Stylish and Well-Featured

Let me not muddy the waters by pointing out a good point, then countering it with a nitpick. Let’s keep it simple: pros and cons. PROs: The interface is beautiful. That may not seem like much, but in the face of successful (but frankly ugly) systems like Hero Lab and RPG Scribe, sometimes a look that seduces the pupils is a welcome break. The Compendium has basic information of use to players and GMs, and is easily accessible. This is no small thing; in systems as deep and detailed as Pathfinder and 5e, having to delve into the books is inelegant. Price point: this is a good value for the investment. Good support, good functionality, great design. There are others, but let’s keep it short. CONs: I mentioned the complexity of the systems. Hero Lab will do the majority of the work figuring the modifiers and options... for a price. And an interface with all the style and charm of an IRS report form. Not so much with Fight Club. Be prepared to do a fair bit of typing (or cut-and-paste) for any character of a non-vanilla nature. Be prepared to think for yourself. It is no difficult thing to input data incorrectly and have a marginally useless character sheet; to be fair, however, Fight Club has resources which, if followed, will prevent problems down the line. The only reason I list this as a con is that not everyone RTFM. I highly recommend it.
Every Update Makes a Great App Worse

I wish this app had not automatically updated for me. After each update, the interface design is substantially worse — it used to be a neat and efficient use of screen real estate; now, it’s an ugly mess that wastes screen space. Please bring back the V2.3 interface, where the character portrait was only displayed on the first menu, instead of wasting more than half the screen on every menu. I’ve used this app for years and used to recommend it to all of my players. Now I hardly use it (and never recommend it) because it’s become so inefficient.
Issues
Pheznik
Can’t delete characters Can’t modify attacks to include things like weapon focus These are the things I found in just 20 mins.
I’ve gone paperless

I love my dice, but I love faster paced high-level Pathfinder combat more. This app is easy to use and dramatically reduces the algebra needed for some of the more complicated builds. I recommend it to all my friends. A criticism: being able to see the inputs that go into the weapon bonuses and such would be helpful for character sheet auditing. I’ve run into a few bugs that could have been solved much faster if I could track *how* some of the macros are being calculated. It would also be helpful learning tool for new players. Other than the occasional calculation error, this app is wonderful and I have no interest in ever returning to analog.
Updates

Would be a lot better if it did the auto calculation like the 5e version. does not change states when race is added. And the spells all fall under the 0 level category. Makes spell selection difficult. Would love for it to be as updated as the 5e version.
Need to update with pathfinder hybrid classes

The app isn’t up to date with the hybrid classes for pathfinder, also there are races from the advanced race guide that aren’t in the app as well. Having those added would be greatly appreciated
Great Job Lions Den!!

I completely love this app. I’m shocked it’s so well done given that it’s totally free. You guys are true pros. Still haven’t found a single thing I wasn’t able to do with it, and the fact that I can add pictures to my backstory in the notes section as well as add pictures to the weapons that I’ve crafted just tickles me. My group is playing through a lord of the rings module, and I have a picture of the Uruk Hai shooting Boromir under the description for the Orkish Hornbow. It’s hysterical.
Not worth the purchase

Took a look at the program for pathfinder (the walk through for character generation) in several areas it repeated (like bonus feats for wizard) several times. When building the class it had you pick class features with no telling what you needed to get them. I created a lv 1 wizard that let me choose any spell I felt like, all bonuses you get for specializing into various schools at once, with no penalty. Overall it just seemed a bit off (and rather messed up for any new players) However it does atleast calculate skills correctly and you can roll as needed.
