[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6873954, member: 37579"] [b]1 out of 5 rating for Playbook (for PRD)[/b] It's telling when there aren't even enough reviews of an app for iTunes to give it a rating. I downloaded Playbook, which took a while to find given the number of other apps with that name. Unfortunate branding. It was slow. Even after seven months and change, the "Forge" feature was *still* forthcoming. The PRD/ character creator *only* included the Core Rulebook. The book reader feature was painfully slow between pages. There is a "bookmark" tool that allows you to mark pages. But I saw no way of quickly moving to bookmarks, making it useless. There is a table of contents, but only for each chapter. A few have lists of contents (classes) so you can click classes and then click "rogue" and go right to that class (after 10-30 seconds of load screens). But the combat section will still require flipping. And with no search function, you can't skim to "grappling" for example or browse for keywords. So the book function is subpar compared to even a mediocre PDF reader. There is a linking feature that connects references to linked sections. But this is poorly implemented. For example, the "rogue talents" link in the rogue table it moved me to the shadowdancer section. Every time I tried to download the PRD monster book, it failed. So I can't even comment on the handling of monsters. With zero splatbook support this app is of zero use to Pathfinder players. Terrible experience overall and the impression of very little progress in the past six-seven months since it went live. [/QUOTE]
