Good for initiative but bad battle map support

Clossius19911991

The map starts at 1% and it increments at 0.01% which is extremely irritating. It would be nice to be able to put in a custom number for percentages just by clicking on it and typing. I think the battle map is not worth it at the moment

Monthly subscriptions?

I love this app and swear by it as a DM. Compared to other tools that are online based and even other comparable apps, this program stands out. I was willing to purchase all the extra purchases to fully experience this app as well as support the developers. However, monthly subscriptions? Really? How come this couldn’t have just been another in-app purchase? This seems like a cheap ploy to get money from those who have already chosen to support you and your software. This app was a 5-star rating from me until that monthly subscription.

Great Initiative tracker

New DM here. I mainly use this app to track initiatives of my players and monsters. Works great in keeping track of the mobsters health as well. To fully get the most out of this app though it is highly recommended to import monster files to add the monsters from other sources such as the Monster Manual, Volo’s Guide to Monsters, etc... Great app overall.

Wish I could Import Character Sheets! But other than that perfect!

Hey! I love this app! It is just great! And I prefer it to Fight Clubs (the addition of the battle map is the big plus). However the import of characters from Fight Club is not yet functioning. This would be an amazing feature. I much prefer this GM app to Fight Clubs, but all of my players use Fight Club for their Digital Character sheets, so if I could import, this would tip the boat for me to using this app as my full time GM app!! Pleeeeeeaaaaase!!!!! Everything else is perfect!!

The Perfect DM App

This app is fantastic! It has just about everything you could ask for. There are optional paid features that I believe to be well worth it. The only room for improvement in my opinion would be the learning curve. It took me quite a while to figure everything out and I typically catch on to things pretty quickly. I would suggest having a youtube series that has tutorials for how to best do things in the app. The developer is also fantastic. They have reddit posts and a facebook page where they reply to every post and actively add people's suggestions into the app with frequent updates. Please keep up the good work! Happy to support you and spread the word about this app!

It’s awesome but this last update has made it so I have to exit out of the app if I go to the compendium

Atrocious UX

monkey5an

Completely incoherent interaction design. For example, a check mark in this app doesn’t mean “Okay” or “Accept” as it does everywhere else. Here you tap check mark to ADD things. Navigation is a Nightmare. Money lost on battle map tool obfuscated behind bad design. A shame.

Put together well

I very much enjoy and appreciate this app however not every creature is in it, such as the Tritons (just one that I’ve noticed). I hope these are added very soon. Humans aren’t even in the app so I can’t make my Human NPC characters. I really would like to see all races and monsters added so it’s completely useful

Super Easy

I puttered around on this for about half an hour and learned so much. I used it to run a game last night for our 5e Twitch stream, and it worked perfectly and made gameplay so smooth and effortless for me. I will have to try out the paid extensions, cuz this is such a nice tool!

Lame app

BlackbeardsLoot

Don’t bother.. waste of time and money. App gets stuck, map freezes and you can’t exit, can’t navigate easily...and the dev just wants more money from monthly subscriptions. Not sure why people say they like this app- I deleted it 10 min after downloading it.
