A dice app worth paying for. I’ve put my physical dice away after getting this app. I think the quality of the graphics, haptics, and physics really sets this apart from the other free options on the App Store that I had tried. I never really liked the two-dimensional or text-based dice simulators because I think part of the excitement in landing a roll comes from watching the die spin and turn, sometimes just barely missing the number you wanted or feared. With physics-based dice, you still get that! This app’s option to save dice sets (allowing you to automatically roll dice combinations with the appropriate modifiers already added) for common rolls has made combat in DnD 5E faster and easier for me. The app‘a feature set also makes it convenient to roll with advantage or disadvantage, which I’ve really come to appreciate. All in all, I’ve got what I feel is as close a representation of physical dice as one can get. As far as I’m concerned, they difference is that these are as fair as random (or pseudo-random) can get, and for only $2!! That’s a lot better than you can see about the vast majority of mass-produced dice, which typically favor certain numbers over others because of the quality of production.

The watch app is very glitchy and doesn’t run well.. I just bought this because I was excited about rolling dice on my wrist. Sadly the app barely works on the Apple Watch (running on a series 7, running latest watch os 8.3). It rolls fine once or twice and then glitches and stutters so bad you can’t use it. I’d love to give this another try once they fix the glitches.

Almost better than Dicenomicon. I miss the formulas of Dicenomicon (if, then, else) but this is awesome. Great graphics, lots of options. Def better than most other simple dice rollers found here in the App Store. And cheaper than a gallon of gas.

Great!. Thanks for adding a traditional D6 design. Now it’s perfect. :)

Waiting 27 Years For TLA’s Next App.... And well worth the wait! The delight of tossing a dice around with my finger. The built in Advantage / Disadvantage dice. The thrilling tracking camera. An utter delight WITH ONE HUGE PROBLEM, THOMSON: Where’s my PURPLE dice?!

Fun, beautiful, and thoroughly considered. So much fun. Love the haptics! The joy of this app makes me feel like I’m on an original iPhone again.

NICE. This is just a really nice app all around. You *roll dice*. It’s like real dice—nice expensive dice—actually rolling. They behave realistically and are confidence-inspiringly for-real random: as far as I can tell, the numbers that come up do so because of actual, gut-satisfying, physics-based tumbling, not a random number generation algorithm you never fully buy into. They look beautiful and are very modifiable. Only thing resembling a “complaint” I have is that this app is a battery hog and my iPad heats up when I use it. I do not care and wouldn’t have it any other way: beautiful, physics-based dice-rolling. If cool-running battery-sipping is top priority, find a non-physics-based app that isn’t beautiful and knock yourself out. They’re available and the good ones work fine, you just won’t like them as much. I have suggestions/ideas, but they’re pluses and highly specific additions, not missing features worth dinging a superbly done app a half-star for. My main suggestion is “more dice please!” I’m becoming a little bit of a DCC/MCC geek lately, so it’d be amazing to have 3, 5, 7, 14, 16, 24, 30-sided zocchi dice in the app. My expectations are managed here: I’m aware these shapes aren’t normal, simple platonics whose creation maybe isn’t a trivial matter, and developers have to consider ROI. Just an idea.

No more rolling off the table. This is a much more convenient way to roll dice. They don’t go off the table or land cocked.

True Dice Luck. When I first purchased this app, it took me 5 rolls of a D20 before my total exceeded 20. I knew right then: this was the dice rolling app for me, and my players. Mostly my players.

Banana!. It’s perfect. I give it five stars and forty-two bananas. With advantage.

Love the new theme and sound effects. Look, I don’t really okay dice games much, but I still love having this app on my phone. It’s a fun little thing to open it up and roll some dice. The dice look amazing and with this new update adding sound effects, it’s even better.

Unbelievable. Honestly one of the most technically and aesthetically impressive apps on my phone.

Polyhedral what?!?. I have no use for this app whatsoever. Don’t know the difference between a dragon’s arse and dungeons vestibule. However it’s been some time since I paid for Pcalc on iOS or macOS so I bought it and tipped right away. I’ll be looking for a reason to use this thing because it looks very cool. Hope I don’t end up loosing the mortgage payment on an ill conceived craps adventure. 😉

for when real coins are hazardous. 素晴らしいランダム性 When it’s too dangerous or impractical to flip a real coin, use this. Also great for playing craps, farkle, or farfadfausen to take one’s mind off things, even in zero g. If everything’s blinking red and there’s nothing you can do, then remember to open this app up. If nothing else, as a poetic gesture. And, at least the following moments will be somewhat playfully entertaining. If relevant, be sure to also get the macOS version of this app now, just in case.

v1 & already best d&d dice app. gorgeous and functional by one of the oldest and best Mac developers.

Best designed dice game out there. My son and I started playing a little D&D type battle just because of how simply cool this app is. If you care about appearance and realistic physics, and prefer apps that are well-built, get this one.

Does the job. I just spent 10 minutes flicking dice around on this app. I like the ADV/DIS and +1 features. Nice touches like haptics and the spoken results. I tried flicking one die into another to see if they affect each other; they do but not much. Shake-to-roll needed a hefty shake to activate. Neat little app that serves a purpose.

I give it a 4.998 but had to round up.. The real time physics don’t always roll the dice realistically but I’m guessing that the random number generator is much better. The big down fall though is that the tray doesn’t come in forest, dungeon, cave, pub and other settings. This has unsettled me very much as I would expect those in a dice program for dragons and dungeons. I also quite expected to see goblin hands or dragon claws grabbing onto the dice and rolling them when I flicked my fingers or clicked on the re-roll button which totally ruins the realism of this dragons and dungeons dice game. I’m hoping people can tell but I’m having fun in my review. The physics of the rolling dice doesn’t seem all that realistic but it does have everything else and is done very well. But if they are looking for something to do (just in case they are bored or between D&D games, that dragons & dungeons to you and you and you, then that is something they could work on. God knows that I would be of no help with that. But everything else is great!

Marvelous. Ridiculous graphics, physics, performance, customization, and price. Last dice app you’ll ever need. A++

Great but needs share function. This app is great but needs a shared dice roll mechanic so if you and others “connect” you can see other’s rolls.

Incredibly useful!. I used this during a game of D&D and it made the game go so much more smoothly!

Wow. Just wow.. This is amazing. I loved the original Dicenomicon (Pre +1 Edition) because of every little detail that can be tweaked. This is well on its way to being the best. It already surpasses 99% of other dice rollers.

Dice idle. Great dice app. So fun to just keep clicking reroll.

The photo mode is delightful. A new art form emerges! The best app from one of the best people. I'm sure cool things are coming. It's a great app

This rocks. Thank you very much. I don’t play D’n’D anymore but I love to have dice at my finger tips and on my watch!!!!!’

AWSOME app. I love this app you can lots of dice at the same time and if you zoom out you see a banana and if you press on it lots of bananas it’s cool and the graphics are awesome

Brings joy. This is what happens when one of the premier indie developers needs a dice app.

Could benefit from more reroll options. Great execution on existing features, and seems particularly patterned to meet the needs of D&D players. For my part Iwish it had a little more power in the UI for common rolling patternsfor Warhammer 40k and other Games Workshop games. This would be a lifesaver for 40k, as ork players can easily end up rolling 50+ dice for a roll. For example, a common pattern might be 30D6(drop <5), reroll(drop<4), reroll(drop <6). Currently there isn’t any way to reroll the existing dice on the table with drop settings. It would be great to see this added to the side similar to ADV/DIS (which we don’t need). Another common pattern might be rerolling all of the 1s in the tray.

Another HomeRun!. In my opinion, this developer is easily amongst the best app developers out there. I know that it’s “just a dice app” and it’s “just a calculator app”, but clearly he doesn’t do anything half assed. I absolutely love the attention to detail. I want to see and use more apps from this guy.

Amazing physics. Even if you don’t have a hot D&D date, this is still great as a fidget device. Physics are awesome. Haptics and bananas too! (Can you find the bananas?). Great developer support too! Very responsive!

One stupid complaint.. EDIT: I love you. Thank you. I love this app. It’s a handy replacement for carrying around actual dice for those impromptu games of D&D. It has great visuals, and I can keep flicking the dice just because. I love the customization too. The only problem is, and here is my one stupid complaint, that there isn’t enough variety of colors (especially green). As a weirdo who collects mostly green dice, I was hoping for more in that color pallet. Same goes for purple too. There’s 4 different blues and 3 different reds, but the rest get stuck with only one. There are dice that have two tones of color but you can only choose one color for them and it looks off. Please consider updating that part of the app (and maybe for your calculator app too, lime green is not the greatest pick). Thank you for your efforts.

Developer effort shows!. This app is so much fun to play with, even outside the settings you might roll dice in, to be worth your time and money. The themes are great, the dice physics spot-on, and the options are numerous enough to occupy you for a long while. Highly recommended!

Pretty, but.... It really is way nice and all to customize your dice and have all the fun fx when rolling, but as far as usefulness goes I’m mildly disappointed that basic necessities like stat rolling commands (or even the ability to set it up a “drop the lowest” command on your own) isn’t available like it is in previous dice-roller apps I’ve owned. It’s something I really expected to be included in a pay-to-use app. That said, now I have to download a secondary app just to do what I need to do.

I got 2 20s in a row. Best app ever!

Phenomenal. Dice by PCalc is literally the best designed, most versatile and one of the most truly magnificent Dice apps available. It’s perfect on iOS and iPadOS, but also recently discovered the joys of massive D20’s, etc. on screen via Apple TV!!! What?? When I wanted to make a custom die with the 24 Runic symbols of the Elder Futhark, James (Dev) explained how to accomplish that; it worked perfectly. Dice by PCalc keeps getting better with consistent updates and improvements throughout the year. Highly recommend.

Default d10 change please!. By default, the dice program counts a 0 on a d10 as a zero, versus a 10. That doesn’t do much good when trying to calculate a 5d10 monster’s hit dice. Yes I created a custom 1-10 d10, but then I have both your default 0-9 d10, and my custom 1-10 d10 loaded up. That’s odd. I’m just not seeing any need for the 0-9 d10 when you already have a nice set of percentage dice loaded by default as well. Having a 1-10 d10, and the dual percentage dice loaded by default makes much more sense as a default than including the 0-9 die. Or maybe you could add a switch in options that reads the d10 as 1-10, versus 0-9 ? Otherwise- really incredible app overall - well done !

I paid for it. You should too. I mean multi-sided dice with actual physics? Yes please! Pay the man so he can add more things. Also, I can final roll my 18th level rogue’s sneak attack plus poison in one fowl-swoop.

Sublimely simple AND effective. Not joking when I say this app demonstrates what the AppStore is all about. An App that is well written, well tested, well designed and ACTUALLY cared about by the developer. This is the type of app and type of developer who has earned my money and respect with their work. …and seriously, this is a dice rolling app, why the heck am I wasting all these words on a ridiculous dice app??? Because it is THE BEST DICE ROLLING APP you might possible ever see. :-)

Amazingly well done dice rolling app. Incredible physics and user experience. A must buy if you’re into role playing games (or otherwise have a need for some kind of dice). On my iPad Pro the experience is excellent. It’s like having a fancy box filled with magical dice that count themselves and look, sound, and feel excellent to use. Worth the price for dice so nice.

Great app but recently always crashes on launch for watchOS. I can’t use it on watch anymore. As soon as the app opens on the watch it crashes. Still works great on iPhone.

Perfect. I laughed the first time I rolled a Critical Fail. One bit of feedback is that it wasn't obvious how to change from the Simple interface.

Perfectly Beautiful Dice Rolling. It works great and looks amazing on every device. The Apple Watch app is especially impressive!

Near perfect. This dice app is probably the best I have seen so far. Adding a multiplayer mode would really make this the perfect rpg dice simulation.
