :)

Good but needs work

All my monk unarmed and weapon attacks have modifiers based on strength instead of dex, which is the new class standard as per the dnd 2024 version. I want to use the app but this makes attack rolls and damage calculations confusing. A change here would change my review and make me pick this app back up.
