Some of the starting options that we offer include Encounter tables, Conditions, Item Prices, and so many more of the minor rules that everyone tends to forget while playing. The PrismScrollDM Screen will smooth out your games and eliminate the struggle of trying to find that random page with that small rule that decides the crazy outcome of if your adventurers will ascend to godhood. Features 1. Customizable DM resource screen with over 75 different resources, including things like roll tables/reference tables/npc generators/and much more! 2. Scientific style roll calculator for all of your quick calculation needs 3. Campaign creator that allows you to manage your different games and tailor your tools to your specific game needs 4.

## Patch Notes ### New features - Custom races, subraces, and magic items can now have their own pictures, the same way custom monsters already could. - The compendium's **+** button now opens a menu of everything you can create, including a **DM Screen** submenu for the DM-only tile types. ### Bug fixes - Fixed a crash when applying a condition to a participant in the initiative tracker. (The condition was actually being saved — it would show up correctly after relaunching — but the app crashed at the moment you tapped it.) - Toggling a participant's conditions no longer replaces the underlying condition record each time, so conditions stay reliably attached to the right participant. ### Improvements - Item weights are formatted through the same converter the player app uses, so weights read consistently across both apps. (DM display stays imperial — there is no units setting in this app yet.) - Opening the PDF parser from the compendium now points you to PrismScroll, where the parser actually lives, instead of leading nowhere.
1. Update divine word spell school 2. Update issues with importing subclasses, starting equipment, ability score increase, and features on classes 3. Added a breakdown for armor class in the character sheet 4. Issues with exporting/importing tags

I really like this app and it is very helpful as a healer to keep track of health of my party. But when I add a condition to the party member, the app crashes. I add condition- crash. Remove- crash. Pretty annoying. I just now don’t add those to the app and will just write it down. Would be higher rating if it wasn’t for the crashing.
- MerColCor · v5.6.0
This is such an amazing utility. It certainly doesn’t replace my books but it’s pretty darn close. The navigation takes a little getting used to but it is fairly intuitive once you go through a few screens. There’s a balance between automatically populating data and keeping it free form enough to allow for tweaking things to fit my needs. I’ve run various games over 35 years and have used a lot of different tools (screens, apps, etc.). Prism may be the one to rule them all. For my next campaign I plan to make this the only thing I use outside of the books.
- Haze Kalasa · v3.20.0
To be honest, google searching things feels just as efficient as most of this apps functions, but I love the character map. Please allow me to change the size of each character bubble and I will give you 5 stars!!! :)
- steezyspence · v3.10.0
I was looking for a really good app because I had just started learning how to DM. This app made it really easy and plain as day to making an epic campaign! I HIGHLY recommend for any DMs that want to keep track of information easier.
- XxRiot_IncxX · v3.6.0
Completely makes being a home-brew DM easy!
- baerbaer123 · v3.0.0
I love this app and am currently using it on my iPad to run my campaign. I wish there was the ability for cloud sync or to copy a campaign to another device though. I’d love to use it on my phone for quick reference without have to completely rebuild the campaign a second time
- The Space Panda · v2.9.5
I almost gave this 4 instead of 5 stars because I wish it were a bit easy to figure out some things. I’m having through figuring out if I can edit the screens cards and campaign cards, but I decided to go with 5 stars anyway because I have yet to check out the discord and I read in other reviews that that can be super helpful! I’m hoping that if I’m unable to edit the pre-organized DM screen that in a future patch I might be able to because, while things like different race names, actions in combat, and conditions are grouped together, the different class tables are not and there are some other things that I would prefer to rearrange. Just some things that are my personal preferences but this app is by far the most extensive and useful DM tool I’ve been able to find. I highly suggest getting it on Mac if you can just because it’s easier to navigate all the information than on a phone/iPad. Hope to see more content from the developers because it’s an awesome app!
- Sammi:-) · v2.9.1
Great system definitely recommend
- jdub7703 · v2.7.11
I love what the team is doing, the PrismScroll app is AMAZING! This app is very good as mentioned in the other reviews, but I have a few things I would like to request: 1. A better way to add maps to a campaign. It isn’t very intuitive to use and it may even be nice to have the option of creating your own maps from within the app. 2. The encounter is a bit weird and whenever I start an encounter I can never figure out how to have it roll initiative for me for the monsters(the characters I get why, I don’t roll for them), but it would be nice to have the option to have it roll initiative for the monsters. 3. Where is Dragon of Icespire Peak? That is the current game I am running and the option isn’t there, I would request that it be added. Anyway, this is a great app with lots of potential, I could see myself giving this app a 5-star review down the road once it has been fully flushed out. Keep up the good work developers!
- Revel0 · v2.7.8
Keeps things organized and running smoothly. Information is easily accessed and input into your campaign. An essential tool for anyone that enjoys digital aids.
- silasshortail · v2.7.7
I’ve been on the look out for a decent DM tool to use during my games. I have found a few apps that are ok at a few things. But none of which have had a solid foundation for the future. The PrismScrollDM app has that solid foundation to build upon. The UI is clean and useful. The performance is outstanding, and further more the developer/developers are responsive and always willing to answer your questions. If I could wish for anything, it would be that PrismScrollDM would take some ideas of out the app Encounter+ I feel like the Prism team could make a much better, more refined version of that app. They certainly have the fan base.
- Joshua Erney · v2.7.0
Much like all of the PrismScroll products, it is still in the works. But even so, this is an astonishing starting point and already has the makings of a complete app. They are continually making updates on the apps and I have loved being here every step of the way! Cannot wait to see where this goes. 100% recommend this app.
- Nombacca · v2.4.0
Great just need a way to drag and drop in fight to more easily control initiative.
- Beulah N · v2.4.0
I think this app is great! I use it both as a player to keep track of what has been happening in our sessions and now as a new DM to organize my thoughts clearly. The one thing I have noticed would make a world of difference for me is that the notes feature for sessions is nice but could be refined a bit. If there were a feature in the app similar to the journal in the character sheet app (that could show locations, events, etc) in the dm app maybe accessible in the hotbar at the bottom or in the session menu, I could keep track of everything a lot better. Thanks for the amazing app!
- AnonReview29 · v2.2.2
Great tool, only thing missing is a way to create custom items/spells so on.
- rafu rafu · v2.1.5
Love the design of the app and the simplicity of searching! Having one issue trying to import XML. I choose the file, but nothing happens, am I missing something?
- Juice the mooch · v2.0.1
This is clearly a very useful tool for a DM, and I definitely see myself using it in the future to better organize my sessions. Keep up the wonderful work! I only had two concerns from my experience with the app so far. My first concern is that I can’t seem to resize the icons on my DM screen - I hid most of the panels and now only about half of my screen is taken up, and the text on the panels is broken up and incomplete. It would be handy if I could make them larger so I can fully read the panels before tapping on them. My second concern is that my characters’ info isn’t always updating when I hit “save”. The icon in particular seems to change to one that I didn’t select. I also had a few crashes when attempting to edit a character that didn’t have an icon (for some reason, even though I selected the arrow & feather icon, it switched to the generic person icon after creation). Other than the few hiccups, I thoroughly appreciate this app and how it simplifies the work necessary for being a DM.
- Duderox129 · v2.0.0
Me and my friends are in the early planning stages of making a DnD Podcast, and finding this has solved a lot of organizing and planning issues we’ve experienced! We use this and the character sheet app and without a doubt these are the most complete apps of their kind on the App Store. The only thing I can see that would make this one better is if the compendium had the option to be organized by challenge rating and monster type rather than just the default alphabetical order. I cant wait to see what they do with this and highly recommend it to any DnD enthusiast, DM or otherwise.
- OzzyAM Designs · v2.0.0
Could use some import features for monsters but it works great
- Kikiasharri · v1.10.5
Hi. I have downloaded this program onto two different devices. For the most part it works fine, but on my iPad you can’t scroll down on the ability cards. All the other cards work just fine though. On my iPhone, I was also having trouble with the ability cards. This time is wasn’t that I couldn’t scroll down, it was that when I try to search for specific items, just just blocks out the search bar all together. It makes it so I can’t search. Those where my only problems with the app besides it not having all the creatures, but then again, who will? Over all, it’s a great app and is definitely worth getting if you are a dm.
- Jennypolinsky · v1.10.2
Bought this as part of the Prism Bundle and let me say, this makes a world of difference. Instead of having to flip through countless books trying to find something specific, like a spell or racial feat from something less common, most of that is here and accessible within a few seconds. PSA: if you buy this, download discord and hop into their channel. You can speak directly to the developers and they’re very responsive. ALSO PSA: this app, while fantastic and easily the best out there in my opinion that I’ve seen, is still in its youth. Be patient with the developers and let them update their content. All in all, I’m beyond happy with the Prism apps and look forward to using them to adventure away into the sunset for many years to come.
- dndnsjsnsndj · v1.10.1
This app is a great start. I downloaded this when it first came out and it had a nice area filled with the rules a DM will need on the fly. I will need to reinstall it and check out the new features to give a better review but the custom monster creation really peaked my interest
- BeefyT117 · v1.10.0
PrismDM has a lot of potential that could rival my preferred DMing app by Lion’s Den. For instance, the character web feature helps track connections between NPCs and the Party. It even contains a lot more resources to inspire DMs compared to them. The Issues: • The characters designated as the Party don’t stick between sessions. • As a DM who plays in a setting that has a Georgian Era (1714-1830) aesthetic, having musketry is a must. There isn’t an option/ability to add custom equipment. • On that same note, a lot of the NPCs I use are homebrewed, so it’s really an issue in encounters in not having that material at the ready. Additions and Suggestions: • Having a screen that displays the player characters and NPCs. A way to sort them (like allies and enemies) would be an even greater luxury to have. • Being able to change the campaign menu colors and icon. • Having conditions in initiative would help to discern who’s helped or hindered by affects. • In a nutshell, I encourage the creator to improve or provide where Lion’s Den can’t, like the character web setup. In Conclusion: • For now, I’ll rely on Lion’s Den for my DMing needs and turn to PrismDM for character/party relation notes. I’m hoping to reconsider this as updates come in
- TheBauta · v1.9.0
PrismDM really helps when I’m planning it simply recording my campaigns for murdering my players, but when I’m typing notes, I can’t properly scroll down even in prism scroll character sheets. The character web is pretty nice to use so I know who’s doing what and intrigue they’re going to commit. Creatures are a little lackluster, so maybe the import from prism scroll would help out there. Other than that, great job guys and can’t wait for the future!
- Rucks01 · v1.9.0
Awesome so far. Still in the beginning stages but you’re getting there! I appreciate this immensely as a first time DM. I am huge fans of prism and I joke y’all should pay me for advertisement. My friends are sick of my praise for prism lol. Feels a bit empty. Can’t add pic cover for my campaign. I would like PC and enemy NPC sheets. Encounter DC calculators. Ethnic name generators (German, Japanese, Aztec). A battle map mode would be awesome (or maybe even another app. Let me know and I will buy). So far good job. I look forward to see what y’all crank out.
- Thekaiguy · v1.7.1
This is a paid version i expect it to have everything. Ill fix the review when all of the monsters and items are included and features. Edit: Fair enough 3 stars. 5 stars if completed
- Akasi_Rairo · v1.7.1
Can't get through campaign creator on iPad Pro 2018, stuck on Custom > Select Color It's probably a good app but i can't even add a campaign
- -____-""-__________- · v1.7.1
It’s a bit buggy and there are occasional errs in the rules that have been transcribed but it’s still very useful overall and it’s very easy to find information. I think that with a little tweaking and adding the ability to create your own tools, it would be an incredible asset.
- Plato42 · v1.7.1
The design is really nice and the app is really user friendly. All I can I say is give us new content soon!
- Chase.k · v1.7.1
This will be perfect for DMing. My only gripe at the moment is that when you are selecting the campaign type it says that you can pick custom but there is no custom button.
- AnimeAvengers · v1.7.0
I’m very impressed with the clean design, but I can’t give more than 2 stars until the app is complete and has the session creation options. I’ll gladly change to 5 stars when I see that update!
- TheDreamTwist · v1.7.0
Amazing App! I would love to see a spell lists, an encounter creator and a monster manual bit.
- DmManStan · v1.6.1
This is an update from my last review. The app has newly updated and fixed everything I was concerned about and is looking like it’s going to be adding a bunch of helpful and fun stuff! I’ll give 5 stars when I see the finished result!
- Jayk Stetts · v1.6.0
This is super useful. Id really like if the user could be able to change the size of the tiles so that the whole text fits in the box.
