### 5/5 — Unreal

*2026-03-19, version 2.0.16*

Use unreal engine make objects very realistic. App allows to add a lot of lot of lot of dices. App calculate sum of points. I recommend it.

### 5/5 — FUN

*2023-06-19, version 2.0.16*

It was great! I love the diversity and multiplayer is a blast!

### 1/5 — Pay To Win

*2022-05-27, version 2.0.16*

Bad And Pay To Win

### 5/5 — Shake dice make ‘em role

*2022-02-23, version 2.0.16*

It does the dice trick role when shake great game weird dice.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2022-01-17, version 2.0.16*

Hands down the best game I’ve ever played in my life, graphics are brilliant, zero lag. What more can I say?

### 5/5 — Overwhelmingly convenient

*2021-11-06, version 2.0.16*

I like to make basic decisions through chance. I don't always keep dice on me and I even lamented not bringing my D20 while on vacation. Certainly easier and more convenient to have such a thing on your phone, especially when you're at a restaurant or a bar. 

Only problem is all these other dice apps seem to use number generation only, cleverly disguised or otherwise. While there's probably no difference between rolling physical or digital dice, the efficacy of the latter and by extension RNG is certainly very questionable. Neither here nor there of course.

Point is, this app answers this problem for me intelligently. Instead of pressing a button to, in theory, roll dice, it uses physics powered by the iPhone's gyroscope and accelerometer to put the power in your hands to shake the dice as long as you want and roll however you please, with assurance that you're getting a true roll in the palm of your hand.

Individual dice cost a dollar each, but you can buy all the dice offered in the app for two dollars. That's a coin, numbered variety D6, customizable pip-variety D6, a D4, a D5, A D8, a D10, a percentile D10, a D12, and a D20 for a fraction of the cost for a set of Chess*x. Not to mention that you get the added value of being able to take the dice with you wherever you go, so long as your phone's charged.

The possibilities are endless, not just making decisions. Impromptu games of Yahtzee at a party, make up for missing dice in Monopoly, generate an invoice number in your small business, teach children math. WHATEVER 😂👌

### 1/5 — Pay for anything apart from d6. Don’t bother

*2021-11-06, version 2.0.16*

There are much better options out there that ARE free. If you play anything apart from Traveller don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Terrible

### 1/5 — I hate

*2021-06-18, version 2.0.16*
