### 4/5 — Great app, a step from amazing

*2020-05-13, version 2.0.1*

I love this app, it’s perfect for people that don’t want / can’t use paper for dnd and don’t want to use their phone browser for dnd beyond.
The only things I wish for the app is it be available to Android and there be a way to connect a game with other players and GM. Don’t get me wrong, I know developers have a hard time making an app and that doing it for multiple OS’s is more time, and money that they have to do. I just have a lot of friends that use android and would love to play with them. They don’t know how good this app is. I want them to experience it themselves.

### 3/5 — Why?

*2020-03-30, version 1.5.1*

Why is it that before I can even select a character the app just crashes, it does this every time and I don’t know what to do

### 2/5 — Some issues.

*2020-03-28, version 1.5.1*

Lags, freezes up when exiting. Tutorial does not work, kicks me out. Can’t play YouTube over it. Other than that, it could be great.

### 3/5 — Problems and suggestions

*2020-03-23, version 1.5.1*

Cons
-pay to play if you wanna have the best experience
-only local play no online mode
- everything is preset
-no custom characters, stories or background 
——————————————————————————————
Suggestions
-give us a trial or free way to unlock the premium stuff
-add a online mode or join a server
-let us create our own characters
-have some people of the community and create something together or yourself

### 3/5 — Neat but To pay?

*2020-02-17*

The App is neatest app on my phone as a table top rper its great for the sudden one shot. Iove Everything about this app i just wish it was completely free but i digress for all the app offers for 4 bucks thats unlimited roleplaying for 4 bucks you cant best that. Also the app keeps crashing when i try to make a character

**Developer response:** Heyo! Thank you so much for the kind words :). We've released an app update today that a) fixes all the crashing and b) Makes Role+ free for everyone! Enjoy!

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2020-01-25*

I downloaded the game in hopes I would be able to play a storyline, but instead I can’t even work out how to. I’m stuck on just creating characters and that’s it. I read some other storylines which seem so fun to play but it won’t let me, please help me figure this out. Otherwise, this game is just a waist for my time.

**Developer response:** Hiya! An app update released today address many bugs within the app. As well as fixes being able to play the tutorial video (it's located in the settings page which is the gear icon from the Play screen).

### 2/5 — Idiots

*2019-10-27, version 1.5.1*

Don’t put a game under free if it’s going to charge you to actually play

### 4/5 — One problem

*2019-10-07*

Great game, but for me, I don't play, it would be better if you could play with random players, I used to play with my friend, she was the only one who liked that game, but sadly she killed her self, a week ago. I think it would be way WAY better if you could make a room and play with random people. Not everyone has a friend to play with

### 4/5 — I love it

*2019-09-16, version 1.5.1*

I love it and all but the one thing I don’t like is you can’t load past games.

### 3/5 — Made for charecter and plot ideas not Roleplaying

*2019-08-26, version 1.5.1*

I downloaded this thinking that it was going to be a roleplay with others online or local but you have to pay for that.

### 3/5 — Please update

*2019-04-27, version 1.5.1*

I love this game and think that it’s a great time, but please consider updating it developers! It’s been two years, and while I would love something like a HP tracker or Inventory tracker, even new characters and stories to buy would leave me happy at this point since then I would know that you haven’t abandoned the game! 

Also I would be eternally grateful if you made a version for Android, that alone would be enough for me to bump my review to a 5 as it stops me from playing with a lot of my friends by only being on the App Store.

### 4/5 — It was good

*2019-03-23, version 1.5.1*

I liked the game it was great for me but I think it would be better if when we were making our characters we could import photos for free and load in our old characters for free as well instead of getting role+ just to do it

### 3/5 — Love it! But...

*2019-03-23, version 1.5.1*

If you whant to take your time writing a story, you have to pay 4$.You have to pay money just to unlock a set of stories to start with. So, I can’t really play the game until I buy stuff with REAL money.other then that, I really like the idea of it.And even if I’m only able to create suuuuuuuuper short stories, it’s still kind of fun.If you really like writing stories,then I would recommend you give this a try.  ;)

### 4/5 — Great Concept - Minor Improvements Needed

*2019-01-21*

This app is great for getting right into the action of a short pen and paper style role play.  My first request would be that a lobby could be created where Player’s would “Join” the game and the game master could see the player sheets and their rolls.  A bigger request would be that the skill levels could be edited by the game master.

### 3/5 — Developers not listening to players

*2019-01-14*

Love the layout, love the idea, love the content.   I don’t mind spending money to support a good app either.. I’d buy everything.    But why in the world is there no way to link your games to other players?  If I have time to round up a group of friends to play in person, we aren’t playing this simple game we are playing something like D&D.   This app has the potential to be a total game changer for those not so flexible times with the addition of game links.   GM inputs text/audio message, decides order of turns for the round, players all respond, being able to see the responses of the players that went before them, GM gets a notification letting them know it’s back on them.   Many reviewers have been begging this and nothing has been done about it.  Sad.

### 1/5 — Hmmm scam?

*2024-09-06, version 2.0.2*

Be careful with this app. Upon download I was charged on some “tik tok” funds within minutes.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-04-07, version 1.5.1*

Can’t use, keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Doodoo

*2019-09-30, version 1.5.1*

This app doodoo

### 1/5 — Cant play

*2019-02-17, version 1.5.1*

I think the concept of the game seems really fun but the layout is kinda confusing and im not even sure how to invite my friends to a game, when they make a tutorial on that ill change my rating bit right now i cant even play it

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-01-27, version 1.5.1*

How do you do anything other than role? Bad game needs a better tutorial

### 1/5 — It’s ok

*2018-07-22, version 1.5.1*

It’s a good game but it could be better there should be a tutorial of how to actually get the real game instead of just rolling the dice pretty boring

### 1/5 — Are you serious?!?

*2018-04-11, version 1.5.1*

I can’t understand a single thing in this app that should be paid! I like the aspect of the game, but making virtually everything you do paid is just overkill entirely

### 1/5 — Baka

*2018-03-27, version 1.5.1*

Your app crashed to easily

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2017-12-06, version 1.5.1*

This app is crap. Don’t even download it. You just click buttons no actual role playing is done. It’s only useful for profile builds.

### 1/5 — Do not download.

*2017-09-23, version 1.5.1*

This game is not worth it. It lags, has way too many ads, and is overall a bad game.

### 5/5 — It’s good but

*2022-07-20, version 2.0.2*

It’s good but if u could make it so that they can change to the game master if they can’t play with other players that would benefit people and me

### 5/5 — Awesome game!!!!

*2021-08-07*

I just wanted to say this is an amazing game! 5 stars easily. I haven’t bought any of the extra things yet but I want to. I’ve made so many characters (mainly based on things from games and shows.) I hope the developers keep making this and an inventory system and hp system would be great! Have a great day!

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2020-04-24, version 2.0.1*

Really let’s you get creative and just play some good ol TTRPG action.

### 5/5 — great new update

*2020-04-21, version 2.0.0*

was a fan of this app for a long time, but it went the past year or so without an update.  even though it was kinda slow, it’s great convenient easy rpg system.  but this update is sleek and intuitive for newer devices.  can’t wait for what the future holds!

### 5/5 — Great new design

*2020-04-18*

Been using this app for years but I have to see the new design is amazing. I use it on my phone and iPad and my friends and I enjoy using it. The only issue I have currently is with the recent update my iPad can’t load back all the characters I’ve saved and crashes, but I’m sure that’s just a new bug from where the update adjusted for crashes on newer phones and will be fixed with a future update. Other than that it’s been a fantastic app and can’t wait to see what all is in store for future updates.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your support and for using Role all these year! :D Sorry to hear we missed some bugs with the iPad. We are looking into it. We'd love your help debugging the issue. If you are interested, please send us an email to support@playrole.com.
UPDATE: v2.0.1 has a fix for this issue!

### 5/5 — Very Nice

*2020-04-10, version 1.5.1*

It is good

### 5/5 — KogenLight1

*2019-11-06, version 1.5.1*

It is Awesome I love playing with my friend we just can’t get enough of it we use it every Sunday LOL this app so cool we going to start using it do you like more!

### 5/5 — You should consider making a mmorpg

*2019-07-19, version 1.5.1*

The game is great but you should make a mmorpg to bring in more people where the same idea for this game could be transferred to your massive multiplayer online role-playing game where you get to actually create your own character. With your own art design and if you join or make a clan, you should only be limited to creating 10 NPCs only in a clan. This is just my own thought to be honest but hey if nobody does it then I’ll do it. Sweet game still 5 stars! :)

### 5/5 — This is amazing

*2019-07-08, version 1.5.1*

This game has characters and stories and they are awesome

### 5/5 — Role is amazing!

*2019-05-01*

Role is an incredible game with great graphics and a really fun gameplay role with lots of characters. I can’t wait to keep playing. Only problems is their should be a backpack for tools and Hp. Additionally, you should be able to role play online with people who aren’t in the same room as you!
