Android app

Hello! Are mobile apps abandoned? Or there is hope they will be updated? Right now they have no support of any Character Sheets except old DnD (2014), and even there, spell support is messy, inventory management is absent and there is no voice chat support.

The Roll20 Mobile App has not been updated in years. Roll20 has not released any information on when or if they will update it again.

Personally, I think that R20 characters has probably supplanted the app. But note that that is just my personal feeling and is not based on any messaging from R20. R20 characters can be opened in any browser, mobile or desktop, and any sheets that are r20 characters enabled are at least minimally usable with it without any adjustments to code (except for some edge cases that are only used in some very advanced legacy sheets). As a sheet author, the problem with the R20 app was that there was pretty much no way to test character sheets to make sure that your styles and code would work in the app. Since R20 characters runs with the same processes as a normal r20 game, just on whatever screen the user happens to be using, the code needed for a mobile friendly character sheet on r20 characters is both easier to test (just resize the character sheet while writing the code), and much simpler to code (just basic css media queries for screen size). That of course doesn't mean that a lot of sheets have been set up for a mobile view on r20 characters, but even for those that haven't, they can be used by zooming in on the part of the sheet you are interested in and interacting with them that way.
The main functionality I need is to make everything work with Witual Tabletop. I spent almost two hours trying to make sound work throughout the website - and failed. Everything works great wia Discord, but it is banned in Turkey and some of my players are from there. So, the only suitable variant I found is using Zoom, Google Meet, or MS Teams for sharing my screen, and using mobile apps to transfere all the rolls directly to the chat, while my players can instantly see everything I add to their character sheets. However, there are some downsides, e.g. limited ability to roll the spells, etc.
