The desktop interface for players is a bit clunky, in my opinion; I have the app on my iPad as well, and that interface is much more user-friendly. But the capabilities are pretty much the same on both platforms. Unfortunately, I believe the iPad version is just for players, and does not include the GM tools.
The last time I used the GM Tools was quite some time ago, when running a game for my kids. From a quick look at what's available right now, they've come a long way and added quite a few features since that time.
As for whether there are things you need to be aware of, my only warning would be regarding the content. You do get one free game system when you purchase a Hero Lab license, but for Pathfinder, many of the add-ons cost extra. If there's an ability you want to load in Roll20 from a source you don't own, it's possible to program it yourself, but programming your own special abilities, etc., can take a lot of time and effort to get it to work right, if you want it to do more than just display text (i.e., you want to be able to turn it on/off like other abilities). Or you could purchase the source material from Lone Wolf, which can add up to a pretty penny depending on how many you need to purchase.
Other than that, I love Hero Lab, and highly recommend it!Statistics: Posted by Tahlvin — Mon May 29, 2017 5:22 am
