HERO System Mobile

Slack Day Studio

About this app

This app lets you bring your characters with you and play them on your phone using built-in dice-rolling tools.

Some key features:

* import 5th/6th edition characters from Hero Designer files directly
* roll characteristic or skill checks from the character sheet
* use the dice rolling tools to play the game
* shake the phone on die-rolling screens to make a roll!
* the app locally tracks cumulative statistics about your die rolls that you can review
* includes the H.E.R.O. tool that randomly generates a 5th edition character built on 250 points

Ratings and reviews

Good, also found a bug. Flash effect seems to count the dice wrong. On a 6 it counts it as a 0, and on a 1 counts it as 2, for purposes of determining BODY. Good but would like to be able to not require to import characters but be able to make them in the app.

I loved the original app, and I am very excited about the update that let's me read the .hdc files directly instead of having to export them! I had a problem with some of my files and emailed the developer and got help from him and he was able to tell me how to fix my files so they work! Awesome support!

I'm revising my earlier review. I was able to get the app working if the update broke it by clearing the data under the apps details in Android. Uninstalling didn't work, only clearing data under storage settings in the Hero app details.

What’s new

Fixes a crash on startup. If the app showed an error about "CursorWindow" instead of opening after you upgraded, this fixes it. Your characters are safe — they were never deleted, and this restores them automatically. Please don't uninstall or clear app data first.

Powers now show what they actually do. Teleportation, Flight and Stretching show their distance, attacks show their dice, Barrier and Endurance Reserve show their numbers. No character's cost changes.
