Sorry guys, if I wanted something that looked like a character sheet I would print one off, I use DnD Beyond on my iPad so I can access everything I need without having to switch what I am loooking at, please, please, PLEASE put an option in so we can switch back to the old style!!!
I agree, I do like the new look when using a computer with a large resolution but when using smaller devices it just gets too messy and confusing having to keep swapping in-between different tabs. At least you could just scroll through your whole character and find stuff with out opening & then closing tabs to find stuff on smaller devices.
I still love the system but not sure about forcing this change on everyone though, would be nice to be able to choose the style for different devices played on.
Seems much easier and intuitive to find things to me. I'm having no issues using mobile on my tablet or phone. Give it ot a bit of time to get used to it. There are a lot of knee-jerk "I hate it" posts showing up...
Yeah, the communication Part of this update went poorly. No progress reports, zero social Media posts or answers.
I am sorry for the frustration, but we can't provide progress reports when we don't have the answers ourselves. Having never released an update of this nature before, we had no reliable estimates. Posting that "we think it will be back up in 2 hours" and not hitting that mark would create disappointment that outweighed the disappointment at the ambiguity.
Having said that, we now have at least a little bit of data if we have any updates of this scope in the future and will have more reliable estimates. Thanks!

I am trying to understand what you mean by "smaller devices." The old sheet format created a situation where players had to swipe several times to get to all the sections on a phone. Are you referring to some sort of tablet? If so, please share what kind where we can consider that in this feedback.

Yes, that's understandable, but it was really silent and the only official communication channel was in read only mode. Just a simle "we are working on it, no ETA yet, an update comes in 1 hour" will do. Said that, i appreciate your work and love to see ddb growing and developing =)

I think what KyeDJ mentioned, is that swiping was way easier and faster then looking for the menu button and then deciding what tab to pick to get all attack action options - is it spells, is it combat, is it inventory? Decisions over decisions.
