Will not recommend to people with needs to be quiet, such as sleeping kids and so on. ### 4/5 — Good but add a few things *2020-11-06* This helps a lot with writing but I would add two things to an update. 1. A third dice, add another dice to represent a middle name but also make this optional just in case they don’t want a middle name. 2. Gender preference, allow us to choose what gender the names generated should be. That’s really it add these 2 things and this would be an even better app. ### 4/5 — Great app!! *2020-08-05* I love how it has so many names that I can use when I’m writing a book about how that God sent his only son into the world so that He could die on a cross for our sins. All we have to do is realize that we need to be saved from our sins, and accept Jesus Christ (God’s son) as our savior!! If you do that, you will be placed in God’s hand, and nothing can remove you from it! John 3:16 For God so loved the word that He gave His only begotten son that whosever believeth in Him SHOULD NOT PERISH but HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE Ask God to save you from an eternity of torment right now!!! ### 3/5 — Well... *2020-05-03, version 1.6* I use this app to write HUNDREDS of random names in a notebook because I get bored in quarantine ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-07-24* It has really helped me with naming all my characters in my story 😊😊 ### 5/5 — Name that character! *2019-05-19* This is a great tool for writers and has been a mainstay on my journey to creating new characters! ### 5/5 — Great app !!!!!! *2019-05-11, version 1.6* Really helped me a lot with name picking ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2018-11-10* Best thing to happen to me since I started writing...., I hope you guys keep making more. Would love a customizable one..., the ability to add first and last names to the list ✌🏼️ ### 5/5 — Love This! *2018-10-31, version 1.6* This is a wonderful tool for picking character names. It offers so many to consider. ### 4/5 — Four stars *2018-09-01* I love the app - it always comes up with loads of names. My only problem is that it usually comes up with western names and needs a bit of diversity. I still love it for its varied surnames and first names but it could be better ### 3/5 — Nice idea... but a bit limited *2018-08-21* Very American names. Very white American names. ### 5/5 — Useful And Amazing *2018-07-07* I love this app, it gives great names, but I’d like to suggest adding a feature where you can add and remove/deactivate names, so you can deactivate names you don’t like, or add names you do like. ### 5/5 — Selective dice *2018-03-01* Id really love to see the option where if you like one name but not the other, you can tap just one out of the two die, and choose to throw just the one. ### 5/5 — I'm an author and always use this! ❤️ *2017-10-18* I have been using this app for years to get names for my characters. I have told a lot of people about it and it has never crashed or given me a problem! ### 5/5 — Love *2017-09-27, version 1.6* Great inspiration for character names. I recommend for any creative writing ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-08-23* Love it ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-04-28* I really like this app! The names are actually believable and not at all trite. I highly recommend it to writers! ### 5/5 — I love this app *2017-03-14* I love this app, but it would be even better if you could choose which gender you want the names from. Other than that it's a really good app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stay the hell away *2017-11-03* This app makes really no sense. The names are WAY too random and there’s no way to filter them! Delete this app! Begone, foul nonfilter! ### 1/5 — ??? *2015-07-18, version 1.4* It won't even load! I can't get the stupid thing to even start! ### 1/5 — What *2014-10-06, version 1.4* I don't understand what this game even does???? ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2013-05-12, version 1.3* Who would get this when only names are there? ### 1/5 — Skyedoesminecraft *2013-05-10, version 1.3* I hate this game it stinks ### 1/5 — Lame... *2013-04-09, version 1.3* There aren't any fields to filter the results, for example, an option to just show female names, or just male names. You just click to roll the dice and end up with much of the same names you see in the screenshots. The screencaps and the description also led me to believe that you could filter by genre as well. Nope. It's just the same two dice and totally random results. I get that it's supposed to just give you a general name at random, but it's a little too random for me. I'm better off with random name generators online. ### 1/5 — Rubbish! *2013-03-27* It's a good app for people who have no brain and cannot think of names for themselves. Proper writers are inspired to create characters by real people, not virtual names on a virtual dice. Get a life, guys! ### 2/5 — Nothing special *2020-09-02* It’s nothing special! Just a few names on a dice. It’s easier to just look up good names to be honest. There are loads of names but PLEASE add more!! It’s not really helping, the names are random! The names are all jumbled up! But thanks, some of the names are nice but it’s hard to find one you like because of the fact they are in a really random order. ### 2/5 — Hmmm... *2014-02-23* It's one of those games that DOSENT do what is says on the tin. Yes, it gives you some names but: 1) It has some ridiculous names 2) And it doesn't give you descriptions for characters! Don't be fooled, guys!!!!! ### 2/5 — No animation *2013-08-31, version 1.3* If you are going to use the dice setting for what amounts to a simple random name generator, at least animate the dice. Instead this app just generates a random still frame picture of two six sided dice just like the screen shot. The dice to take different positions with each random name, which ends up being distracting. As a concept, this app fails. Two stars instead of one because it does succeed in generating random names. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Name dice *2022-02-05* It’s excellent as I write stories and it helps a lot with characters names ### 5/5 — So easy it's almost criminal! *2021-10-15* This is a great app! Creating names for your characters is as easy as throwing a dice. I've got to confess - it takes a lot of the strain out of character creation - which suits me fine. Fantastic app. Does exactly what it says on the tin! I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — coolio! *2020-08-31* the ads are a bit distracting but who cares. i’ve named so many characters with this app! it’s really helpful and much easier than googling baby names, lol. people with heaps of OCs can relate 😂 ### 5/5 — The best human name generator *2020-08-24* I use this app as my main name generator I and i simply love it it has realistic names and they never sound out of date or behind the times ### 5/5 — Love it! Great for writers!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ *2020-08-13* I am a writer and sometimes I have a lot of trouble coming up with names for my characters.

For a writer, finding names can be tough; NOT ANYMORE!
