## What is Sekigae?

Sekigae-kun is an app that automatically generates fair seating arrangements by considering multiple constraints — so everyone is happy with the result.

"I want to keep those two apart." "This student needs to sit near the front." "I want to separate boys' and girls' seats." — Sekigae-kun solves all of these concerns at once.

【Combine Multiple Constraints Freely】

The biggest strength of Sekigae-kun is the ability to set multiple constraints simultaneously.

- Gender-based seat assignment (paint boy/girl seats on the layout)
- Quick setup with checkerboard, column-alternating, or row-alternating templates
- Restrict specific students to designated areas
- Ensure minimum distance between two students
- Keep specific pairs of students close together (Distance Proximity)
- Arrange students in student number order (freely set starting position & direction) [NEW]
- Place students in different seats from last time
- Set priority (High / Medium / Low) for each constraint

Combine these freely to automatically generate the optimal seating arrangement tailored to your class.

### 4/5 — 音がほしい

*2026-06-23*

ルーレット機能を使う時に、音がついているとより良いです。ご検討よろしくお願いします。

**Developer response:** このたびは貴重なご意見をいただき、誠に有難うございます。
たしかに音があったほうがより楽しげな気持ちになりますね。
次のアップデートで対応したいと思います。
数週間後になるかとは思いますが、暫くお待ちいただければと思います。
よろしくお願いします。
- 追記 ver 1.7.0-
ver1.7.0をリリースし、簡素ですが音効果を追加致しました。
ご期待に沿ったものになっているかご確認いただけると幸いです。
引き続き何卒よろしくお願い致します。

### 5/5 — アップグレード

*2026-06-21*

アップグレードって月額600円ですか？それとも1度払ったらずっとプレミアム版が使えるのですか？

**Developer response:** 本アプリをご利用していただきありがとうございます。
本アプリは買い切りなので、一度お支払いいただいたら、ずっとプレミアム版が使えます。
ご検討の程、何卒よろしくお願いします。

### 4/5 — 使いやすいです。あと少し機能追加してほしい

*2026-05-03*

席替え実行後画面で、再実行ボタンがほしい。
あと、致命的なのは、教師用で反転させた時，教室レイアウトが正しく反転されていないこと。生徒用で左側の席をいじったとき、教師側では右側に反映されているはずだが、教師側でも左側に反映されている。これだけは早急に修正してほしい。

**Developer response:** このたびは貴重なご意見をいただき、誠にありがとうございます。

特に、教師用画面での反転表示が正しく行われていないという不具合のご指摘、大変申し訳ございません。座席配置アプリとして致命的な不具合であり、最優先で修正に取り組ませていただきます。

また、席替え実行後の再実行ボタンについても、ぜひ実装させていただきたい貴重なご提案です。次回のアップデートで対応できるよう進めてまいります。

修正版のリリースまで今しばらくお待ちいただけますと幸いです。引き続きよろしくお願いいたします。
--- 追記
修正版をリリースいたしましたのでご確認いただけると幸いです。
今後とも宜しくお願いいたします。

### 5/5 — 細かい設定ができる

*2026-03-31*

特定の生徒同士を離したり、個別に最前列指定したり、前回と同じ席の生徒が出ないようにしたりと細かな設定ができ、毎回の席替えのストレスが解消されました。
