Ratings and reviews

Enjoyed the previous version but really like all of the improvements in 2.0! Tons of portraits and descriptions. Nice to quickly be able to show character images to players in just a couple taps. One item for developers, I was unable to scroll the list of races in the portrait selection. It came up but did not have the scroll. (Android 7.0). Not a huge deal since I could scroll down the page itself. Nicely done and a handy tool for GMs.

At its core, this is a great app. However the character descriptions are lacking. It's great if you need an NPC on the fly mid session but if you sit and continue to generate characters you start to notice a lot of them having the exact same script fairly often. If a little more variation was applied to this part of the app it would be 5 stars hands down.

I think the set up of this app is great and it has a lot of potential. I like that I can have private dm notes and still send the npc sheets to my players. Very easy to use unlike a lot of dm tools. Two complaints I have: - i am experiencing a bug when editing the npc description, almost like my auto complete is acting up. Very inconvenient. - it would be great to have a larger quantity of generated unique descriptions (which takes time of course)
