### 5/5 — I am very sorry. 😣

*2025-07-03, version 1.1.4*

I know I get a little *ahem* brutally honest sometimes, but I had no idea you cared so much about the app that you’d delete it over a bad review. I am internally sorry. This app really has pros, its functionality and features. I also love its simplicity and no purchases. Please don’t delete the app, please think about the people who thought this was useful. The diversity has gotten much better since the negative review. 

Again, please accept my deepest apologies. 😔😖

Keep the app open to the public, please. 🙏 

Also, can I get a new developer response? I frel guilty enough looking at the one I got. 😥🫩

### 2/5 — Lack of ethnic diversity 🙁

*2025-06-25*

99.9% of the name I rolled are very White fitting and lacks cultural diversity. However, as the description says “iT’s fReE!” and it is, so…

### 5/5 — Best for Writers

*2024-12-20, version 1.1.4*

I was honestly a little skeptical on how this app would work but I shrugged my shoulders and downloaded it anyways. For an app whose description only said “it’s free!” I had low expectations but this app is literally a lifeline for writers. For me writing names have always been the biggest struggle so I’ve been downloading name generators left and right and this app is so much better than the other laggy and generic apps I’ve downloaded.
And like the app is advertised, it’s free!
I will 100% be using this app for all of my name generating.
