In Dice Shaker, an application designed to be used with the RISK® strategy game, you roll dice virtually making the game of Risk* more fun and go by much faster; there are much less arguments, and you can actually finish the game in a timely manner. Fun sound effects and animation included.

You may either shake your device or give it a jolt, as in real life, or simply tap the "Roll Dice" button to roll the dice. For more fun, you may also shake the device harder or tap it a few times, to result in several rolls at once. The app would give you the final result that would be the one to count.

Dice Shaker is a very realistic dice rolling app. There are visual effects, sound effects, and motion effects combined. You literally throw the dice to roll, there are sound effects of rolling dice, which makes it feel real, and there is an animation of the dice rolling.

The Dice Shaker App allows you to eliminate two red dice and one white die by simply tapping the right-hand dice.

The app calculates the result of the each roll and tells you how much reinforcement each side lost in the game.

Simple, easy, and fun to use, Dice Shaker is a must have app for any Risk* player.

Pros and cons of Dice Shaker app for iPhone and iPad

Dice Shaker app good for

It works… and serves its purpose. Good idea, maybe make it more aesthetically pleasing? Different modes? Nobody plays risk anymore, aged game. Needs a different mode and title. Nonetheless it serves its purpose
Amazing app. Must for any Risk player. A lot better than the normal Risk dice. First game I finished of Risk. I also like the animation and sound the dice make.
The brevity of the game was amazing. It made the game hours shorter. The graphics are great too.
This app made me want to play Risk a lot more because the game went from four hours to one hour.
The first Risk game I finished was with this. I also love when Im bored to just constantly shake the iPhone and see the dice roll.
No more searching all day for lost dice, instead they are a tap away

Some bad moments

2 stars for doing what it says, -3 for doing it poorly. The point of resorting to an app is to speed up game play, when we click roll, it should be instant, instead some people could play faster with real dice instead of this app. If it changes, Ill update the review, for now, just use real dice.
