[QUOTE="AmerginLiath, post: 7669358, member: 777"] In regards to the iOS/Android question, I'd imagine that it's the same reason that many apps like this release on iOS slightly earlier. Because iOS has less versions and interfaces on the market, it's often said to be easier to send out the first version to iPhone/iPad users, where the smaller install-base is actually a benefit in reporting the initial design issues while the final coding for Android (especially dealing with the various versions across the globe) is completed. I downloaded the app, but haven't gotten the chance to go through the first issue fully yet. I like the use of the Newsstand mechanism as a way of pushing through content, and I'm glad to see that WotC is continuing to focus on giving us a lot of free material. The major reason that I never got into 4e was that I didn't go into the digital tools and quickly fell behind the digital errata (such that my physical copies of the books felt out of date quickly for a system that I had little mastery in). The way that 5e is being managed is perfect for those of us who aren't able to afford spending a lot of money on the hobby any longer at this point in our lives. And the style of information being produced is very nice, rather than the plethora of new crunch that the last fifteen years inundated us with. [/QUOTE]
