The app is a pretty good way of keeping your campaign organized. The only issue I have is when creating an NPC, monster, or entering player stats is that some of the fields do not work right. Specifically the saves field. The data that is generated after the input is wrong. If that can be fixed and all formulas are checked then I would give it a higher rating.
First time DM, I found this app and loved it! It's easy to use once you figure it out, it's helpful to link things and to really organize your campaign. The only thing that's causing me issues, the reason for it loosing two stars, is that it keeps losing my notes! It's infuriating to write down a whole description of how something works only to come back the next day and find that it's gone! It only has happened to a few notes, but I'm having to back them all up now. I wish they'd fix this!
Great app for DM's, except that creating multiple campaigns doesn't remove any of the creatures or items from previous ones. Purchased the premium, hoping for a more streamlined and less jumbled up mess of stuff. Was hoping that the old campaign things wouldn't clutter the new one, so that's something that def could use a fix.
It's basically a blank screen. Unless you nab a well put together ad on file somewhere you will be inputting most of the info your self. Where I agree flashy bells and whistles aren't needed in dnd apps (the action should be on the table) this is almost painfully drab to look at. It seems uninspired and redundant. The are some really great and fun d&d supplements & tools, this unfortunately is not one of them. (fight club 5e is what you want)
It is great... unless you want to keep your campaigns. Premium lets you make a new campaign, but it just is a copy of the other one and you have to delete everything, which will delete the previous one as well. The other premium features work, but I just wish I could keep all my campaigns and not have to write everything down so I can make it again if I ever want to play it again. If they could fix this, it would be great and worthy of five stars.
Doesn't get a full 5 stars because of one annoyance I have. I use the app mainly to catalogue my stat blocks for creatures and monsters but I always have to put them in a second time. They don't save when I go through it the first time, I have to go through it all again to get it onto my list.
When adding characters to the initiative there should be check boxes so you can just add them all at once instead of having to go in and add each one individually. Also, there doesn't seem to be any way to change the initiative order once they're added. Uninstalled.
Just downloaded the app. It needs an appearance overhaul, I can see what it can be used for but the UI isn't the greatest. Labels are scarce and thus makes it difficult to use at initial download. I think with some tweaks it could take the market by storm.
I had a bit higher hopes for this since I really like the other apps but I can't import anything from the other apps. You can make custom feats and other things for the character sheet builder but that won't matter when you import it because it doesn't convert and the import doesn't work anyway. I am REALLY sad about this because it is really the only thing like this out there.
Very wonky, if your going to have a dm app instead of a player/npc app, make sure its up to par with the original. The automatic structure within the 5e character sheet app is awesome and in great detail. You need that same automatic feature for this app to make it sufficent. (Or at least to get a better rating out of me.)
My review is based off comparing this to dming by hand. The ability to import monsters is amazing, you can google up monster json files for this and have a one time download for almost every monster. Encounters, adventures, players and loot is easy to add and create. Few things that could be fixed is adding more then the player to an encounter at a time. But tapping the screen 3 times for each player is better then writting each one out individually. Deffinatly worth the buy
*All selecting campaign does is vhange the name, but none of the presets within* It's a fantastic app, but there is a small problem. after you've constructed your first campaign, any "new campaign" will just be the same information you've input with a different title. So essentially you can make a single campaign for the time being. Other than that, I'm enjoying the structure and fluidity it gives me for running my campaigns!
I use the premium version for 4 months now and I'm running into the problem that my list of monsters and npcs are growing too large. I would like an option to multiselect so I could quickly delete some of them. it is still my go to encounter balancing tool when quickly improvising at the table.
Conceptually this app is amazing but it feels unfinished. Saving multiple campaigns is handy although being able to set encounters to specific campaigns would be an improvement. The ability to import and export both Characters and Monsters is very helpful. A quick google search nets you the SRD monsters for free (buy the app for enough storage) and makes initiative a mostly trivial process. This app would be perfect for me if there was an easier way to import or design monsters beyond the SRD
I can't import my character from your other app it says it doesn't have permissions and to contact the developer. I just purchased the full version specifically for this ability hopefully it can be fixed.
A few thing I think would be handy that you could add to the app (even though probably already thought of) is a way to organize the monsters into files of certaint types (such as undead, fey, ect.) and then by cr within files. Also make it more builder friendly by making a wiki/subreddit for them to post Homebrew imports in to support the new makers in the app. Over all I do like the app but there are a few bugs, such as notes deleting and duplicated monsters not always going through fully
I would probably enjoy it if not for the bait and switch. It advertised on its character sheet app saying it supported multiple campaigns, but conveniently forgot to mention you needed premium to get such things.
The experience is decent, but the saves don't automatically calculate based on the ability scores. Please fix this issue.
Seems to work well enough. it does seem that the proficiency modifier for the characters doesn't increase when increasing levels to the levels that would increase proficiency.
This feels slower to use than taking pictures and cropping the images. I still recommend the other app for the people I play with, but not this one.
I paid for premium to be able to have multiple campaigns, but when i create new ones it dosent sperate them, so ill have a few npc's in my first campaign, ill make a new campaign and all the old ones will still be there, this makes it very confusing.
That app is good for the most part but not very intuitive. Certainly requires a lot of trial and errors. Furthermore, there are still are bugs that need to be worked out. 1. My most prominent issue lies in whenever I have an encounter active. I could just be my android, but wherever I hit the back button on my android device (not the one in the app), it will end the encounter prematurely. 2. My second issue lies with my inability to edit existing characters/monsters. Besides that, great app!
