### 2/5 — Can’t see my character sheet

*2026-02-21, version 1.2.2*

I can login to my account and enter the campaign but i can’t see the Character sheet. Please fix

### 2/5 — Unfixed issue

*2026-02-08, version 1.2.2*

The interface has been messed up for like weeks now none of the icons/images load in anymore.

### 2/5 — Technically works sometimes

*2026-01-25*

This app technically does work sometimes. The app store says the last update was three years ago and it shows. (For the sake of completeness, I use an iPhone 13 mini on ios 27.) I can sometimes open it, select a game, then a character, then scroll through the sheet and select the action I want to roll. However, it only loads sometimes and crashes. It also claims I don’t have any attacks/spells loaded, but then right below shows my actual attacks/spells. Images don’t load, including ones that were presumably uploaded by the Roll20 team as part of the app. Printing my sheet and manually rolling is a much better experience.

### 2/5 — Frustrating bug

*2026-01-12*

For some reason the app has been bugging for weeks. Half of the interface’s images are just gone, and have been for weeks but it was still usable until earlier today. My character went down and after I opened the death save screen I can no longer leave it. When I hit the back button it brings me to the character select, and when I try to access my character it just brings me back to the death save screen. I tried closing the app, then I tried deleting it and redownloading it, nothing worked. Please fix it as this is the only app that I can use to play dnd with my friends because I don’t have a computer.

### 2/5 — Progressively worse

*2026-01-07, version 1.2.2*

As this app has received updates it has continuously gotten filled with more bugs. As of now all icons are blank, many of the tabs such as treasures, spells, and inventory are not able to be interacted with.

### 3/5 — Any updates soon?

*2026-01-01, version 1.2.2*

Will there be new updates to support 2024 sheets?

### 2/5 — Fix it please

*2025-12-14, version 1.2.2*

I LOVE roll 20 but the app is so horrible. Nothing works, I can’t even get into my games, only character sheets and that barely works either the images and everything is Super buggy. Please fix it……

### 1/5 — What?!?

*2025-11-25, version 1.2.2*

This app is garbage I hope the developers get it together and fix it, I can’t create characters, manage my games that I DM, and I can’t invite players to my campaigns…everything has to be done on my pc browser which is annoying as I am trying to get things set up for an upcoming campaign

### 1/5 — Character Sheets Not Working

*2025-11-14, version 1.2.2*

Unfortunately, the character sheets don’t generate after choosing your game.

### 1/5 — it doesnr even do what it sets out to

*2025-11-03, version 1.2.2*

you simply cannot create a character, if you want to add spells you need a desktop despite it being a mobile game, you can simply create a new character and build from it your soft locked into this weird editing phase and theres just no easy way to use this app

### 1/5 — Not functional in the current state

*2025-10-26, version 1.2.2*

Games and characters created in web version don’t show up in this app. Game is listed but cannot be opened. Characters aren’t even shown.
There’s no way to create anything from within the app as well.

### 2/5 — It’s just barely okay

*2025-10-13, version 1.2.2*

For starters, you can’t edit your character sheet in the app, just the browser. That makes the app completely pointless. Everything is kinda glitchy and the layout is a mess in my opinion. Honestly, the only reason I even have an account is because my dm wanted to try roll 20. After this campaign I’ll be deleting the app and never touching roll 20 again.

### 1/5 — Semplicemente non funziona

*2025-09-20, version 1.2.2*

Imbarazzante

### 1/5 — Why is it only character sheets?

*2025-09-02, version 1.2.2*

My friends and I use the Roll20 website to play one of the Star Wars games, and thought I would like to try the app if there is one. But I guess this is ONLY for character sheets. Not sure why you would have an app to match your website that is for only one part of the game, yes an important part, but why not have full access to most of the features of the website on the app. Just seems underdeveloped 😕

### 1/5 — Unable to login

*2025-08-25, version 1.2.2*

Unable to login

### 3/5 — Good, but needs some work

*2025-07-28*

I like what the app is trying to achieve, but in terms of what it lacks, it lacks the ability to roll damage, half of the sections on your character sheet to include combat and spells gives a message that SAYS there are no attacks or spells listed, but then the attacks and spells are just listed below (not a functional issue, but doesn’t look good for the app), within the spells it doesn’t show casting time or duration, all the attacks for various spells in the combat section show doing no damage while the spell page says otherwise, and while I understand the format of showing your campaigns and then showing the characters therein, I think it would be much better if I could look at ALL my characters and not just the ones that are a part of campaigns. Also the ability to use the charactermancer in the app would be really cool.

### 1/5 — Triste

*2025-07-19, version 1.2.2*

O app n consegue nem ao menos espelhar a tela do site, vc fica limitado a apenas mesas q estão no formato d&d 5e roll20, se vc estiver na 5e normal ou na 5e 2024 n vai nem aparecer para vc, pq vcs fazem isso equipe do roll20? Era mais fácil bolar uma versão Mobile do site mas não quiseram inventar moda e ficou essa coisa

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2025-07-04, version 1.2.2*

I cannot see most the screen. Doesn’t zoom out.

### 2/5 — Works, barely

*2025-06-24, version 1.2.2*

I can roll. I can level up, kinda. Would love an update to add better functionality.

### 1/5 — Non funziona

*2025-06-17, version 1.2.2*

Semplice ed intuitiva non permette di fare nulla. La maniera migliore di non poter fare assolutamente nulla. Consigliato a chi non voglia giocare a D&D. Non consente ne la creazione, ne la modifica, ne la visualizzazione della scheda del personaggio, nemmeno se creata sul sito ufficiale. Scegli questa app per avere il modo migliore in assoluto di non avere nulla di utile.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-02-18, version 1.2.2*

The apps find my campaign and character, but does not load anything about the character. This app does nothing. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

### 1/5 — Very Glitchy

*2026-02-02, version 1.2.2*

Works but the interface is messed all the way up.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-01-31, version 1.2.2*

Useless unless you are looking for an “error processing card” simulator.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2026-01-30, version 1.2.2*

I can’t even access my character sheet, useless.

### 1/5 — Not current

*2026-01-03, version 1.2.2*

Doesn’t work with 2024 jumpgate campaigns.
The in-app feedback form also doesn’t work. Unable to choose an option from the mandatory drop-down field for feedback type.

### 1/5 — Barely updated

*2025-12-22, version 1.2.2*

No updates in awhile. Promised many, many features that have gone unfulfilled. Disappointing.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-12-09, version 1.2.2*

Was trying to play from a character sheet and the majority I couldn’t see or see the specs of my ac and hit points disappeared too please try harder

### 1/5 — What?!?

*2025-12-06, version 1.2.2*

This app is garbage I hope the developers get it together and fix it, I can’t create characters, manage my games that I DM, and I can’t invite players to my campaigns…everything has to be done on my pc browser which is annoying as I am trying to get things set up for an upcoming campaign.
At this point DND Beyond is a far better alternative thinking about uninstalling and moving my entire campaign from roll 20 to DND Beyond

### 1/5 — Roll20 but you don’t have any features

*2025-12-02, version 1.2.2*

So so far the app hasn’t been updated in the following regards in at least 6 months:
- you don’t see maps
- you need an already built character sheet otherwise it’s a huge pain to level
- if your game uses 2024 sheets you just can’t use them.

Legit what a disgrace of an app, just take it off the store by this point

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2025-11-26, version 1.2.2*

Most of the Home Screen simply isn’t visible. There are big blank areas and many of the controls and menus shown on the Getting Started pop up aren’t there at all. Too bad; I had already created my character and paid for the PHB on Roll20’s website and was hoping to use this app for playing since the website doesn’t work that well on iPad. :(

### 5/5 — Muy útil 🥰

*2023-11-25, version 1.2.2*

Tenía miedo de descargar la app y perder mi tiempo con un producto malo, ya que tenía pocas estrellas. Pero es excelente. El único detalle es que solo sirve si tienes una cuenta en la página de roll20.
Pero si la tienes es una excelente herramienta. La voy a recomendar a todos mis jugadores.

Podría mejorar el producto, claro, como todo, pero es muy buena.

### 5/5 — Everything I need to play, nothing I didn’t

*2022-02-23, version 1.1.0*

I used the app for session 1 tonight, and it was perfect for keeping my character at hand for rolls that were shared with the rest of my party.

Combat and role play were easy from wit just the app open.

### 5/5 — Big Fan!

*2022-02-19, version 1.1.0*

I must admit, that I am more than confused about the bad ratings the app got on this page.
I think it is a great companion for our weekly session, because we switch between playing in person and online.
I also had no major problems with bugs.
Surely recommended it to all of my mates!

### 5/5 — I love the work done!

*2021-11-10*

I learned that this was a thing through a random survey, and I’m glad I did! This is just about all I could ask for and more! I know it early and things are obviously in the works, but some things to add that jump out at me:
VTT, so players may view a prepared battlefield. Compendium so they may see all accessible spells and information, as this goes a long way for them to find things quick versus flipping through all our books. I’m sure there are other things, but this app is already headed in the right direction! I would say that if this could be advertised more, it would go a long way to getting more feedback and getting this great app in people’s hands!

**Developer response:** Thank you for downloading our app! We will keep working on it! We really appreciate the five stars and are happy to hear that you had a positive experience over all!

### 5/5 — A DM’s Dream Come True

*2021-11-07*

This app is a godsend, thank you devs. This is my first review being an App Store consumer since it’s iteration. Everything in this app is pure gold. 

Please add bio and charactermancer functionality! Being able to peep the currently active page for players at the token layer would be next level. 

Thank you for making this companion app a reality!

**Developer response:** We're so glad you're having such a positive experience with the app! Thank you for letting us know what would make it even better!



We have a team dedicated to improving the app and adding new functionality over time. If you’d like to check out what’s coming you can click the “Submit an idea” button inside the app.

### 5/5 — Awesome App that provides easier use for players

*2021-11-07, version 1.0*

The fact that I can roll on my phone and interact with my character sheet is amazing. The UI is also very sleek and intuitive

### 4/5 — When the next updates?

*2024-06-26, version 1.2.2*

Honestly this app does what it should gives rolls and shows pretty much whole sheet.
Does need better work moving around on it between every part.

It should have an input toggle for rolls instad of just constant clicking to get X amount rolls.

### 4/5 — Lost info spells

*2022-08-08, version 1.2.2*

Lovely app, but when I read the spells, info about like duration, target and components, they do not appear, as if I hadn’t written on roll20 web page

### 4/5 — Things are starting to work great

*2022-04-11, version 1.2.1*

I had a lot of problems before, some seem to be because of elements in our game that caused character sheet issues. Still no way to turn on things like sneak attack easily but I use it every session now

### 4/5 — Looks good…

*2022-03-25, version 1.2.1*

Looks good, does what the description says.

There’s room for improvement in speed and information density.

I’m happy they took the time to make it.

The other reviews can be ignored.
