Almost amazing... Almost usable – Sheet Yourself: Create/Manage RPG Character Sheets Review

As has been mentioned, you have to build every character sheet from the ground up. Classes, races, abilities, attribute scores, feats, skills, traits, backgrounds and even rules (Collectively I will call them objects) can be built into this app. Basically you can (and must) define and build everything necessary for your campaign. Everything is modular. That is Sheet Yourself's promise of power. Mix and match and recreate new characters (sheets) on the fly by using objects that you've already made. The dev's are going the right way, but implementation has revealed a fatal weakness of reusing objects in Sheet Yourself. Every object you make is unique. So, you can make an object called "STRength" and assign that to a character and set it to a value you want. That works great. But now if you assign the object STRength to a second character, it's referencing the same object with the same value. So both characters are forced to have the same STRength value (change it for one, and you changed it for both). Kinda pointless. There are work arounds (create many unique STRength objects), but this workaround magnifies the inherent weakness of the app. Mainly that it's a lot of work. Until the dev's implement the ability to assign a copy (instance) of an object, that isn't tied to other copies (instances) this app is a time intensive and pretty character sheet that is missing by inches the potential to drive the way I run my game. It currently exhibits little in the way of time/effort saving utility. I've spoken with the devs and made it clear what it will take to make the app useful and I'm told that a new iOS version is coming soon that "should make me happy". I really really hope so. This one feature would turn this app from a wish of awesome to an indispensable component of my table top role playing experience.
