Pocket Polyhedral is a fast, beautiful, ad-free dice roller for tabletop role-playing games and board games. Tap the table or shake to roll — results land instantly with a smooth 3D tumble on a full-screen landscape table, with every die labeled so you can read your roll at a glance. Roll every standard polyhedral die: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, and d100. Build mixed pools and roll them all at once (like 2d6 + 1d20 + 1d4), add a flat modifier, and use advantage or disadvantage for d20 checks. All your controls live in a slide-out drawer, so the dice get the whole screen. Your last 50 rolls are saved automatically so you can always check what you rolled.

Ace Defender's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
