NOTE: I respond to user reviews (especially ones that I feel are unfairly low such as the recent ones about not including multiple weapons) on the Quick Roll web site's Blog page (link to the web site below).

SUMMARY
Whereas many popular dice rollers for the iPhone and iPod Touch focus on creating realistic dice simulation, Quick Roll takes a different approach. It focuses instead on making fast and accurate roll calculations through a clean, intuitive interface (with a satisfying dice rolling sound for each roll) and associating rolls with a clear label and a character.
This is the kind of roller you could use quickly, with minimal taps and searching, in an actual game. It will actually speed the game up rather than slowing it down. Sometimes this speed-up is drastic and relieves you of a lot of tedious and repetitive mental calculation so you can focus on the game rather than on roll calculations (as in the case of calculating multiple attacks).
In Quick Roll, a set of named dice roll + modifier combinations as well as full multiple attack roll (if desired) are associated with a specific character. Users can create as many characters as they want and organize them (and their dice rolls) using standard iPhone OS list operations. These character profiles could represent player characters, monsters, or even custom dice roll sets.
Quick Roll is compatible with many different RPG systems. As a bonus for characters from the d20 and Fudge systems, it also has an attack tab.
FEATURES

[Rolls]
- Neatly hides actual die rolls in History tab so you can focus on the total (with the exception of d20 rolls which are given in parentheses so you can quickly spot natural 20s or critical failures)

Looked very promising
Honestly this App looks the best but its so over priced for what it does its hard to like it. First off after buying this app i started fiddling with it. The "Attack" tab does not work at all. I cant enter any kind of attack bonus cause its says, and i quote, "Invalid Damage String". there is no tutorial on how to lay out anything or a quick reference on how to setup it up properly. I have setup the rolls BUT you have to set them up individually. if you want to setup a string like Attack 1 and it has sneak attack you have to setup sneak attack seperately. if you use a weapon with weapon finese and one that doesnt you have to set each weapon up. it quickly makes for a very LONG list of things to look through. I was hopeing what i was buying was an electronic character sheet where you imput the values and they are automatically transfered to the places they are needed and you just fine tune any small details like class abilities bonuses or feat bonuses. for instance, if i had the feat Athletic which give a +2 to Climb and Swim checks i would have to manually imput that and my current rank where as the app would already have the knowledge that its a d20 + what ever ability mod is normally applied to that roll.
point im trying to make is that if this was 99 cents id be all for it as is. $2.99 is way too much for how little you actually get when compared to other apps of the same price.
Love it
This terrific app. Love how quick and easy it is to roll. Please, please upgrade thus for iPad.
Sweet!!!
There could be some touch up done and add some more combat slots.
