### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2023-02-27, version 1.7*

Can’t sort or search within a list. Very very annoying to not have a basic feature like that. 
Need to pay for full benefit.

### 4/5 — Helpful app - suggestion to be able to search / delete entries

*2022-05-08*

Great app - I have premium and Use it to keep lists of movies and books for when I just want something random to do. But! I can’t find a way to easily delete an entry from a very long list except to scroll through it. Suggest being able to automatically delete from a list when you’ve, for example, Picked something off it. Or have a search function so you can find entry to delete wo having to painfully scroll. Thanks

### 4/5 — Great app but one suggestion

*2021-05-06*

I want to love this app and it could become very useful. However I am using it for meal prepping and it would be really helpful if the data was on an account, to where you could log in on other devices and be able to access your account. It’s frustrating because when my spouse and other family members are home alone to cook, they’re not able to access the lists we’ve made since it was started on my phone. I do like this app but I really wish this was a feature.

### 4/5 — List organizer

*2020-08-29*

Great app but I have no idea how I can sort my list in the man menu. I have Sunday - Saturday but they are all mixed it. It would be nice to organize this in order of the actual days of how they fall. If there is a work for this plz let me know

### 4/5 — Some suggestions

*2020-08-06*

the app does what it’s supposed to do. and i like that you can choose if how many results you want to be chosen from your list. what i wish: as you start adding more and more lists, i wish you could change the order of your lists or at least favorite some lists so that they are sticky and remain at the top. i could be missing it, but for me it seems that the lists display in the order they were created and that order is fixed. so, my most used list, the first one i happened to have created is all the way at the bottom. so i have to keep scrolling to get to it. another thing that would be nice, is if the app would allow you to enter in more than a one liner. other than that, i like the app so far.

### 4/5 — Formatting Issues with Apostrophes

*2020-06-07, version 1.6*

App seems to work well, but seems to have issues with apostrophes in item names - there is a large gap between the apostrophe and the following letter.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2020-03-26*

Does everything I need it to, especially the ability to choose an item from multiple lists. 

The only thing I would want added is the ability to move your lists around in the menu, so I could group them together or sort them. 

Thanks

**Developer response:** You can now use the  tag filtering system to group lists in the new version

### 5/5 — Awesome app! Love it!

*2020-01-22*

Absolutely love the app! Could you give me the option when I select multiple lists if I could have the list name separate the items that were picked so I know which list it belongs to? Other than that I’m very happy with this app! Thanks!

### 4/5 — Great for musicians

*2019-11-17*

Pretty much exactly what I’m looking for. I use this to come up with random composition exercises. One thing I’d like to see is a way to rearrange lists and list items so I can control the order they appear.

### 5/5 — A very useful app!

*2019-09-26*

The premium features are really what set this one apart. I had been looking for something like this for a while, as being able to get an answer from several pools simultaneously is very nifty.

**Developer response:** This features has been added in the newest version of the app! Now you can separate the output to separate tabs

### 5/5 — wonderful

*2019-03-11*

enjoyed every second of it

**Developer response:** Thank you very much.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Formatted really badly

*2021-04-16*

The app is glitchy, and the choices get cut out if it goes over a certain amount of letters. Would not recommend.

### 1/5 — Could be cool

*2019-02-04*

Cool be cool but they limit you to 20 items in your list unless you get the premium

### 2/5 — No Longer Works Correctly

*2023-05-01, version 1.7*

Pulls up items that are deleted from main list and are located in history. Pulls up the same item multiple times in the same “session”.  Unable to sort. Very very basic app.

### 2/5 — Good not great..

*2021-03-03*

If the developer added metadata tagging to list entries to be able to filter based on select attributes then this app would be powerful. Second best is the ability to sort lists Alphabetically vs. by chronology which would make the app useful. At minimum the ability to search lists for a specific entry as another reviewer has also asked for would make this app useable. But if you have none of this functionality and try to manage lists of more than a handful of items purely by chronology, this is not useful.

POV: I have a board game collection and use the app to pick random 3 choices for me to play because I was tending to replay the same few games over and over. I picked up a couple more recently and forgot the last time I updated my list with titles. I can’t tell which games are on the list or see any possible duplicates. Scrolling through 100+ items and trying to do this by eye is obviously not worth the time. Also imagine I could tag what kind of games they are and search by game category, time it takes to play, # of players possible, etc through metadata instead of creating and trying to manage separate lists for this.

Giving the dev this feedback because I paid for premium and would rather not get another app.

### 3/5 — A few things needed

*2025-08-25, version 1.7*

Longer choices get truncated so you can’t read them fully. Also needs an ability to copy/paste picks.

### 3/5 — This would be great except..

*2019-06-22, version 1.2*

Why am I not able to go to a list I’ve created and edit it to have more or fewer options so that I may reuse it in future?

### 3/5 — Simple and easy to use but limitations

*2018-09-21*

It’s incredibly simple to navigate and use. I liked that I could create a list of anything and save it for reuse in the future. Unfortunately, the randomly chosen data displayed is limited to approximately 22 characters. If the full sentence(s) from the list could be displayed, this would be perfect.

**Developer response:** Please update to the new version, the new version can display more than 100 characters and even more in landscape mode.

### 4/5 — Nice

*2026-08-12, version 1.9*

I like the update! This is my favorite list randomizer app that I’ve found. Would love a way to alphabetize lists please!!

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2024-06-29*

You can make lists and delete lists, I have not found any way to rearrange the lists. Per a developer response this functionality has been added but I haven’t found it. Like the worlds most annoying Easter egg hunt

### 4/5 — Decent

*2023-12-01*

Would love to see this have a couple other features:
Share information on other devices.
Photo to text would be nice.
Something that could double for flashcards.
  recommend on a sales pitch for them, such as allowing a person to  know the benefits of premium purchase, other than removal of ads.

Like the best thing about this app is that it will choose one or more from each category simultaneously, but I would’ve never known that had I not purchased it. So if I need to randomize characters for my DND campaign, I can come up with the characters very quickly learning up whether they’re male or female, chaotic, good, or true neutral, what species what occupation, all simultaneously creating a unique world that I can form.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2026-08-19*

I've used this app countless times to decide what character or map to select in video games, if there's no random button.

This recent new update is cool, maybe just add back the "items remaining" counter when in unique mode (or at least, add an option to show how many items are remaining).

Thanks so much for your hard work in making this app!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re really glad Decider has been useful for your gaming choices. Great suggestion! We’ve now added picked and remaining item counters to No Repeats mode. Thanks for your feedback and for helping us improve the app!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-01-13*

I love this app, it does exactly what I was hoping it would! Is there any way we could get a way to alphabetize the lists?

### 5/5 — Resolve’s Decision Making Quickly!

*2023-09-23*

One night I was helping my granddaughters decide to take a bath or a shower. This resulted in split decisions or arguments. They are young. 🥰
Anyway, I thought it would be nice if there was an app to help me in this lovely predicament. That’s when I found Decider! I set it up when they were at home. Allowed me time to set up options they can use to help make a fair agreement.

When I introduced them to the app, they loved it. They accept without one argument. Now we have so many lists to use, helping avoid conflicts. 

On the adult side, my partner and I, enjoy watching movies and shows. So many we couldn’t keep track. Now I use the app to keep track of shows/movies we want to watch. When we finish, we use the app to help decide what to watch next. 
Now if we want to watch something we follow the proper channels to keep ourselves on track. Love it. Use it all the time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2023-01-12*

this is incredible, it is extremely easy to navigate and there are no monthly payments for premium, it is just 2$ than done.

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2022-08-16, version 1.7*

Has help make choices when my adhd wants to do more than I can do at one moment

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-11-15*

Fantastic app, I've been using it for a long time with no problems! The one thing that I'd like though is to be able to re-arrange lists in the Choice Maker. Currently the newest lists are at the top and the older lists get pushed to the bottom. It would be nice to be able to drag and drop them where we want, is that something you could add?  

Thanks, keep up the great work!

**Developer response:** I have implemented the feature you asked for in the new version!

### 5/5 — Easy to use and helpful app

*2021-03-23*

Great app! I am using the free version, which while still having adds, has not been overrun by adds! The one complaint I have so far, is that I can’t find a way to use more than one list at a time. For me this would be a extremely help full feature.

### 5/5 — Love the app but have a suggestion

*2021-03-08*

I have a list of players that I want to randomly select the characters to different games. It would be nice to be able to toggle on and off items in a list so if the available players can be toggled on and those not available toggled off. Or available characters toggled on and if player that has the additional characters is not there, they can be toggled off. This eliminates making more lists than needed and could be used for so many scenarios. Bought the premium, so that could be a premium option. :)

### 5/5 — Brilliant App!

*2020-10-23*

Love using this app to help me decide things. One question: is there a way to get  the full text to show in longer items? It only shows a limited number of characters (one line), and I’m missing another two or three lines on some of my items. Is there a setting I can turn on for longer selections?

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2020-02-18*

Honestly making decisions makes my anxious. This has helped remove that anxiety and make a quick decision when there is too many possible options.

**Developer response:** I am happy to hear that the app helps you :)
