| 2024-10-29 |  | | 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! 😁 |
| 2024-07-08 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-03-12 |  | | 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. |
| 2023-06-04 |  | | As someone who is incredibly indecisive, this is a total life-changer. I had used a spin-the-wheel app for years, but it doesn't produce the results as randomly as I would like. It's only $0.99 to unlock the full version and to support the devs, and I think it's worth it considering the customization it adds. Something I would like to see in the future is the ability to favorite lists or pin lists to the top for ease of access. |
| 2023-05-22 |  | | Excellent app! It's so useful, and the only one that lets you add pictures, which is really nice! I mainly use it to pick characters to practice drawing, so it's nice to have a picture accompaning it. One thing I would add would be to mabe pick off a few lists at once? Say I had seperate lists for "characters" "mood" and "action". If I could pick one off of all three at once, that would be cool. Oh, also having the set picture transfer when merging/importing one list into another. |
| 2023-03-14 |  | | Love this app! It's great and easy to use! I'm a PE teacher and was able to load all my classes. I use it to call student for prizes, only thing I wish it did was give me the ability to add a student back to the list of they were absent when they were chosen. Other than that, this is one of the best apps on my phone! |
| 2022-08-30 |  | | Good for choosing items / names at random. As far as I can tell the amount of entries is unlimited. For the additional 99 cents you get the presentation mode among other features. You can add images to each entry, however they appear very small, and the overall presentation is a little boring. But it works nonetheless and I enjoy it more than spinner apps. |
| 2022-08-11 |  | | Does exactly what it says it does without any nonsense. I fed it a list with 150+ options and it didn't give me any trouble. Easy to find accidental duplicates on the list and fix them, or use duplicates to control probability. I'm using this to generate random options for TTRPGs, and it's perfectly suited for it. Only thing that would make it better is being able to choose from multiple lists at a time. Premium was reasonably priced and worth it, but the app is highly functional without it. |
| 2022-03-05 |  | | I mainly use this for choosing a game to play, but sometimes we might not be in the mood to play the chosen game or the time. You have an option to reselect another option(s), then if you are ok with the option you remove it from the list, but the name will be there when you reset the names chosen! AWESOME app! |
| 2021-08-09 |  | | I had a randomizer app on my old phone that I really loved. Can't find that one now. But this one is very good. It's a simple design. I like that it saves the lists. I do wish I could more quickly make choices one after another. Or that It didn't remove items chosen from the list. But these are minor complaints. This is the best randomizer I can find. It comes in handy. |
