The Dicenomicon + 1

While I am glad to see a rewritten version of what used to be my favorite dice app, and pay another 8 dollars for it, the app currently has no sound, has bugs where the dice go completely missing from the screen, is missing the old dice like d30 etc and still has doesnt have “marble” or “wood” or even “transparent” dice that look the way they could or should. I hope development continues and these deficiencies addressed, but let the buyer beware.

Great all-purpose customizable dice rolling app. Could be the best if not for some annoying bugs and missing/broken features. Examples: dice occasionally become invisible, requiring an app restart to fix (usually happens after doing some kind of customization, like adding a Favorite Roll); there’s no way to delete custom dice you’ve created; no way to import your own image file to use as a background (you can choose from 15 static backgrounds, but can’t import your own, although you can import a PDF file); trying to create your own Game Room crashes the app; can’t delete custom Dice Bars you create (the delete button is unresponsive); renaming Dice Bars doesn’t work. The developer is notoriously unresponsive to inquiries and bug reports, but I’m happy that he has finally updated the app with some improvements. As of Version 1.1, the app has dice rolling sound, which was previously missing. But those of us who paid for the most expensive dice roller in the App Store shouldn’t have to wait another year for the rest of the issues to be addressed.

If all you want is a dice roller, this fits the bill. I have heavily used the Dicenomicon for many years. I created many complex dice formulas, a capability that clearly put all the other dice rollers to shame. However, the +1 version is useless to me because it removed critical dice formula support features and all but the most basic features have been removed from the roll editor. Remarkably, the import feature is visible but unsupported, but the roll editor won't work well enough to reenter them. The web-based editor is also gone. It didn't work well, but it was better than the integrated editor. In short, I paid more money for less app this time around, when all I wanted was a 64-bit build of Dicenomicon that would work with iOS 11.

Title says it all. If you’re doing a basic D&D type game, it will work. But I play Hero System, which is a d6 System. The old version of this app (The Dicenomicon) had a dice set for Hero System and I could easily create various custom dice rolls. It also had a variable dice roll where I could just enter the number of dice to roll (13) and press the roll button and off I go. In this version, all the above is gone. I finally, after several hours, figured out how to create a single custom roll for Body, but can’t get the second half of the roll, the Stun. I’ve tried to email the developer, and tried to get posting permissions on his support forum, but nope. No reply. Nothing. The support for creating the needed logic to create my rolls is non-existent as well. As such, I can’t give this app a decent review since it won’t do what I need and since I had to buy the app in order to find out he removed the portion I use. If the developer would contact me and help me out, I’d be happy to update this review, but right now I paid for a useless app.

The only app I was dreading losing in the upgrade to iOS 11 was Dicenomicon so when I finally got around to seeing if there was a new version I was over the moon to find there was and it's current. I've only played with it a few minutes but all the old features are there. I know it's not the prettiest dice app but it's customized graphics options are fine and it's by far the best dice app for iOS by far.
