1. D&D Beyond: The Ultimate Sidekick

This app is the real deal.

2. Fifth Edition Character Sheet: Craft your Character

Like most of the apps on this list, the Fifth Edition Character Sheet is all about convenience. It helps users speed up the character creation process, while also allowing you to easily keep track of their stats. Once again, this is another great, useful tool for newer players who might not have all the races and classes dialed into their memory just yet. Although, if you use this app enough, you probably will in no time. 

This app lets you manage your inventory/weapons, track hit points, and customize your personality and character description. It even includes a spell book that provides attack bonuses and more. And thanks to the handy transfer feature, you won’t have to worry about losing what you’ve created if/when you switch phones. For us, character creation doesn’t get any easier or more enjoyable than this!

The Fifth Edition Character Sheet app is available for both Apple and Android users.

3. 5e Bestiary: Meet your Match

Fumbling through pages of manuals for monster info? Ain't nobody got time for that! That's where 5e Bestiary swoops in to save the day. It's like your personal library of creatures and critters, complete with lore. Just type in what you're after, and voila! No more monster mishaps mid-game. DMs, this one's your new campaign-planning BFF.

All you have to do is use the smart search bar, and you will be able to find the creature(s) that you’re looking for quickly and easily. Once you have found what you’re searching for, you can mark it with the built-in bookmark feature. DMs may also find 5e Bestiary helpful for planning and leading new campaigns.

5e Bestiary can only be downloaded from the Google Play Store.

4. Game Master 5th Edition: Dungeon Master Delight

DMs, listen up! The Game Master app is like your enchanted toolkit for running the show. With a combat tracker, encounter builder, and even a dice roller, it's like having your own magical DM screen. Plus, you can toss in custom images and landscapes for that extra dose of immersion. Hosting a smooth-sailing campaign has never been this easy – trust us, we've been DMs too!

Most users praise the app for its encounter and initiative tracker as well. All in all, everything you need to host a fun, hassle-free campaign can be found in the Game Master app. You should check it out!

Game Master 5th Edition can be found in the Google Play and App Store.

5. D&D Spellbook 5e: Cast It Like You Mean It!

Considered one of the best spellbook apps in the game, D&D Spellbook 5e is a simple and very helpful tool for anyone looking to search, manage, and organize spells for multiple characters. Between the user-friendly interface and the many filters that can be used to narrow down your spell search, it’s no wonder why this app has become a favorite in the community. 

Once you’ve created your character, you can immediately begin searching through the library of spells listed throughout the app, which come from the following sourcebooks: Player's Handbook, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, and Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. You can tap each spell to read through all the details and info about it.

Spells can be easily sorted and filtered as well, using the many options that are available, such as Level Components, Sourcebook, School Casting, Time Duration Range, and Concentration Ritual. With all of that said, this is a really solid app that many of your fellow spellcasters find very useful. Just try it once, if you haven’t already, and see how it compares to the other Spellbook apps that you’ve used. 

D&D Spellbook 5e can be downloaded from Google Play and the App Store
