Entered in the name of the party, added myself as the host. Then started adding names. Got out of the app then went in an hour later and all the info I enter was gone. Again created the party and put all the names in then got out of the app only to go add more names then it was all gone again. Am I doing something wrong or is the app not working??? Going to find another raffle app. ### 1/5 — Lost entries!! *2019-03-20, version 1.1.1* After entering almost 100 names, it lost all entries just became blank!!!!!! Sad. ### 1/5 — Not working right *2019-03-18, version 1.1.1* I can’t get it to add all my people in the group ### 2/5 — Maneuvering is difficult *2019-03-11, version 1.1.1* Wish Tha app was more simpler ### 2/5 — Not user friendly *2019-02-16, version 1.1.1* I was trying to use this as a raffle chooser for my classroom. There’s a lot of clicking around to try and set up parties and add people. It’s strange to navigate to create prizes. Very disorganized. Once parties and people are set and tickets are assigned in a pie chart it seems perfect. Until you exit out or wait a day and the information isn’t saved. It was very disappointing that I had to redo my lists and parties multiple times because it kept disappearing. It would be a much better app if the information could be saved. I was trying to use it weekly, adding to let’s to my students’ names for the big Friday raffle. Instead, I was scrambling Friday morning to input the entire week’s information. As a teacher this is the worst scenario. ### 1/5 — Cant add players *2019-02-02, version 1.1.1* I can add names but not players and the wheel doesn’t display ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2019-02-01, version 1.1.1* It is not user friendly; I was not able to figure out how to actually do a raffle, even when watching the video tutorial ### 1/5 — Lame *2019-01-23, version 1.1.1* Waste of time ### 1/5 — Doesn’t integrate with Facebook *2018-12-02, version 1.0.0* I will delete the app, won’t integrate with Facebook as I need it to ### 1/5 — App keeps closing *2018-11-02, version 1.0.0* App keeps closing while I’m inputting names. When I open up the app again, the info is not saved. I’ve tried two times. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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!! ### 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 ### 1/5 — Freezing up *2019-12-20, version 1.2.0* Freeze the whole time. Wasn’t able to use. ### 1/5 — It’s just a black screen *2019-12-01, version 1.2.0* It was working fine, and then I clicked back over to parties and it went black except the parties, people, and settings icons at the bottom. When I click on settings the page shows up, but the other two are just black. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t Save The Names For Reference *2019-09-06, version 1.2.0* It doesn’t save the names once you’ve added them to the party. For example, if I want to add the names for a raffle as they come in it doesn’t save them I have to keep entering all the names over again. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-07-08, version 1.2.0* I can’t make it work. Anytime I try to use it, it gives me a black screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — Fantastic Application! *2019-09-21, version 1.2.0* I will admit that it takes a little bit of time to learn the application but it is a fantastic tool for sales contests! It saves so much time! It was a huge hit with the team and I plan on using this app quite often in the future! ### 5/5 — Dave- Sydney, Australia *2018-06-06* Fantastic app. Great and easy to use. Love that you can assign people different number of tickets. Love it. Thank you ### 4/5 — Nice app *2019-11-07, version 1.2.0* I love the app. It is very simple and easy to use but when you go out from the app all of my listed names and parties were also gone. They didn’t save everytime and it happened more than 3 times already. I hope you can fix that. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Videos help a lot *2019-08-02, version 1.2.0* If you are tech challenged you really need to watch the videos. This is a great app if you want to assign pt values to people and have a random winner chosen. ### 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! ### 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? ### 3/5 — Sound Issues *2020-05-13, version 1.2.0* I thought it use to have sound?! It’s not working!! I remember it having the cute little sounds effects!! Fix it please!! I want sound!! Makes my students more excited when doing raffles!! ### 3/5 — Does it’s job, but *2019-11-09, version 1.2.0* I wish it would save the jobs you did. I use this for a weekly raffle and I have to re-enter the names in every time. ### 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
