Fifth Edition Character Sheet 4+

Currently at version 1.23, this app is amazing and is so close to being better than the standard D&D character sheet. My only issues are the spells and the crashes. The spells are slightly inconvenient to use, I recommend changing it so that the spells list for magical classes are already available for use instead of users having to input them manually and perhaps have it so when you hold down the spell name, the spell description comes up so users don’t have to go in and out of the app (but keep the ability to add and remove spells just in case, as well as the function of tapping to show prepared/unprepared spells). Other than that, the crashes that occur when I edit character data is quite annoying especially when I’ve changed many parts and the changes haven’t saved. I’m using an Ipad Air, running on IOS version 11.3.1, but 11.4 has already arrived.

Overall though, well done on a great app and keep up the good work.

This app was recommended by my local DDAL group. I really like the visual simplicity and nice bold and easy to read writing, good for people with visual impairments and/or those of us who need glasses to read as we get older! It’s logically organised and I really appreciate the summary of relevant race/class features in one easy spot.
The ease of character set up means you can experiment/play with different character ideas which is great. Then when you decide on something you can add the additional details.
Only minor finesse issues on my end, for example with the choice of background, the selection box is narrow and you can’t see which Guild you are selecting until you go out of the selection box. You will still need to use reference books e.g. to see what features you get from a particular background.
If you are playing a spellcaster and you like to change spells frequently, this might not work so well - but you could use spell cards or another method instead. If you have a relatively fixed spell list you should be fine.
And just ensure this is all backed up just in case 🙂.
Overall, very good product and thank you to the developer.

Honestly, really love this app. As a DM, I used to use it all the time to create quick npc character sheets, and the occasional character (which I rarely have the pleasure of playing) however, the apps biggest downfall (and main reason I don’t use it much anymore) is it’s lack of a search/organisation feature. I’ve had sessions where I spent several minutes scrolling through the (probably) 100+ characters, unable to find the one I’m after, only to give up, and improvise their stats, and then remake them in another app, which I know has a search feature, (which is a shame, as I really like this app).
