Roll20 Announcements Panel Wrap-Up Roll20 Blog, Oct. 24th:

"And, of course, we showed off some of the in-progress work on Roll20 Mobile, an upcoming companion app for Android and iPhone from Roll20. We’re currently working on Character Sheet integration and mobile dice rolls that go straight from the app to the VTT. We’re in the internal testing stages, with a closed beta coming soon and a more open beta after that. We’re very excited about the future of Roll20 Mobile, and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve cooked up. We’ll have more news on it soon."

Features

The Mobile app Beta will launch with an focus on streamlining gameplay for D&D 5E, with a mobile-adapted-character sheet, and the ability to make rolls directly to the game.

In early 2020, on one of the Community Roundtables(Jan, Feb or March?) it was first mentioned by Roll20 that they where working on a new mobile app, but at the time described features that where intended for the first release, were considerably different from what was announced During Roll20Con 2020.

The development of the app was de-prioritized in favour of focusing on general infrastructure and stability upgrades, when the massive increase of users started due to the pandemic.

Beta

The first Closed Beta testers got access to the app in Late December 2020/Early January 2021. Participants where required to sign a NDA.

Old Mobile App

Roll20 had an previous mobile app (Android/iOS) that had a mixed track record, which was discontinued and removed from the app stores during the Spring 2020.
