Shiny! Looking forward to the DM client.

Can you mark powers as used? Recharge encounter powers only on slow rests? Track milestones and action points? Are item powers displayed among other powers?

Some feedback, based exclusively on the screenshots.

The equipment screenshot seems to waste a lot of space for armor (two items at the most - three if you include neck-slot items). I would like it better if the areas collapsed and expanded as needed. I like the fact that armor, weapons and implements have their own slots, but a paragon level or higher character is going to do a lot of scrolling.

I don't see a place where the Theme and Background are displayed.

I recommend adding immediate and oppotunity action powers on the "combat" screen, with their triggers displayed.

Yes, if a power has uses (Encounter / Daily you can mark it as used).
Action points are at the top of the Combat tab and Milestones and Rests can are done via the button at the very bottom of the combat tab. If an item has a power with it it is show on the power screen with the rest of the powers.

You can collapse\expand each section manually to allow space for what you want to view.

I don't see a place where the Theme and Background are displayed.

They currently are not, added to the 1.1 feature list.

We will consider this. Im not sure how well this will work on phone devices as they have less screen to work with. Maybe we can show the Action on the normal power list so you can identify interrupts and reaction easier?

Thanks for the feedback.
