### 5/5 — Simple Clean & Effective Dice Roller

*2025-08-21*

I've used a lot of dice rolling apps in the last few years. Like honestly way too many and this one just does what I want without a whole bunch of other stuff that I don't want.
Most of the time I just need to roll some dice and get a result and I don't need to have three dimensional fancy tables that bounce or sparkle when I roll a certain number. 
This app does that. It's fantastic, it's clean, there's not ads, and it is the dice roller that I use 95% of the time.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review, I really appreciate it! Love to hear that it’s your go-to dice roller. 

Feel free to send any feature requests to crithappens+feature@djpeacher.com if there’s anything you think I can do for that last 5% ;)

Happy rolling!

### 5/5 — Love it!!!!

*2025-05-28*

Best Dice Roller App out there ❤️ 10/10 would recommend

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Wonderfully simple and useful

*2025-02-23*

Does what it says, says what it does! Nuff said

**Developer response:** Glad to hear it! Thank you!

### 4/5 — Physical feedback interaction suggestion

*2025-01-16*

Great, simple perfect tool. Does exactly what's needed and looks professionally polished. One intuitive feature I'd love to see implemented is the ability to hold and "flick" dice from the bottom tray in order to roll them across the screen. Don't even need to see a fancy dice rolling animation like other online tools, I'd just prefer the interaction of "physically" "rolling" the "dice" over tapping a button. Not needed, but a suggestion nonetheless. Thanks for the hard work in making this tool available!

**Developer response:** Glad you are liking it! Thank you for the review, and the feedback! I'll add it to my list to consider.

### 5/5 — Perfect and light weight

*2025-01-15*

It just does what you need and doesn’t distract from the game.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! Happy rolling!

### 5/5 — Dice Roller

*2025-01-14*

This is exactly the dice roller I was looking for! Simple concept, Easy to use! I can give this to my party and they would be able to plug and play into any of our games. Thanks guys!

**Developer response:** Really appreciate the review, and glad to hear it was what you were looking for! Happy rolling to you and your party!

### 5/5 — Simple. Effective. No hassle dice roller.

*2025-01-14*

I really like the minimal, calculator design. It’s so straight forward it takes a hot minute to get used to it. And then, voila! It’s the best no frills, uncomplicated app you can use.

**Developer response:** Haha, straight forward was the goal! I'm glad you are liking it, and thank you for the review!

### 5/5 — Yes and...

*2025-01-13*

This is a great app. 100%. Question. Would it be too complicated to add a function in which multiple iterations of a d20 roll with a modifier for each roll? Example: 1d20+4 eight times, all at once.

**Developer response:** Update: You can now long-press a die to bring up a keypad that will let you roll the current "XdY+Z" multiple times!

I'm glad you like it! :) And great suggestion! Should be possible as long as I can find a way to not complicate the interface too much. I'll add it to my list to consider.

### 5/5 — Great, simple, handy

*2025-01-13*

Use it!! Youll like it!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! May your rolls be ever in your favor!

### 5/5 — Great for D&D

*2021-01-26*

Love the sleek & simple design of this app, and works perfectly when you don’t have dice on hand!

**Developer response:** ❤️🎲
