[QUOTE="hardvice, post: 7679182, member: 6777838"] Exactly this. The Hero Lab iOS app may not be all that pretty to look at, but they've implemented every nuance of every feature from everything Paizo's ever released. It's there and it actually works… class features are activatable and modify your character as they should. It's certainly not cheap, especially if you're buying modules for it on top of buying physical and electronic releases of the books, but it's nearly perfect in giving you an actually usable character. And you can add custom content, though it's a bit hermetic to do so. Why anyone would take that on — to say nothing of lots of other perfectly serviceable options — with a product that's just not that complete or ready to go is beyond me. I will say this for Trapdoor's app: I went back and tried rearranging the sheet using the pinch gesture, and it's better: you can get it down to about 4 pages. It's a bit awkward, as the boxes like to move around kind of unpredictably as you're moving them, and accidentally expanding half-height boxes afterwards can totally wreck your layout, but it's more usable.
