Nice App

Nice app for dice rolling... if you buy full version, which I did. Nice ability to setup various rolls and profiles for repeated rolls that are done often. It would be a nice addition to be able to add a summation to multiple dice rolls within a folder (choose which with a check box or something?); for example, this would allow more easily a damage roll of multiple damage types summed up, but allow easier calculation for modification due to resistances, immunities, or vulnerability. It would also be nice to be able to select which “modifiers” apply to which rolls in a folder rather than applying it to all rolls; maybe by allowing the modifier name to be used in the formula?
Very useful for role playing

Very easy to set up an entire character with just about every roll needed (attack, damage, skill check, attribute roll, saving throws, etc.). A must have for any roll player. Well done!
Really cool, but...

I love this not only because I can use dice quickly but also because it has a lot of personal features on it. Keep up the good work!! However, I do wish for a few things to be done. For one, a note-taking feature. This is useful for things in character sheets that don’t use dice or for... notes. It would have a title and description, but instead of the description being cutoff if it’s too long, the text box increases or lowers to accomandate for more letters. It would work just like adding a folder, statistic, etc. It would be called “text box”. It also could have a unique property that ties in with the second suggestion: Drag and drop movement. If you press down hard or hold down on an existing folder, statistic, etc., you can quickly pick it up and drag it to organize your sections. You could also make it so it drags and drops only when the pencil is activated, or something else to make it intuitive and easy for people to realize it’s a feature. This is good for quickly organizing things, but it’s also good for the text box feature. You can move a text box so it’s in any section. Have three text boxes in statistics or something, or put them in with dice rolls so you can put spells that roll dice and don’t roll dice together.
Great app but very odd paywall.

I’m honestly not experiencing many problems with the RNG as most users here are. However, the paywall for more aesthetic choices plus improvement-of-life changes drastically puts the rating down to 2. Suddenly after the last update, we’ve been getting google ads. Which perplexes me. Ik getting as much income from this app is the developer’s main goal however you need to understand that the competition for dice rolling apps is pretty steep. Many other apps legit do not have ads nor a paywall for exclusive features. And still they provide the same amount of utility, even moreso than this app. I am planning on uninstalling this app and suggesting the other better DnD dice rolling and character sheet apps to fellow DMs on the forums/discord. Sorry, but this app is just not for me.
What?

Don’t care what dice roller you use. You use one you’ve used em all. This one? This one is special to me. I spent all game night adding my rolls to the preset list. Attack, crit, damage, etc. etc. then it froze. Then it reloaded. All my work was gone and wasted. Use a better app. Ain’t no body got time for that. Especially in game. Worst betrayal yet.
It’s an awesome app, but almost 5 stars

Everything it is is perfect, from the theme to the user abilities, as it should be. What it should include is the ability to add notes. Adding a note that can be viewed by tapping its title, wherever you place it, would be amazing. That way, you could track proficiency without having to add a bunch of mods, you could just have a list and add ability mods and proficiency bonus.
Nice! It helps when D&D comes around

I like this because when you can’t find real dice you just use this, plus it’s SUPER easy to roll and only rolls random numbers so it’s easy to roll between twenty and one so it’s rare to roll one and twenty, I like it alot thx for the app! I find it handy,I can’t wait till there’s an update where it rolls in 3D it’ll be awesome!!!??? I think it helps when you also can’t find character sheets! And I am making a super mischievous campaign! （＾ω＾） Thanks for the great help by the app! (Very useful) ( ◠‿◠ )
