Hero Lab Character Import Lite for Android
I love this app. Works well w my characters, no issues loading or switching btw characters. Minor issues with casters knowing which spells have been cast, although it does track usage in general. Conditions are not available yet. With a better spell tracking (especially for meorized spell usage) amd conditions, it would be a 5!
I love the app and is extremely useful as I don't have to carry many sheets of paper, so it is an environmentally friendly. My only complaint so far is with my Kineticist character. His kinetic blast is not listed under the attacks tab.
Everytime I import for either Google or Dropbox some how negatives get added to my skills. The spells don't know what dice should be rolled like everywhere else. Any special edits are not even read. I might as well use a pdf reader
I do not see race, class, there's no breakdown of skills. It's not bad, but it's not very good
It doesn't import attributes or much. Completely useless app.
Not bad, but needs to have ability toggles.
Can't make a character can only demo character.
Ridiculous if you have 5 buttons and none are to create a new character
Very nice app, does pretty much everything you would need it to for this. My only complaint is that it does not allow prepared casters to change their prepared spells nor does it keep track of which spells you casted all ready. It does keep a record of your spellbook so it makes that easier. For sorcerers, bards and the like it does keep track of spells per day so yhats nice. Other than that it is a great alternative to the stack of papers that would be your Hero Lab character sheet.
What is the point if you can't create a new character
Needs conditions to be added (coming soon, I see). Also spell-like abilities are not being pulled through.
This app is great if you already know the character in play, but far less so if your DM needs a look since I didn't see a race/class/level field anywhere. I would also seriously recommend a way to list companions such as mounts and hirelings so players can quickly access cohort sheets. Other than that it's pretty top notch looking. I'll probably buy the full version if I like it.
Just got Hero Lab, really loved the amount of detail in this viewer. Wish I could see the notes on skill checks, but the sheer amount of information presented it amazing already. Reserving on star for that, and not being able to toggle conditions.
Great if you need a random character in seconds and dont care what it is. Otherwise useless.
I cannot use the same device to prepare my campaign, will I need to buy multiple instances and does my information sync across multiple devices and platforms? (Android and three separate windows PCs)
I know it says this isn't able to create a new character, but you can't really see much about your character, or edit them. If i could do that, easily at least a 4 star
This app is fantastic for those who don't own their own copy of Hero Lab or those of us who do and either have a battery die or forget our stuff. RNG is fair. Good use of space, and displays all info needed to play. You guys should talk to lone wolf and get on that team developing this more.
Ac isn't calculating max dexterity bonus. I have a +4 from dex and am wearing a chain shirt, and it is only giving me +3 from dex. Chain shirts allow up to +4 from dex.
Thank you, for pointing out the dice roller on the attack tab. Now, it is the best free app that I have. I may have to upgrade just because you guys deserve it.
Without the ability to add conditions, this won't be used much. Bought the full app anyway, in anticipation of conditions coming soon! Spell lists are currently very cumbersome and difficult to navigate through. Also, startup guide lists this does not have Google Drive support, but it worked fine. Kudos to you! Keep up the good work and thanks
There is so character generated in the android store that can make a importable file. Leaving Monday to use the app.
Needs conditions to be added (coming soon, I see). Also spell-like abilities are not being pulled through.
I like this app a lot but it doesn't tell me what hand I am wielding a weapon in. I was also wondering what the difference was between this and the paid version.
Overall I really like it. Did notice that Dwarven war axes are not registering as proficient for dwarves causing low attack values.
Good app. I've noticed that it sets your attack bonus to 0 by subtracting an equal amount of your appropriate stat modifier under the miscellaneous column. For example my character has a +2 strength, but a -2 misc modifier and a +3 dex, but a -3 misc modifier. It's not a huge deal as it calculates it correctly on the weapon page, but wanted to let you know.
I like this so far, but a suggestion would be to allow user defined trackers (if possible). I have a couple things that aren't showing up (touch of chaos for example), but if I were able to track within the app it would be nice.
The app looks nice and it functions as advertised. I've seen my friends use the full version on their computers and I'm sure this would be a wonderful addition to their experience. However, I don't have the full version on my computer and there doesn't seem to be a way to create new characters with this app. Adding this functionality would give this app a full 5 stars for me.
Nice app setup is clean, no huge issues, definitely worth it for use with NPCs instead of printing out sheets.
Drains battery faster than many other apps even when WiFi is turned off. I can stream movies on my Android Tablet with less drain over the same period of time - about 3 hours. Still bringing my paper backup to game sessions. Hope a bug fix is on the way.
Need to be able to create my own character. I have the pc version of this and i quite enjoy it. Mobile version would be good if importing was not the only option. Id like to make my own character.
Nice app, but it crashes when trying to load a portfolio file with 10+ characters in it.
Recommended for anyone using Herolab.
Takes imports and places info into tabs. Tracking current has felt easy too. Not great for doing changes mid game.
Couldnt figure out how to create a new character
Great app
The app seems stuck in landscape mode for me. Also the ad banner is quite intrusive and takes up too much space on the screen. Solution could be one big ad between the screens every 30 minutes perhaps
I would love to see it useable in portrait mode for phone usage. The has great potential.
I found this app yesterday. Very solid App and it emulates many of the things that Apple Version does. One thing I would like to see if access from local storage on any location or google drive.
