The App will give you choices and guidance for such aspects as ability scores, class selection, race selection, feature choices, spells, and more.
Pop-up menus will display exactly how scores are calculated, allowing you to add your own adjustments if there is something else you want taken into account. Spell tracking tells you how many spell slots you have, lets you prepare spells in those slots, and keep track of which ones have been cast.
You can back up and sync your characters between devices using Apple's iCloud.
In addition, the App provides a die-roller for performing standard die rolls, as well as custom die rolls for any need.
The free version allows you to create and level up characters up to level 4 using all the Core Rulebook races and 4 basic classes, Fighter, Rogue, Cleric, and Wizard. Buying a subscription gives you access to all the Core Rulebook and Advanced Player's Guide classes (except for Loremaster and Pathfinder Chronicler) and allows character levels all the way up to 20. PRD Characters now supports races from the Advanced Race guide.

I will never go back to playing Pathfinder without this app!
Kitsune Karl
This is one of the only pathfinder apps that doesn’t look like a 90s website programmed by a drunk kobold! I tried a ton of other apps, paid and free, and this one is in an entirely different league - it does ALL OF THE WORK. Kudos to the developers, and I hope they continue to add more features to what is already by far the best Pathfinder app (I would LOVE a tile where it tracks hp with damage/heal buttons and an immersive overlay over a customizable picture of my character, like in Baldur’s Gate!)
Really cool!!!

This is really cool but the one problem I have with it is that you can't make regular human characters. I also can't figure out what to do with them after I finish them.
Helpful

Super helpful when making characters or just using it to keep track of them. I would just like to see more books added so I don’t have to riddle the notes page with what random feat/spell actually is.
Well done player app

This is built on the greatest app that almost came to be. Morningstar, Dungeon Scape and Playbook.
Almost perfect

Literally the only thing that stopped me from giving it 5 stars was no option for enchanting items.
Pretty Good

While this is pretty much everything I was hoping for in a character builder regarding experimenting with builds and keeping track of characters I had, there is one issue that pops up. I want to make a fighter who uses a whip, just as a fun build, but the Exotic Weapon Proficiency selection is always the last step, which means I cannot choose to have Weapon Focus with that weapon, as the app does not recognize the proficiency until after the focus is chosen. I would like to see an ability to edit feats so that I could do this without forcing extra feats or anything weird.
