Apple has finally approved version 1.06 which should hopefully address the racial ability score bonuses for some of the newer races along with a few other bug fixes. Please let me know if you come across any other issues. Thanks again for the bug report.

Both the Android and iOS versions of the app export characters in the same format, so you should be able to import/export between them with no problem.

I could definitely look into adding additional resource tracking buttons, but I'm not sure where the best place to put them is. Where would you like to see them included? I guess one possibility would be to offer the option to change one or both of the current proficiency and attack ability...

I'm going to take a look into those issues and they should be fixed in the next update. Thanks for letting me know.

I've been working on a mobile character sheet and character creator: Fifth Edition Character Sheet for both Android and iPhone/iPad. Feedback is always welcome, so if you have any suggestions, comments, or feature requests, feel free to let me know.

You might want to look into the crossbow expert feat. Part of it reads: When you use the Attack action and attack with a one-handed weapon, you can use a bonus action to attack with a loaded hand crossbow you are holding. Since a hand crossbow is itself a one-handed weapon, this feat would let...

Shields state that they are carried in one hand, so you would only have a single hand free. Longbows, shortbows, light and heavy crossbows all have the two-handed property which means they require two hands to use, so no they could not be fired while using a shield. You could, however, wield a...

I think this is a perfectly reasonable house rule. It does, however, skew more toward benefiting people with bonus actions to spare, but that probably wouldn't be much of an issue. The only question I have is who provokes the attacks? You might want to clarify whether the person aiding, the...

Now I'm wondering if the DMG might have alternate xp progression charts. It seems like you could really effect the tone of a game in a meaningful way just by specifically altering the leveling curve. This is probably not in the cards, but it does make for an interesting thought experiment.

When I saw the title of this post my first thought was that someone has having a narrative problem with the feat, not a mechanical one. Anyway, to answer your question, I would probably leave it completely up to the player, but I wouldn't mind giving a little reminder if the situation was dire...

Hmm... I think I like this idea. I've thought that a flat +5 to initiative in a system with such a gentle curve might be a little too much. Replacing it with proficiency would give the bonus stretched over many levels, and I might be more okay with that. I had previously be considering simply...

If you're bothered by the whole abstract hp notion, then I think that your idea is a pretty decent solution for a slow to moderate healing option. You will need to watch out for pacing issues, since the game will generally expect the players to start each day with a larger pool of healing...

Thanks for all the input. I'll see what I can do about some of your suggestions. Your ideas for the spell page will probably be the quickest to implement, and I agree that there should be a way to restore used spell slots. I'm not sure that I'll be able to add any import/export options right...

So it's been more than two months since the basic rules came out and about a month since the PHB, but looking around the Android Play Store there are essentially no fifth edition related apps to be found. I figured I could try to change that, so I've been working on a free character sheet...

Here's a more complete transcription of what Mike Mearls said in response to the question:
