| − | '''Roll20 for iPad''' and '''Roll20 for Android''' are free-to-use mobile tablet applications focused on player-specific portions of Roll20. The simplest summary of what these applications are aimed to do would be "things you hold in your hand" at an in-person gaming table. That includes: digital dice, character sheets, handouts, and rules (compendium). To tie these features together, there is also access to Roll20's text chat features. Not included in the applications are tokens, maps, voice chat, video chat, and other tabletop functionality. ''Roll20 for iPad'' and ''Roll20 for Android'' are usable both at a physical table and with the Roll20 virtual tabletop.

The Game Master of the session will need to go to the [[My_Settings|My_Settings]] tab of the web version of a Roll20 game-- there they can click a button to launch a pop-up window with a unique QR code. Players of the game can then click "Join Game" from the game screen, and select to scan for such a code.
