## Review summary

Users appreciate the app as a useful, frequently updated tool for browsing Pathfinder 2e content on mobile, with an easy-to-use saving system and good alternatives to mobile browsers. However, common complaints include scrolling difficulties, slower performance over time, lack of offline caching, occasional loading errors, and a less-than-ideal user interface. Overall, it's valued by Pathfinder players and DMs but has room for improvements in usability, stability, and offline access.

### Pros

- Very handy and useful for browsing Pathfinder 2e Nethys content especially on mobile devices.
- Easy to use with a good saving or bookmarking system.
- Frequently updated by the developer to maintain functionality and improve the app.
- Provides faster and more streamlined access to Pathfinder 2e content compared to directly using a browser on mobile.

### Cons

- Scrolling issues on pages reported by multiple users, making navigation difficult.
- Performance has declined over time with slower page loads, sometimes slower than using a mobile browser directly.
- Lacks offline functionality or caching, so it requires internet access and reloads pages frequently.
- Some users report errors when loading pages (e.g., net::ERR\_CONTENT\_DECODING\_FAILED), indicating stability or compatibility issues on some Android versions.
- User interface needs improvement and some users find it suboptimal or difficult to navigate.
