InstaDice

Even though not exactly like instasoup or lemonade, InstaDice is an application that might come in handy if you're a hard-core board gamer. It doesn't mean it won't be useful to other users, either.

This application, just like the name suggests, is a program that will give you various types of dice to use for whatever game or fate-deciding situations you might need these for. The game-changer here is that the program goes beyond the word die, reaching further for similar objects too; coins, cards, etc.

Although there really isn't a window or interface to be dealt with here, it is fair to assume that the dock-like menu, filled with drawings of various types of dice, is as close as you will get to an app command center. It's a neat idea, although having it stuck to the bottom of your screen by design can be a nuisance.

While the idea of using drawn representations of each type of die is not that bad, the drawing quality and cropping are. The idea and execution are solid. It is details that seem to be the main issue with this program. Unfortunately, for some, this problem might be enough to make them turn away from InstaDice.

If you want to play with your friends different games, requiring different-sided dice, that should be no problem when using this program. Why? Because switching from one another is a matter of seconds. You can even theoretically play more games using different dice if you can manage to do that.

The app will display a result, according to the number of die sides, over the selected object. You can even flip coins if you want. Cards are also present here if you need some different way of randomly selecting somebody for a specific task.

InstaDice is a neat application that seems to fall short only because it is a tad sloppy when it comes to details. The concept itself is indeed pretty cool, and that is the case for the general execution of the app, as well. In the end, this app manages to live up to its set goal, providing you with random results for use in board games or similar endeavors.
