Using this to create maps for D&D, it's good but after paying £11 for all the content I was hoping for more. There are only 2 monsters you can put down and when adding food there isn't an option to remove it, meaning I can ruin the map and have to reload it. We need a lot more props as they are very limited. When placing a glass of wine on the table prop it was placed at the base of the table instead of on it, these are things that need to be tweaked for better creativity options.
Personally I love the app. I recentely installed it and have used the maps for various dungeons and dragons modules. The only thing that I would change is the amount of passages that are generated and the length of them; I know they say you can reduce the length of them but it doesn't really do anything.
A little too simple for my needs. I'm not talking props or textures, not the frills, I'm talking about rotating tiles (doors), creating rooms at angles that themselves are squared. And unless I missed it there doesn't seem to be an option to start with a blank map, you've got to generate one and then erase it manually. Seems only useful for very basic auto-generation.
Although this isn't the first program I've found that generates authentic looking dungeon layouts, it is the first one I've found that generates castle blueprints, sewer systems, and other genuine looking maps (albeit, most of the amazing ones you have to purchase). If they would only get rid of the "Christmas" and "Snowflake" maps I would give it a 5/5. I bet that it was cute during the holidays, but I personally don't care for Christmas even during the holiday season ... much less in March.
Would be great. But purchasing add on material is not functional. So you're locked in to the demo app with images of all the extras that you COULD GET, if you could purchase it, which you can't. Will rate again if this is fixed. Plenty of other FREE apps that do all the extra stuff (albeit with annoying adds, but at least you can use the features they 'include').
Only problem I have is that the controls can get a bit annoying sometimes when you want to move the screen but you end up drawing instead because you can't move the screen position while in the drawing tool. This is more a problem with the limitations of the mobile platform than the app though. Still the best app of it's kind that I can find.
I think the tool is great, and it is really useful. I use it often, and so far hasn't disappointed. I give it 4 stars because it really needs some esay customization options, for exame if you don't like what it generated, you could change or add walls, doors, etc. Other than that, it works great as a mapping tool for rpg games.
The map generation is useful for quick maps. For that reason it doesn't seem ridiculous to pay to unlock some more of the map styles. Lot of hate for it not being free, but hey, if they want free map generators there is always donjon, but it only really handles rooms and halls... which is about what you get with the free version. I would like it if there was an easy access pc version with a nice monochrome layout, but i'll work with emulators and transferring things if I need to use it for extensive planning.
Confusion: Stylus not supported? I just recently downloaded this app to see what all these bad reviews were talking about. Honestly I think a lot of people just want free goods, and can't afford upgrading a free service. I thought the costs were reasonable for the extras. My only gripe with this editing function at all is that I can't use my stylus to draw more accurately/precisely and my fat fingers are too sloppy. I have a samsung note 9, why would my stylus not work except to scroll menus?
This mapping tool is awesome. I can see myself using it for all my campaign lines. Relatively cheap starter kits, all in all, a VERY useful app. Draw backs/ downsides. I'd like to be able to randomly generate entire world maps, complete with cities, towns and fortresses as well. Maybe even through in color coded faction regions too. All so needs a few more tile painting patterns as well as what kind of tiles you can paint, IE pillers, statues, draw bridges.
Great app for small scale print outs. For what ever reason anything over a max 75y/60x grid the maps are cut off. Also, the ability to make a map without "abyss" (void areas of map) AND no background is not possible for some reason... leaving black and white prints almost impossible. Other than those few points I use this app for 75% of my dungeon maps.
It's such a great idea to make your own layouts and what not but there isn't a whole lot of it that is free, it's extremly limited to certain things you can do, like props? C'mon, give us a little sample of what's in store if you want us to buy the rest of it, like just simple things for free, tables, chairs and maybe some basic items and some more environment options, you guys have a good majority of them taken hostage. Like I said, great idea, but not enough to sample from to actually buy it.
I enjoy the app and its made a lot of progress from when it first came out. But there either is no way or I cant get it to work for deleting the food icons that you can generate. Accidentally made a bunch and had to rebuild this 75 by 75 map. Also the purchases aren't saved on the app so if you buy them and interenet goes out or isnt there because you are say deployed... it's beyond frustrating. All in all I think its a great tool with some bugs to fix still.
Not ideal for mobile but nevertheless a very useful tool for any dm, i would suggest using tablet over a phone, but you work with what you have. Had, and may still have(not sure how the bug is triggered/fixed), issues with purchased content, but after submitting a complaint it was fixed(either on its own or by the devs, not sure which as i never recieved a reply to my email). Had the issue while using a Galaxy S9+.
I love the app, it's relatively easy to use and the generator is pretty good in general, but my favorite part is that after generation is over you can manually change things. Use the generation as a reference for natural-looking terrain then edit away. The only thing it's missing is the ability to create or import your own custom tiles and tile sets. Edit: Thanks for your prompt response, if you could let me know when or if it's a sure thing, I'd be very grateful.
Great app and very helpful. Can make dungeon maps on the fly in brief period of time. Trouble is that sharing these maps, because some are very extensive while others are small enough for a tablet, is rather difficult. You either MUST use Reddit or take your device to a print shop that can handle the size of your map. You're not able to utilize more user friendly avenues i.e. Discord with screen sharing, or any of the other various social media applications that involve similar methods.
Easily a 5-star app but major issues make this nearly impossible to use for generating large maps. It takes a long time to screenshot a large map (100x75), about 2-5mins and always 1\4 of the screenshot is just a black or white box. Edit: rendering is ok now. New issue is that the map rename function doesn't rename the files even with permissions. So I'm just stuck to loading every single file to find a specific map.
Once you get used to moving about the interface, it's really useful to have a map maker at your disposal. And - for a mobile app - this is the best one. A lot of the features are behind a pay wall, but the features that are free are still more than sufficient to make good maps for your campaign.
Without paying you get like 4 things you can do though there's a lot you can do with just that. You probably won't be using the dungeons as they are but instead generating an idea then fleshing it out on graph or some other program coz you can't do that here without paying. Otherwise this app is fantastic for that, easily the best I've seen.
Terrible app, lets you make a random map and look at it, but nothing else. In order to do the most basic things, you have to take out your wallet and pay $50 just to do the most basic of things like placing an item on the floor or a table in a dining room. Do not download this app, also because if the app is accidentally uninstalled, you lose your purchases permanently!
I spent approximately 15 minutes, and completed the layout my first map! It was super easy, intuitive, and I had no issues with the map functionality. It operates super smoothly on my galaxy s7, and I fell in love. Immediately made the full purchase, and look forward to sharing this with my group!
I found it very easy to learn, and I find it to be a very useful tool. There seems to be a current bug with printing (at least on some devices) where the map is cut off in places (the left and right edges for me) if that were working I would rate 5 stars.
Honestly i love this app. Its awesome and very well made with lots of things to add to any dungeon your create. The only downside is I think theres a bug with the props list. Occasionally the list itself wont appear and i have to reset the app to fix it. Other than that, perfect.
I really wanted this to work. First time as a DM I thought this would really save me time on my homebrew but it's hard to navigate this app, some of the controls dont make sense, there is no key to understand certain symbols it already laid out. This has potential but i think I'm gonna have to try something else for now because I've spent too much time trying to figure this out. Once they make some kind of key and possibly a short tutorial mode ill come back and try it again.
It seemed cool at first with all the different kinds of dungeons and parameters. I like how you can edit the maps. After lots of experimenting, I found a problem. There are only a few maps it can generate and some of the parameters make absolutely no difference. For example, I set parameters to give me a few rooms with simple hallways. I changed it to complex hallways and got all the same few results as before. I also don't like that you can't move the monsters and they change the map sometimes.
