User reviews
Pathbuilder 1e is widely praised for its thorough character creation and management features for Pathfinder players, with a clean UI and PDF export ability. Users appreciate the breadth of content and customization options available offline with minimal ads. Common critiques include missing certain official content, lack of support for optional rule sets like gestalt or mythic, and limited inventory handling features. Users also desire better bug reporting, search functions, and cross-platform availability. Despite some missing content and features, the app is highly valued for filling a niche with extensive functionality and ease of use.
Pros
- Comprehensive and detailed character building features covering most standard Pathfinder content including races, classes, archetypes, and spells.
- User-friendly interface that is simple to navigate and makes character creation and management easy.
- Ability to export character sheets to PDF, providing a coherent and usable format for gameplay.
- The app largely functions offline and includes unobtrusive ads with an option to remove them via in-app purchase.
- Supports custom content addition allowing users to add missing feats, spells, and other game options manually.
Cons
- Missing some official content such as certain feats, spells, weapon/armor enchantments, and companion archetypes, requiring users to workaround or add notes.
- Lack of support for specialized or optional rules like gestalt multiclassing and mythic rules, limiting usability for some groups.
- Limited inventory management features, especially difficulty tracking miscellaneous items like gems and jewelry or maintaining equipment across levels.
- No easy way to report bugs or errors directly through the app, and reportedly inconsistent developer support or communication.
- App features like backups, importing additional books or data, and search functionality for feats and equipment could be improved or are lacking.

Simple to use but very useful app. You can put together a character across what appears to be most of the standard books and it tracks by level. Allows export to pdf as a coherent character sheet. Ads are unobtrusive, the in app purchase is to remove them. My only complaint is that you can't include your spells without printing the spell details. Highly recommended for character management.

I've been uesing this app for years, It works very well, never struggle to find something that I want, thats on AoN. A few bugs around not letting some archetypes that should work together do so, buts thats far & few. Supports VMC, a rarity in more strict character sheet apps like this one. The only ads are bottom banner ads, they aren't intrusive at all, & I tend to forget its there. The app also doesn't demand wifi access, so I can ues it to kill time while Im waiting for x or y.
