About this game

This app provides a lightweight, convenient, and ad-free way to manage your Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition spellbook and determine relevant spell properties while playing. Separate lists of favorite, known, and prepared spells can each be kept for multiple characters. No network connection is required.

Included are spells from four D&D 5e sourcebooks:
-Player's Handbook
-Xanathar's Guide to Everything
-Tasha's Cauldron of Everything
-Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide

Spells can be searched by name for quick access. You can also sort and filter the spells by a variety of options. Sorting is two-level, with the option to set each level to ascending/descending. Sortable fields include:
-Name
-School
-Level
-Range
-Duration
-Casting Time

Spells can be filtered by any combination of the following:
-Level
-Components
-Sourcebook
-School
-Casting Time
-Duration
-Range
-Concentration
-Ritual

All of the necessary information about spellcasting, both general and class-specific, can be accessed via the info button in the top right.

Other features include:
-Pull down to refresh current spell list, if necessary
-Long press on a star button to unselect all other options of the same type

Ratings and reviews

Get this instead of D&D beyond. Genuinely the best way to organize and look up spells on the fly, and easy to use. You can also make custom spell lists for multiple characters which is real convenient. Note to the devs, There is an error in the Contagion spell. It says that the disease in Contagion activates if the melee spell attack hits, but it shouldn't activate unless that creature also fails three saving throws. However this is the only error I have seen so far in 2 years of using this app.

Excellent app, but I can only rate it four stars because it lacks one feature that would truly make it amazing: homebrew spells. Unless I'm blind, I can't find a way to create homebrew spells. The campaign I'm in currently has some homebrew wizard spells that are being given to me, and I hate having to look at this and my notes to get the full range of spells available to me. Add in this feature, and it's an easy five stars.

It's a decent app. I love that it has the spells from the newest books (so many apps don't). But the grey font on the parchment style background is hard on the eyes. It really should be a lighter background with black text to increase the contrast. There's a version update notification about dark mode settings being adjusted to increase constant, but I can't find that setting anywhere in the app. I also wish that it included a builder for counters.

What’s new

This is a bugfix update that fixes two issues:
- Fix an issue where the arrow buttons used for sorting could not respect the current theme
- Fix an issue where the action bar could be hidden in certain windows, preventing backwards navigation
