### 4/5 — No export option

*2018-03-05, version 4.0.2*

I love the mass import option, but lacking an export option is strange. Fix this, and it's perfect.

### 4/5 — Update!

*2017-02-09, version 3.6.1*

Love this for lists, just wish they would update it!

### 4/5 — Not too far from being awesome, needs work though

*2015-07-29, version 3.6.1*

A good way of randomizing selections of customized lists - however, buyer beware. You cannot edit the custom list(s)!   If you make an error in creating the list - or simply want to add or subtract an item from a customized list - currently (v.3.1) you must delete the entire list and rebuild it - LAME and a waste of my time.  A menu and item edit feature is desperately needed - it's a vital function!

Also, it crashed most unexpectedly during the first use of it.  I haven't really pounded on it yet either, just building some custom lists.

Fix the crash, add the "edit" feature - and it's a five star app for sure.

### 4/5 — Pretty Good

*2015-05-16, version 3.6.1*

Appetite is exactly what I needed to do… The only thing I can see that needs to be added is the ability to edit the name in the list section. I may want to keep the names in the list but I may want to change the name of the list. Right now I won't let me do that.

### 4/5 — Great, but has some issues

*2014-12-23, version 3.6.1*

Needs the ability to alphabetize list
How do you rename a list?
Ability to clear checkmarks should be right under the list instead of having to go into info to clear
Ability to manually add checkmarks is needed

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2013-09-05, version 3.6*

I use the app daily as a teacher. Love the import features that were added. I wish that there was the ability to choose random people from the list every time. The app only lets me choose randomly from the list items that have not been selected in the current cycle. Please allow this option.

### 4/5 — Great

*2013-08-13*

Does exactly what it says on the tin

### 5/5 — Best update ever!!!

*2013-08-13, version 3.6*

Thank you so much for the Reset button. It's a 1000 times better now!!!!!

### 3/5 — Needs a few things

*2013-07-01, version 3.5.1*

What I like:
Several options for random generation
Numbers, letters, symbols, colors, lists
The list feature is great to have, but would benefit from a few tweaks. See below

Issues:
I just got this, so maybe I'm missing something, but I'm very surprised at the lack of some features. 
For generating numbers, it works well. For generating lists, it needs work. 
I am using this on an ipad. 

The user interface is clunky in the lists as I've noted below.
The graphics are not nice to look at, but i can live with that. You can see that from the screenshots, not a dealbreaker for me.

 1) For my lists, I need to be able to have random items chosen each time, not just cycling through the checklist! Don't get me wrong, the checklist feature is great for certain things like family rotation, but not good for testing myself on lists randomly or just getting a random item generated from a list. It should have both functions. 

2) it would be great to set a range for the random letter generator! For example from A to G so that I can use it for generating random  musical notes. This is the main reason I bought this, and tried to get around it with lists, but that's problematic for me too:

3) I don't want to press "OK" each time I randomize a new list item. For me this makes this feature cumbersome. I want to just tap and get the random list item, then be able to tap and generate another without the extra step, like on the numbers and letters. 

4) when generating the list item, the random item text is tiny and squeezed I to the "ok" button. Would be much better to show it like the numbers or letters.

5) no landscape mode?! Am I missing a settings menu?

6) I'd like to be able to choose a number range starting at 00 so that I could set and get random 03, and 08 etc.

This really shows promise, but for me it's not there yet. 
I found myself lacking the features or settings to get it to do what I'd like.  I hope these features get added.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-05-11, version 3.5*

I use it for random letters and it does the job.

### 5/5 — Put Back Random Letters!

*2013-03-03, version 3.5*

It works as advertised for me. No complaints.

### 1/5 — Grrrr

*2013-10-12, version 3.6*

Loved this app until the iOS 7 update. Now can't edit lists or add new lists. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2013-10-07, version 3.6*

Cannot add items/names to lists any more. Please help!

### 1/5 — No Longer Works

*2013-09-27, version 3.6*

Since iOS 7, this app won't allow me to add new lists.  I used to use this app all the time in class, but now it's a broken dud.  Seriously, I'm unable to use it at all anymore, even after erasing and reloading.

What happened???

### 1/5 — Rendered useless with iOS 7

*2013-09-26*

This was an amazing app which did exactly what you would hope - allowing you to create a list, which would be randomised and any items selected would be ticked off to avoid being selected again. Since upgrading to iOS 7 I can no longer enter any text as the text entry box is not visible.

### 2/5 — Used to Love this app!

*2017-05-16, version 4.0.1*

Since the update, the random algorithm doesn't seem to be working properly. The same 2 items at the top of the list always stay at the top until you press the button 3 or 4 times. 
Thanks for taking a look at it.

### 2/5 — Needs update

*2013-09-24, version 3.6*

Can't add items to lists anymore. Until there's an update, you're stuck with what you had.

### 2/5 — Contact info ?

*2012-11-24*

I was unable to contact to developer to report a bug - if I click a few times on the generate symbol or letter button, the app crashes.

### 3/5 — Decent n cheap

*2014-09-15, version 3.6.1*

Works well and I assume it's random, but there are some obvious bugs - putting symbols in the title of a list removes all names from that list, names cannot be removed, titles of lists cannot be changed, etc.

That said, it's a good no-frills randomization app.

### 3/5 — Needs update to fix list issue

*2013-10-01, version 3.6*

I really like this app but it really needs to fix the list issue.

### 3/5 — Random Master Problem

*2013-09-28, version 3.6*

iOS 7 issue: In list mode, can no longer edit items

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love this App

*2017-07-01, version 4.0.1*

It focusses on a modest number of highly useful features, and does the simply and perfectly. As you create a list, the program retains the original sequence of entry which you can always return to. It will also, on command, sort the list in alphabetical order. Finally, of course, it will randomize the list, which can be a clever way to look at clusters that are otherwise kept separate. Translation: it is a great creativity tool.You can enter a list of items that are in your clipboard-- very handy. You can save the list, or just delete all items in a single step. It's a distinctive and unusual note-taking tool. There's nothing else in the App store that does these things as effectively or elegantly.

### 5/5 — Love the Updates!

*2017-03-23, version 4.0.1*

Love the new design and re-work of the app, and listening to the requests worked great! This is back to being awesome!

### 5/5 — very good

*2017-03-15*

Works fine and it is useful and practical. Best random generator I've found.

### 5/5 — Include a random English word function

*2017-03-14*

Could you please include a mode that selects one or more words from a list of about 5000 English language words. 

This mode is hard to find but it is extremely useful for brainstorming ideas. 

Your app is one of the better ones on the App Store. 

Thanks.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2016-05-08*

Meets my needs! I have a large CD collection. So to choose the album I want to play, I used this app.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2015-10-18, version 3.6.1*

This app does exactly what I need to do and I recommend it to any one who seeks to randomize a list of any sort.

### 5/5 — Music practice application

*2015-03-06, version 3.6.1*

I use this app to randomly scramble roots and chords to maximize on-the-fly sight reading. I wish I could rearrange the vertical lines of results horizontally, like you read across the page, but . . .

### 5/5 — Good One

*2014-07-30*

This app is a very useful thing. It does all that it should. Well done.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2014-01-04, version 3.6.1*

This is a really good app. I love how often I can use it to make random choices.

### 5/5 — Great app but...

*2013-11-17*

I've been using this app for years, I incorporate it into lots of activities and work and planning processes. It is brilliant

However since iOS 7 the list editing function does not work and the typewriter does not engage in the list section. 

Tried to contact via app support but that site seems to be unrelated. I don't like leaving bug comments in the app review section generally. 

Hope it gets sorted soon and it returns to full functionality, I really miss my random list generator :(
