Dice Roll: Interactive Widget is more of a high-utility lifestyle app than a traditional game, and it excels in that specific niche. The brilliance of this app lies in its simplicity and integration. It allows you to place a fully functional, 3D physics-based die directly on your home screen or lock screen as a widget. It solves the eternal problem of needing a die for a board game or a quick 'coin flip' decision without having to hunt through your app drawer.
The physics are surprisingly tactile; shaking your phone or tapping the widget triggers a satisfying, realistic roll with crisp sound effects. The customization options are extensive, allowing you to choose between D6, D20, and custom-colored dice. While it’s not something you’ll play for hours, it’s an incredibly well-designed tool that adds a touch of interactive fun and utility to your iPhone’s interface. It’s a masterclass in how to use iOS widget technology effectively.

Dice Roll lets you roll dice right on the Home Screen using the new Interactive Widgets.
Customize the foreground and background color; the option to display a border, an animation, or text instead of the dice symbols; and also change the text font and font weight.
The widgets are also available and are interactive on the Lock Screen, and also in StandBy mode.
The app contains 3 unique widgets:
- Random 6-sided dice
- Random X-sided dice (choose a dice up to 1000)
- Dice Guess (a fun mini game)
If you have any questions or feedback, I'm all ears. Dice Roll was created by an individual in his free time, and I’d love to know what you think. I’m available through Twitter @elohohel & Mastodon @elohohel@mastodon.social.

Enable 'Shake to Roll' in the app settings. This allows you to roll the dice just by shaking your phone, even if the app is only open as a small widget, providing a more tactile and fun experience during game night.
The widget is optimized for iOS power management and only consumes battery during the brief moment you are actively rolling the dice.
