Fast, Efficient and Customizable
This is the best dice app for me and has the features I want immediately and ones I’m certain I will take advantage of later. Small steps right now. I use other dice beyond the traditional polyhedra (like in DCC) and having those physical dice can be inconvenient or impossible. I used Dice Ex Machina to create a folder with all the non-standard values I need and can tap the one I want or all simultaneously.

Perfection
This app is so excellent for my gaming needs at the table.
Very handy
Very good, no farting around, just dice 9/10
Not intuitive
Just not intuitive at all, no tutorials or assistance built in. Not happy.
The Black Hand
All the choices you need for classic cars, smokes & counter counting. Come on.
Do you really need to watch a number till it lands? What good is it when Rosencrantz & Guildenstern argued this with a quarter every morning till it was precedent to step aside Shakespeare’s stage and wonder why.

Fastest dice roller
Great for resolving large amounts of attacks/damage dice.
Can you add a function for ‘exploding dice’ like shadowrun?

Amazing app
Would love to see a watch app version for this app.
Best dice calculator type app
IMO, The best dice calculator type app for baseball Sims. So easy to set up all the dice rolls you need for the various charts. The only thing I think is missing your support for multiplication. That would allow for some of the odder dice needs of games like Statis-Pro, which needs two base eights dice concatenated.Be even odder classic Sports Illustrated (10-39) could be supported too.

Ads and a pay wall
Is at we better if you got rid of the ads and the pay wall or basic aesthetic.
Great for TTRPGs
There are many digital character sheets in the world, and many digital dice rollers. However, both get clunky in most higher-level D20 systems where rolls have a variety of circumstantial modifiers and secondary effects that cannot be fully automated. That’s where Dice Ex Machina comes in: Dice Ex Machina’s folder system offers a simple way to craft complex outcomes, and has been a godsend for my play experience.
The only failing of the app is that the roll results gray out when any adjustments are made or the results are off-screen (such as in a large folder), losing the ability to confirm whether the underlying roll was a max/min. If this were fixed, it would be the best roller app I’ve ever used.

not impressed enough to buy
good design, but I don't feel the random factor is right based on a simple 2D6 roll repeated a number of times compared to physical dice roll or RND function in excel vba.
Missing one thing that would make it perfect…
You can read the other reviews to see how great this app is but I do think it’s missing one very important thing that some other dice got right: the feeling of rolling dice. Of course, no app is going to get this perfectly, because you don’t have physical dice in your hand. However there is awesome suspension when an app will mimic the physical rolling of dice, and you have to sit at the edge of your seat, mentally to wait for the result. This app just gives you the result immediately. Which I’m sure many people appreciate, but an option to have it on or off would just be perfect. Maybe in the future!

It’s a really great app!
This app is absolutely excellent, between the full dice sets, the custom sets to use for rolling character action quickly, and the wonderful interface and function! There’s also a dice calculator, which is really useful for some more complex rolling, especially as a dm as well!
The premium is also a one time purchase, and the main features aren’t locked behind a paywall; it unlocks some extra peripheral dice, colors, handy extra dice settings!
Something I think would be pretty fun would be to have some different sound effects for dice rolls, like a clack sound, a longer dice rolling sound, maybe a thump sound, but that’s just a fun little quirk I think would add some nice atmosphere, even if it’s just with the premium version.
Overall, excellent app! Great features, great premium pricing, and I’ll definitely be purchasing it in the future to support the creator!

Dice Ex Machina
Really finds that sweet spot between doing what you need (rolling various dice) without doing what you don’t (noise and animations)
The feature that really stands out in this one is that you can group your dice into “sets“ and roll the sets all at once. Perfect for quick NPC creation.

No FATE dice?
Haven’t used this much yet (I’ve just got back from my main convention and where it was a pain lugging a dice bag), but there doesn’t seem to be support for FATE dice (2 +, 2 -, and 2 blank on a cube). I suppose I could use the d3 as a substitute, but it’s remembering which way the numbers translate.

What?
I literally wanted to roll a D6. That was all I wanted a single D6. I was literally in able to figure out how to roll anything at all even with my girlfriends help
Brilliant, likely everything you’ll need
This app has so many features and a way to join them together, it’s likely all you’ll need to track a character and roll dice for every common situation, and most uncommon ones too, for any edition of D&D and most other dice based gaming systems. And after you’ve done all the setup work, you can back up everything simply by sending a copy to yourself… even better.
If you don’t need all that, and just want to roll your Magic Missile damage of 5D4+5, it’ll do that too, without any setup.

Almost Perfect
I’ve used this app for years, and I have never once regretted getting the premium version. The dice sets are the star of the show, but there’s plenty of usability features all around. As a DM I’ve used the calculator more times than I expected for weird rolls, and the extra row of rice shows this was made with DnD in mind. I keep all my monsters on my phone, making impromptu combats easy.
There’s only one thing I could ask for, and that’s the ability to make “composite” modifiers by referencing other modifiers. There’s many other TTRPGs that have multiple modifiers composed of other modifiers, and it would really round out dice sets to be able to do that.

Great, but missing one thing
This app is awesome, I’m using it to play the Star Wars Saga Edition Roleplaying Game. I’m able to make most of my dice rolls here, but would like the ability to add a certain statistic to my roll, for example adding the strength statistic to an attacking roll. Please, dev(s) could you make this an option, preferably in the free version? Overall, this app is insane and great at what it does! Totally recommend and would take it to 5 if the dev(s) added this feature.

Collects lots of private information
Collects lots of private information. Better to use Dungeon Dice which is similar but without all the surveillance.
