## What is Random Name  Selector Starter?

A great tool for Teachers, Clubs, or anyone who wants to Randomly select names!

Simply create one or more Groups (up to 3 in this "Starter" Edition of the app). Add names to those groups (up to 20 names per Group in this Starter Edition) . The App will then randomly select and display names from the highlighted group. All names will be displayed before a name is displayed for a second time.

 Features:

• Call on your students in a different (Random) order every time.

• If you want to exclude a Student/s from the selection simply turn them off in the settings screen.

• The number of Groups / Names is limited in the "Starter Edition" ( 3 groups with up to 20 Names in each Group) but unlimited in the "Pro" Edition of the App.

• This is a Universal App for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

• The Animated Graphics and sound effects make the whole experience a pleasure. The audio can be switched ON/OFF in the app and even mirrored (via Airplay) to external speakers.

• Users can provide Feedback to the Developers directly from within the App….let us know how we can make it better. 

• Share with your friends on Facebook or Twitter from within the App.

### 5/5 — Dear creator, please reply

*2022-04-11*

Hello! I wanted to say ur app is really good and it’s quite useful when I’m trying to pick someone. I just wanted to know what the music is called. Thanks for help! Ryan

### 2/5 — I can’t open it anymore

*2021-10-12*

I have both the pro and free version and I can’t access them on my phone. I used to be able to, but now I can’t. Any advice?

### 1/5 — Nobleox

Useful but Ads are too frequent and much too long. Difficult to recommend

**Developer response:** Hi Nobleox, Thanks for your feedback. We have significantly reduced the number of ads displaying in the app. Please try running the app again and let us know what you think. We can be contacted at support@academyapps.net if you have any other issues. Thanks again for taking the trouble to provide feedback.

Harrison is in your place

### 1/5 — This app is the worst ever

*2019-01-01*

I can't figure out how to add names to the groups and there are too many adds I should have just not downloaded it, at least it didn't cost me money

### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADS

*2018-10-16*

This game has too many ads don’t download it.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2018-09-14*

I used to have it on my old iTunes account(for many years). Decided to download it to my school account and now so many features that used to be free I now have to pay a ridiculous $4 for. I’d pay $0.99 for it but not $3.99

### 1/5 — Ads are nonstop

*2018-05-10*

And you can only add 20 students to a group

**Developer response:** Hi Xxxxjxhxxx999, I am sorry you feel the ads in the app are too frequent. We have designed the app so ads are never shown on the main display screen, that is while names are being randomly displayed. They should only be displayed when the user moves off the main and into the settings screen. If this is not the case, please email support@academyapps.net and I will be glad to look into this for you. In this FREE version of the app we have limited the number of names in a Group to 20, and the number of Groups to 3. This is stated in the description of the app. The paid version of the app has no limitations on the number of groups or the number of group members that can be assigned. I hope this information proves useful and do please get in touch via the support@academyapps.net email address if you feel you continue to see too many ads.

### 1/5 — Sorry not sorry, waste of time ❤️

Trash app but you can improve it by renovation
