Description
Take command of your Dungeons & Dragons game with Game Master 5th Edition. This DM tool makes building a campaign easy and takes a lot of the hassle of out of running a game so that you can focus on more important things.
Combat Tracker. Roll initiative, track hit points and conditions, view monster stat blocks, and roll attacks, all in an easy to use interface. No need to flip through the Monster Manual or roll and add up a bunch of dice.You’ll be able to leave your books at home because Game Master has what you’ll need.
Encounter Builder. Quickly put together an encounter, including one with randomly generated enemies. The encounter analyzer calculates the difficulty so that you won’t accidentally TPK the party.
Creature Builder/Scaler. Easily create a new creature or modify an one. Specify a few stats, such as challenge rating, ability scores, hit dice, etc… and the app will auto generate the rest of the numbers and text for you.
DM Screen. The rules reference view lets you quickly look up rules, tables, etc. This view is completely customizable and can even include links to external websites.
Campaign Manager. Split your campaign into adventures, each with their own sets of characters and encounters. Also keep notes and a treasure items that you can send out to your players.
Dice Roller. All of your stats and attacks can be rolled with a tap of a button. Also included is dice calculator that allows you to input a custom roll. Need to roll 1d20 + 6d9 + Constitution modifier? Game Master has what you need.
Compendium. A customizable compendium of content that by default includes all of the races, classes, backgrounds, feats, equipment, spells, and the monsters from the System Reference Document 5.1. This does not contain all of the official content from the books so you'll have to input any missing. To make adding easier, there is an Import feature through which you can type/copy content on your PC then transfer the file into the compendium. Fan made files are also available for download, so search online.
Fight Club Integration. Players using the Fight Club 5th Edition app can send their characters to you in the form of an importable file so you can quickly include them in any campaign.
Compatibility. This app is designed to be played with D&D 5e, but many elements of it can be used for other tabletop RPGs, such as D&D 3.5e and Pathfinder RPG. And of course, because everything can be completely customized, any homebrewed content is also possible.
Premium Version. The app is free to download, but you are limited creating a single campaign with one adventure and up to three encounters. Upgrading to the premium version with the in-app purchase will remove these restrictions.

Ratings and Reviews
Superb
This app has made running 5E games so much easier for me.
The combat encounter feature is the main attraction, letting you track Initiative, stat blocks, hit points and conditions in one neat system. You can also use it to just put a bunch of stat blocks in the same place as a kind of roster for dynamic dungeons and random encounter options.
The compendium is pretty limited presumably because of licensing, but you can easily add new monsters, items and spells. The rules reference section is also incredibly helpful. And the interface is very tidy and intuitive.
I can’t run a whole adventure from this app as my style of prep requires the freedom of an unruled notebook for making mind maps etc. But sitting at the table with that notebook as my main resource, plus this app on my phone or tablet to have all the crunchy mechanical stuff together and accessible, makes for a really smooth DMing experience.
Highly, highly recommended.
The best dnd app on any App Store
This app is so detailed and so extremely helpful the ability that this app gives you is immense and the customisability that you can apply to almost everything is amazing the layout and easy ui is superb. I absolutely love this app and is helping me greatly
Worth the small price, however...
This is a great app, I use it with multiple games and it’s really easy to use and has many great features. My only problem, and not the creators fault, is the removal of basic wizard of the Coast info for PCs and creatures. There are small things that would be really useful like the ability to move PCs to NPCs or the ability to edit encounters on the fly better than their current ability. Adding a creature mid battle shouldn’t have to reset initiative. There are little things that I’m sure that will be fixed as and when reported so overall a great app.
