*************** Feature Descriptions ***************

Natural 20 has fifteen screens of features, to help you manage your dice. Here's a brief description of them. 

~ Quick Roll 
Simply pick your dice, and you have an instant result. Ideal for Dungeons & Dragons, Quick Roll offers the following eight dice; D2, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20 and D100. 

~ Multiple Dice 
In multiple dice mode you can mix your dice together as you please. This mode has been designed with Warhammer in mind, and you can easily filter the dice at the touch of a button. The remaining dice can be rolled again to find out how many enemies you wound. Stats, such as average and the sum, are displayed for each roll saving you counting on screen. Buttons are provided to remove the highest or lowest rolls, as well as any range in between. 

~ Calculator
 Great for large numbers of dice, or combinations with a modifier.

~ Roll History 
Natural 20 keeps track of all your rolls, so you can prove you actually rolled that 20! The dice stored in your history can be easily re-rolled and filtered. You can move the dice around the screen, and it will remember your order. 

~ Custom Die 
Custom Die lets you choose the sides of the dice, by separating them with commas. Natural 20 will pick a single item, or order them randomly into a list. 

~ Range Die 
Pick any range, and receive a random number. Your three most rolled ranges are available at the press of a button.

~ Teachers Die 
Handy for the classroom, this die will be helpful for Maths and English. You can use it to randomly pick letters, numbers and mathematical operators. When picking letters you can specify if they are upper or lowercase, and also pick between vowels and consonants. 

~ Colour Die 
This will give you a random colour, just run your finger across the screen like a paintbrush. Some basic information is displayed, such as the colour’s hex number, HSB, and RGB values. 

~ Direction Die 
This will point you in a totally random direction with each spin. Swipe the screen to spin it, however you can only influence which way it spins, not the outcome! 

~ Success Die 
Repeatedly rolls D6’s, discarding when they fail to meet a certain value. The total successes are displayed. 

~ Word Die
Keep collections of words, to randomise at a touch. Ideal for selecting locations and enemies randomly. You can even randomise your words as a whole list. 

~ My Dice 
My Dice allows you to save your own collections of dice, along with a description and optional modifier. These can be easily searched through, and rolled from a single tap. 

~ Dice Builder
Chose how many sides your dice have, and their colours!

~ Distribution 
Distribution allows you to create probability distribution plots for specified dice. These will show you the percentage chance of rolling a particular face value, and you can compare actual rolls against theoretical results. However, large numbers of dice can take a long time to calculate for theoretical plots.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2025-09-08, version 5.2.3*

I haven’t even used this for D&D yet but I’m sure it’s going to work great I love this app 👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Excellent. One small thing …

*2023-08-15*

Does all I want it to, excellent app & extremely flexible. I just wish the die toll color would not be random … ideally I‘d like to choose the color, but a fixed, peranent color would still be better than random stuff.

### 5/5 — 18

*2023-01-28, version 5.2.3*

Roll a d20

### 5/5 — Good for almost everything dice related

*2022-11-21, version 5.2.3*

Great and easy to use.
Would like the option to have the configuration shared between devices.

### 4/5 — I miss the shake roll

*2022-07-25, version 5.2.3*

Please have the shake sensor so it can be more realistic.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-08-24, version 5.2.2*

Does everything I need, and great value for the full version!

### 5/5 — Highly recommended

*2020-08-05, version 5.2.2*

It’s a great dice rolling app I use it all the time with D&D and occasionally for Magic the gathering now if only I can get a desktop version of it I’ll be set

### 2/5 — Great for iPhone. Terrible for Apple Watch

*2019-07-30, version 4.2*

Many dice don’t work on Apple Watch. The screen is blank. Bought this to use with watch, I should have read reviews first. It seems like people have been having this issue since last year.

### 4/5 — Great app! One thing however...

*2019-04-24, version 4.2*

I love this app! Not only am I a big fan of the quick rolling tool, but as a fervent warhammer player, I also appreciate not having to bring a small army of dice to the table. I also use the word dice a lot.

One suggestion for me to make this even better is if we were able to colour word dice or if there was an option to display the word die’s name under the result so I don’t get them mixed up. Overall a very useful app! Good Job!

### 2/5 — Decent app but some of the dice don’t work

*2019-04-08, version 4.2*

Simple and easy to use on the Apple Watch but some of the dice don’t work so you’d need another app to get by in a regular game of DnD.
