It's good. For anyone who makes their way to the website and finds the right page. Many players, especially first timers, do not.

GenCon has been very good about highlighting TD in their emails. If they included a link to the resource page at some point that would be helpful. Not just for the character builders, but for all the other information.
D&D teaches all the important lessons in life - the low blow, the cheap shot, the back stab, the double cross. - Jerry Marsischky

Let them trap us. We have our swords. - Elric of Melnibone.

You try to get them to play the game, but all they want to do is play the rules. - Ardak Kumerian

I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend - Faramir

First timers don't need the app. In fact, I would steer first time players very far away from the app, because it would likely just confuse and overwhelm them.

The people that need the app are people that purchase many tokens. This tends to happen in a few places, 1) here on the forums, 2) Ebay, 3) Token store fronts.

So maybe want we need to do is ask people who list several tokens for sale on ebay and who run store-fronts to feature a link to the App and Spreadsheet.

That actually sounds like an amazing idea. My TD buddy just showed me her app and I was slightly confused, but quickly got the hang of it only because of the last two year runs. If it weren't for that I would have been really really confused and had no idea what to do. The sheets are much easier to learn for beginners. Heck I prefer the sheets

Not everyone with lots of tokens are on the forums. Most, probably, but I have run into some while coaching who were not.
