Thanks! I'm checkin it out right now!

Not sure if you are looking for any minor tweaks or suggestions but in the event that you are.

Option to turn off the haptic vibration. I for one hate that feature on my phone. Turn it off for every app that uses it if and when I can.

Add a button or buttons once you've added a creature that allows you to duplicate that creature or add the master/normal version of it without having to go through the overlord icon again.

Add a general option for campaign levels and # of players rather than having to make the choice each time you choose a critter. Or choose campaign vs vanilla. Then within that choice you could have campaign level of beast/eldritch/humanoid or # of players for vanilla.

Alphabetize the critter list or something. If previous suggestion then have them by category if campaign is chosen.

Maybe change the term used from Major to Master.

Really like it so far though. Just see lots of potential for it to be better.

Hello, yes i'm really open to any suggestion.

I will implements your porpositions in the next version.

Thanks for the feedback, and i hope FFG will be pleased to see this kind of application.

Hello,

The version 1.1.0 is available. It constains a great part of Dragon76 suggestions. The other will come a few later.

WARNING : Don't forget to click on the " Restore default XML " button on the preference page, as the XML evolved to add class information (beast, humanoid, eldritch)

Enjoy ;)

Very nice.

I would still like a way to add multiple creatures off of the first creature or as a choice when looking for creatures. ie I've played a Beastman war party and go to choose my critters. I check two beastmen and the master beastman before returning to the home screen OR choose the option of the war party which pulls all three to the home screen, OR choose a beastman of either type and tap a button on the home screen beast stat sheet to bring up a either a duplicate of the original or the master/normal version of the creature I just 'created'.

Additionally I greatly appreciate the alphabetized list, however having all the named monsters as part of the same list makes it a little cumbersome. Is it possible to create multiple lists. Could do one for named critters and then the regular. Could even split the regulars up as Eldritch, Humanoid and Beast to make the lists shorter. Appreciate the search function but found it somewhat limited (if I type sor_, where _ is an extra space the search didn't bring up anything. Smaller lists would allow you to do away with the search or only need to use it in limited circumstances.

Hope I'm not being to demanding in my suggestions. I have no idea how to code any of what I'm suggesting or how complex it may be. Just trying to get some extra functionality to your app.

Once again, great work.

would prefer to have just named and others split. ignore monster classes (eldtrich/beast/human) and put them all together. that's faster and you don't have to know the classes by hard.

Hi,

Version 1.2.0 available

- Allow to copy a creature (not named) into the same crature or into the other type (normal/master)

- Enhance monster selection list (categories: All, Chiefs, Monsters, Beast, Humanoid, Eldritch), so everybody would be happy ;)

- Allow to rename a monster by click its name on its card. Use full to identify several identical monsters

Don't hesitate if you want enhancement or new features !

Very nice.

This will be a very convenient application.

Only other thing I can think of would be some customizable options such as being able to choose single tap or press and hold vs. the default double tap for things like the bestiary or the kill button.

While you didn't mention it I quite like the check boxes on the lists which allow you to grab several different monsters at the same time. Makes it much faster

New version:

- Add preference for "click vs long click"

- Fix bug for horizontal phone/tab (no more fixed landscape orientation)

- Fix bug with "free" mode (when selecting monsters)

I'd love to see an Android app that lets you make your own dungeons so you can make then on the go.

Is there a use for this in the basic scenarios? I played around with it and I didn't really see how it would be helpful, but maybe I'm missing something.

Also, is there any chance of something similar for Heroes, where you can use the stat tracker to have a total tally of their abilities based on equipped items, skills, training, etc. From my perspective that would be even more useful than the monster version.

Hello,

Yes you can use it for basic scenario, all monster and stat are available for basi and campaign system.

For a heroes tracking sheet, i plane to do it yes, as soon as i finish my current project.

Thanks

New Version:

Don't forget to restore default XML from preference page to access new lieutenant

- Add lieutenant

- Add lieutenant level

V.1.5.0

Rework on the graphical interface to be compliant with any kind of resolution. (ex: tablets)

I just downloaded it and looks good. One issue I am having is trying to change the stats. I click on the stat and the up and down arrows come up. Problem is I can;t seem to click the up and down arrows to change the stat. Not sure if my screen no my Aria HTC is too small for it to register or what but can't seem to get it to work.

I am also having problems using the up and down arrows, it would be nice if you could highlight the option you want to change and have larger arrows (in the same location for all stats) just below. I.E. highlight the health icon and use the arrow to increase and decrease that, etc.
