## Review summary

The app is praised for its rich D&D 5e content and easy-to-use builder with frequent updates, making it a top choice. Recurrent drawbacks include ad-related frustrations impacting leveling/access, progression bugs especially around leveling/multiclassing, and export/sharing limitations that hinder printing or sharing homebrew and sheets.

### Pros

- Comprehensive content library including core 5e rules, homebrew options, spells, monsters, items, etc.
- Easy to use and intuitive character builder and campaign manager
- Free core features with an option to upgrade to remove ads and access frequent updates/content updates
- Strong homebrew support and overall usefulness for character and campaign management

### Cons

- Ads and monetization interfere with gameplay (ads sometimes not ready or blocking leveling up; ad-free option may not always be recognized)
- Leveling up and multiclass progression bugs/limitations (unreliable level-ups; cannot edit subclass variants or de-level; may require recreating characters)
- Export/sharing limitations (no PDF export; sharing homebrew or full data can be cumbersome; printing character sheets is hindered)
