This is so cool! Can we change/manage spells/equipment that characters have in the app?

App is still missing what i would consider to be core functionality, that is the ability to edit my character (equipment, level up, spells etc.) within the app itself. 
would also be great to be able to see custom notes i set on features or spells. 

I'm disappointed that the Bookmark feature still doesn't allow manual export and backup in the event that users switch devices. I've lost my Bookmarks so many times in the old app due to bugs that it became an unreliable feature. Please change this. I wish everything was account-bound so that the same Bookmarks can be viewed concurrently on multiple devices. Personally I read my purchased source books on my iPad but sometimes play using my phone. Please sync the Bookmarks between devices or have the ability to export/import them manually.

I didn't care so much about switching apps as I do having to have my players switch to the browser just to manage their inventories and manage spells. Pretty disappointed that this app overhaul didn't fix the main issues that so many people have with using the app

Can anyone help me figure out how to view and switch between my campaigns on the app?

While I’m glad to see progress being made, I’m honestly curious if anyone actually uses it or the previous player’s app in a real session.  I tried, but going to the browser to edit anything about a character or add equipment just ends up with the player staying in the browser.  I honestly just don’t understand what purpose the player functionality serves as of yet in the app.

 characters can only be in a single campaign at a time...simply select the character in the specific campaign you are loooking for?

Dice are rolling fine for me.  Samsung Galaxy A10E is a pretty cheap phone.  79.99 at Walmart.

 79.99 is not cheap, especially if it's only to fix an issue in one app.

I'm glad that at least reading a compendium can be switched to a light mode. Now if only the rest of the app (including the list of said compendiums) wouldn't try to abuse my eyes with this awfully contrasted dark theme, I'd be able to use the app properly.

Until then I just have to keep the reader app installed and avoid touching this new merged black eyekiller.

man the new app sounds cool but my tablet isnt compatible...hopefully the reader will still get some updates??

You can change the settings (or at least I can on my iPad). It's just not intuitive. Open a book, then click on the three dots in the top right corner. "Display Settings" pops up and you can adjust between light and dark modes, spacing, font size etc.

 That setting only affects the "pdf viewer"; that is, when you read the compendium content of a book. It does not change how the listing of said books appear, or the character sheets, or checking any items in the listings section, or any other part of the app. Just the background and font colour for the text of the books when you view them as books. So if I don't want my eyes to burn, I can't use the better part of the app. The old reader app could at least have the listings shown in a visual, not eye-scathing way. This new app lost that feature too.

very sad that the new version doesn't support ios versions below 13 :(

 I don't understand... I am able to manage spells and my equipment from inside the app without it going to a browser. The equipment management was added as of this update I believe, as I did not notice it before.

I can't access Volos guide to monsters even if i have purchased it on site, it requires me to buy again 

Looks great and works great too.
Are there plans of adding encounter builder and campaign features for DMs?

I hope the old reader app remains for a while, because it's much easier to navigate (and works much faster).

I’m having the same issue as well. It still won’t allow for spell management and such on mine either. Not sure why... actually came here to see if someone could offer a solution. 

Honest question: what's the selling point for this over the DDB mobile website (which is excellent!)? Because I found no real benefit with the previous apps.

Nooooo pls consolidated apps always suck, I’m fact you need more apps, like the encounter combat tool should be its own app.

 

Independent apps definitely have advantages (and I can't imagine the UI for this is going to be anywhere close to streamlined at first.)

But it should reduce some redundancies and allow for faster updates, along with other nice features if integrated well, so it will be nice if it DOES turn out like we hope. Guess we'll find out.

I'm just wondering how many steps it's going to be to switch back and forth between the character sheet and the PHB.
