Saves time
This is a great way to call random names and assign visibly random groups! I use it for multiple classes, and even selecting next class awards. I wish there was a way to delete names or class lists though.
Love
I seriously love this app. It helps with picking students to call on, grouping and so much more! I never review apps, but I’ve had this one for a few years now and wanted people to know this one was worth every penny!
Good but
I like the app I like all the stuff but of course every app now have to have a premium or something to buy with and and you have to upgrade it to premium to get more than random groupings and to make more than one classes it’s really weird and I do not like it. That’s why I’m giving it two stars
Some drawbacks
The app is wonderful,however,it’s not user friendly when removing students and archiving classes. There’s no where to show to do that with the app.
It’s great just I have one complaint
This is a great app just I was clicking on groups and it said I had reached my limit and I had to pay if I wanted to continue which was annoying but otherwise it is great!
Warning: Hidden Cost
You get hooked into using it (for free) and then suddenly you have to pay $13 or it won’t work in the middle of your lesson. You think it’s free, but it’s really just a free trial and for $13 is it worth it?
That may be too expensive if you just wanted it for the random name function.
If this is your app please consider lowering the price and offer the pay option instead of surprising people.

Good
I love it but it but it does say names wrong sometimes and then my students say that’s not my name are they talking about me and I have to explain to them not everything can’t say your name
Problem deleting
Would be a great app if I could figure out how to delete the students that leave my class. If someone knows, please advise. Thanks
Works great, once you set it up
I really enjoyed this last year. It worked well and the students laughed at how their names were pronounced. Some of the add on stuff has been fun too
Now it’s a new school year and I need to delete the old classes to make new ones. There isn’t an easy way to do that! This is a short term frustration of course. I can replace the names individually. But a way to clear it out at the beginning of the year would be nice.

Terrible App
Although it started off great I began using it too much and it ended up ruining my life because it would put people in groups that would ruin their grades and at my house we used it to separate chores. It also glitches and sometimes adds random people that you don't even know into groups. I hate this app and do not recommend using it for anything.

Great for elementary music teachers
I teach elementary music on a cart, meaning I push in to 10 classes every day to teach them music. My time is split between two schools, meaning I teach music to around 700 kids every week.
I put all their names in at the beginning of the school year. Not only am I able to randomly select kids to help me during each class, but it has also helped me to learn their names quicker. I think this app is a valuable resource to any teacher, but it has been especially valuable to me.
I don’t use all the features on this app, but I use the random name picking almost every day. I cannot believe how helpful it has been. Plus, I always tell my students to get mad at the app, not me if they don’t get picked.

Deleting Students from a Class
I like using this app, but every time a student leaves my class, I hate that it is more difficult to remove a student from a class than it is to add them. It is not an intuitive process. And today as I am trying to adjust classes at the beginning of the semester, I almost hate the app.
Math Teacher
Love popsicle sticks to randomly select students for any activity. Also takes the stress away from placing students in groups, since popsicle sticks does it for you.
🤩 Randomized Grouping Tool 🤩
Wow, what an amazing randomized color-coded grouping tool made easier for me to use to create my teams. Including the other features that I plan on using. Now I can randomize my groups weekly/daily and make any changes to my groups anytime. The auto-save feature is cool so you’ll never lose any changes you make. What a great one-time purchase filled with features that are great for teachers to use.

Cash Grab
I literally had gotten no actual use out of this app, but it has potential. So I put it to the test the first time, and bam, it refuses to create random groups until I pay it. I’ve got 11 girls learning soccer who need to be grouped and this app is extorting me in my minute of need.

Asks for reviews too often.
I would give this app five stars, but it asks for reviews too often. So, I gave it one star.
No need for pronouns.
No need for pronouns. Otherwise very useful
Perfect multifaceted teacher tool
I’ve been using this app for three years and I’ve always been happy with it. I use the list feature to keep track of my “mystery walker” in the hallway and I don’t have to depend on my memory to track who has already been selected. I use the random name selector all the time, the dice roll, and of course grouping students is a great one. I recommend this app to all my colleagues. I’m excited to try out additional features, especially the new math game.

Import glitches
I will update after I actually get to try the app. Right now I’m frustrated because the app keeps crashing during the import process. 2 classes worked fine, but the third list crashes the app as soon as I try to scroll and confirm the list. I’m annoyed so far & hope the experience improves.
I’m off to type in 31 names….

Can’t delete or edit students or classes
I love this app but the functionality is frustratingly limited when I need to move a student to a different class and all I can do is rename the student. I also cannot for the life of me edit the names of the classes. When students leave in the middle of the year, I have no way to delete students. I was hoping the update would help but it did not address this issue.
Edit: I just needed to swipe from right to left on the student or the class. Functionality is restored.

Response from developer
Hi c.p.0., to edit a class name, tap "Classes" from the main screen. Then swipe left of the class name. You'll have the option to delete the class or to rename it. To delete a student, tap on the name of the student's class. Then swipe left on the student's name. There isn't currently a way to move a student from one class to a different class (other than reentering the student's name), but that's a good idea and I'll work on it. You can drop me an email at neiledaly@msn.com if you have other questions or suggestions. - Neil
