Real Sheet Collection

I write character sheets to help me keep track of my characters’ abilities and weaknesses, which this app makes incredibly easy. Once or twice I noticed a bug-losing information if I had too many sheets, and WoD sheets sending my screen out of wack whenever I added a second dot-yet they’re manageable. The only main complaint I *might* have, if you can really call it a complaint, is that there aren’t more sheet options. Given the impressive selection already, I don’t imagine that complaint is going to last long. Fallout 2d20, Mummy the Curse, any of the Conan games, maybe even Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay; these are all random games that I could see this app providing sheets for, given its selection is pretty diverse and broad. All in all, I use the app frequently and I’m excited to see what’s added. Glad I paid full price for the selection.

I was keeping track of my characters with .pdf files that I saved on my iPad. This works well, except when you want to edit them, Adobe charges $10 a month to be able to edit .pdf files. You can find free programs to do it, but they’re not great to put it mildly. All I wanted to do was keep my D&D Characters on my iPad and be able to edit them and take notes as I played. This app, lets me do all that, I can fill out my sheet, make changes as he levels, keep track of his items and take notes on the session all in one easy place. The app works perfectly in the free version, just some annoying ad banners which I paid to remove. I only bought the AD&D sheets because that’s all I am currently playing, but if I play in other sessions, it’s good to know I can use the same app to keep everything in one place. Really good idea.

You can only have one character sheet active at any time unless you purchase the unlimited sheet option for the game of your choice, or for the entire app. That may be a downside if you’re a DM and need a few special sheets, otherwise players should be fine. Data saves to your pages now which is a huge plus, but just like a real character sheet you have to fill in everything by hand, and that can be tedious on a mobile device. The dice calculator doesn’t come with instructions or any guide, but I eventually figured it out. For example, if you want to roll a d20, type “1d20=“ and you’ll get the result. Same goes for other dice or rolling multiple dice together, “2d6+3=“. All in all it’s a nice app that has room to grow but is perfectly functional as it is now.
