At the diner we discussed the idea of using the official roll-and-keep system but using phone apps to speed play by rolling everything quickly and doing the math for the players who hate doing math. To that end, here are the resources I've been able to find:
Websites
There are a number of websites with R&K programs up. I don't know how viable it is to run these from one's phone (I still have a flip phone) but give them a shot:
Kaze Shiro v. 2: This is probably the best of the websites. It's efficient and easy to use, at least online.
Kaze Shiro v. 1: The older version of Kaze Shiro. Basically the same thing but a text-based interface (rather than drop downs or buttons). Set up much more for 3e.
Programs
Source Forge Program: Decent program that can be run offline. Not the most flexible (no support for emphases) and I don't know if it can be run from a phone.
Kitterman App: There's some code here. I have no idea if it works or not.
L5r Dice Roller App: Free app that looks promising. Someone check it out and let us know if it works. Reviews are that it's functional but needs improvement (specifically it needs support for emphases and for die pools over 10). Appears in a lot of places online.
L5R Toolbox: Google Play app that can roll dice (though suffers from some limitations; see reviews). Can also track health and give probabilities.
