DnD 4e Compendium - 0.3.1

A webOS app for the Palm Pre and Pixi to search the official Wizards.com D&D 4th Edition Compendium.


Even the most enthusiastic D&D player can't carry all their sourcebooks with them at all times, but you never know which books you'll need for any given game. The DnD 4e Compendium uses the official Wizards.com API to provide you with access to all the information you'll need to settle rule disagreements, check the stats on your new weapon, or just satisfy your curiosity about any race or class you meet.

Note: Some pages will require an active D&D Insider subscription to view.

Features
  • Provides links to the offical Compendium pages for full details on every class, race, monster, item and more from every official sourcebook.
  • Uses the official Compendium API to search the database
  • Restrict searches to a specific type
  • Search titles only
  • Initial release version 0.3.1

Planned additions
  • Search with filters
  • Type-specific data
  • Indicator for entries requiring DDI subscription
  • Saved searches (if requested)

Known Issues
  • The first search request after opening the app sometimes doesn't complete properly, or times out. To get around this, go back to the Search page and re-submit the search - it will complete correctly the second time, and all subsequent searches will work fine.
  • Searches with a large number of results (e.g., searching for "Damage") will cause the app, and eventually the entire device, to freeze. These should be avoided - be as specific as possible when searching.


If you have any suggestions or feeback regarding the app, please leave a comment here. DnD 4e Compendium is currently in Beta Release, and any user comments will be greatly appreciated.
