Apps for playing games with scattered group?

I had a student at my school ask me about roleplaying games the other day, and I lacked a good answer for one question. It seems they want a way to play classic tabletop RPGs on their phones, with text, while not together. Is there an app for that?

Most could just be a standard text app (don't ask me for names, I am ancient), so they can write to each other. But things like dice rolls are trickier. Is there a good app that is not directly shackled to one gaming system and allows stuff like the GM checking that dice rolls were not cheating and the like??
