Combat Manager for Android
This is a fantastic application that is capable of doing just about anything you would need it to do. It can even import portfolios from Herolab, which when combined with the Dropbox service provides an amazing way to run a campaign on the go.
This crashes about 70% of the time I switch back to it after minimizing. Whether it has saved my most recent changes is a coin flip. When it's not crashing this is an amazing app. Please fix this!
This app gets better and better. Very useful for my games. Well worth the money. Thank you and please keep up the good work.
Works well when it works, but crashes when using with more than one other app. If that was fixed it would be perfect...
This didn't work at all. I could load the information but as soon as I tried to use it while playing it crashed and erased everything I put in. If I could get a refund that would be great because this was worthless.
I loved Combat Manager on the PC. And this looked like it was going to be good as well, but everytime I clicked on a tab to go to treasures or the monster DB it would force close. I don't know if it was just me or my tablet(i am using a tablet not a phone if that is the issue?), but I had to uninstall to get my refund. If it didn't force close at every button press, it'd be well worth $5. I may try it again another day and change my review if it works.
This app rocks ,I used it to run a pathfinder session the other day and it made every thing so much easier. The only glitch encountered was with importing from hero lab. Attack details didn't import at all
I love this app. I cannot say more about it. Today I found a bug though. In the PCs side of the manager I have my characters made up and when I click on one of them it kills the app. Its only a specific one though. All the others work normally. the app also crashes when I try to add certain feats. The skills section also doesnt keep the values that I enter.
I have used this program on my computers since it first came out and I happily bought it for my android. It is without a doubt the best Pathfinder resource that I am aware of for ease of use and content, with the ability to add custom content to a point. You cannot go wrong with this program. There are some things I would like to see added, but they are minor, and personal wants.
The best of its kind, I try to get t on every device that I can.
So glad it is out on android! Single most used app for my pathfinder games
My android 4.4 nexus 7 installs the device and says "designed for phones"' but my android 4.4 nexus 5 phone says " incompatible with this version " and I can't install it. What gives?
The only reason I'm giving this app 5 stars is because they don't have more. I purchased it on Android because the PC version is free but worth it and more.
This is a fantastic application that is capable of doing just about anything you would need it to do. It can even import portfolios from Herolab, which when combined with the Dropbox service provides an amazing way to run a campaign on the go.
Used this program on PC for months, it is excellent. Looking forward to using it on my tablet as well.
I've been using the PC version of this for quite a few years, I'm glad that an android version is finally out (iOS version has been out for a while too). Is this only available for tablets? I cannot find it when I search on my Android phone.
For the most part, this is a good start, but there are a few design questions / issues that I can't help but point out. 1. When rolling initiative, why is there not a direct option manually enter the player's initiative and why, when editing it, does the button window show a series of incrementing buttons and not the standard number pad? 2. Does the initiative tracker honor the order of resolving ties? If so, there is no indication of it that I could find. 3. While the weapon editor is good, why are other fields, like Initiative locked from direct editing? If a player has an unusual modifier to his Initiative, it doesn't seem to allow that factor. 4. When adding feats, there is what appears to be a 2nd search box at the bottom of the list of feats. However using it causes a force close. What is the intended purposes? 5. While you can add things to the quick roll option by adding them as attacks, there does not appear to be a way of removing anything from the base list, like the long list of skills. Likewise, adding things to the list that are not attacks (healing spells, etc)? All in all a good start and it is in the race, but not yet at the finish line. (Xoom Tablet, 4.1.2)
At first I was hesitant too. $6 for an app, a low amount of reviews, and high ratings. Seems a little off, no? Well let me tell you, this app is worth every penny, and the reviews do not lie. Don't let the name fool you, this is much more than a combat manager. This app literally has everything you'd need as a DM on the go. Fully fleshed out combat tracker, including initiative, HP, stat blocks and a dice roller that loads the monster's modifiers automatically? Check. An encounter creator, where you can fully roll up an encounter and save to memory, so when the time comes use it all have do is hit load? Oh yeah. The entire d20pfsrd indexed and searchable? You bet. A searchable bestiary that's sortable with a variety of categories, AND lets you import your creature of choice directly into the combat tracker? If course! And lastly, the feature that sold the app for me: treasure generator. You can set the exact parameters for the generator, including the gold limits, levels and even type of loot you'd like to have, and it creates a pile of goodies. I've replaced all my other pathfinder apps with this one, as it truly does everything. Well worth the price.
This has almost everything you could want as a GM. I have tried most, if not all, the PF apps on Android and this is my favorite by far. The only thing it needs is the ability to roll perception checks for the players.
Only thing it is missing is the ability to save and load combat states
Seriously, this is the best app for pathfinder GMs and now it's on android. Worth evey penny.
After testing virtually every combat manager available on the Play Store, I can safely say that this is the best one I've seen. It is fairly easy to do just about anything, easy to add custom content, and is pre-loaded with *most* of the adventure path monsters to easily run those combats. I cannot recommend this app enough for GMs running Pathfinder games.
Seen on PC and went and bought a tablet just for it. Turns out it wasn't for Android at the time but he said he would and I waited...now my time is here and this rules. Worth the wait.
And finally on Android at last! Now to see if I can import my custom monsters from the PC version... :3
I was about to complain about importing .por files as I had a crash each time. But... it would seem the wonderful developer has already loaded the big baddies from Pathfinder APs already! You rock!
The combat portion is not overly intuitive, but generally works once you dive in and test things out. The easy access to DBs and treasure are quite nice, and are one of the more compelling reasons to use this app. Unfortunately, the app doesn't easily import PCGen data, so I have to use the desktop for conversion. Other minor quibbles, grumble, grumble. Still, I'll try it again the next time I play...
So glad it is out on android! Single most used app for my pathfinder games
Thank you Kyle for releasing this on android.
Love this app, it does everything I need it do! what amazing job Thank you!

I was thinking that this would actually allow me to create Monsters and help me keep track of it however that's not the case. For me it's hard to keep track of them because I create my own monsters. I wish there was a feature that would let you add your own monsters to this application I would be more than willing to rate five stars and recommend this application to everybody I know that plays Pathfinders and Dungeons& Dragons if you were to add a feature that allows you to create a monster from scratch and save it to the application. Otherwise this app is not very useful to me. P.s. if there is a way to add custom monsters please tell me.
