### 5/5 — Works Perfectly for Custom Dice Faces

*2023-01-10, version 4.0.1*

I needed a dice app for homebrew Dice Throne (each face has a number and iconography, for each character).  I found this app, downloaded it for free and tried it out.

It works on both iPhone and iMac silicon.  The menu links are blue font on black backgrounds and a little hard to read on iMac, easier on iPhone).

You can share your customer dice between devices.  Just open the custom dice (same screen as your assign pictures) page and email link is at bottom of dialogue box/screen.  To open on second device, select share and "more" and select the Photo Dice app.

Dice are easy to save and roll rest.  Nice 3D effect.  Can roll by shaking screen, flicking dice, or button.

I paid for the ad free version, although I didn't see any ads.  I just wanted to support the developer.  I had two questions on the app and received the first response within 24 hrs and second within a hour.  I could not ask for more.

### 4/5 — Awesome. Missing one feature

*2022-08-16*

Add tha ability to change dice facing to whatever you want. So have an option to Roll and an option to Change.

### 5/5 — EXCELLENT APP FOR BOARDGAME PLAYTESTERS

*2020-05-11, version 4.0.1*

I am still testing but this app does what it promises and looks good doing it. Right now, I have conservatively given 4 stars but if my test share across devices works, I will definitely upgrade the rating.

EDIT: Easily able to create a die and share it with other users via email.  They can then import into their app for an extra set of dice.  If you are a boardgame designer or playtester, you need this App.  I plan on paying for the ads free even though I haven’t noticed any ads.  App developer definitely deserves the tip!

### 1/5 — Crash

*2020-04-30*

The app crashes ever time i try to email custom dice. I want to play imperial assault with my sis using zoom and i didn't want her to buy the special dice.

### 5/5 — Thanx for the update. Best dice app!

*2018-11-07*

Now rolling and opening dice tray doesnt auto-unlock dice. Thanx for the option.  

One request;
Can we choose sides? Would like to create 3 sided dice, 5 sides dice, any other doable multi-sided dice up to D20’s.

### 5/5 — Unique!

*2017-07-14*

I like the features, the natural feeling of the app, including its accurate physics to make it feel truly random like I'm using real dice. Although it works on iOS 10 I would like to see an update with a fresher, modern appearance & for the dice to scatter around nearer to the top & bottom of the screen.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-02-15, version 4.0.1*

Great app to make and try out custom dice.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2017-02-08*

I'm awestruck. What a cool app. You really need six square photos though.

### 5/5 — Best, Hands Down.

*2016-10-28*

Simple. Functional. Perfection. Please try your hand at other sized dice! Would be epic.

### 5/5 — Perfect...with 1 request..

*2016-03-31*

This is probably easiest 5⭐️ I've ever given! Does exactly what I want and easy to use. 

Wishes:

1) *PLEASE* add 4,8,10,12 and 20 sided dice *PLEASE*!!! I would easily play another .99 cents for the other dice. *PLEASE* 

2) take advantage of pressure touch. Hard press to keep and regular touch to move. 

This is such a perfect app. I've bee looking for exactly this and finally found it. 

Think about .99 per dice or 2.99 to unlock all. I'd pay got that in a instant.
