Genesys Dice

Although the dice roll fine and fast, the interface for showing the results is counter-intuitive. Results show up as: advantage, failure, threat, success which is beyond unreasonable! It should go: success, failure, advantage, threat, as it DID in Star Wars dice roller! Also only four results can show up on the screen simultaneously, so if you have all 6 symbols present in your roll you can’t see them! I guess the app assumes that you have the “subtract” feature on, but still that kind of display is stupid. although I appreciate faster rolling time compared to SW dice roller and better dice-choosing interface, i am overall dissatisfied with the app, it’s definitely not worth the money.

I’m running a Dark Heresy campaign using the genesys system and using this app saves slot of time. I do however think it would benefit from one of the following. Either along with adding and subtracting all dice that cancel out each other either give a table or a legend that says what each symbol is or like under each calculated outcome put the name of the symbol

I’ll be using this for addition and subtraction review with my first graders. Such an awesome way to practice!

Fantastic app, does what it needs to do, however, on newer devices, the notch digs into the UI a bit, and some of the screen elements are being cut off.

This app is actually surprising good and can really speed gameplay by automatically canceling out dice and giving you the proper result. The only thing missing is that it doesn’t support split screen multitasking on iPad. I’d love to be able to have this app open alongside my notes, character sheets, or ebooks.

FFG put this out to do one thing and does it well enough. I wish they had kept it all within the Star Wars dice app but can understand due to licensing it makes no sense. I rarely use the app as I would rather use the dice, but when I am introducing the game it allows me to show how inexpensive it is to get into genesys as an alternative to the dice. A lot of people have an issue with using special dice and this seems to reduce that frustration so they don’t have to buy a set or two.
