Pathfinder Open Reference
For other developers: this app has an api that lets you pull up articles from your app. Contact me if you are interested in using it.
The application has tens of thousands of rule snippets allowing you to access feats, spells, monsters, npcs, classes and more. The application allows you to hone in the passages that matter for what’s going on in game now. Every title in every article is a link that lets you just see/bookmark that section. It has a powerful and fast search lets you find the rule you need, quickly.
It also allows you to create bookmark collections. You can bookmark passages that you want quick access to as a GM, while creating other collections for your characters, giving you quick access to the rules that applicable to that character.
This application is Open Source and free. If you have a problem with the application, rather then giving it a low rating, or in addition to it, consider filing an issue, and I will try to fix the issue as soon as possible. You can find the issue tracker on the website by looking to the right, under Pathfinder Open Reference with the link 'issues'.

This is my go-to for really quick reference of the most basic aspects of PF. Unfortunately, it is quite fairly outdated. A lot of new classes, archetypes, items, and even races aren't listed and this has stopped being updated. The monster manual being so violently stunted (as well as no easy find of any of the occult class archetypes within the Class Customization tab, though they are listed in the Rules: Occult Adventures tab), and redundant search terms make this only good for quick checks.
We use this app every time we run our Pathfinder campaigns. If you know what you're looking for (even if you don't know exactly how to phrase the search), it gets you there SO much quicker than trying to find it in the physical books (even compared to using PDFs in most cases). Also, the organization of spells per class is very useful.
This is an awesome app! I use it constantly and it has replaced my physical library when im gaming on the go. I love the search function and the ability to "favorite" pages. I *especially* appreciate how it does not advertise in my face all the time!
This app did almost everything I wanted it to. It doesn't have every possible expansion but it does have everything you need to play the game and it is easy to navigate. The Left-swipe feature and searchable text field are especially useful.
This app is a good supplement for your group. Yes you can find everything you NEED to play here but if you want the full range of Pathfinder material this app is still missing alot. That said when I want to check a class feature or feat this is my go-to place as long as I'm not looking up anything obscure.
This app is a must. Been a vet for 8 yrs, I'd have crippling back pain and paper diced fingers if I had to reference so many books manually. This app has every main book up to occult adventures. Wish it'd round out the set and pull in the companion books, but hey 5stars means I love the app not that it's perfect.
Very helpful for a player in a rush. There are some minor typos, and issues with the search (such as pulling up mythic versions of spells instead of going directly to the spell in question), but otherwise very solid.
In the beginning, when the ancient ones wrote the old words and the strings of life were first threaded into the flaming guitar that is the universe, this app guided them in their mission. I have yet to find a tabletop app that is as helpful, well thought out and useful as this one. If you play Pathfinder you need to use this. If you make tabletop apps you need to use this as a blueprint. If you love freedom its because this app gave you that right and you should be grateful. Needs updates tho.
I used to love this app but as a Blind DM/PC, I can't use it anymore as it's not accessible. If the text was compatible with screen readers and a built in dark mode was available if pay for it.
Insanely useful app for quick reference before and even during sessions. Overall, an invaluable tool for any GM or player looking to make their life a little easier.
This was the premiere Pathfinder app. Unfortunately it hasn't been updated in quite a long time and while still very helpful I'm only giving 3 stars because it's missing several books worth of races and classes and rules. I'll adjust to 5 stars when they hopefully update it.
The usefulness of this rules database for Pathfinder players can't be overstated. It's a free searchable version of the pfsrd. No, it's not perfect, but it is amazing work for the price and we should all give a giant thank you to the creator of this app.
Mostly Great, I have to say this is a very resourcefull app to use especially when starting out but the issue is that this app is 2 years out of date and it is missing a lot of stuff. I hope they update it soon.
its great for beginners and really useful. the only things that could be better are changing the bookmarks section so you can move them around and include more beastiarys
great app, needs to be expanded but otherwise a great referance for pathfinder. it covers from what I've seen all of the general rules and has most of the information you could need.
I really appreciate the ease of use and the utility of being able to look stuff up when i am away from my books. Inspiration can hit any time, having a rules reference in my pocket which allows me to flesh those ideas out with the relevant rukes in the first draft is wonderous.
This is a great, super comprehensive reference for Pathfinder's first edition. It has basically everything you could need as a player. I dont know about the GM side of things myself.
everything I need in 1 place. a bit rough to navigate, I always end up going back to search. however, considering the massive amount of info involved, it is well done.
Has a search feature and a content by category feature making it easy to find specifically what you are looking for without perusing every book.
Been using for 6 or 7 years. Might not have EVERY last spell, feat, or trait, but a perfect quick reference for players or gms on the spot.
a must have if you play pathfinder 1st edition. an update is long overdue, but what it does have is still a very valuable resource.
Got the premium edition, did not look back. Absolutely amazing, have all the rules at my fingertips at all times.
It has a wonderful interface with all of your pathfinder need. 5 stars doesn't even begin to cover it.
very useful app. definatelty helps from rifling through books and pages to find what I'm looking for.
Soooo useful! They have every single thing from almost every book published. A MUST have for pathfinder players. Has everything from the bestiary to the advanced rules.
I really like this app. use it in every pathfinder session I play. Just wish there was an update to involve some of the new material.
I have no idea what Pathfinder is but I am using this as a reference for my books and it is pretty amazing. I'll have to look into Pathfinder and see what it's all about though! Can't wait!😁
I've used this app for years as my go to when I didn't have my books on me. And sometimes even when I did. Aside from the proprietary stuff, it' all there ans ready for you.
Very useful I can easily pull up info on classes or spells much faster and easier than flipping through a book
I love this app and use it nearly everything i have a question, or when I'm preparing things for a session. Easy to use, easy to look at, and free. That's perfect for me. It does suffer from the same thing as the PFSRD where it'll cut off charts sometimes but that rare and not too big of a deal.
