I just wrote my own. Not as clean looking, but does everything I need and works on a normal laptop :)

Either way is better than dice with my players… who all toss their dice right through the battlefield. They do it for Bloodbowl, WHF, WH40k, etc… which gets annoying to have to keep fixing the map after each roll.

They really should add a Totalling function to the app. I hate having to manually re-roll dice when only 1 symbol is canceled from a multi-symboled face (example: Boost die showing ADVANTAGE symbol, Difficulty die showing FAILURE/THREAT symbols).

There is no way for the app to remove the "canceled-out" THREAT symbol (in this example)  other than to select the die and randomly re-roll it until the desired face appears. It can get quite tedious and downright annoying after a while IMO. Having a way to tally the result or change a die face (after rolling) would really be great.

Is scanning the dice and determining the net outcome that difficult??   I or my group hasn't had any problems being able to quickly look at the dice and cancel out things for the net sum.  If you're rerolling 1 die at a time to get the face you want, then wow…you're totally doing it wrong lol

Thank god you're not in charge of any decision making for FFG lol. So while you and your elite group of RP champions revel in the scent of your own excreted smugness, the rest of us peasants will continue to try and introduce the Beginner Game and its dice pool concept to new players who've never seen it before and may not initially grasp the concept as quickly and thoroughly as you obviously have. Luckily for the rest of us, your opinion is not the prevailing wisdom of the majority of dice app users, as is seen in its main thread. If you're happy spending 5 bucks what many consider an under-featured app, that's your prerogative. However, I am not alone in wanting the app to be able to total the dice pool results for faster gameplay.

It's a little hard not to be able to explain the cancelation process of the dice pool to noob players without being able to show what the final results will look like once the pool has been tallied. Congratulations, you're the king of the internet.

Success's and failure cancel each other out 1 for 1 (show them the symbols), advantages and threats cancel each other out as well (show them the symbols).  If there are any of either symbol left over after any cancelling out, that is the result.  For instance, 3 success and 2 failure leaves you with 1 net success.  

…nope, wasn't that hard.  People I know seem to get it pretty quick.

I was simply saying you're making an aweful lot of work for yourself trying to flip dice to what you want one at a time rather than simply explaining it to them and showing them the symbols.  The fact you went all douchy about it right out of the box says more about you than me…. I guess my "elite group of champions" simply grasp basic math up to the number 5 better than yours.  Cool, I'm not only good at simple subtraction but I also win the internet! 

Keep doin it your way…no wonder your players are confused.
