DM / GM Apps for the iPhone


Technology


I was taking a look at DMTools and others at the App Store, and wondered what experience and insights people had with it or others. The more flexible it is, the better, as far as 3.5/Pf, etc.


Hep?


I haven't come across much that would knock my socks off. There are the usual dice-rollers that I might use in a pinch if I didn't have enough of the actual physical ones to roll (Diceshaker, and a new one, Crit - d20 Dice Roller are my current likes - simple, uncluttered though definitely not as fancy looking as some of the 3D ones). I came across a couple of NPC name generating apps recently (Fantasy Names for Cool Characters, RPG Kit) that can come in handy when winging social encounters. RPG Kit has stated they will be adding other functions though not any specifics. There was someone on the boards a few months back plugging an app he put out that was basically the Pathfinder SRD for spells, IIRC. In terms of tools to assist in running combats or turns, haven't seen anything for Pathfinder, but there are a couple for 4e that looked interesting, just not sure how adaptable for other systems they might be.


THIS is the app that caught my attention. Looks like it's going through a little update trouble in the App store, but I'd love to hear from anybody that's used it.


I'm author of the app named PFR PFR. It contains the OGL part of the Pathfinder Reference Document. Browseable, searchable and bookmarable.

This app runs best on iPhone and iPod touch, but I just submitted v1.6 to Apple for approval (which usually takes about a week) and this upcoming version is iPad-enabled, meaning it looks really nice on the iPad as well!

There is another thread dedicated to discussing the PFR app, in case your interested.
