It takes all your information, spreads it out over ten different pages, and doesn't really do anything with it. You can collapse sections to half size, but without the ability to rearrange them (which I couldn't find), there's not much point in doing so. Text lookups are nice, but calculations for things like class features aren't really there. There are trackers for expendable features, which is handy. None of the numbers are directly rollable (there's a dice roller in the corner, but you can't just, say, tap your Acrobatics skill and make a roll). Made a druid; you can pick your animal companion and display the base stats, but there's no place to track them, and improvements from leveling up just show up as a separate class feature. Wild Shape tells you it works like Beast Shape without linking you to that spell or listing forms you can take or their statistics. Less than helpful.The nifty "turn your iPad sideways and get a PDF character sheet" feature is still there, and if that's all you want, it's well done.  But a digital character sheet should be better than paper, and it just isn't. What it gets right is more than offset by what it gets wrong and how difficult it is to navigate.  I can't imagine that using this would do anything except slow you down. The library module is nice, but the much-hyped intelligent hyperlinking is a bit hit or miss. Tap something like the word "class" in the PRD and you're never entirely sure where it's going to take you.The rules integration itself is another problem. It only contains the races, classes, and spells from the Core Rulebook right now, which would be OK except that there's no way to add options from other sources (at least none that I could figure out). And… well, it's Pathfinder. There are already so many great options for Pathfinder, most of which have integrated the material much better and much more thoroughly. This is one of the best looking presentations I've seen, and the inclusion of the library, campaign, and party modules is all pretty fantastic… but I just can't imagine using this character sheet at all. A shame, really.</blockquote>
