So disappointing. Perhaps someone will get around to fix it. Until then I'll use something else. **Developer response:** I'm sorry that RandoMeister didn't work properly for you. I encountered that issue, while in the classroom, myself. I did sort it out but unexpected downtime is never pleasant. Over the years there have been a few periods where I was slow to discover and fix bugs in a timely fashion. RandoMeister has been available in the App Store since 2012 and I do try to keep it helpful and easy to use. I am always interested in specific user experience feedback. Warmest regards, Scott Morrow support@elementarysoftware.com ### 1/5 — RIP Randomeister *2014-11-22* This once terrific app no longer works since installing iOS8. Apparently the developers have fled the country or have just given up. **Developer response:** I'm sorry that RandoMeister didn't work properly for you. There have been a few times when teaching in the classroom has kept me from discovering and fixing bugs in a timely fashion. Give RandoMeister another try and I think you will like it.

Period *2014-11-22* Every other time I opened the app it automatically closed. When I randomized the names, only one name ever showed up until I went back to look at the entire list, then it showed that all students had been picked and how many times but the names never changed on the selector until I went back to it. **Developer response:** I'm sorry that RandoMeister didn't work properly for you.

Sometimes when I open the app it flashes a black screen before opening and when that happens the app is unresponsive (aside from a workaround I've discovered) Other times I open the app and it will flash, but not a black screen. When this happens the app works normally. I hope this issue is fixed. **Developer response:** I'm sorry that you encountered those issues... I encountered them as well. Those issues *ARE* fixed :-) Thank you for the feedback. Warmest regards, Scott Morrow support@elementarysoftware.com ### 5/5 — Classroom Essential *2019-08-08* We so frequently use this app to create groups that the kids now expect and prefer it. I teach several different classes and RandoMeister accommodates that well. **Developer response:** I'm glad that you found RandoMeister beneficial! Many of my students (eventually) found that creating groups randomly took away the stress associated with who they might be partnered with. Thank you for the supportive feedback. Warmest regards, Scott Morrow support@elementarysoftware.com ### 5/5 — Great tool for teachers *2015-02-03* My favorite randomizer. I like how the developer responds personally to my emails and takes my requests into consideration. **Developer response:** Thank you for the positive and supportive feedback.

Support is fantastic and it works great with iOS8. Maybe the other users that have had problems should contact the developer. I know he responds quickly, and has in no way left the country. He is just down the hall from me teaching 3rd grade :) It has saved me countless times when I needed to group my students quickly. Thank you Scott for such a useful app. **Developer response:** Hello Mr. Mitchell, Thanks for your continued support! There is a new update in the pipe. Warmest regards, Scott Morrow support@elementarysoftware.com ### 5/5 — Excellent tools for teachers *2014-02-06* I love this app and so do my students. No more having to pull sticks to call on a student. This does the same thing, only much more fun...and no more sticks to fall on the floor or have to put back in the can. Sometimes I let students tap the next pick, and you would have thought I was giving them money! lol **Developer response:** I'm glad that you found RandoMeister beneficial! My students found it helpful, too. Thank you for the supportive feedback.

Used this for assigning duties in cafeteria, cabin cleaning, even for the car ride home. Our girls are 7th grade and will try to 'negotiate' for everything. Once they saw we were using the app there was no debating - whomever RandoMeister said was next was it! THANK YOU! **Developer response:** I'm glad that you found RandoMeister helpful! Thanks for the positive feedback. Warmest regards, Scott Morrow support@elementarysoftware.com ### 5/5 — Great Teacher Tool *2012-11-11* What a great tool for randomizing students and putting them into groups. I love being able to specify who should not be grouped together. Obviously designed by a teacher! **Developer response:** I'm glad that you found RandoMeister beneficial! Needing to keep some students separated isn't a great situation to be in but sometimes it can be the best solutions for everyone. RandoMeister tries to make that feature super-easy (and invisible.) Thank you for the supportive feedback.
