Has anyone tried out the assault dice app?
Recently used this for a game. The scatter dice option is brilliant and worth it on its own because it displays an extended line across the screen for scatter. Had very disappointing results on it throughout the game though. Purely anecdotal but I think the app does not want me to win since I failed a lot of 2+ saves on it :(
Still gonna try it some more before I actually get annoyed enough to start testing probabilities with it.
For those of you who don't know its an officially licensed app available on play store and for iphone for simulating dice rolls. The idea is really good and the execution is pretty smart too but I still prefer to roll actual dice

Didn't really like the interface. Doesn't work well with my Samsung Edge because of the edges. Otherwise really good when the Ork horde is assaulting.

I like it on my iPhone, although I still use my physical dice for most games, and only really use it when my opponent has it too. It's great for quiet or tight games, when noise or space might be an issue. Haven't used it for tournaments, though.

I only like it for the scatter. The normal scatter dice is awful, with people moving half way across the table to see where things scatter, and in doing so turning a few degrees in their favour.

Star Trek taught me so much. Like, how you should accept people, whether they be black, white, Klingon or even female...

Thats exactly my feelings with a heated discussion on the exact line the scatter is pointing to which is hard to do if you roll the dice 2 feet from the actual event. I put my phone down on the table as close to the site and roll for scatter.
My feeling is that the d6 random number generator is not great. Either that or the dice gods are angry at me for using the app

That's why I just roll the scatter die right by where the scatter is happening.

Use it on my iPad so screen is large. Great when rolling like 40+ dice (e.g. Wavers or Ad Mech Vanguards). Instead of having to roll in batches manually.
