Hero Lab Character Import Lite
It is unfair to leave a 1 star review complaining it doesn't create a character when it is highlighted in the description!

Just a quick note about the promised updates (21st May 2016):
I have had a few emails lately about the features I have been promising to bring to the app.
Admittedly I put that there were new features coming a long time ago, but since then I have started a new job and had to dedicate a lot of time to family, and as I develop the app in my spare time, progress has not been as fast as I'd like it to be.
Additionally the current app is not very maintainable and therefore hard to add new features without breaking things, I therefore have started from scratch for v2.x, this means it will take longer but already have a group of testers testing the new xml/portfolio importer.
Hopefully the approach I have taken this time will allow me to expand beyond just supporting Pathfinder and offer support for 5e etc...

Download "Hero Lab Character Sheet" from the Google Play store to have the same experience without ads.
Hero Lab Character Sheet Lite allows you to import .por files generated by Hero Lab to create dynamic character sheets for use on your Android device.
If you want a character sheet app for your device but don't want to enter all the information manually onto your device, Hero Lab can do all the hard work of creating your character for you, and then just use email, Google Drive or Dropbox to import it into the App and make your character sheet mobile.
When you want to level up, just update your character on Hero Lab, email/Google Drive/Dropbox it to yourself and re-import!
Features include:
*Custom Dice rollers*Stat Linking
- allows adjustments to stats to filter through to other areas of the sheet such as Skills and Attacks*Multiple character sheets, easily managed through tabs*Keep track of spell casting, health, subdual damage etc...*Campaign notes*Interactive help*Critical Focus (Pathfinder)
Things to note:
*Read the help screen on first load
- it answers most questions!*My D&D group play Pathfinder, so all my knowledge for Stat Linking etc.. is based around that rule set, if it is not to your liking, simply switch the extras off in the options menu!*All code used to make the character sheets look is my own.*Stat Linking does not affect damage done by bows, as the .por does not identify Composite bows, if the name and description is custom and did not use the word "Composite" the app would have no way of knowing so this was omitted.*Although there are trackable resources in the .por file, it is not easy to track what is and isn't ammo and which weapons it would be associated with.*If you have you imported a problematic .por file and the app crashes everytime it loads, use the app settings in android to clear data associated with the app.*Use Hero Lab to save your portfolio as a .por file (this is the default output), the extension must remain .por, the app will try to read the files from default Downloads directory of your device, which is where email applications such as GMail should save files to by default, or you can load it through Dropbox.*Before saving your portfolio MAKE SURE Point Blank Shot is disabled, the app will work all this out for you, if you have it enabled it will be applied again as the value in the saved file changes!
If you have any problems with an .por file or if you think something is wrong with how things are done, feel free to email me at [email protected] (preferably with the .por file).

It doesn't import attributes or much. Completely useless app. RENAME IS PATHFINDER HEROLAB IMPORT
It won't ever leave the welcome screen
Does what it says it does.
Yayyyy love this app love the program go check out the glass canon podcast
Everytime I import for either Google or Dropbox some how negatives get added to my skills. The spells don't know what dice should be rolled like everywhere else. Any special edits are not even read. I might as well use a pdf reader
I do not see race, class, there's no breakdown of skills. It's not bad, but it's not very good
What is the point if you can't create a new character
Not bad, but needs to have ability toggles.
This app is fantastic for those who don't own their own copy of Hero Lab or those of us who do and either have a battery die or forget our stuff. RNG is fair. Good use of space, and displays all info needed to play. You guys should talk to lone wolf and get on that team developing this more.
Drains battery faster than many other apps even when WiFi is turned off. I can stream movies on my Android Tablet with less drain over the same period of time - about 3 hours. Still bringing my paper backup to game sessions. Hope a bug fix is on the way.
This app is great if you already know the character in play, but far less so if your DM needs a look since I didn't see a race/class/level field anywhere. I would also seriously recommend a way to list companions such as mounts and hirelings so players can quickly access cohort sheets. Other than that it's pretty top notch looking. I'll probably buy the full version if I like it.
Without the ability to add conditions, this won't be used much. Bought the full app anyway, in anticipation of conditions coming soon! Spell lists are currently very cumbersome and difficult to navigate through. Also, startup guide lists this does not have Google Drive support, but it worked fine. Kudos to you! Keep up the good work and thanks
Ac isn't calculating max dexterity bonus. I have a +4 from dex and am wearing a chain shirt, and it is only giving me +3 from dex. Chain shirts allow up to +4 from dex.
The app looks nice and it functions as advertised. I've seen my friends use the full version on their computers and I'm sure this would be a wonderful addition to their experience. However, I don't have the full version on my computer and there doesn't seem to be a way to create new characters with this app. Adding this functionality would give this app a full 5 stars for me.
There is so character generated in the android store that can make a importable file. Leaving Monday to use the app.
I cannot use the same device to prepare my campaign, will I need to buy multiple instances and does my information sync across multiple devices and platforms? (Android and three separate windows PCs)
Nice app setup is clean, no huge issues, definitely worth it for use with NPCs instead of printing out sheets.
I know it says this isn't able to create a new character, but you can't really see much about your character, or edit them. If i could do that, easily at least a 4 star
Needs conditions to be added (coming soon, I see). Also spell-like abilities are not being pulled through.
Unable to import profiles, fails repeatedly regardless of source.
