MotionX Dice lets you roll dem bones on your iPhone

No d20, d10, et cetera?

So... It's one of those damn GURPS proselytizers, then.


(I kid because I love. GURPS is the System of Choice for both the Spouse and I...)

The sounds, animation, and feel of this App are simply amazing.

This will make it so much easier to play Yatzee on the road. I may even pull it out to play Backgammon and Monopoly.

"are of the d8, d10, and d20 variety. Any chance we can get a few of those added into the dice-rolling mix?"

A no muss, no fuss polyhedral die roller.

I wrote it because the other iPhone die rollers were really annoying to use in a game. Animations, sounds, etc. are all gimmicky when you're a GM looking for a utility. So I made one with a clean interface to easily set and roll the dice without interruption. Might not be for everyone as I know some like to shake their iPhones and stuff, but for me, the digital equivalent should be a useful tool, not a replica of the analog component. If I want to pick out, shake, and see and hear the dice, I'll just roll real dice. :P

When I need to make a secret roll away from the players? Or have a bunch of NPCs to roll stats for? DieRoller.

My kids love this app almost as much as DizzyBee.

Keep in mind that "algorithm" and "randomness" are mutually exclusive. The only way to get random rolls of the dice are to have dice in your hand and roll them.

Strangely, the developer's site has a picture of polyhedral dice, so I downloaded this app thinking I could select what type of dice I want. Perhaps in the paid version? This free version is very nice looking, so this is not a complaint. But we iPod Touch users going to GenCon this weekend could definitely have used it! :)

MotionX Poker was the first App I bought for my iPhone and I love it.
Those of you who have it may not have noticed something. If you rotate the iPhone sideways the screen doesn't seem to do anything but notice the shadows of the dice. They move as you turn the phone.
These little details and the impressive graphics are what sold me. Plus it's just so darned fun to play.

The animation and ability to shake the iphone/touch before rolling the dice AND being free makes this a winner in my book! Warhammer and other table-top games often involve a LOT of D6s so this is awesome for me :D

MotionX Poker is one of the best time killers I've found for the iPhone. Everyone I show it to goes eyes-wide when they see it for the first time and have a blast rolling the dice and drooling over the life-like graphics.

I'll cut them some slack on the free-for-now but we'll raise the price later; they've proven themselves with a killer app already.

That said, the whole iTunes rating, ranking and review system is TOTALLY broken and meaningless; it's not fair to anyone, customers or developers.

Where's the line on manipulating that stuff. One developer of an app I have updated the product and then sent everyone an email saying "we've fixed your bugs and added your suggestions, if you like the changes please go to the iTunes store and change your review." A legitimate request, but I'm sure many would accuse them of playing games with the rankings.
