Has potential Galaxy S7: I haven't unlocked the paid version yet, but whenever I try to view a monster it won't show the full card (cut off around action I believe) with no option to zoom or move to see the rest of the info (zoom button didn't work). Could be a little more user friendly (ie. supporting portrait mode, and perhaps a tutorial option?) I have to do a lot of digging and experimenting.
How to use DM Minion Lite for 5th Edition for PC and MAC
You can run all Android games and applications on your PC or MAC computer. Using a free software called Bluestacks, you don't need to purchase anything but games or applications it self if it isn't free.
- Download Bluestacks from this link.
- Install BlueStacks from installation file with following the on-screen instructions.
- Once Bluestacks is installed add your Google account in it.
- Type DM Minion Lite for 5th Edition in Search bar and install it.
Well this sucks In order to download anything I have to have a DropBox account, which I don't have and don't bother to use because of Google and its storage medium. And then there is not being able to use a monster with a higher challenge rating of 3 and I can't make a custom Monster and I would have to buy the main app just so I can experience all of its features. Forgive me but my previous methods for tracking my campaigns we're a bit easier than this app was.
Good app... Needs some improvement Some minor tweaks are needed but overall really good app some of the text is hard to read especially on monsters it gets cut off and there's no way to increase the box sizes. There's a lot of experimentation but I kind of like that it's not too hard to figure out
Failed the test run... Fields on the cards cut off prematurely. Looks like it was made for a bigger screen. Simply does not work better than index cards at this point.
For using monsters under cr 3 it is really great. I am making full lost mine of phandelver campaign with it
Has potential but unfortunately it does not scale well on a Samsung Galaxy s6 (some text is hidden), you cannot view weapon or spell information directly from inside an encounter and it crashed when I tried to apply damage. The dice roll page also does nothing.
Great potential Stat blocks won't show on the entire screen or rather you cannot scroll through them, so if one is too big you can not see it in its entirety.
Lost 3 my campaigns due to dropbox after update, really?
Won't load any monsters, can't even see the list of them
Bug I can't add frost giant to my list
Good software Great tools I love the simplicity of it, very streamlined. Only downfall is that some of the spell effects require manual input. Like huntrers mark doesn't auto apply the additional 1d6 you need to do a separate roll for it. Hardly a deterrent though
Really great for a free app!! I wish it had a bit of a tutorial so I could learn a bit quicker what all the features are and how to use them. For instance, I can't figure how to get a custom picture to show for players or monsters. I copy and paste a URL in the space that reads " picture URL " and it still gives all players and monsters default pics. but other than that it is pretty handy!
Quality of life upgrades needed Hate that it forces use in landscape format. Hate typing with full keyboard and not being able to see what's written. Everything needed to make boss of traps and obstacles during encounters for each part of campaign.
So much better than paper! I'm relatively new to the D&D universe and a beginner DM. Once I figured out the icons and how to edit monsters, this app is brilliant. There is definitely a learning curve, but this is so much better than the paper method I was shown. I just wish there was a little more explanation on icons and what each section was meant to do. It would have made it a little easier to pick up. Thanks guys!
Once mastered its a handy little tool After reading and rereading the PDF available on the website...and losing two whole adventures to some weird dropbox glitch I am now decently adept in its use. And it is making life easier.
Good app, crippling bug Like the app so far, but the dice calculator blocks the back button, making it impossible to go back to any other menu. Now I'm stuck on that screen.
A bit too complex. Some useful features, however some things are not intuitive. A tutorial would help with this. Also if we could save custom abilities to import to other creatures....maybe this is in the pay version but I'll never know.
Great for a dm Great tool for tracking both players and npcs. Very useful tools to keep track of and run a campaign without flipping through a notebook constantly. Could use a tutorial but I figured it out myself fine.
Useful but Like the idea but I bought the full version and it keeps saying I still have to upgrade. So I can't run any of my encounters. Also a tutorial would be nice as well as a loot generator.
Incredibly Useful It's a bit confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's one of the best tools a DM can use.
Good once learned It is a very good app with a slight learning curve. Definitely takes some getting used to but an amazing tool for quick sessions.
AWESOME I rashly like this app. Even the free version is helpful, it kegs you take and keep notes on all the adventures you create
Handy and obedient little minion Only competition out there would be Hero Lab or Combat Manager the first is Windows only and the second Pathfinder only. Minion takes the price. I prefer the Windows version but occasionally use it on Android.
Seems okay but It would be nice if I could manually enter monsters initiative.
Hangs forever! Started to hang and become unresponsive when importing from Dropbox.
Need to Buy the real thing You need to buy it in order to do anything.
A very, very good app But could be a bit more user friendly. F.ex. it could automatically ask you to add weapons to your pc's when you add them. Other than that it is very, very good.
Good but There is a definate learning curve. Main addition I'd like to see is a tool to add custom races and classes. But very useful.
Didn't save players Good app, but I spent a bunch of time entering players only to have them not saved. Needs to be fixed.
Good so far Just downloaded, but I like it so far! It is going to make combat so much easier for me to keep track of combat!
good app some of the stuff i need to press is under my tool bar and off the screen, otherwise great.
Great app, a few minor bugs but nothing that really detracts from it overall.
Good I haven't had it very long, but it's a very convenient tool.
Very Useful Great for running a 5e adventure.
it's okay The app itself is okay, it's fairly simple, which is nice. Two complaints, the initiative tracker is a little complex, more complex than it needs to be. And I don't want to use this app in landscape form. I would wish that it would transfer over to the portrait.
Useful, but poor customization Includes a lot of features, but doesn't allow for multiclass or other customizations, and doesn't seem to import automatic calculations (such as damage resistances based on class).
Dungeon Masters are you sick and tired of fumbling around with excel, scratch paper, or some other cumbersome system to track all of those D&D 5th Edition attributes? Import and track your PC and monster initiatives, hit points, conditions, and actions using a single application. Roll dice for monster powers so you don't have to […]
