We use it for several campaigns. The authors do a GREAT job keeping the database up to date. If I could organize my notes in the app (with folders, tags, or embedded notes), I’d up to 5 stars in a heartbeat. ### 5/5 — Smooth app *2025-01-27, version 1.97.1* Great app! Super smooth. Please add the Phalanx Soldier archetype! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Best Pathfinder character builder *2025-01-25, version 1.97.1* This app really has just about everything you need for making and playing pathfinder. The base version is great but you really need to get the expiation pack to get full use. The price point is great too for only a total 10$ you get everything, that is less than a Taco Bell meal or a good drink at Starbucks. Have gotten a lot of us out of the app and plan to use it for many years to come. Would be amazing to see them add 5th edition as a base version and/or an expansion pack. ### 5/5 — Missing LOTS of info but really well made *2025-01-17, version 1.97.1* So, I’m playing a Seducer Witch with the Enchanting Courtesan Prestige Class and even though literally NONE of the information I need to PLAY this character are on the app, it DOES have this really great “Custom” feature that allows you to fill in the missing gaps which has worked pretty well. I paid for all the bonus packs, thinking my missing information was in one of them, but I’m honestly not even mad about it because the app is fairly well done and the team seem very hands on and eager to help. Vvvv Having someone actually CARE enough to help me figure out how to build my character made me feel like I was dealing with a friend. Which is amazing. Also, they update information CONSTANTLY. I feel like every time I log on, I see “we’ve got an update, would you like to download it now?” 🥰 ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-01-16, version 1.97.1* Very good app. I just wish there was a setting to actually mix 3.5 with the pathfinder sheet. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-01-13, version 1.97.1* This app is honestly really amazing and has made creating a character so easily now. The app gives you the option to switch between Pathfinder and DND 3.5. The classes and races that the app provides are the basics from the core books. However, they allow you to add a custom class with whatever benefits and disadvantages a regular class might have. I would say the best thing about the app is the fact that it keeps track of your equipment. You’re carrying capacity your health and it’s free. I highly recommend it. Give it a shot test it out. Can’t go wrong. ### 5/5 — Fun, easy to use app *2024-12-01, version 1.96* This simple app has a lot of depth to it. Has really helped me switch over from 5e and I still get to have fun making characters with all kinds of custom options and all information available. Hoping to soon be able to add to the bestiary/familiar options ### 4/5 — Great, but missing some things. *2024-10-27, version 1.95* My preferred pathfinder character builder (Pathbuilder) isn’t available on iOS, and seeing as I now have an iPhone I wanted to find a replacement; this is the best alternative I’ve found so far, but it is missing some things, like most of the tiefling variations, an easy way to swap in alternative racial traits, and (though maybe I’ve just missed it) a way to edit a character once you’ve set their class. I’ve used the “custom race” option to build my Qulippoth Tiefling Barbarian, but I can’t figure out how to go back and change her class to apply an archetype— I don’t particularly want to rebuild her from the ground up, but I may have no choice. This would be a big help in my opinion! ### 5/5 — THE Pathfinder app for 1e *2024-09-26, version 1.94* This app has most everything you need and definitely a HUGE help in learning the system flawlessly. I do say almost because it doesn’t have every archetype within the expansion pack but the developers are actively updating and implementing them so you will have to be patient for everything to eventually be rolled out. The layout is clean and very easy to understand while also being quite modular. If there is one improvement I would like to make, it would be the option to edit existing characters to incorporate future archetypes that have yet to be added to a class. Other than that, this app gives you the option to add your own classes, feats, items, spells and even languages just to name a few. So far this has been the best option on the market and by a long shot. The cost for the expansion pack is almost too generous considering it incorporates everything + future updates while being a free app initially, and it’s a small price to pay to support the developers into giving us better content. All in all, I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Best character app for 3.5 i have ever seen *2024-09-19, version 1.94* Please add more prestige classes and stuff!!! Please!!! ### 4/5 — Great App! *2024-08-12, version 1.92* Our Pathfinder group has used this app for character tracking for the past 3 years. Its coverage of the vast rules system is pretty good, but understandably not 100%. Fortunately you can set up custom effects and so on to compensate for most gaps. The single thing our group probably finds most frustrating is the inability to track what languages a character knows, beyond the very limited set currently in the app’s database. But in terms of tracking the myriad complexities of effect stacking and combat modifiers, this app is outstanding. I heartily recommend it for anyone playing Pathfinder 1e. Can’t comment on its suitability for D&D 3.5 as our group isn’t currently playing that. ### 5/5 — Must Have for PF 1e *2024-07-20* Wow, I can’t believe you added the Omdura class! 😮 On behalf of the 1.33 players using this rare (but cool) class, thank you, thank you so much! Pathfinder is a complex system and it becomes a headache at high levels - this app is such an indispensable alternative to messy character sheets! Please keep up the good work 🙏 ### 5/5 — Amazingly helpful *2024-07-05, version 1.91* I use this exclusively over the old pen and paper sheets. Has helped me not miss any modifiers from feats, spell effects, conditions, etc that I momentarily had forgotten to add in the past. 1 request: can you guys add in monstrous animal companions? The monstrous mount feats opened up some possibilities and I would like to digitize the hippogriff companion paper sheet that I currently have to keep on the side. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2024-06-05, version 1.90* There isn’t an app I’ve found that has better value to content ratio. I’ve used a large swath of apps for pathfinder, 5e, 3.5, VtM, WotA, and even some that I rigged to play other ttrpgs. This is one of the best. The interface is easy to use, you can add custom content with a bit of entry, and the compendium is large and grows regularly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Missing large amounts of content. *2026-03-21, version 1.109* With the pathfinder 1e content all publicly available via archives of nethys or the pfsrd, there’s no excuse to not have all available content on this app. Charging an extra 7 dollars for what is not even the complete compendium of pathfinder resources is just salt in the wound ### 1/5 — Unsupported and much lamented *2025-02-19, version 1.98* I’ve been a faithful paid user of this app for several years and had no complaints until my principal character file was corrupted in a recent update; I reached out to “support” and could not even secure the courtesy of a reply, let alone any help to save the years of work that went into the file, which I no longer have any way to access at all; my backups are too old and starting over is out of the question. Repeated emails ignored, without so much as a “sorry we can’t help you fix the app we broke”. Very disappointing, complete letdown. ### 1/5 — Menu Bar Keeps Disappearing *2025-02-10, version 1.98* The six icons in the menu bar disappear every time I go into a different app, making the app impossible to use until it’s reset. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t have all canon races and classes *2024-11-26, version 1.95* I got this in hopes to get started learning to build a character for Pathfinder 1e but soon discovered I would have to teach it what I was talking about. ### 1/5 — Abzocke *2024-11-11* Man muss dafür zahlen nur die basic Klassen zu haben, dann ist fight club einfach besser… und für die anderen sachen muss man nochmal 8 euro zahlen-.- ### 1/5 — misleading scam *2024-08-21, version 1.93* of the 123 classes in pathfinder 1e, only 26 are availanle in app. of the hundreds of feats availavle in pathfinder 1e, only 186 are available in this app. there is no demo version of this app, you must pay money to find out that none of your character options are actually available on this app. this is a scam. its less effort to just make a spreadsheet from scratch, and im honestly furious that i payed 3$ to avoid having to do that only to find out that this app does not work for 99% of pathfinder characters. hopefully it gets removed from the store. ### 1/5 — Not worth paying for *2023-10-30, version 1.84* For an app already behind paywall, they sure put a lot of essential pathfinder content behind a larger one. If you want anything beyond the most basic pathfinder options and only a few classes, you need to pay closer to $10 to get the “dlc”. ### 1/5 — Too much missing content *2022-12-12, version 1.71* I play pathfinder. I paid for this app and severely regretted it. There is so much missing content in pathfinder, and not even just obscure stuff, but really common things that are pretty staple spells and options. Dont get for pathfinder. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t have all available races *2021-09-14, version 1.53* Just the barebones common races, nothing more. Not very clear about how to use the app, apparently you can add In your own stuff. how ever you even do that, I have no clue. Definitely won’t bother adding a whole race… looking for something quick and easy this isn’t for you. Lots of free apps to choose from. ### 1/5 — Treachery! *2021-07-17, version 1.51* I loved this app until the last update deleted half my inventory. Hundreds of hours of work carefully tweaking and organizing every item flushed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-11, version 1.112* Great app!! Continues to provide updates. Makes character creation, management, and leveling easy. Easy to add customization. ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-05-21, version 1.111.1* Probably one of the most comprehensive apps I’ve seen for dnd. I hope there’s more 3.5 content added with more races and classes because this has really been a game changer in the best of ways. ### 5/5 — Best one E character sheet until they broke it *2026-05-11, version 1.110* Best first edition, Pathfinder and 3.5 dungeons and dragons character sheet ever. Until they broke it. Now it’s all that useless. Yes you can still look up all the feet in both 3.5 and first edition Pathfinder. They have a lot of information. You can even make a character on either platform. Until you have to add equipment. They remove the ad button that allows you to equip items. Any and all items. This effectively broke the game. There is an edit button that goes absolutely nowhere. I used this for all my game, mastering characters. And the few playing characters when I was a player instead of a Game Master. Now I can’t use this app anymore. It was the best. Hands-down. The very best. It seems to win from hero to zero. ### 5/5 — Incredible helpful and easy to use. *2026-04-22, version 1.110* Incredible helpful and easy to use. I added in the effects of enlarge person in the conditions section and it made it super easy to get all the stat changes accounted for. I really like the from page access to wands with a charge counter ### 5/5 — Yo *2026-03-09, version 1.108* Need a warlock class 🪄🪄 ### 5/5 — Best character sheet app I’ve ever used *2025-11-14, version 1.106* This app is amazing and I love how it helps you create characters and level up without having to find a rule book ### 5/5 — Great app, here’s my suggestions: *2025-07-25, version 1.103* I have been using this app for a long time. I just want to suggest some features that could be very helpful. Allowing custom psychic disciplines, shaman spirits etc. would be nice, currently only domains and inquisitions are supported. Adding cohorts to the companion section, or a custom companion instead would be great. ### 5/5 — Awesome app, hoping for updates *2025-04-09, version 1.99* This is a great app for 3.5, I’ve used it for multiple different characters and campaigns. We recently started a pathfinder 2e game, so I’m hoping this app gets an update to support 2e. ### 5/5 — No limits *2025-03-14, version 1.99* I first want to say this app is amazing for creating characters for any campaign you may play for Pathfinder. The main thing I want to bring up however is the ability to customize and create your own database. I have recreated all the classes from “The Dark Souls RPG” into RPG Scribe and even created my own races and classes for a special infected for a modern zombie apocalypse campaign that I have currently going. No need to pretend you have something in your character sheet by adding it into the notes when you can simply create the item in your character sheet. Need that special item for another character? Easy simply click on that item and hit save to database. With my knowledge of how this app works I was even able to create 1 potion of every type of spell we would normally use, export it, and sent it to my whole party so that they can easily search it up and add it to their inventory. Anything you can think of can be created and anything missing from this app (For example: a feat, magical weapon, etc.) you can just simply create it in your database add it to your character and call it good. It’s has a slight learning curve but once you got the basics you know how to do the rest. As a DM and a player the export and import tools is the best for sharing databases. Be warned if you add something for custom campaigns (Example: Dark Souls RPG or my zombie campaign) that you make sure all entries start either a number, specific word, or even just the letter Z as the entries can start to not only clutter but confuse you if you have 3 different version of a dagger and you don’t know which one is the original. What if you only want to share a certain portion of your database? Easy! Just create a character, it doesn’t matter what their race or class is unless that’s something your planning on sharing. Give this character a name that makes sense for the export and start adding spells, weapons, items, feats, etc. to the character sheet and when you go to export the character the option “referenced entries only*” will allow you to share what is necessary with your friends. You will have to pay a few dollars to gain full access to all the content for the pathfinder side of this app but with everything you can do I’d say it was worth it! Not to mention this is by far the best dnd app I’ve seen on the mobile market. One downside is although 100% of PF1E is not in the app, as mentioned before you are able to easily add it into the app along side with frequent updates adding more content into the app. I wish this dev team would create an extension for this app that works for PF2E (even if it’s only core content) for people like myself who are interested in playing the system. ### 5/5 — Great Pathfinder 1e Character Management *2025-02-25, version 1.98* Easy to use. Customizable for those things not covered by the app. I wish they would add Mythic rules but even that can mostly be customized. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
