For my game on Saturday i ended up summoning 4 things each with multiple attacks without including my personal actions each turn i was rolling 9x attacks and then if any hit there were several d6s to roll for damage. One turn i had to roll 25+ dice which took forever, then my personal actions occured and had to roll several more dice.
A guy at the table tried to help with an iOS app that lets you was basically make a macro for rolling dice but i only have android electronics. If anyone knows of anything let me know please?
Also if you have a more mundane way to make it more efficient i would be willing to listen.
You can set up =randbetween(1,x) where x is the size of the dice on spreadsheets. You can even have the x be a different cell than the formula so that you can change the dice on the fly. Copy the formula, and now you have 3, 4, or however many d6s, d10s, or whatever you need for the various rolls. It's not as satisfying as rolling all the dice, but barring having enough dice to roll, is as efficient as anything else. If that doesn't fit your needs, you can search for a dice roller in the play store or wherever you get your apps.

Or you could roll each attack individually and roll the damage at same time:
ex-
summon A attack 1. Roll the d20 and the d6s
if it hits good. If not. Re-roll that same thing again. Repeat for every single summon attack that is the same dice.
if there is a crit. Roll the crit separate into it then remove the dice.
then, same thing for your personal attack. Roll your 20 and damage die at same time.
its easier than rolling and labeling out 9 d20s (or more if advantage/disadvantage) and then rolling the minimum 9 different damage dies all at once.
the app. I can’t see being that much quicker, cause then the DM has to verify the rolls of the app, the parameters, etc.

There are tons of dice roller websites that don't care what kind of device you use. Try googling for some. I use rolz.org.
For android my friends use:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccp.rpgsimpledice
It has all the dice types, lets you "roll" multiple at once, and you can add your modifier. It also gives a summary of what each "dice" rolled.
