Roll20 Characters on Mobile Browsers - Feedback Thread

Hi all! As announced today, we're going all-in on mobile browser for Roll20 , focused particularly on Roll20 Characters. This thread is your direct line to the product team. We're reading everything and using it to shape what we build next. Currently we're deep in perfecting the new D&D sheet on phones and tablets, and we're committed to improving the overall mobile browser character management experience. What we want to hear: How do you plan to use it? As a GM? As a player? Offline play at the physical table? Hybrid campaigns that jump between physical and VTT? Playing on the VTT but managing your characters on your separate device? We’d love to hear your unique use cases! What's missing? Are there dream features you actually need? What's broken? We know there's a lot to be done here, but we still want to hear your biggest pain points to help us prioritize. Please be specific, as in "my Level 12 Wizard takes over 20 seconds to load on iPad chrome" gives us something we can fix.  What's working? Tell us what you already enjoy so we know what to protect. Drop your feedback below. Thanks for helping us get this right!
Overall looking good, but two current issues on iPhone16. The Defenses and Senses boxes overlap. Also if I click Abilities to move to a different section the screen just goes all blurry.

Major issues like this are ticketed and on track to be functional on phones over the next 4 weeks. Phone responsive updates are launching every few days at current, so you'll be seeing things improve in real time!

Just had a Chrome update on the phone and issue one seems to be resolved (not sure if correlation or causation.) Still blurry screen when clicking Abilities though… Edit: Also not sure if relevant to this thread, but if I link a Demiplane PF character to Characters it then opens a Read-Only version…

Code was just pushed this morning. Also, please check clicking on Abilities again. That was fixed too (and is working for me now on both phone and tablet)! Thanks for the PF info, will look into
Can confirm clicking Abillities now works as intended. Thanks!

I plan on using as a 5e 2024 player, offline at a live table, ( on a cruise ship ).
is this strictly for 5e (2024), or is it system agnostic?

Dalton said: is this strictly for 5e (2024), or is it system agnostic? So we're doing heavy development on the D&D 2024 sheet as our flagship. However, Roll20 characters upgrades will be for everyone. Most of the sheets there work well on tablet. Demiplane sheets work well on phone already, and Demiplane subscription is provided for free with your Roll20 subscription. Our goal is to support as many systems as possible on Roll20 characters, on as many devices as possible. What systems in particular are you looking for? 
My group tends to jump sysyems a lot but we keep coming back to savage worlds and fate accelerated.

This is a dream: I would love to see a custom UI layer, it doesn't even need to replace the UI layer of the default ui. It would sit under that, but still track with the user POV or user camera. That would allow me to build a boarder around the screen for a GM this would let me bed in npc character sheets token actions, Attributes. And for the players, they would get a thematic screen border with similar features for their own character. I imagine it like an RTS or MMO ui overlay, or in this case underlay. As I imagine it sitting under the default UI of roll20. edit:  Just to rain on my own dream:  Of course it might be impossible to scale correctly to the vast variety of screen sizes, so perhaps a GM only feature as I would build the ui to fit my screen.  edit: I just remembered, it could be implemented similarly to how token actions and the macro bar currently appear. They could be on the same layer or the ui layer could be under the macro bar and token actions bar. But thats where I'd put it. And those bars already have rudimentary screen scaling by wrapping the buttons around to a newline on narrow screens.  Its a dream for sure. 
For me, this is handy as, when building a character or just plotting things out, I do tend to look up my character on my phone.  I use D&D 2024 and Pathfinder 1e.  And, thanks to the session today that you live streamed for people to watch and provide feedbacks in live, I learned the trick on how to access other sections on the D&D 2024 sheet.  Which made it WAY more accessible than it was!
When I click a macro from a popout page, it would be nice if any prompt lines would appear on the popout page rather than having to navigate back and forth between the popout and the main page to enter prompt values. I can use token actions bar to circumvent this already, but worth mentioning.
Would like for 3d dice on the VTT to show when rolled from Characters. I know it shows in chat but my lizard brain players like dice.

So as a sheet author whose sheet 90% works in characters... how do I test to fix the last few issues that are popping up?
I am a little confused on the features currently available. Clicking the link in the most recent email brought me to my list of characters, but it looks like it’s pulling from the default name from original creation.  When I tapped it at first it brought me to the game lobby screen so then I tapped on the character and it loaded with the correct name and a truncated version of the character sheet, but could not find features, spells, actions. I went into the game and attempted to load the character sheet from there and it failed. I assume this is just a result of it not being finished and in testing stages. iPhone 12 Pro Max iOS 26.3 Chrome iOS  Version:  145.0.7632.108
