Fifth Edition Character Sheet

Let me preface this by saying I paid for this not because I had to, but because I wanted to. I had been using this app for free for two months. It’s shocking that I can save more than one character, customize the build myself, and saves everything I input and does so much for free. I paid for this app, to because I was interested in the level up system, which is useful, or to get rid of apps, but I bought this app because I feel like it was quite well made. It’s simple and may require a bit of input on your end but it leaves room to customize and lay things out exactly how you want My ONLY gripes: when I’m inputting some text, the box won’t expand further down than where the text is it, and this does t happen everytime but only when add on text somewhere mid paragraph or something. Not a big deal, just got return to add a line and expand the box. Also when you’re at the character information section, my phone brings up the text over where I’m typing, making it a true guessing game if I’m spelling things right haha. Not the biggest deal because when you get it done, it’s done, but it would be nice if there was way to have the app jump up to just over the text keyboard. Overall, must have for all DnD players and you should pay this guy your $3. It’s totally worth it considering the apparent work out in and how much you can do without problem.

Alright let me start by saying I bought the premium edition and imma tell you don’t even download the app if your not willing to pay for it it’s 2.99 but I needed to get an app that would replace my already paid for app rpg scribe because rpg scribe was 3.5th edition and I wanted to learn 5th Iv been using this app for years now and it has taught me and helped me learn so much about dnd not only does it have everything in the book for 5e it has expansion races I didn’t even know about and expansion classes allowing you to learn the names gives you the ability to google their stats online and therefore this 2.99 app has saved me from buying every expansion dnd wants to come out with which ends up being $$$$$$$$ so yeah I’m really happy with this app love it to death only recommend not deleting it because the restore purchase option didn’t work for me but tbh I’m lazy and said screw it I like the app so much I’ll buy it again if it saves me from getting those books when I got it the second time I didn’t even realize he updated it with the expansions as well this man is like a saint for dnd players and dms especially if your new like I was years ago when I first got this app and started playing 5e

I’ll start with a brief praise for the app. It’s streamlined, it has a good UI, it’s intuitive and customizable. The app is great for creating a character and allows for the addition of homebrew to a large extent if you want. Now in terms of criticism I really only have 3 main points. Some useful additions would be the ability to copy a character. If you have a character and want to play around with leveling or other aspects you have to recreate that character entirely. It would be a lot easier if there was a way to simply copy the existing character. Some others have already stated that a database with the spells/abilities descriptions (or at least a page reference) would be helpful. Finally a way to sync devices data would be helpful. It may be just on my end, but my iPad version of the app doesn’t have the characters on my phone, nor does it recognize the paid app upgrade made on my iPhone. On the note of leveling down a character, I think a more intuitive approach would be helpful as well, but would like to point out that you can undo changes to a character through the restore option in top left hand folder.

This is an extremely well designed app for character creation and management. You get full access to the expanded 5e races and classes for free so it is easy to experiment with rolling up all kinds of characters for fun. You can save as many as you want. You can also choose your method of character creation, input, point by, or dice rolling. Upgrading gives you the ability to level your character up, and change conditions due to long and short rests, and makes it a really handy app to use when you play. It even saves each level so you can restore to a lower level if you have a character you want to play but is too high level for a particular campaign. It could be a little smoother in how you enter or delete customizable text, but it works. It would also be cool if it had some basic text descriptions for races and classes, but that’s what the books are for. I'd like a little more explanation about how to import and export character sheets. It’s great as a free app and totally worth the price for the upgrade!

The App is easy to use and I have found a lot of errors in some of my group’s build when I was inputting them so it’s great at doing the math and figuring out the skills. I don’t like Google drive and find it annoying that there isn’t a Dropbox or iCloud option. I deleted a bunch of test characters from Google drive, but when export or import a character, they are all still listed and I can’t figure out how to delete them all outside of re-installing. One thing that would help a lot is if the app syncs to my other devices. I have a gaming iPad and a phone that also have the app and have to export from the iPad to Google Drive and then import it to my phone. Every time I have an update on one, it saves as another file and then I have all these confusing saves that do not exist on my drive but is still listed in my import/export list. That being said, I love this app. It streamlines my info for game play and lets me know the basics for the group. I like the spell tracking and HP and the ability to reset with short/long rests. I can’t wait to see what they add.
