Roll20 Companion App Is In Open Beta for All Users!

This is excellent.  Looking forward to this.   If it can be used in tandem with being logged in on a computer it would solve quite a few issues.

The old "forever loading" issue with non-D&D5E campaigns is gone for me too, great update!

FIG-LX1 - Android SDK28 Whichever character I choose from "Select your character" links through to an empty char sheet

So right now it's just characters, chat and rolls ? No VTT at this time? Edit: can now see that chat and rolls don't show up in app. I'm also getting "Can't handle token type InlineEnd" when trying to roll a basic attack. That error also appears in the VTT chat.

VTT is handled by Table on Tablet . The Roll20 Mobile App is not for that, just for interfacing with character sheets.

The app is ridiculously slow just switching tabs, and crashed 3 times trying to select characters. I can't even get a basic attack to show up in the VTT, just an error message.

Which character sheet are you using? I haven't run into an issue yet, but have not tested under gaming conditions.

Hi, one question about becomming a Beta: are there any obligations on getting a beta access to the App? I‘d like to Test the App, but I probably will use the App only once or twice per quarter and not using the full extend of functinality. So I think if the seats are too limited its not fair to block one if there are players more in need and able to give better Feedback. On the other Hand if you are desperatly looking for feedback even if it is only from a one-time session I‘ll be glad to provide Feedback. best regards Alpha

I have a problem with the mobile app that, when i try to do skill checks and attack rolls that require an item, it doesn't really work... It only sends an error:  

I'm not able to access my character even though my DM has given me sole access - I keep getting the 'You don't have access to any characters' message.  I can manipulate my character icon through the website version, but not the app, either on my tablet or my phone.  Any ideas?

Hey, this is getting pretty close to finished!

Keith just cursed this with a severe case of the UDLs!!!    :) finished is a strong word,  any sign of global attack modifiers,  global damage modifiers, global save modifiers, rolling Dis/Advantage Custom skills Skills with various Abilities in query also: Spells ... none selected show under the spells tab. but fireball and some show under the combat tab Lightning bolt shows under neither initiative does not add the roll to the init tracker .. either with or without the token selected on desktop

Public v whisper rolls - required to make selection everytime when You click to make a roll it now seems to require you to select public vrs whisper every time - which is a but annoying as you have to make 3 clicks to roll rather than just 1 given that 90% of rolls will be public, could it default to public rolls without you having to select public every time ?

It's a little more convoluted than that, depending on the desired setting. The default behavior needs to be set in the campaign settings. (some GMs prefer that the default be whispered). I have not verified mobile response to the procedures below, but here is my guide to setting whisper settings: Note that the whisper settings are attached to each individual sheet, there is no actual game setting. These instructions are for changing the defaults for all the character sheets in the game, then applying the settings to all existing sheets. Note that this will also change your PC sheets - you will have to manually change them to a different setting if one is preferred. Here are the ways to toggle this behavior: Always Whisper Go to the Campaign Settings Page Choose "Always Whisper Rolls" under "WHISPER ROLLS TO GM" in the Default Sheet Settings Save Load your game Go to the settings tab on the right and scroll to the bottom where you will find a button that says Apply Default Settings. Press it. Choose to update the Whisper settings. Wait a minute or two for it to resolve. There is a thin easy-to-miss progress bar. Never Whisper There's a bug in the game settings that doesn't recognize "Never Whisper Rolls", possibly because it is trying to write a blank value. The solution is to use Whisper Toggle. The default is public, so once this is set, all rolls should show. Go to the Campaign Settings Page Choose "Whisper Toggle" under "WHISPER ROLLS TO GM" in the Default Sheet Settings Save Load your game Go to the settings tab on the right and scroll to the bottom where you will find a button that says Apply Default Settings. Press it. Choose to update the Whisper settings. Wait a minute or two for it to resolve. There is a thin easy-to-miss progress bar. Query Whisper The default is public, so once this is set, all rolls should show by default unless you choose otherwise. Go to the Campaign Settings Page Choose "Query Whisper" under "WHISPER ROLLS TO GM" in the Default Sheet Settings Save Load your game Go to the settings tab on the right and scroll to the bottom where you will find a button that says Apply Default Settings. Press it. Choose to update the Whisper settings. Wait a minute or two for it to resolve. There is a thin easy-to-miss progress bar.    7. Have fun!

Great to see, I found the old one to be barely usable on iPad

Nicole B. said: Global attack and save modifiers should work as intended. If you're not seeing one of those, please submit a ticket with the campaign/character you're using so we can investigate what's going on there. Global damage modifiers are on our radar. I can't see the global attack or damage selections in the App ... BUT ... if I select them in my char sheet on the webpage .. the roller includes them in the calculation but there's no point using the app if I'm clicking the webpage already to select those options ..  tested BLESS and Sneak attack as modifiers. rolling Dis/Advantage This is also already in the app. :) found the toggle in the settings ... point to note ... you have the option on default as TOGGLE disadvantage but the app has no toggle,  so moving to QUERY .. brings the choice up per roll. Custom skills Skills with various Abilities in query Custom skills and queries like that should work -- as above, if you have a specific custom skill that isn't working, please submit a ticket so we can figure out exactly what's going wonky and fix that issue for you. If you're using iOS, we have a release coming very soon with a fix for a roll query bug specific to that platform, so you may be running into that bug (if you are, selecting another value in the query dialog and then selecting the default value again should fix it as a quick workaround). can't see a box for any other than standard skills ..  can't see anywhere to change a Skill check from say WIS to DEX ? Spells ... none selected show under the spells tab. but fireball and some show under the combat tab Lightning bolt shows under neither I'd have to see your character and campaign to troubleshoot this, especially with some more detail on what "selected" means in this context and what you expect the behavior to be. If you submit a ticket with more information on these issues though, we're happy to dive into them and figure out where the problem is Basically what I'm getting at here is that we're still actively working on this, don't worry, and we go through each and every ticket and forum post to identify bugs and iron them out. Thanks for giving us a shot :) character has several spells on character sheet ... but in app, none of them show under the SPELLS tab yet fireball appears (and works) under the COMBAT tab No worries on testing this out ... it'd be fun if it does the majority of stuff that the web page does.

Just checking this out. Seems pretty cool. Only question. Is there any use for this as a dm? All I can see currently is character sheets of npcs as I am the dm. Specifically looking to connect to voice and video as that would be awesome to run off my phone cus my mic is better and the video wouldnt be taking up space on my computer screen. Im guessing this isn't a thing yet but just curious if there is any use for this as a dm/gm? Also, mobile access to purchased compendiums would be great.

The "Tormenta"'s sistem sheets have a problem with the bonuses, this just shows the function instead the numeric bonus.

TORBOT said: The "Tormenta"'s sistem sheets have a problem with the bonuses, this just shows the function instead the numeric bonus. None of the sheet's with "Tormenta" in the name are optimized for mobile, and are all community sheets, so this isn't surprising. But looking at the code for Tormenta 20 sheet you screenshotted, I'd say the issue it that mobile doesn't seem to work with old sheets that have auto-calc sections, among things. So seems that at the very least, old sheets using auto-calc needs to be refactored to use sheetworkers instead.
