### 3/5 — Good and bad

*2022-03-27, version 1.2.0*

The app keeps deleting my parties!  I’ll add parties and enter names and tickets to the wheel as my party progresses throughout the week.  THREE TIMES now I’ve gone back in to add names to a wheel and everything has been GONE!! I’ve only had the app for 2 weeks.  I love this app because of the “use tickets” feature on it, but I’m starting to get infuriated that I have to keep doing things completely over!

### 1/5 — Poor experience

*2021-07-26, version 1.2.0*

If you make a party, full of people for a giveaway, don’t close the app… everything will be erased

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2021-03-03, version 1.2.0*

I can’t figure out how to use it, and the tutorials will not work.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing.

*2020-11-01, version 1.2.0*

Horrible app.  Keeps crashing.  I’ve entered the names so many times and it crashed.  Spent an hour typing over and over and over Knott inhíbenos crash time after time.  Don’t waste your time like I did.

### 2/5 — Was so perfect

*2020-10-30, version 1.2.0*

This app was so perfect for my online business for giveaways! I even bragged about it in social media groups. I had 4 parties and I closed the app and everything disappeared for the entire month of October. I’m so disappointed and now have a months work to redo.

### 5/5 — This is great almost what I was looking for!

*2020-09-16, version 1.2.0*

This app is fantastic as it stands! It was closest to what I was looking for. 

I wish there was option that when adding tickets for each person for drawing I could choose to have one bigger space or just have their name on wheel multiple times (one time per ticket) this would be much better for visual drawing I want to use. 

Every other aspect of this app is perfect though! Thank you!

### 1/5 — Not happy that everything was lost

*2020-08-09, version 1.2.0*

I entered all my participants and a bunch of notes, closed the app and came back and all but the host and one other participant was gone. I’m glad I didn’t have to pay for this after wasting my time entering all the data to have it disappear on me!!

### 3/5 — Was great, needs a bug fixed!!

*2020-07-10, version 1.2.0*

I loved this app, but recently it deletes all the parties and names if I leave the app. Can it be fixed?

### 1/5 — Deleted

*2020-07-03, version 1.2.0*

I don’t know what happened, but all of my contacts but two deleted. I was very disappointed having to re-enter everyone. I thought they would all save to use over and over for future giveaways.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-06-08, version 1.2.0*

Keeps freezing
