  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The app has been reported to have significant stability issues, particularly on devices like the Google Pixel 2, with users experiencing slow performance, freezing, and bugs in specific functions such as the delete feature. Despite these problems, some users still find it to be a valuable tool for DMs in Dungeons & Dragons 5e.

    • “This app works so slow and freezes the phone.”
    • “Just doesn't like the app (Google Pixel 2) or if the app is this buggy.”
    • “Delete function is a bit buggy, but otherwise a great tool for 5E DMs.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to the lack of proficiency in updating characters and the repetitive task of creating every monster. While the overall design and character sheet functionality are praised, the experience is hindered by the need for extensive referencing and manual input, making it less convenient for on-the-go play.

    • “Lack of proficiency makes updating characters after a level a bit tedious.”
    • “Additionally, having to create every monster is very tedious.”
    • “It's harder to use than paper; the whole idea was to use something on my commute to work, but it's more similar to a notepad than a DM tool. I still need to reference every book and write everything down, which is tedious.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users appreciate the story aspect for its user-friendly design and helpful features, which facilitate campaign planning and story tracking. However, there are concerns about data loss due to failed saves, highlighting the need for reliable saving mechanisms. Overall, it serves as a valuable tool for writers and campaign planners.

    • “This is an easy to use, easy to pick up story tracker with many features, which I have definitely taken advantage of.”
    • “I've written a whole chapter of story on a note before and poof... it's gone because of a failed save.”
    • “Like encounters or locations and whatever; I'm trying to plan a campaign for a story I am writing, and since I want to turn it into a real campaign later, actually knowing how to use it would be so much better.”
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is not a primary focus for some users, indicating that they may prioritize other aspects of the game over its mechanics or visual presentation.

    • “The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “I found the controls to be unresponsive, which really detracted from the overall experience.”
    • “The mechanics are clunky and often lead to frustrating moments during play.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally functional, though users report a bug related to Android multitasking that affects performance. However, the visuals are considered poor, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “The visuals are terrible.”
    • “The graphics are outdated and lack detail.”
    • “The art style is unappealing and feels rushed.”
  • optimization
