### 5/5 — Love this app!!!!

*2025-10-02, version 2.4.1*

I use this to split my classes into table groups each day. This app is perfect for this! I love the fact it allows me to keep some students apart if needed. Will made a change that helped me display all groups in one screen. This is an excellent app.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2025-10-01, version 2.4.1*

Excellent tool! Does everything I need it to do. Would love for the picker option to be a bit more customisable so I can use it for cold calling ie. students’ names are not eliminated from the pool once picked. And would love yellow as a colour option for the class icons too

### 4/5 — Would be perfect with one addition

*2025-08-31*

Love everything but please add the option to the names of the groups.  My students work at the whiteboards and each is labeled with a color.  So, I would like red group, blue group, etc.

### 5/5 — Love this app!!!!

### 4/5 — Missing one important feature…

*2024-06-24, version 2.0.1*

Bulk importing student names! I have around 150 students, setting this up at the start of the school year is a huge time sink.

Apart from this, this app is excellent, thanks so much!

### 5/5 — Awesome app.

*2024-05-27*

Been using this app to create random teams for tournaments. Quick easy and simple to understand. Looks like it was designed for teachers creating random class room groups. Even then you can use it for other things like picking random teams.

### 5/5 — Mr Tait 6T

*2018-06-12, version 1.2*

Best app for selecting and grouping students in the App Store.

### 2/5 — Gender?

*2018-02-21, version 1.2*

So disappointed this app expects to label the gender of my students.
