### 4/5 — Perfect App, Just One Disappointment

*2016-06-09, version 1.1*

I love it, but the only letdown is that I wish choosing wouldn't stop background music. I want to be able to listen to my music while I choose something. Please either get rid of the scribble sound or make it compatible with background stuff.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2013-11-04, version 1.1*

Really useful, but improved UI will be greatly appreciated.

### 4/5 — Works well, easy, fun... But...

*2013-10-02, version 1.1*

This program actually does it's job and does it as advertised. I used it to help teach my daughter basic programming. I first made a list called "Battle Beasts" (based off the old Hasbro toys, which used Fire, Water, Wood). Once she was into it I showed how to add her own Element (showing her how input into directories). She found this very fun to do.

I use it to pick a food I want to eat on my day off, or to goof off as I use to play Table Top RPG's, and those used random roll tables all of the time (Palladium, I'm looking at you as the main offender :P ).

However, as great an App as this is, the Yates randomized tended to favor whatever was at the top of a list, and repeat rolls became a big issue.

Sad to say I can not give it a full 5/5 star rating, as it only does what it is intended to do 80% of the time, but it IS Cheap, is easy, and does have many applications.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE:
•Editing: The Easy ability to integrate lists (if you find one list being separate from another is a waste, but don't wish to spend an hour with copy-paste!

•List Sharing between others. It would be cool to Bump or E-Mail a list you made with others. It can take hours to make certain lists. If everyone wants that same list (makes a great game), it can become daunting.

•As in the above for 'List Sharing', but you can all have an immutable Locked out list, so no cheating.

•Sub-roll Categories: creating a roll chart is fun and all, but many times (like in invented Games or RPG's) you have a chance to get a roll demanding more rolls. Having build more roll tables, that you must then also roll on separately (going back and forth) gets tiresome.

Being able to roll on one chart with at least one sub-chart would be much coolness.

•Information Listed: you can write allot of information in a slot, but little shows up on the roll. It would be cool if it all did.

I would be willing to spend 5$ easy for this stuff to be added as a pro model, and would get the word out to help it sell.

4/5-Stars

### 3/5 — Ok...

*2013-08-16, version 1.1*

Not too amazing.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2013-08-03, version 1.1*

Only criticism is that you can't edit list titles once they're saved.

### 3/5 — Ehhh

*2013-06-17, version 1.1*

Ok, nice to use once. Nothing special, but it gets the job done. Lots of glitches.

### 4/5 — list import

*2012-08-30, version 1.1*

Love the idea behind this ap.  Would be great to use in my classroom!  is there a way to import my class lists?

### 3/5 — Too organized

*2012-07-15, version 1.1*

It's a good app, but it shouldn't be so organized. It won't repeat an item until all the others are named. So there's no two out of three. (three stars)

### 5/5 — Lebron wade

*2012-06-23, version 1.1*

It's awesome it helps me so much it should be in the top 25 free games

### 5/5 — Useful

*2012-06-22, version 1.1*

This app is great I use it to practice skateboarding tricks
You guys should add a feature (scale) that allows for some options to appear more than others.

### 4/5 — Very great app

*2012-06-21, version 1.1*

This is exactly what I was looking for! Problem is I don't know how to delete certain lists, if there's an update soon of that, that will be awesome.

### 5/5 — Nice randomizer!!!

*2012-04-15, version 1.1*

It does exactly what I want it to do.   Fine little application.   Thank you!

### 5/5 — Wonderful for karate!

*2012-03-07, version 1.1*

This is great for our karate class. I use it to randomly choose a group of moves to perform.

### 1/5 — Won’t work with iOS 11

*2017-10-05, version 1.1*

Please update the app so i can continue to use it. I am unable to even open it at the moment with iOS 11

### 1/5 — Not iOS 10 or 11 compatible

*2017-08-26, version 1.1*

I could not create new lists. Bummer....

### 1/5 — I choose random

*2012-10-02, version 1.1*

I chose random is so stupid don't buy it.

### 1/5 — Abosolute utter rubbish!

*2011-12-04, version 1.1*

I downloaded this app, and I was impressed at the installation and loading speed before I could open the app. So, after downloading, I tapped it, then it looked like it was going smoothly then it just took me back to my home screen!! Fix please!  this app would have potential, if it actually worked!

### 1/5 — Baddddddd

*2011-03-14, version 1.1*

I won't let me even play!!

### 2/5 — Ok

*2013-07-11, version 1.1*

It's ok It would be better if you could put in as many names and then shake and it chooses a name.

### 2/5 — Stupid

*2012-12-31, version 1.1*

It is stupid I tried to make a new thing to shuffle and it won't  shuffle it,RIP OFF

### 2/5 — It doesn't work?

*2011-01-13, version 1.0*

This is an app which does it's core program work! But when I tries making a list of my own to chose it wouldn't show up. Furthermore when I exited and re-entered it deleted any of my own categories! Don't download this app unless you want to use one of the chooses listed and not your chooses!! :/

### 3/5 — Best Random App (but....)

*2016-07-21, version 1.1*

This app is the best random app I've come across so far, but the layout needs a patch. The lists need to be centred. Currently the highlighted choice is hard to see, as its at the bottom. Also, the app's main screen isn't sitting at the top of the screen properly.

### 3/5 — Needs an update for ios8.1

*2014-11-12, version 1.1*

Update Nov 2014 this needs an update. The display has gone wrong on iOS 8.1 

This is a very good app. The only reason there are some poor ratings are due to user incompetence. I am very happy with the facility and ease of use.

### 5/5 — Recommended random app

*2013-01-10, version 1.1*

Nice app

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2012-12-20, version 1.1*

This app has everything you need in a random app. Most others I tried only let you use one list. This app lets you create an infinite number of lists for any situation. I recommend this to anyone who needs some choices done for them!

### 5/5 — No.

*2012-12-17, version 1.1*

No.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2012-08-29, version 1.1*

Brilliant! Will save soooooo many arguments!

### 5/5 — Does what it says it does.

*2012-08-15, version 1.1*

Enter a list and have it choose randomly from the list. Works great if that is what you need!
