I'm happy to share that the D&D Beyond mobile app has now entered the beta phase and is available to the public in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
For the initial beta release, we have focused on eReader access for all of your Compendium content. Other parts of the DDB toolset - such as the spells, magic items, and monsters listings, homebrew creation, or the character builder/ sheet - will be added in later phases of the beta. We'll share more about those elements when we have updates.
Just as with the website beta period, the Compendium forms the backbone of everything that comes after it, so we're taking a similar approach for the mobile app. We truly appreciate your help during beta testing to polish the app further and prepare for the future phases.
For now, enjoy the freedom of having your D&D digital library available anytime, anywhere!
Note: If you participated in the alpha, we highly recommend that you uninstall/ delete the alpha version of the app and use a fresh beta install!
App Description:
Access all of your Dungeons & Dragons content anywhere you go with the D&D Beyond reader.
- D&D products. Browse, unlock, and read the entire Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition library.
- Offline access. Never miss your books, even in areas without wifi coverage.
- Bookmarks and Search. Find the rules you need when you need them!
- Display options. Read as you like in book, clean, or night modes.
Thank you!! ! I did that and while it started with red bars, I somehow switched it to grey. Which I'm also not complaining about.
What about the toolset that lets you create characters? Does anyone know if that will be included in the app?
Yes, it will added.
Would like the possibility of being able to download my compendium stuff to my SD card instead of internal storage.
Also noticed a bug where, if you'd opened Lost Mines of Phandelver, trying to open the Basic Rules via the big "View Basic Rules"-button causes the app to crash. This was on a Samsung XCover 4, Android version 7.0. You're probably aware of it already, but thought it worth pointing out.
Are there any promotional coupon/codes for the launch of this? I feel like it would help promote it by giving players a chance to use the PDF feature!
Can we use it to create characters like the web feature?
If I have pdf’s of the books is there a way for me to be able to use them without having to buy them again
Love to see a Kindle Fire version...
It would be nice if I could download the books that were unlocked for my campaign in the main DND beyond section. Without having to buy them specifically for the app.
Accessing the books is all well and good but what about characters we have created. Why cant I access the characters I play?
Are there plans for a windows desktop app to view the library offline too?
Because you must have patience young padawan, or you'll be seduced into the dark side.
Any chance you are looking for a Software Engineering Intern over the summer that could help roll out some of these features.
You should probably contact them directly instead of in a thread; imo.
