Dice 3D 7pixels

Beautiful app, it’s easy to use and lets you create all sorts of custom dice (with in-app purchase, which is totally worth it). Falls just short of 5 stars, only because the way to create and save the “setups” is really clunky and unintuitive. You save a setup by switching to another setup, which means that if you remove a die or add one just for a one-time roll, as soon as you switch setups for a different roll, the changes are saved and your original setup is now ruined. Very annoying when you’re playing a game and the GM gives you a bonus die for example just for this one roll. The setups should be saved only when you want them to be saved (an additional button on the setup drop down for example, alongside the “edit name” and “delete” buttons). Other than this design issue, I definitely recommend this app.

There are a few features I would like to see in future updates: 1. Sound effect settings. It’s weird that my custom raw wood background sound the same as a tabletop. Probably better with a butcher block option. Metallic sound for custom metal backgrounds. Muffled table for felted backgrounds, etc. Different sound effect settings would just be an awesome addition. 2. A manual light configuration. I don’t need the light to reposition constantly to see how cool my custom dice look. They have plenty of excellent movement to display their various faces. While the repositioning light source is a tidy effect, I’d like to shut it off when I’m playing on my own. 3. Slide setting for surface gloss in customizations. I love my tartan dice, but they’re actually too glossy with the graphics all the way up, but turning the graphics down doesn’t help unless I take them way down, and then the experience isn’t remotely equal. 4. Preset number configurations. If we could auto add faces from a selection of preset alfa-layered numerical styles, it would make customization way easier. Creating a numbered template takes a minimal level of skill, but to engrave and shadow pips, or numbers, or whatever, takes a bit more skill, and for the sake of universal ease of use, this would be a major bonus. I would give this app ten stars if it had these features. This has been an aesthetically priceless addition to my personal gaming experience. Bravo!

This looks like it would do everything I could ever want in a dice app. My problem is this app seems like it doesn’t want to take my money. If you have a die already open and you go to edit it, you cannot access the catalog of new or custom styles, only what you have already downloaded. It took me way too much time to figure out the only way was to add a new die, and then you had access to the “catalog” button. When I finally found that, went to the bottom and selected “create your own dice,” I was finally given the option to unlock premium. The next problem was when I clicked “unlock,” I got “Oops! Something went wrong. Purchasing unavailable.” Next, I tried to contact the developer through the website. There was a “contact us” section, but there was no “submit” button. I’m sorry to put in a three star review on what looks like is an awesome app that will perfectly meet my needs, but it looks like this might be my only way to provide feedback. Please provide a “upgrade to premium” button in the main menu or a free and a premium version in the App Store. (Now shut up and take my money!🙃)
