2024-09-24	Wyatt Richmond	The app is really great for building and storing your own characters but lacks as much functionality for GM Session Management. There's no way to continually monitor your players' edgerunners as they evolve without requesting a new share link, and the Ziggurat assistant recently disappeared. (Why?) It would also be nice to have a more expanded menu to see all available content, re-review it, and go to any reports that way. Minus these two issues, though it is great for your own characters.
2024-09-24	Alex B.	If you're looking to GM Red, this app is a must have. If you're just a player, it's a very convenient tool as well. I can't say enough good about it. I do wish it updated more frequently, especially when R. Talsorian releases new content. But that aside, it's perfect, super easy to use, and the premium add ons are worth it, especially for the price and especially if you're a GM.
2024-06-24	Gemini_Storm8	Loving the app! I do wish it could have rules references as the actual printed book layout is a little awkward, but as a skill/status/equipment tracker it does the job amazingly well. Though, I have noticed a bug for netrunners where a basic cyberdeck that can install 7 programs, that has JUST been purchased with no programs applied, will say 6/7 slots available. I am also curious as to whether or not it will offer CEMK support with the recent new release.
2023-09-27	Ari Flores	Saving issue was fixed! Would it be possible to add a simpler way to log into the account instead of just "redeeming purchases". I multiple emails linked to my devices for reasons, because of this anytime I get a new phone I have to jump through hoops of deleting, re-downloading and switching Google accounts back and forth in play till the RED app is linked to the right account. Then I'm able to get my stuff back, sometimes it doesn't work at all 🙃. I appreciate your time ♡
2023-08-14	Dallas Montross	Extremely useful app as a GM and even as a player. However, I'd like to see 2 QoL improvements. I would love a more organized screen for installed cyberware instead of just a list. Some kind of diagram with option slots like the core character sheets have or something similar would be amazing! Also, it's a slight nitpick, but I wish I could organize my PC and NPC lists however I wanted instead of it always being alphabetical. Other than those 2 pretty small complaints, this app is super handy!
2023-08-09	Rowan	I adore this app, as a GM I recommend it to all my players. They love it! On the GM side of things, it is so useful from everything to creating enemies, NET Architectures, generating weather, the recent update adding everything up to Black Chrome was a huge help! I do wish there was a way to make custom items show up where they need to (example: homebrew weapons or cyberware that shows up on the right page and update stats accordingly. No real complaints, no adds, I love it!
2023-07-12	Connor Campbell	The app overall is quite good, as a player this is by far the easiest and cleanest character creator I've seen for any ttrpg. On the GM side of things is where this falls short for me, most of the options are fantastic but the combat tracker is a disorienting mess, it doesn't actually indicate who's turn it is, what round it is, and having to tap through three separate menus just to add damage to a single enemy is a chore. Having each enemy be named just clutters up the UI "mook #1" is fine
2023-04-26	Marcus Rouls	Very easy to use. Great for creating characters as a Player or GM. The only thing is I wish I could have this app on my PC. Cause I have PDF copies of CP Red on my laptop, along with my campaign setting. Creating a character, saving it on my phone, then emailing it to myself is small issue. But would be nice to do it all in one place.
2023-01-31	Xander Nesbitt	Definitely not perfect, but it makes an often opaque ruleset far more manageable. If you plan on GMing, I highly recommend buying the full version as the enemy tracking alone is worth the price. Still has bugs and unincluded features I'd love to see in the future, but on the whole its a very impressive toolset for an unofficial project.
2023-01-23	Wesley Cook (Caerdivon)	Fantastic tool for players and GM alike. Feedback button in the app doesn't seem to work, so I'll post my primary gripe here: I really really wish the app could keep track of a character's original starting empathy/humanity. Its difficult to keep track of that as empathy ebbs and flows and the potential need to know what the current max humanity a character can have given enough therapy. At present, it just completely overwrites your emp with the new value, so you don't know ehat it was before.
