Software Reviews and Criticism

  Amazing app!

  You guys are doing a great job with the updates to this app! It just keeps getting better and better! One quick request for future updates: could you add the advantage/disadvantage option to the Initiative calculator? I would really like to use the initiative system you have in the app, but it won’t let me plug in the initiatives manually either. Just a little request. Keep up the great work!👍🏻 Ok, so I decided to expand on my request a little. It would be a lot more convenient if there was some way you could save the position of the enemies and allies of your encounter on the map, so you don’t have to reposition them every time you load a new encounter or map. Maybe there’s some way you can combine the features. Idk, just a thought 💭 keep up the good work as before! Alright, I was also wondering if you could make it possible to rotate the images 360 degrees so as to be able to view the battle map from multiple angles👍🏻

  An amazing app!!!

  I’m a first time DM who’s been playing since AD&D 2nd edition and never really took the plunge to DM my own campaign. I finally decided to do it and found this app which was a game changer. Not only did it help me consolidate my home brew campaign but it allowed me to build my own maps and import them as well as even use photos I took of actual maps from Tactical Maps 5e and use them in my games with fog of war. What’s also amazing is that I can use my large TV as our tabletop more or less and control everything from my phone so that all my players feel fully immersed in the storytelling and world-building. I can’t recommend this app enough to all levels of DM since it puts so much power in the palm of your hand from tracking initiative to tracking XP to organizing all the necessary materials for the adventure in a totally accessible way. Thank you and keep up the great work!! PS The developer is SUPER helpful if anything is needed.

  Best Battle Manager

  Automatic order tracking, easy to add custom NPCs/Monsters/characters, even add photos! I use this module to set up battles ahead of the session. Even when the party changes my plans: i can easily create a new battle order in just a moment. I have added the characters stats to the battle so i can secretly make rolls for them without them knowing. I can even keep track of their HP in addition to the enemies/NPCs After a using the program for a bit I decided to buy the spells. The spell allow you to click on their name to bring up the spell details, even on custom additions, which saves lot of time looking up spells. If your looking for a replacement for your paper notebook, this is a simple and quick alternative. The one note of improvement is it took a few minutes to understand how the programmed worked. Once I did it works beautifully, but it was a little confusing at first.

  The Best VTT and constantly getting better!

  As far as organizing and planning this is the best I’ve ever used. I feel like the maker knows exactly what’s wrong with Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds and pretty much every other VTT out there. This is the simplest and to the point as you can get. If your new to RPGs there will be a lot to learn no matter what you end up with. Once you have tried everything else out there, you will come back to this one and know exactly why everyone likes it so much. Here’s a list of everything else that I’ve tried to save you all time, this is MUCH better than all of these: Roll20 Fantasy Grounds EpicGM Tabletop Simulator Fight Club Reroll Game Master 5 Role Gate Complete Reference for 5e 3D Virtual Table Top Calamus Map Keeper mRPG While this doesn’t offer “everything” yet, its all been coming to this app. Updates regularly. It’s really easy to supplement this app while still using it as your main hub. This is what you need. The subscription is 100% worth it but not needed to enjoy 95% of what’s included. Cheaper and more reasonable than most others and keeps this FANTASTIC app going. If you don’t want the subscription I highly recommend buying the battle map and external screen support. It works great with ZOOM - which is essential during shelter in place. Stop your search here and get this one.

  A MUST have app for DMs

  This is an amazing app. It is my go to for just about all of my DM planning, and while running the games. It took me a little bit to learn how the app worked when I first got it, but when I figured it out I ran with it. Other reviewers cover all details as to what features the app has, so I won’t waste time repeating what they say. I will say this though, this app makes planning and running my games massively easier. Before I did everything with a notepad and a calculator, and it slowed the process down. Now the sessions and encounters move quicker, and run much smoother. There are a couple of ways that I can see the app being improved upon though. There being some sort of guide to tell you how to work the basic functions of the app, the list of creatures to be updated instead of having to manually enter them in yourself, and be able to fill out PC stats like you would do with creatures. This all being said I absolutely LOVE this app and I can’t stop recommending it to others who also run games.
