So I love D&D Beyond, it's so helpful and convenient. I have a ton of characters on here for the game I DM and the several that I play in.
Love the digital dice, they're so much fun, and I've been using D&D Beyond on my Kindle for... like 2 years? I'm bad with time.
Anyway, almost since the Digital Dice were released they worked just dandy on my Kindle, and of course my computer.
Anyway, for the last month or so, whenever I try to use the Dice, the button I press goes grey, like it's working on it, but nothing else happens. This even occurs with the character creator, if I want to use the roll dice option. On my Kindle it just changes to the 'Rolling' message, and then does nothing. I try to hit it again, or another one, and it says it's rolling one now. I've let it sit there like 5 minutes and nothing ever happens so i don't think it's just lag.
I think I've got the Kindle cleaned up, but I'm more a general user, so maybe not...?
If anyone has ANY suggestions or ideas, I'd love to hear them. I miss the rolling when I'm away from home.... :(
But I think it's the App, because it's not in my browser. Does that make sense? Wait, I know it's the App, because it shows up when I look at Apps. I think it says it's up to date.
Let me check.
Okay, Yes, D&D Beyond is an App, and it says version 1.0.... but it doesn't give me any option to update it. Only Force Stop, Uninstall, Clear Data, or Clear Cache.
I've thought of Uninstalling it, and reinstalling it, but I only seem to have Google Playstore, and Amazon Appstore, neither of which shows it as something to download and I cannot remember how I downloaded it before. :(
And I don't know where to find what version the Kindle is. It's a Kindle Fire, but that's all I know. Okay I see the Kindle is running Fire OS5.6.8.0, and it last checked for updates today, so that should be good?
If anyone has any suggestions? I'm sorry I'm so stupid about this but I really appreciate any help from anyone!!
The current version of the D&D Beyond app is 2.0.2, so that's the first thing I'd check. You can get a link to it at https://www.dndbeyond.com/player-app

Thank you in advance for any help!
Is this in the app or browser? What version of the Fire is it, and what version of the app/browser?

Thank you.
I tried the link on my Kindle. It just tells me that I don't have anything it can be downloaded onto. :(
(Edit: That the Kindle is not a device it is compatible with)
Any more ideas from anyone?
If you're unable to access the Google Play Store then you'll be unable to use the currently supported version of the app.

Hello there Cosmiclad,
If memory (and the link Arenlor supplied) serves, the DDB app is not designed for Kindles. You will probably have to (re)sideload the newest version.
-- Arms are for hugging The Dandy Warhols --
Yeah, I'm afraid I don't remember how to go about that.
I'll have to see if some of my techy friends have any ideas.
Thank you for the advice and attempts to help!
