Fight Club 5th Edition Reviews

Great app, only needs better export

Philm36

This and Gamemaster are my favorite D&D apps, especially after importing some data files that flesh out the default compendium. Also you can customize everything, make your own classes, races, spells, whatever. Great for homebrew or using things from paper sources that aren’t in their database yet (copyright issues will probably continue to limit that, unfortunately). My only beef with Fight Club is that the export to a printable pdf character sheet is wonky. The longer text doesn’t fit in any of the boxes and even some of the numbers get lost. Have to edit it in a pdf editor to make it usable. I won’t use dndbeyond because I don’t want to pay for digital content that I already have on paper, but their character export sheet works the way I wish this one did. Could probably be an easy fix in that next update. Hint, hint...

A little glitchy, but worth it

This is a great app for managing player characters. I admit it’s not perfect, especially when it comes to leveling up (I mean, there’s gotta be a way to indicate that players have advantage on certain rolls, right?), but it’s close, and the tappable reference pop-up (e.g. on spells) are super helpful. This is light-years ahead of other character management apps, including the appallingly overrated DnD Beyond.

Works great, a little difficult to set up.

Title. App works well, and character sheets fit perfectly. Finding or writing files can be a little tedious, and some mechanics (such as artificer infusions) are difficult to set up but can be done in the app with a little finagling, and that’s where I would take off a star if I could figure out a better way to do it. But other than that it’s the best app for this sort of thing and I thoroughly enjoy using it.

Solid App. Issues are from copyright, not App.

I’ve been using this app for years. It’s the most comprehensive character and info database with plenty of tools. Due to wizards pushing copyright issues, you have to get a lot of compendium info from their Dropbox or other source but they are super easy to use (less than 3 taps) AND you can add your own home brew content. I’ve seen a lot of people complain about some newer information missing but that’s not due to the app, that’s the big company locking out their info from 3rd parties. Only downside is that I wish they updated Dropbox info for newer stuff but it does take time.

Helpful!

Thoth the unimpressed

I love using this app to help during game play. Being able to just tap on something and see the information for it with out having to go digging online or through a book. One thing I’m sure they hear a lot would be easier access compendium info for when you first download the app. But one of the biggest things I think the app could use to make it better then it already is? Better organization. To be able to sort the characters into different folders. For example, I play both with a group of friends and in an adventures league. With my friends we use a lot of home brewed stuff but at adventures league we stick to very by the book rules for characters. It would be nice to be able to separate them.

Didn’t have my race or all the Druid 2nd level stuff.

Not only do they not have anything other than high elf for elves they only have circle of land for druids no circle of moon so I can’t build my character. I have to add in all the details myself why do that when I’ve already written it all down on a paper character sheet?

nothing better exists

There is no better D&D app out there. Hands down it meets and exceeds the needs of players. the third party support for this app is equally invaluable. WotC missed the boat with their D&D Beyond app. My one and only complaint is that there’s no way to immediately reference your character’s initial ability scores. IMHO, the edit screen should show the un-modified (base) scores, or have some sort of toggle to switch between base and modified scores. Aside from that, this app crushes anything else out there.

App is Great, But Problem after recent update

Ad'Astra

Since the update I am being asked to purchase the software again. I had previously paid for this app.

Great app but...

Aidan Anthony

The app is great except recently when I have made new characters I can no longer level up, I have to add some amount of XP. I do see why this could be useful but it is annoying when in all the campaigns I play in we just level up, we don't use XP. I think this could be fixed with a switch in the character creator. Flip it one way to use XP and the other way to use plain levels. This has only been a problem with newly created characters, if I look at an older one I can still level up like normal and if I save an older one's file to my files app then create a "new" character with that file it still doesn't use XP. I'd love if this could get fixed and I would changemy rating to five stars. I do love the app by the way. The review may soundvery negative but outside this one issue it's great.
