Great App, but the Mac app no longer works
I love this app! I’ve been using it for years and it has the nicest interface and most complete spell list, without having to pay for add-one like in some other apps.
Sadly the Mac app no longer works on the newest version of MacOS. I hope the developer creates a new version, even if it becomes a paid app on the Mac App Store.

Used it for years!
Thanks for your work on this app!
Good but needs better filter system.
Very useful on the fly but the Mac version is better in that you can filter by spell level, class, and school. This App only allows for you to filter each of those things separately, making you search a giant amount of spells.
There's an app on the android market like this & it's Free
I honestly didn't want to spend 8 dollars on a spell book app but it's the only thing for IOS. This app isn't horrible it just won't really allow you to download anything but the basic SRD spells. Out of the tons of spells available you're stuck with the players handbook.
Non-functional
Paid $8 for an app that doesn't work. Even the default references that the app has built into it don't download correctly. Completely unusable in it's current form and a waste of $8.
Crap
Waste of 8$. Links don't download spell books right
Needs an update
Was great, but for some reason, it won't update the Pathfinder Spellbook. The Pathfinder Spellbook was the reason I bought this app in the first place. Update?
Not what I thought it was
I thought I could use this app to create a custom spell book for my pathfinder character. All it does is recreate what I can get for free on the d20pfsrd website. I feel like I wasted $8. Very disappointed.
Almost perfect!
This app is a great resource for spells, but this could be even better if there was a way tokeep track of which spells you were preparing and using, as well asbeing able to mark which ones have been used already.
But wait! There's more on my review
I read on the app support that there was a computer program (much like SpellGen) that was compatible with this app. I like the fact that one exists, but is there a way we can get this app to be Windows PC compatible? I have an iPad, but run a Windows PC.
Another suggestion would be to have the ability to create multiple spellbooks in case of high party member mortality rates. A way to save spellbook by character in app, and the ability to prep and cast spells with a way to track spell components would be great too. I figured that since I was wishing on screen, I could go ahead and wish for the moon :-)
Please email me with any resources that are compatible with my setup. Thank you.

Incredibly useful!
wonderful app, it's definitely a time saver when playing or running my pathfinder games. I really enjoy the filtering options and its smooth interface.
hopefully in up coming updates it will allow filtering by all three of the filters at once, such as filtering all wizard spells that are 3 level and are in the evocation school. Also a wonderful addition for be to allow the user to create custom spell lists, as to keep track of the spells a particular character has for quick reference.

Fantastic app
I can't believe the whiney negative reviews! Do people think these are "real" spells?? Of course the app doesn't tell "how" to cast the spells... It is for RPGs...
This app is simple to use, intuitive, updatable, you can switch between 3.5 and Pathfinder in a snap. I use this app at every game session. I love this app and highly recommend it if you play a caster in D&D or PF.

Bad
Completely leaves you in the dark on how to do anything so your sitting there with nothing in the book how hard would it have been to just copy the spells over
Perfect
I've owned the app since its initial release and I love it. It works exactly as I need. I use it weekly.
THIS THING STINKS!
THIS THING STINKS! IT WON'T TELL ME HOW TO DO THE SPELLS,IT ONLY TELLS ME THE EFFECT,WHICH ONLY INFURIATES ME MORE! I'M SICK AND TIRED OF SPENDING MY MONEY ON APPS I DON'T NEED! IF YOU AGREE WITH ME, DON'T GET THIS APP. I GOT IT FOR MAKING SPELLS,SO I SPEND 8$ ON THIS JUNK.SERIOUSLY!
Can't create book on iPad
I bought this program for my cleric character who needs to memorize spells daily. While I can see all the spells I created on my Mac, it will not let me create a new spellbook on my iPad. I was hoping for the feature to create a book and move spells from the main list to the new book for daily use and then delete it when I learn more spells. If this feature got implemented, I'd easily give it 5 stars (especially for the price of the iPad app)

Good idea, but flawed
While the premise of this App is good, but it messes up the SRD files too much when it imports then (I've checked, the SRDs are correct). It does this most with Saving Throws and SR, which it either omits or mixes them up. Fix this bug, and I'd find this a lot more useful in a game (I'm relying more on real books than the App at this time).

Not cheap, but...
What makes this app better than the others I own (and thus worth more to me) is the FREE Mac app that integrates with it. I find it easy to make lists of spells for individual characters and sync them with my iPad. If the price bothers you, try the Mac app and see if you like it. The iPad app also works well with VoiceOver (important for having your device read out the details to you or everyone playing).
I would like to see more scope for nanaging spells while you are playing, but I'm not sorry I bought this app.

Works well, lots of information
Spells are broken into Spells, Schools, Levels, and Classes, which is helpful. Choosing between d20 or Pathfinder spellbooks is also helpful. The search is fast and the search results show classes and levels for the spell. Is it worth $7 more than Spells 2.08? As a new player, I don't think so.
Issue with spell names
Some spell names are listed as a website url which makes them difficult to find. Would like to see the ability to create your own spellbooks within the app. A bit pricey as well for what it does.
