That's right, Monday, April 8, is the eagerly-anticipated release of Hero Lab for the iPad. The app has been approved by Apple, and should be released on the App Store on Monday!

This is our first iPad app, so we're not sure exactly *when* it'll go live - we'll post an update here and on our Facebook page with a link to the app when it's available.

This first version of Hero Lab for the iPad will be an in-play character sheet, available for free! You'll be able to create your character on your desktop/laptop, and then move it to the iPad for use during the game. You can find more information in our November newsletter.
 
So, the initial 'player' download is free.

And once you get it to edit, then its the simple cost of a license (free if its your second one for an existing, and $10 for each one after that - your laptop/ipad/etc)

Thanx
 
And it's out and can be downloaded from the App Store. So far really nice. I was able to setup and install my groups house rules data set and easily downloaded a character. :D

So far runs fast and smooth on a iPad 2.
 
Shame it requires iOS 6. My iPad is still running iOS 5 - original iPad.

If I need to get a new tablet it won't be an iPad but an Android :/
 
Good on the French store !

But i have already 2 requests ...
1- How to manage sneak attack damage (i am a rogue/knife master) ?
In a futur release it will be great to have in the weapon roll list an item "Sneak Damage" ...
2- Import from email is a good idear !!!! but i did'nt find how to export portfolio by email from the application ( and not only stat )

thanks to lone wolf for the job !
 
Got it!!

Looking good, pulled in character from dropbox. just had to deal with iPad's silly excuse of a file system. I will test in game tonight...

No place to enter license that I could find...
 
.user files

It seems .user files are so far not supported which would make this app virtually useless to me if confirmed to be true.

Same boat! I must have missed somewhere along they way the older iPads wouldn't be supported. I guess mine is starting to show its age. A shame though as it works for so much else.
 
Its in the store, An easy way to get your portfolios over to the ipad, set up dropbox and load all your ports into the dropbox folder, then go into dropbox on your ipad select the file (it will say unable to open) in the upper right screen you will see a button, hit that and select open in Herolab.
 
Okay, anyone got any ideas on how to download custom stuff? I've spent, like, forever, setting up customised weapons, abilities, equipment, not to mention umpteen million added data files for APs, etc.

Is there any way to import them and use them? Or are we currently just looking at plain vanilla characters?
 
I too need to know what it supports.

I havent downloaded, because it requires me to upgrade my IOS (it requires 6.1, and im still on 5.1, i only upgrade iOS when neccesarry). It wont be useful to me without custom stuff, so if im going to consider upgrading my ios for this app, I need to know that it supports .user files, and there is a way to get them up there, as well as use the community created files as well, as well as the multitude of packages purchased.

If its just vanilla, then i wont be upgrading and will wait until it supports more.

Thanks in advance.

Well, even some newer ipads - not everyone upgrades constantly. My ipad is an ipad2 (hardly "new", but not exactly old either), and it could certainly support 6.1, but ive chosen not to upgrade. sometimes apples upgrades make things worse, and when i find myself in a situation im happy with, i only upgrade when neccesarry. i am curious, what features of 6.1 were required for this? or is this an apple thing that they force new developers to use the latest IOS? (that wouldnt surprise me)
