User reviews

Number of the participants

The setting is no more than 18 participants. I need 20 for the class activities.
Otherwise, itโ€™s a good app as a picker tool.

Love the idea, App development is awful

When I first got this app I was so excited, it offers so many great options of deciding between custom people or basically anything you want. It took a lot to input the people and the foods I was hoping to decide between, but I figured it would be worth it.

Then the app crashed.

I went back on the app, all the people and foods I entered were gone, and the app looked exactly like it was when I first opened it this morning. I'm a little bummed.

Also, the app is really difficult to navigate and adjust.

The app itself was a great idea, with all the options and stuff, it wasn't carried out very well.

Response from developer

Hi! I am really sorry that your experience with the Short Straw was not good. On the other hand am I happy to hear that you liked the concept. Crashes should not happen, dataloss should absolutely not happen. Unfortunately did my app have some issues that made this happen. However, if you upgrade to the latest version I can promise that the app is much more table again. And to all, if you experience any issues, do not hesitate to contact me about it. That is the only way I as a sole hobby developer will have a chance too learn about them and also correct them. Enjoy using Short Straw.
