Star Wars™ Dice

The default settings have to be adjusted in order to optimize this app. The starting sensitivity is too low and having ‘cancel symbols’ disabled makes the app harder to use. The ‘cancel symbols’ setting has a confusing name, but does all the math of canceling out successes, failures, advantages, and disadvantages, making the app much easier to use and more useful.

The original reason I bought this was to have digital dice for the SW RPG. It was good, but not great. I ended up using other websites for my RPG dice rolling. I saw there was an update and decided to play around with it. It’s easy to say that I love this app now. You can save presets of dice, which is great. And the fact that you can use generic dice means you can use this for any game. Good to see that flexibility! The other dice options are also appreciated and makes me want to run Star Wars XWing again. Great job!

This was my primary dice rolling app. Now I’m finding a new one after they ripped out a lot of conventional dice(d4,d8,d12,d20). Just because your rulebooks don’t specifically call for those dice doesn’t mean I wasn’t using them, even in those games. But hey, it’s not like I paid for those features, right? Edit: Those dice have been added back. My thanks to those working on this app. My rating has been changed to reflect the change and quick response.

If there is a way to switch between interface variants, they sure don’t make it easy to find. (I’ve spent 15 minutes scouring “settings” and haven’t found it.) The 1.0 interface had better options, better default settings, and simulated playing a dice-based game nicely. I especially miss being able to select a sound theme. Now, I feel like I paid $5.00 for a $0.99 dice calculator with the Star Wars logo. I think the dev team (or, more probably, the executive that told them they had to change the app completely), “If it ain’t broke... don’t fix it.”

I can’t seem to find a bug report in the app so I’m doing it here. App works great, but when I roll the force dice, the ‘show results’ function are showing dark side pips as a white circle, and light side pips as a dark circle. I feel like this is reversed and is very confusing. This needs to be fixed. Thank you. (Star Wars Role Playing Game.)
