Dice simulator including 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 20 sided plus create your own. Roll up to 10 dice at one time with instant results. Colorful dice with roll animation and sound. I created DnD Roller as an alternative to a clunky website my daughter and friends were using. While the function is simple, the design is low friction and fun.

Genesis's advantage is ratings volume (281 vs 4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
