Dice by PCalc

Best app ever!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I'm sure cool things are coming. It's a great app
