PrismScroll Sheets for Android

I was really looking for an app that would allow me to make character sheets for other RPGs that were not 5e, pathfinder, Starfinder etc. As I tend to branch out to other RPGs, such as RISUS, OVA and etc. Of course the problem with finding apps forsaking character sheets for those is impossible as they lack the popularity to get their own apps. However when I heard about this app and the fact you could create any type of character sheet for any type of game, I was excited but skeptical. I jumped right into making a template for a RISUS character sheet, using an image of a RISUS character sheet template. To my surprise I was able to make a character sheet just like the original RISUS character sheet! The level of customization and detail you can put into the character sheets is incredible and met my relatively simple needs. I am going to try and make a more complicated sheet next from OVA and look forward to making that work as well. With all the customization options for creating easily translatable character sheets, I see myself using this app for a long time to come!

Good

I love the idea for this app. However, in its current state, it’s hard to recommend it. I tried it out hoping to take all my favorite character sheets and, with time and effort, make them work digitally. However, even the default built in sheets feel cluttered due to the big opaque colored rectangles present wherever you want to put a text box, and when I try to use a sheet, I found the way the screen immediately zoomed and snapped away to move the text box I’m typing in to the top left corner jarring and inconvenient. The functionality is also in my opinion FAR too limited. With the only 4 options being a single line text box, a multi line text box, a toggle-able button, and an image, it lacks any option to utilize more advanced tools to make it match up with non-custom character sheet apps like the ability to create a numerical box you could add or subtract from, tie values together so changes to one are reflected in another, or set defaults to instantly reset a characters health and the like. I’m torn, because while I love the idea and think with some improvements this app could be a game-changer, in its current state I can’t recommend it over a PDF editor to somebody looking to use their favorite custom character sheets or build their own on iOS, and I can’t recommend it over other character sheet apps to somebody looking for a functional digital character sheet.

I really like the idea of this app. And wish to use it so I can add other sheets into my Mobile other than 5e. But yet for some reason after spending my 7 dollars it doesn’t want to download and is all grayed out. I am annoyed. Idk if its the app or my internet so I say try it. It seems to be a good program. But note that this is a problem and might happen to you.

It’s the only custom character sheet creator in the App Store (there’s one other app, but it’s pretty terrible tbh) and has a massive amount of potential. The Prism interface is beautifully minimal as ever and the developer is about as active and helpful as you can get. Can’t wait to see where the dev takes this utility, and all the Prism apps.
