About Improved Initiative APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Improved Initiative is a simple and intuitive initiative manager for table-top RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons and Pathfinder.Combat Tracker
When combat is initiated, characters are ordered by initiative score. Once combat starts, characters will not be reordered by initiative until "New Encounter" is selected from the Character Manager Screen. Instead, the Dungeon Master is free to reorder characters by dragging and dropping. This allows for easier handling of held or readied actions, and for inserting new characters into combat once combat has been initiated.
On pressing "Next Turn" or "Previous Turn", the turn order will advance or step backwards appropriately, maintaining the current initative order. Combat state is saved whenever the user leaves this screen.
Characters can be added on the fly from the character management screen, and can be removed from combat by swiping left on the Combat screen (be careful here, swiping left on the Character Manager screen will delete your character).
The "plus" and "minus" buttons increment and decrement health, respectively.
Character Manager
The Character Manager allows the Dungeon Master to manage characters that may or may not be involved in combat. Pressing a character toggles whether the character is part of the current encounter. Characters may also be removed from combat from the Combat Screen by swiping left (again, not that swiping left on the Character Manager screen will delete your character).
The Character Editor screen can be opened by pressing "Create Character", to create a new character, or swiping right on an existing character to edit this character's attributes.
The die on the right side of the top menu can be used to roll initiative for all existing characters.
Combat can be started by pressing "Resume Combat", which returns to an existing encounter without changing the turn order (even if initiative scores have been modified or new characters have been added), or by pressing "New Encounter", which will order all active combatants by initiative score (you can resolve ties by dragging and dropping once you get to the combat screen).
Character Editor
The character editor either creates a new character or edits an existing one.
The fields should be fairly self explanatory. A "color" option was included to disambiguate generic enemies, because running encounters with large numbers of goblins can be frustrating. I suggest buying small coloured stickers for your miniature bases to match the colour options here.
You can roll initiative for the current character by pressing the "Roll Initiative" button (obviously).

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★So glad to find a simple tool that doesn't require filling in the AC and other stats. Just add names for each thing and drag them into the proper order. Very quick to setup
5 ★Best D&D Initiative App I've seen. Have been searching for specifically this functionallity, without the character sheet details & etc. on the way. There's just not as many apps like this on the appstore, with the main function of the app as the initiative and health, and nothing more, nothing less.
4 ★This app makes my life so much easier as a DM. The one thing it needs is the ability to modify HP by a large number. Higher level combat does lots of damage and its annoying to sit there and click the HP down button 25-50 times for a good damage roll/crit hit.
4 ★After a bit of play, it's super efficient and effective with keeping track. If I could suggest, rather than dragging each piece to its spot, add a box to the left of each tab to add numbers for easier organization
5 ★Add AC and WIS (passive perception)
5 ★much better than pen and paper
1 ★This app isn't any good because you can't add monsters in the initiative. If it had this feature it would be great and id rate 5 stars. if there was a clear way to add monsters to combat and then if when you taped on the monster you were given all the info about it then this would be one of the best initiative trackers out there. also a way to raise or lower the damage faster and a way to manually enter initiative. then it would be the best
4 ★An excellent bare bones initiative tracker. My only gripe is that I can't include the creatures condition status and AC like some of the other Initiative tracking apps. On the other hand, the way this app handles creature HP is fantastic for damage input on the fly. A good app if you only are worried about tracking initiative for sure.
2 ★The problem bere is that you cant program in a monster and then putmulitple of them into the initiatve order. You have to type in every singleone if you want to use the hp tracker
5 ★Does exactly as advertised. And pretty easy to use
4 ★Great app. One request is to add '-' for bonus modifier
5 ★Works flawlessly on Nexus . Cool idea.
