## Description

Game Master Pathfinder RPG helps you run your Pathfinder game more efficiently. Set up encounters, track initiative, roll attacks, and manage a rich campaign from a single app. It includes a campaign manager, an encounter tracker for initiative and HP, a monster/PC stat sheet, a monster editor, and a built-in compendium drawn from the Pathfinder Bestiary and Core Rulebook.

Additional features include a rules quick reference that acts as a GM screen, a versatile dice roller, and an easy mode for fudging dice if needed. The app is free to download with a six-combatant limit; upgrade to ad-free premium to unlock all encounters.

## Review summary

Users praise the app as a comprehensive DM toolkit for planning campaigns, encounters, and notes, with strong customization (homebrew content, NPCs/monsters) and reliable combat/initiative features, plus cross‑campaign reuse and export/import aids. Recurrent drawbacks include data integrity issues (compendium entries disappearing or going empty), tedious save flows and a call for auto‑save, UI/navigation changes that feel intrusive, content gaps (NPCs, non‑SRD content, imports from other systems), and general stability issues (bugs and crashes). Overall it’s highly valuable for DMing, but reliability and content completeness need attention.

### Pros

- All-in-one DM toolkit for planning campaigns, encounters, and notes.
- Strong customization options: create and edit monsters/NPCs and homebrew content for reuse across games.
- Solid combat support: initiative tracking and built-in dice rolls that streamline large encounters.
- Content persistence across sessions and multiple campaigns (save and reuse monsters/NPCs; run several campaigns concurrently).
- Helpful export/import tools and tutorials, with responsive developer support.

### Cons

- Data integrity issues: monsters or entries can disappear or the compendium can become empty after saving or purchase.
- Save flow and auto-save improvements needed; current process requires manual saves per page and can be tedious.
- Interface and navigation have been broken by updates; many reviewers call for the old UI or an option to revert.
- Content gaps and import limitations: missing NPCs, can't import from certain systems (e.g., Fight Club 3.5), limited templates/class levels, and missing Starfinder support.
- Bugs and performance problems: crashes, slowdowns, and post-update glitches.
