### 5/5 — My first choice

*2025-02-22*

My go to app for selecting start player.  Does what it is meant to do quickly, which is what I want.  I mean, it’s right there in the name…

### 5/5 — App will not make complex life choices for you!

*2015-01-20*

This app is very good at one thing - choosing a starting player order quickly. It will not help you win the game, nor cook you a delicious dinner. But if you want an lean app that can choose the starting player without the need to divulge your age, number of countries you've visited, or any other personal secrets to be ruthlessly compared against your fellow gamers, look no further!

### 5/5 — I LOVE this app!

*2015-01-19*

This app is the best. It is the quickest… no spinning things… no making everyone touch the screen before choosing…. just open it, and you already know who goes first. I recommend this app to all my board game friends. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Fast and Reliable

*2015-01-09*

This is a quick, no-fuss app that does exactly what it’s meant to. The screen is clean and easy to read.

### 5/5 — Best First Player Selection App

*2014-04-22*

I really like this app. I use it every time I game. It's much easier to see than the usual spinner-style first player apps, the speed to get my first player is next to nothing and the symbology is very clear. Great addition to any table top gamer's bag!

### 5/5 — Simple, Elegant and Effective

*2014-04-22*

Couldn't be simpler to use. So much easier to determine the start player versus the traditional spinner app. No brainer purchase if you are an active gamer.

### 5/5 — Best Start Player App

*2014-04-06*

This is the best start player app I've used by far.  Everything on one screen; no need to select the number of players; provides both start player and player order if needed.  Super easy to use and I love having everything on one page.
