I posted a beta version of my pathfinder tool set I've been working on for a little bit now. This ones geared towards players but what sets it apart from some other character sheets is that it automatically calculates bonuses, keeps track of different stats, automatically. It pulls in data from various databases for spells, classes, weapons, armor, effects, items, conditions.... list goes on.
What it does well,
Tracks classes, feats, traits, stats, skills, equipment, hp, spells, and makes rolling skills and attacks fairly easily. Things like calculating your 9 flurry attacks and prompting users to either attack with weapon, unarmed, shuriken, trip, sunder, disarm.
What it doesn't do well,
Archetypes aren't well supported yet. only a few "abilities" such as channel energy are working, spell casts don't do much more then give raw data, and the interface still needs a lot of work for starters.
Future goals,
Build a at a glance summary of rolls to accommodate those who prefer to roll the dice by hand and don't want the app to do the rolling (on button click), integrate in a DM assistant and network players via a central web server to allow for asynchronous playing. IE push notifications to let you know its your turn to act.
The beta is free and I update it regularly, any feedback is welcome.

Just installed the lite version; I'm a bit lost as to where to start? Looks like you go Characters (3rd button down?), then the + icon to begin with, go through each of the tabs and then make sure you hit the save icon. Autosave would be handy here.
Not sure what the Editor does, seems to be the same as Characters? But only edits?
Also the splash screen on startup stays up for about 30 odd seconds, is that normal?

Thanks for the reply, the feedback helps a lot in improving the application. Sorry for the late response, I don't monitor this post very much as you can see your the first person in a year to respond here. ;) Send me an email if you have additional questions at lancer1977@gmail.com, to your questions:
1. The splash screen stays up that long because it's building the databases when you first run the application. I should have realized some more feedback was needed to let the users know what it was doing. I'll make sure to address that in the next release.2. The menu icon at the top, and the characters button serve the same purpose. It takes you to the list of saved characters you have on your device (if any). It will allow you to reset to a empty character if ones already loaded.
3. To use the application, you need to go into the editor and fill out the stats, and selections for your character. The equipment page also needs to be updated (in the combat menu, probably could use a link in the editor screen as well honestly.)
Once you have all of that updated, I'd advise going into your character menu and saving. It does try to save the character if you make a new one, or leave the application but if it is terminated early it may not save. After this the combat menu becomes useful. Roll skills, attacks, etc.
Good hunting!
