Roll20 today released an App in the app-stores, called the Roll20 Companion App. Announcement: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10504439/roll20-companion-now-available-in-app-stores" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10504439/roll20-companion-now-available-in-app-stores</a> Our focus is increasing player features before we begin GM functionality. We’re planning on creating documentation for community creators to update their character sheets for mobile app usage, and compendiums are our next priority. Congrats to Roll20 on the public launch of this long term project. They have been working hard on this. Bug-hunting, maybe, or just Sheet not supported yet? 1. Dune sheet, "Do you want to replace this sheet with" Dune Adventures in the Imperium is a "By Roll20" created character sheet. I think it's not working yet. There is a pop-over that just says "Do you want to replace this sheet with", covering part of the character sheet. Buttons on the sheet to roll (such as Communicate Skill) don't seem to be tappable.&nbsp; See the left-panel of this 3x screenshot, look at the blank pop-over that says "Do you want to replace this sheet with". There's no buttons such as YES or NO nor a Dropdown, and besides the answer is No i don't want to replace the sheet, I want to use it.&nbsp; 2. Player Avatars expanding to their Roll20 name, in the app Players list beyond 15? 2nd question, very minor, the Players Names stop expanding after about 13 players.&nbsp; Beyond that it shows a football-shaped sliver of their avatar only, not their full avatar, and not their name. Please expand their full names, or at least show their full avatar so they can be recognized. Right now it looks like we're playing Hide-And-Seek and they are hidden half-way behind a tree, but I can see half of them peeking out. (Compare the right-hand 2 screenshots in the pic above)

Probably: Bug This game (DUNE adventures in the imperium, screenshot samples above) doesn't have 55 players, it has 39+1 GM.&nbsp; (40) The number 55 appears to be counting people who have dropped out, or been kicked.

The app supported only the official D&amp;D 5e character sheet during testing, so it probably doesn’t support the Dune character sheet properly yet.&nbsp;

Even so, Andrew, these questions still apply. If it's not supported, the message should say Not supported rather than Do You Want To Replace This Sheet With [] [] and so on. 40 players not 55. Player avatars display looks truncated. These aspects don't regard my Game System of choice. It's meant to inform Roll20 how it operated in my use-case environment.&nbsp; For what it's worth t he announcement from Roll20 doesn't say that only 5e is supported, and does say they're helping Community Creators to convert their sheets.&nbsp; The Dune sheet is not a Community Created, it's a sheet by Roll20. I decided to post this feedback to the app's Team, based on release-day experience and first impressions from my gaming group.
Thanks for trying out the app! Andrew is right, we don't support the Dune sheet yet -- we've done nothing to that sheet to help it work on mobile yet, including things like what's displayed when you open the sheet. We don't recommend opening or using unsupported sheets because weird things like that can happen when not everything fires as expected. Right now the only fully supported mobile sheet is D&amp;D 5e by Roll20, but new sheets are on the horizon. That player appearance/number is definitely a bug that I'll enter into our system. Thanks for finding it!

Ok, just 2 questions, Nicole,&nbsp; 1. When will DUNE sheet be supported? 2. Can your staff please include "Only 5E supported at this time" in the announcements? I've been down a Rabbit-hole testing and screenshotting this for Roll20's requested playtest of 2 days ago, after the Announcement thread asks for feedback and DOES NOT MENTION 5E at all: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10504439/roll20-companion-now-available-in-app-stores" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10504439/roll20-companion-now-available-in-app-stores</a> The announcement thread says you're helping Community Creators to convert their sheets. This would seem to imply that Roll20-Created sheets (such as DUNE) are already being converted. It says "Until recently the app was limited to Beta" and comes-across as an announcement that it's Out of Beta. Would it be better to market this up-front as a new feature for 5E Users, than to lead half of Roll20's users (who play other games) into what then looks like a broken app?

You're right, this should be in the announcement, I don't know how it didn't make it in there. Thanks for the shout-out, I've edited it accordingly. It is out of beta though!

Thank you very much. I will be watching for additional games (sheets) to be supported, or, ready-for-testing.
