Aubrey Frio (ID: 0000000dd3a34415) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/22/2023 I did my first ever session as a DM with people who haven't played D&D before. It was incredibly simple to get started and the ability to do encounters was absolutely brilliant!

Desiree (ID: 000000aae448e25d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/15/2023 This was so simple and quick to use. Lot of free maps and the fact that it works so well with d&dbeyond, it so wonderful. I can create and encounter in dnd beyond and it imports all the monsters to the screen. So amazing!

William (ID: 000000cc842480df) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/16/2023 I hosted my first remote session with AboveVTT on Friday after moving 10 hours away from my group in June. We are mid-campaign so I was nervous about the remote move. I was also sad because I really enjoyed hand-drawing maps and having painted figures. All my fears are now gone. AboveVTT exceeded all expectations and my players enjoyed the session greatly. I had no bugs as described in previous reviews and the integration with D&D Beyond was flawless. 10/10 would recommend.
