Hero Lab on Android, Kickstarter...

Just a thought; how about launching a Kickstarter to develop Hero Lab on Android? You'll see what kind of genuine interest there is, generate revenue to fund the development (internally or hiring a freelance developer), and get it to the market sooner. I would definitely contribute...
 
Now that the IPad version of herolabs has had two years to mature, is there any chance that we can get an Android version?

Holistically speaking I have no issue with HL on Android. But HL for all its greatness, is in need of some modernization TLC.

Specifically the Tactical Console is really due for an overhaul, and porting HL to yet another platform to me, just spreads a very small team even thinner.

Not to mention integration with Realm Works would be faint worthy.

I'm assuming you mean beyond the current integration. Can you clarify what you had in mind?

Dynamic features:

Able to edit the por you have in RW and save it back in this new updated state.

Have players able to save and open their por file in the player version and save it as a new state end of game day, and have it sync when they do. Another wards, the por is kept in sync through the cloud service between GM and Player.

these are the two biggest things I would want.

Then Christmas came early for you this year, since you can already do that! :)

Just select the "Edit" option for the portfolio from within the topic.

The other request will entail significantly more work, but it's definitely on the todo list. You may also want to log your desires on the Realm Works Requested Features forum so that we can be keep track of it there. :)

MY god Rob you need to stop doing that, me poor head can't take hitting the ground like this. As much as I want faint worthy features, they HURT!

Thank you, thank you. I will see if the new release fixed my sync and moving topics problem when I get home this evening.

I am pretty sure its in the forums, if not I wrote in the survey :) But if its not in forums as request I will add it.
 
I'm still waiting for an Android version, also. After this long, however, I should probably start looking into alternative products if I want to participate in convention gaming.
 
Yeah, it's pretty disappointing that HL still isn't even in development for Android. Especially considering that Android took over the majority market share over a year ago. That's a lot of potential licenses, or even kickstarter supporters as I know I'd put in more than I expected to get back in value, that are being missed.

When we have to somewhere else for an android character manager, it makes consumers more open to switching to another product for PC as well.
 
At the moment I think this is your best option for character management for Android. That may change with the release of the SRD. There are some nice Android tools, and I expect them to get better. I know it's not Hero Lab, but it's better than waiting a few years for a product which may or may not happen.

One of the reasons I waited so long to purchase HL for my laptop was the fact that there was no Android Support. I knew about HL for years before purchasing, there just didn't seem to be a need for it for me as I'm an old school gamer and like my pencil and paper forms. The only reason I purchased it was that I wanted to try it out and have a voice that would be given more consideration as a product owner when this topic came up again. I'm sure there are many more that would buy Hero Lab for both Desktop and Android that have not voiced it. So LWD is not just missing out on Android platform sales, but Desktop sales as well.

I read that reply that was posted earlier, considering that was 3 years ago, 2 months of getting someone up to speed would have been worth the investment and actually would still be worth it. The time invested will pay off in future returns.
 
I was just about to jump on the new Pathfinder bundle but saw only iPad was listed in the regular email for tablets.
I just assumed it would be, so checked here.
I guess I'm glad for all the $100s I have save to get content and tinker, but not necessarily use all the time. I hope regular tablet support comes.

Isn't it much easier nowadays to program multi-platform?

Yes...

Provided you are starting fresh and don't need to access or alter old code. HL's original code forces LWD to not use some of the most resent advances in coding and that means cross platform is a LOT more work. The very core, the foundations, of RW are based on proprietary code from Microsoft leaving that program hamstrung for the foreseeable future as well.
