Development History

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

The development of the app was de-prioritized in favor of focusing on general infrastructure and stability upgrades, when the massive increase of users started due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During Roll20Con 2021, a teaser trailer for the app was released, along with a blogpost Oct. 24th^{(Blog, Archived)}:

"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."

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

On Jan 28th, Roll20 tweeted about the Closed Beta being underway, and that the Open Beta would be available "soon". ^tweet

In March 2021, the Beta became available to all Pro users.^{forum post} Same month Roll20 also released the Character Sheet Enhancement-update, which made it possible for all sheet creators to more easily make their own sheets mobile-friendly. In October 2021, the Beta was made available to all users.^[2]
