Roll20 for iPad and Android v1.5.0 Released

We've just pushed out v1.5.0 for both iOS and Android. The primary change in this release is to add support for character sheets that utilize Sheet Workers, including the Pathfinder sheet and the new 5th Edition OGL by Roll20.  It should show up on the Android store in a few hours, we have to wait until Apple approves for iOS, so it may be a few days there. Enjoy!

Scott R. said: Existing games using the older Community Contributed character sheet cause the app to hang when you join the game. I don't know about the Shaped character sheet, but I'd bet it does the same thing. The existing games will all require the character sheets to be recreated. They also don't convert properly, requiring players to reenter a lot of data like inventory, weapons attack/damage, race and class abilities, etc. Hmmm...it shouldn't be hanging just because you are using a non-Sheet Worker sheet. I will take a look.  The re-entering data thing isn't really related to the app itself, it's the same for the desktop version.

I just tested a game with the 5E Sheet (Community Contributed) and it loaded up fine for me...is this a game that was previously working fine for you in the app and just stopped working in the new version? When you say it hangs, can you be more specific -- is it just not getting past the black loading screen, or...? Also if you want to give me a link to the game you are testing I will make a copy of it and see if I can reproduce the behavior.

I figured out the problem. It had to do with the Jukebox. I submitted a new version (1.5.1) which should be available for Android in a few hours and fix the issue.

Version 1.5.3 has been released which should fix a lingering bug with the screen not loading fully. Josh B said: How do you clear the 3D dice from the screen after you roll? Yeah I noticed this the other day. For some reason it's not responding to touch input to clear the dice. I'll take a look at that here in a sec.

Craig K. said: The Anroid version of the app is outdated on the Google Play store. According to the app details, it works on Android version 4.4 while my phone currently is on Android version 5.1. Could someone address this please? I would really like to have the app, but the system requirements aren't compatible. If you're using a phone the issue is likely your device not your OS version. The app will only work with tablets (not phones, even if it's a large phone). I believe it has to be a minimum size of 6".

Paco S. said: I have a proble accessing a game from my IPAD Tablet. The app freezes while loading. Is this a problem of the version of the OS? Is there any parameters that need to be configured in the game? What game is this happening with?

I wasn't aware there was an issue with the app currently. Can you give me a link to the game you are specifically trying to load that it's hanging on and I'll take a look? To be clear, having a Pro or Plus subscription is not needed at all to use the iPad and Android apps, and it doesn't affect it at all. So if you specifically bought a Pro subscription for that feature, email us at <a href="mailto:team@roll20.net" rel="nofollow">team@roll20.net</a> and we'd be more than happy to offer you a refund.&nbsp; You do need a Plus or Pro subscription to use the "full table on tablet" feature, which as MagichandsOlly pointed out you access by pulling up the site in the mobile browser on your tablet (e.g. Chrome on iOS or Android), but that is the full Roll20 tabletop, not just the stuff that's in the Roll20 for iPad and Android app.

Okay actually I think I tracked down the issue. I'm pushing v1.7.0 now which should solve the hanging problem. It should be on Android here in a few hours and on iOS in the next few days depending on how long it takes them to approve it. Thanks!

Harley P. said: I'm still getting the same issue, and I can confirm I'm on 1.7.0. Hmmm, I don't think that's the same issue, the issue I was fixing was that it would never get past the Loading screen. When you tap on the buttons along the bottom to switch to Chat, Compendium, etc., nothing happens? Likewise when you tap on the menu button in the top-left corner (the one with the 3 bars), nothing happens? What version of Android are you running?

jesse s. said: I have the same issue as Riley P. Shouldn't we be seeing the map somewhere in the app? My assumption was as a Plus user that my players could see the map on their tablets or at the least I could have a spare tablet logged into my account in the app to see the map while I was DMing from my laptop. Jesse, If you want to use the full tabletop (including the map), you want to use the "Table on Tablet" feature. You can read about that here:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll20_Table_on_Tablet_Sup" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll20_Table_on_Tablet_Sup</a>... But basically, instead of using the "Roll20 for Android" app, just load up Chrome on your tablet, go to <a href="https://app.roll20.net" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net</a>, login, and join the game just like you're on desktop. If you're a Plus user (or your players are Free users but they're joining your game), then it will work and you'll have the full map available to you. So there are two different things. The Roll20 for iPad and Roll20 for Android apps only have the Journal (character sheets, handouts, etc.), Chat, and dice rolling. But they're available to everyone for free for any game. The idea being that you can use the app as a great in-person tool to manage your Character Sheet. The Table on Tablet support is only for Plus and Pro subscribers (and their players), and that's the full Roll20 experience, including the map, but you get to that just via a mobile browser, no app required. Hope that helps clear it up!

Has it been approved or is it just not available for iPhones?&nbsp; Kyle -- It's only available for iPad at this time. We've talked about making an iPhone specific app that would just have the text chat feature and some simple dice rolling, but we don't have any specific plans for a release date or anything at this time. Thanks!
