''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.

After logging in, you will see the "Choose Campaigns" screen which shows campaigns you are already a part of that you are able to join. If you are playing in-person, you may want to join a game that you haven't previously been a part of, which can most easily be done via QR code. The Game Master of the session will need to go to the [[My_Settings|My_Settings]] tab of the web version of a Roll20 campaign-- 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 campaign screen, and select to scan for such a code.

Roll20 for iPad and Roll20 for Android take advantage of the Roll20 [[Compendium]], [[Journal]] entries, [[Text Chat]], [[How to Roll Dice|Dice Rolling]] (including [[3D Dice]]), and [[Character Sheets]]. The Settings tab of Roll20 for Android and Roll20 for iPad allows you to "Change Campaign", and also toggle 3D Dice and Chat Avatars.
