end just bought it, it looks interesting. He pointed out that it allows for export of the spell list. Any chance of allowing an import option? The ability to type in your own custom spells to have them all in one place would certainly make the app more useful as a single go-to point for spell lists.

Spell imprt is quite a bit harder to do right, so I haven't made any concrete plans to add it to the app yet. Bulk import is tricky, since the spells would have to be saved in a specific format the app could understand. Direct user entry of spells is more straightforward, but typing a lot of text on a mobile device is not a great experience.

I try to do regular updates to the app to incorporate new spells as they are added to www.d20pfsrd.com so that users have access to as many Open Content spells as possible out of the box (with an option to hide non-core spells for strict DMs).

What are the sources of the spells that you would want to import into the app? Are they from Paizo or 3rd party sourcebooks? If so, do you know if are proprietary, or if they were released as Open Content under the OGL? Or are they homebrew spells created by DMs or players?

Just bought your app

2 things that I would love to see
- a iOS as opposed to an iPhone exclusive version, so it scales to full size on my iPad
- a spell book mode where it it is favorites by character name (and you specify for what class that character is) then organized by level.

Thanks for the suggestions! Both of these features are on the roadmap.

It has the APG class lists, does it contain the APG spells?

Yes, as of version 1.2 it has the APG classes and spells.


I have recently published an app for iPhone and iPod Touch that makes referencing spells quick and easy. The app includes all the spells from the System Reference Document as well as quite a few spells released as Open Content in other sources. You can search for spells by name or anything in the spell description, as well as browse by spell name, class, or cleric domain. You can save your spells in a list of favorites for quick reference. Finally, cross-references to other spells mentioned in spell descriptions link directly to the mentioned spell. Reading up on resist energy and and quite remember how protection from energy works? Just click on the link instead of flipping pages.

You can find it on the iTunes app store.

I welcome feedback and suggestions, and try to keep the app as useful as possible to everyone. so feel free to email me at contact at srd dash spellbook dot com.

Enjoy!
