PrismScroll Djinn 4+

Excellent app

Great compendium app, super convenient to grab things. The dev is amazing, and like the rest of his apps I really like this one.

thanks!

Needs to evolve

I really like that there is reference page numbers to player hand book, but it would be nice to have page references to monsters and dm hand books. As of this post it is a huge pain to make lists as searching doesn’t add correctly you have to scroll through everything to add properly. Sort of thought this would replace any need for other prism apps, no, but this is a super fast way to look some things up. Hope to see an update that adds a clearer and more complete list.

Developer Response ,

Hello Heavens, thanks for the review! I believe that we talked a bit in an email and I think I gave some information on what we are thinking. As far as that filtering bug, thanks for letting me know about that! I just submitted a patch for that and you should see that rolling out in the next day or two in patch 1.2.0 (ill follow up by email as well). If you follow our instagram, you'll know that one thing we are doing it trying to do a better job of keeping track of where a custom creation/content comes from (canon/homebrew/unearthed arcana). With that starting in the player app and being fleshed out, we hope to start rolling that out to all our other apps once that design is finalized. You are correct, prism djinn is not a replacement, all of our apps have a specific purpose. The player app is for character sheets/creation, the dm app for custom resources/initiative, and the djinn app is what we hope to be our "search engine". I think you mentioned that you were looking for import files and that is something we hope to be able to incorporate once we finalize how everything is saved in the player app. But as of this moment, everything in the app is what is available in the system reference document, the information that people are able to free distribute without licensing issues.

It doesn’t work

The main reason for getting this app was because of the ability to make lists but that feature is currently not functional. Any items you add to a list will be deleted immediately after exiting the list except for “game rules” for some reason. Also in the list mode you aren’t able to click on weapons anything except game rules to read descriptions. Its just broken.
