AppSafari:
"...The graphics are amazing. It’s all clean, clear, and in 3D.
...It’s clear that a lot of attention was paid to the aesthetic of this game. There are tons of dice game apps out there, I lost count at 20 in the iTunes store, and Mark Hessburg figured out a good way to set Newton’s Dice apart from the bunch."

Pros and cons of Newton's Dice 3D app for iPhone and iPad
Newton's Dice 3D app good for
Great dice game! The graphics are fantastic looks very good. Physics are amazing! Also great sounds. This is a must get for any fan of dice games or newcomers. Very polished. Comes with two game modes 10,000 and shut the box both very fun games and you can pass and play with up to 5 people. So your friends can join in the fun. Highly recommended Great game for a Great value!!!
Great graphics and sound. Included games are fun, but I bought it to play Yahtzee with my family on the boat/ in the car. Works perfectly for that.
Hope future version has other dice types (like 10- and 20- sided, etc.) -- would be great for Check Six!
Wasnt familiar with the game "10,000". Started playing. Next thing I knew, over an hour had passed:) VERY fun.
Excellent graphics and physics. Lots of attention to detail. Would recommend.
@David0296 I think you totally missed how selecting the dice works? You always get this extra row of dice on top of the screen. It shows you the result of your last roll, you can select and deselect dice by touching the dice in this row. I cant imagine how to do this any faster. You always get cool on top perspectives of the dice in both games. The klackers box in shut the box is just awesome! I have never seen details like this in any other dice game before. Hands down this is the best dice game for iPhone.
The beauty of a game like "Newtons Dice 3D" is a unique combination of game-play at its simplest, "Lady Luck" at her shrewdest and production values at their highest. What is more simpler than to roll dice? Ah, but on the iPhone/iTouch , this could be a rather daunting task given the number of dice games over the years that have miserably failed at capturing the spatial and physical dynamics inherent with the roll of a die. Thankfully, Newtons Dice 3D breaks new ground in the dice-play genre by producing an environment with beautifully rendered graphics, smooth animation, vibrantly-crisp audio and flat-out fun game-play. The screenshots alone dont fully capture the acute attention to detail in the artwork. The audible cues are perfect from the sharply-wooden dice clashing against each other in the hollow of a cup, to the muted sounds of die gently falling and softly rolling onto a velvety carpet. Additionally, one of the highlights of the game are the unique camera angles that pan horizontally and vertically to accentuate a sense of motion that is both constant and fluid rather than sticky and pedestrian. Some of the camera angles caught as the "camera" ranges across the board are reminiscent of a game-cam following the action during a Monday Night Football game.
Im glad that the developer dedicated so much time and effort to making sure that all the pieces were in place before releasing this app to the public. They say that "the devil is in the details" but there is nothing to worry about as this is a well-thought out, sophisticated app that will entertain people of all ages for years to come. I look forward to more dice-related games being added to future builds!
The graphics, sounds, 3d and physics are just amazing. Definitely worth the price !
Some bad moments
The graphics & sounds for the rolling dice and tabletop are excellent, but please--why is it spinning?! Making me dizzy while trying to look at dice. Very distracting. Also, Id prefer not having to actually shake my phone to roll the dice. In playing 10,000, having to go back & forth from two screens to shake the dice for one turn is annoying and slows down the play. This App doesnt have as many changeable options for enthusiasts of both games, but is still adequate for playing. I would give this App 4 stars if the spinning table and method of rolling dice were revised, or at least the option of changing these features.
