### 2/5 — Needs 5.5e update

*2026-05-25, version 7.0.14*

Only has 2014 spells

### 2/5 — Hobbled without Premium *Subscription*

*2026-04-10*

This looks like it might be a great app, but only if you subscribe (for $2/month or $10/year), and you can’t tell if it really is good without subscribing. The free app can’t compete with the basic functionality in other free apps. Now, I’ll pay for a good app, but I won’t tolerate a subscription unless the nature of the app requires substantial ongoing investment by the developer. This app is decidedly static, so I won’t even consider a subscription. The only thing they need to do is add spells from new books, when one comes out, and they could provide those as one time in-app purchases. Paywalled features include adding spells from other classes, access to various books, adding subclasses, tracking spell slots, etc. You *might* be able to use it for a basic character from the PHB, but even a little bit of complexity would require a subscription. The UI doesn’t mark paywalled features, so you have to blunder into the upgrade dialogs until you learn what to avoid. On the up side, it’s pretty, the art for the spells seems like it would help quickly recognize spells, and it seems easy to use. When you set up your character you get to set race and variant, class and variant, level, and spell casting attribute. It could automatically calculate everything including available spells, # of spells known, spell slots and special spells granted by various factors. Could is the key word there, who knows if it does.

### 4/5 — Needs An Update

*2026-04-02, version 7.0.14*

I’ve enjoyed using the app, but it needs an update with the 2024 content. I’ve stopped using it since the content is no longer current.

### 4/5 — Multiclass?

*2025-08-16*

Love the app! Everything looks and feels great! Very easy to use and so helpful. only issue I have is there is no option for character multiclass. I can do only one class so for my most recent character I have to just favorite spells to remember what I have. Also not a big fan of having to pay for a subscription for some features. I could understand a single payment but not multiple. BUT it is a really good app so I did pay for it, worth, just not super happy about it.

### 4/5 — I love it!

*2025-06-10, version 7.0.14*

I love this app, clean and clear with perfect descriptions and beautiful illustrations. I would love to have the ability to multi-class in her as that is something I frequently do!

### 1/5 — L game

*2025-04-26, version 7.0.14*

I can’t look at my Homebrew spells

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-03-16, version 7.0.14*

This app is extremely useful and saved me endless time scrolling through spell descriptions in the player’s handbook. A downside is that some spells are locked behind a premium subscription

### 4/5 — There’s Just One Thing

*2025-01-20*

I really love this app and it’s super useful to me as a DM. There’s just one thing, and it’s that Satyr isn’t an option you can select as your race. If that were added as an option, I think this app would be basically perfect

### 5/5 — Great Tool

*2025-01-14, version 7.0.14*

Has all the 5e spells nicely consolidated! Hoping they make/add the 2024 reworked spells soon!

### 4/5 — Great reference app, but in dire need of an update

*2024-12-18, version 7.0.14*

Any plans to update the spells to reflect 5e 2024?
