Some friends wanted to start a campaign and I'm trying to digitize my character sheet. Initially I was going to use d&dbeyond so I could send my DM the character sheet digitally and make it easier for them, but I can't pick Drow without paying for the character, for whatever silly reason. I've been checking out all the apps I can find on the play store and I can't find any with Drow.
Are their any apps that give you all the character options? I'm using Android but I don't mind switching over to my laptop (Windows/Linux). I had originally wanted an offline app but opted for online to help the DM, but since that won't be possible anymore I could care less. Still, online apps are fine as I can just block their access to the internet or suffer the occasional ad if I really must.
There's an android app called 5e character sheet that has all the published options. It has an icon like a green d20.
Edit: it's called "fifth edition character sheet"
So for me it's got a red dragon icon, but I believe we have the same app. I wanted to use this one initially, but it was missing Drow, then I looked in the settings and found I could download a bunch of d&d info and Drow is an option! I think this might be what I use for Android!
If you had to download anything it's not the same app. The one I'm referring to is actually called "Fifth Edition Character Sheet"
Here is a link:

Man so many apps that are showing up as not supported for my phone, this is the third one now, I wonder what it is, besides my phone just being considered "old" by the corporate overlords haha
Mine says not compatible because the app was made for an older version of android.
Ya it seems to be an API rule Google implemented to try and force app devs to update their apps. The solution is to download the latest .APK online.
+1 for this. Keeps all of my characters nice and tidy. Whenever you level up, you pick your new abilities from a list of options, and then it'll autofill that into your character sheet. It won't autofill your spells, though, so I use a different app for that. The only downside is that some of the abilities for certain classes aren't named correctly, I assume due to copyright issues. But the names are pretty clear what they're referencing (example: Agonizing Blast = Potent Cantrip).
For spells I would just use 5e tools
