Exactly what I was looking for! I made lists of my hobbies to randomly pick when I'm bored and can't decide what to do -- the only thing that could make it better would be a widget, so I could have a shortcut to just tap a list and have it randomly select a value without having to go through the app, I would definitely buy it for that feature! 😁

I've been using this app for years at this point, 3 or 4 at least. I use it to help pick restaurants for regular dinners or special occasions (two different lists) as well as to help pick which story I should work on (indicated by working title list or by character list). I've never had any significant difficulties with the program and the back up list process helped me move from my old phone to a new one. This has been an extremely valuable tool to myself and my partner. I am glad to have it.

Love it . Easy to use. I play a game, our coop of 30 We compete each week. For everyone who raced and reached our point goal, I'll draw names to give a daily gift balloon. I especially live the cross import, i use a main list to keep updated and import to current week. I've used this app weekly for about a year now.. I haven't had any issues. Final nite the $.99 cents upgrade is well worth it. I recommend it it for anyone needing to randomly pick something from list.
