Ratings and reviews

One of the best ways to view/search dnd spells easily. Let's you search by level, class, school, components, range, duration, cast time, and major source books (phb 14 & 24, xgte, and Tasha's). All spells appear to be accurate and there are no obvious bugs. No ads are present in this collection and the app functions well overall. The app could use an update to improve visual clarity but overall I would definitely recommend.

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.

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

The spellbook has been updated to include spells from Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn.

Additionally, this update adds the ability to add shortcuts to specific spells on the home screen.
