## Description

PRD Characters lets you create, level up, and manage Pathfinder (PRD) characters. It guides you through ability scores, class and race selections, feat choices, spells, and more, with pop-up score calculations and the ability to adjust calculations as needed. The app also includes a built-in die roller and comprehensive spell tracking for slots, preparation, and casting.

Two auto-renewing subscriptions (3 months and 1 year) unlock full features, including higher character levels, access to Core Rulebook and Advanced Player's Guide classes, and additional races.

## Review summary

The app is lauded for ease of use, usefulness for character creation/tracking, and a modern, appealing UI. However, repeated criticisms focus on readability problems from light color schemes and insufficient customization (dark mode/contrast options). Users also want more content (additional books) and have noted some tip/tutorial readability issues. Overall, it’s considered among the best Pathfinder apps, with clear potential if readability and content gaps are addressed.

### Pros

- Easy to use for building and tracking characters.
- Very helpful as a reference for theory crafting.
- Visually appealing, modern UI and solid overall functionality.
- Praised as one of the best Pathfinder apps; developers are praised for the work.

### Cons

- Major readability issues due to low-contrast, light text on light backgrounds; users want a usable dark mode.
- Lack of UI customization for color schemes/text; no option for black text or higher-contrast themes.
- Content library is limited; requests for more books/content.
- Tip pop-ups and tutorials are hard to read because of color choices and display issues.
