### 4/5 — I like it

*2026-05-18, version 6.2*

I like this app and find myself using it almost daily to decide things since I’m more or less bipolar and have a really hard time making up my mind. What doesn’t make sense to me recently is that I set it to generate between 1-3 and used to get a big variety. However for the last 11 days I only get 2 when I set it this way. Is this a weird bug in the system? Bc it doesn’t seem like real probability anymore.

### 3/5 — What happened with numbers in hundredths

*2026-01-01, version 6.2*

When you choose a number from 1 to 14,000, you are never given the numbers from 1 to 100.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2024-11-30, version 6.2*

Not helpful for gambling

### 1/5 — Beautiful and Buggy

*2024-10-25, version 6.2*

🤑I paid for 5 fonts,🎨20 colour gradients, and ❌no ads; the no ads made it so much more beautiful😇, the fonts are a let down 🤬(only 5? + they fit WORSE on the screen!!!), and the colours are nice but nothing special😐

🤬RNG software needs to select the same person in a row less, especially noticeable with fewer people

😡Long names go off the screen during the animation

🤬Long names are covered by iPhone notch/island

😡Have to reload the app after adding/deleting a name

🤨Confetti bugs and plays horizontal animation on vertical screen

🤨Setting to change time interval between rolls does not work (animation takes too long anyway)

😇Glad it’s not a subscription pricing model

### 5/5 — это реально лучший рандомайзер

*2024-10-14, version 6.2*

работает без лагов

### 1/5 — Кривое и лагучее(

*2024-08-31, version 6.1*

При добавлении списка имен, определенного момента уже не видишь поля по набору текста.
После того, как все же внес список и встряхиваешь телефон, чтобы увидеть победителя, приложение закрывается. То есть свою функцию приложение не выполняет вообще.

### 4/5 — Show history broke the app

*2024-08-09, version 6.1*

As title says, turning on show history in the settings instantly crashed the app and it would never open again. Force closing it didn’t help, it would show up for a second and then go black and all you could do was leave the app.

### 2/5 — meh

*2024-07-11, version 6.1*

was great but the layout changed and got worse

### 1/5 — Why change it?!?!

*2024-07-03, version 6*

The app was great! You really f¥€$d it! Finding a new number generator. Y’all are dumb as f¥€k

### 1/5 — Terrible since the new update

*2024-07-03, version 6*

It used to be usable but now the UI has been turned into the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen that is unusable. Immediately uninstalled the app. Not sure what the developer was smoking
