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. FEATURES • Every standard die: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, d100 • Mixed dice pools — combine different dice in a single roll • Value chips under every die — read mixed rolls at a glance • Advantage & disadvantage for d20 • Flat modifiers from −20 to +20 • Saved pools — name any setup and re-roll it in one tap (Pro) • Roll history — your last 50 rolls, saved on device • Shake to roll, with haptic and sound feedback (both optional) • True random results using the system's cryptographic generator • Respects Reduce Motion • Works fully offline — no account, no network required PRIVACY FIRST No ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pocket Polyhedral at none against Ace Defender's shown. Pocket Polyhedral also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). 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.
