What About the Mobile App?

The Roll20 mobile app has been delisted from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. If you currently have the app installed, it will continue to function, but you won't be able to redownload it if deleted.

We recommend switching to the mobile browser experience, which offers:

  • More features and game system support
  • Faster updates and improvements
  • The same character data and progress

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will my character data transfer from the app?
A: Yes! Your character data is stored in your Roll20 account and is accessible through the mobile browser at roll20.net/characters 

Q: Can I play in VTT games from my mobile device?
A: Yes! Link your character sheet to an active VTT game through Roll20 Characters, and you can make rolls directly into the game chat from your phone or tablet. You won't see maps or move tokens on mobile, but you can fully participate in gameplay. For the complete VTT experience with maps and tokens, use a desktop or laptop.

A: Roll20 works on most modern mobile browsers on iOS and Android devices, though we recommend Chrome for the most reliable experience.

A: Yes! The D&D 5E character sheet and many other sheets support full editing on mobile devices.

A: No. Roll20 is free to use on mobile browsers with no limitations. Having a Roll20 subscription does also provide you with a free Demiplane subscription, allowing you to make unlimited characters on any sheet on Demiplane.com as well, where there are additional character sheets optimized for phone.
