Extra, good
The only 255 MB download on the App Store that is actually worth it.
Very nice, fun dice app. The physics engine is impressive.
I'm having a lot of fun using this as a virtual fidget. I created a die to help us choose from the local restaurants when we go to lunch. My one ask would be to allow me to control which options are available from the dice list on the left side.
Dev Rocks
PCalc is the best calculator and Dice by PCalc is the best random number generator. Thanks Dev you're awesome!
It's the best app on iPad
If you ranked them all it’s simply at the top
Delightful Dice
I adore this app. Even if it’s just your backup dice— it’s pretty fun!
The best Dice roller - by the author of PCalc
If you care about the dice you roll (and if you know what 3d6 vs. d20 is, you know you do), this is the program to roll them. The dice. They sound like dice. They look like dice. You can style them in a hundred different ways. You can shake your iDevice and the dice will fly into the air in little parabolic arcs before bouncing down and off the edges and surfaces and each other, in a spectacular display of physics. Come for the random numbers, enjoy the show!
Seriously - the ridiculously overdone care with which this app is made reminds one of a time when the majority of mac apps were made with such craftsmanship. Get it.

Still not working on Apple Watch
This app used to work on my Apple Watch and hasn’t in a long time. I was hoping this update would fix it but it still just crashes. I have an Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Beautiful
Simple, easy, surprising depth and complexity. A combination reminiscent of Graphing Calculator.
Great dice app with lots of customizability
It's a great dice app, good graphics with amazing capabilities, the Watch support is fantastic, Siri integration is cool, but the customizability is really what sets it apart. Loving the recent update with the new pride themes, I'm very happy to have the Rowan/NB tint available.

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.
Response from developer
Please try deleting and re-installing the app in your watch. If that doesn’t help, please get in touch at support@pcalc.com with your watchOS version and watch model.
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.
I got 2 20s in a row
Best app ever!
Great App
This has become my default dice roller. Great app.
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.

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.

Thanks! You’ll be glad to know there’s a DCC interface mode in version 2.6.4 which adds buttons for all these dice. Also it should make your iPad a little cooler :)
Marvelous
Ridiculous graphics, physics, performance, customization, and price. Last dice app you’ll ever need. A++
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.

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.
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.

We are aware of a issue on the watch and it will be fixed shortly in version 2.4.5.
