The combat portion is not overly intuitive, but generally works once you dive in and test things out. The easy access to DBs and treasure are quite nice, and are one of the more compelling reasons to use this app. Unfortunately, the app doesn't easily import PCGen data, so I have to use the desktop for conversion. Other minor quibbles, grumble, grumble. Still, I'll try it again the next time I play...
I was about to complain about importing .por files as I had a crash each time. But... it would seem the wonderful developer has already loaded the big baddies from Pathfinder APs already! You rock!
This has almost everything you could want as a GM. I have tried most, if not all, the PF apps on Android and this is my favorite by far. The only thing it needs is the ability to roll perception checks for the players.
At first I was hesitant too. $6 for an app, a low amount of reviews, and high ratings. Seems a little off, no? Well let me tell you, this app is worth every penny, and the reviews do not lie. Don't let the name fool you, this is much more than a combat manager. This app literally has everything you'd need as a DM on the go. Fully fleshed out combat tracker, including initiative, HP, stat blocks and a dice roller that loads the monster's modifiers automatically? Check. An encounter creator, where you can fully roll up an encounter and save to memory, so when the time comes use it all have do is hit load? Oh yeah. The entire d20pfsrd indexed and searchable? You bet. A searchable bestiary that's sortable with a variety of categories, AND lets you import your creature of choice directly into the combat tracker? If course! And lastly, the feature that sold the app for me: treasure generator. You can set the exact parameters for the generator, including the gold limits, levels and even type of loot you'd like to have, and it creates a pile of goodies. I've replaced all my other pathfinder apps with this one, as it truly does everything. Well worth the price.
Only thing it is missing is the ability to save and load combat states
For the most part, this is a good start, but there are a few design questions / issues that I can't help but point out. 1. When rolling initiative, why is there not a direct option manually enter the player's initiative and why, when editing it, does the button window show a series of incrementing buttons and not the standard number pad? 2. Does the initiative tracker honor the order of resolving ties? If so, there is no indication of it that I could find. 3. While the weapon editor is good, why are other fields, like Initiative locked from direct editing? If a player has an unusual modifier to his Initiative, it doesn't seem to allow that factor. 4. When adding feats, there is what appears to be a 2nd search box at the bottom of the list of feats. However using it causes a force close. What is the intended purposes? 5. While you can add things to the quick roll option by adding them as attacks, there does not appear to be a way of removing anything from the base list, like the long list of skills. Likewise, adding things to the list that are not attacks (healing spells, etc)? All in all a good start and it is in the race, but not yet at the finish line. (Xoom Tablet, 4.1.2)
