Start Player User Reviews

Top reviews

I want to like it.

But there’s just too many lame “Start Player” prompts. The “whoever can name the most ___” are annoying and confusing. The worst one was “whoever is carrying the most physical cash”.

There has to be a better app than this.

Crashed on iOS 13

Doesn’t even start ☹️☹️☹️

Crashes

Doesn't open anymore.. Flashes start screen and shuts down. Unusable.

Useless piece of App

I am sad to review this title as 1-Star. It should be Zero (0), as I had an immediate need when I bought it. #wasteofmoney #failedtolaunch #crashtohomescreen #iPhone4s #iOS7.0.3

Broken in iOS 8.1. Works with 8.4

The latest version won't display on an iPhone 5s on iOS 8.1. Updating to iOS 8.4 resolves the issue.

It does not "crash" as the app, with odd new/bad font size is displayed in the multi task view. However trying to access the app does not work and the app "crashes" back to the main iPhone screen.

bad update

Most recent update (August 2015) crashes to iPhone home on 4s.

Doesn't work anymore

Used to enjoy thus app.. Something happened though and it now crashes as soon as it opens.. Have tried reinstalling with no luck.

A fun way to start your game

The new update is great. There are lots of options for picking starting player, player order, etc. We've been using this app for months in our board game group and have loved it.

Good app

It's a good app with lots of variety.
Maybe some more generic questions and less nerdy references in the question section but other than that it does a great job.

decide the first player quickly and amusingly

Most of the random criteria used to choose who goes first in a board game are amusing. More traditional selection methods such as a spinner (which takes much too long to stop) are included if you don't feel like using. Be aware that if the app is already running when you launch it that it won't automatically choose a new card.

Functional but impractical

The app works like it says, but even at its low price, it feels like a waste of money. Some of the ideas in here are funny, but many of them have requirements that players might not be able to achieve, rendering them useless. For example, one about whoever has the most cars go first would only work if anyone in your gaming group owns a cat, which is not a given. Ultimately, though, the problem is you could do the same thing as this app by thinking up 54 of your own useless ways to pick a starting player. This app does nothing innovative or special.

Could be better...

Was looking forward to using this app in my classroom! Love the graphics and the colorful animation but, am disappointed that the spin option only allows for 12 names and the list option only allows 21 names. Please consider both options to allow for at least 30 names.

Excellent

The card version of this game was always a hit, but this is better. There are enough meeples that I was able to customize one for every person in each of my gaming groups. Definitely worth a dollar, especially since the card version costs more and doesn't have the other features.

Great way to start a game

This app is actually better than the start player deck because it adds more random (and fun) ways to pick the start player for a game. An excellent adaption of the cards and well worth the money.

You can delete all your other Randomizers

This is the best Start Player App out there. It replaces anything that might have come before it. It has 4 different total types of Start Player Randomizers. Plus it has all of your favorite Board2Pieces Cartoon Characters in it.

Superbly over-engineered solution to that perennial problem

Far more options than you can shake a meeple at, you are bound to find a method to decide who will go first. it may not settle all arguments, but is entertaining and well worth the modest outlay.
