### 4/5 — Gut aber nicht intuitiv

*2024-12-01, version 3.0.2*

Ich nutzte das Programm gerne mit meiner Lerngruppe zur Einteilung in Gruppen.
Das erstellen und speichern von Listen ist nur wenig Intuitiv.

### 4/5 — Wish…

*2024-09-24, version 3.0.3*

I wish this app would sync among devices.  We use this for school every day. LOVE IT!!!  Now our iPad is in the shop but unable to transfer the info easily to new device.

### 4/5 — Perfect App

*2024-05-25, version 3.0.3*

I like this App very much - one minor improvement would be to change the Color „Blue“ into something like „CornflowerBlue“, because black letters on dark blue paper cannot be read on any screen + bigger letters for group member names would be helpful for projecting them to the wall. Thanks for this App!

### 3/5 — kleine Schrift

*2023-02-27, version 3.0.2*

mir fehlt die Schriftgrößenverstellung! Bei Verbindung mit APPLETV (vom MAc) ist die Schrift winzig.

### 4/5 — Super…und ein paar Kleinigkeiten

*2022-10-27, version 3.0.2*

Super zur Gruppeneinteilung.
Leider noch etwas sperrig in der Eingabe der einzelnen Gruppenmitgliedern und der Wechsel zwischen den Gruppen könnte auch schneller gehen.

Zudem wäre es wünschenswert, wenn die Gruppen geräteübergreifend genutzt werden könnten. Das funktioniert (bei mir) leider bisher nicht.

### 4/5 — I enjoy using this app

*2021-11-17, version 3.0.2*

It has been a great tool as a high school teacher to assign my students into teams. 
I wonder if you can make it a bit less bright, some students had hard time to recognize their names.

### 4/5 — great but

*2021-09-29, version 3.0.1*

Needs to be updated, please

### 3/5 — Team shake

*2020-09-22, version 2.6.2*

Need a delete for deleting an entire list from previous semesters. More on main screen or editing .

### 5/5 — Great way to mix teams.

*2019-06-08, version 2.6.2*

My golf group has been using this for over a year. On any given Sunday morning we can get anywhere from 6 to 20 people. All the names are in there just pick the players and text it to the starter to get the clubs together. Makes the morning go faster.

### 5/5 — Geile Idee uns super für Lehree

*2019-02-16, version 2.6.2*

Ich habe noch nicht alle Funktionen ausprobiert aber bisher ist die App super und der Support hat sich sofort per Mail zurück gemeldet und wir konnten das Problem zusammen lösen. Tippi Toppi.👍

### 5/5 — Teaching with team shake

*2019-01-28, version 2.6.2*

As a teacher, I integrate group work constantly so Team Shake is an incredible way for me to create random teams on a daily basis.

### 5/5 — Really helpful in class

*2018-12-13, version 2.6.2*

I get make groups without people thinking I’m splitting them apart

### 5/5 — Love the new update...

*2018-11-20, version 2.6.1*

Thanks for updating! This is the greatest app ever, however with the new update it crashes if I try to select an individual student. Please fix

### 5/5 — Not like the preview

*2018-11-13, version 2.5.4*

This app has been hard to figure out and doesn’t show me the same features that I see in the preview. That being said, it is still useful but minimally so.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2018-09-30, version 2.5.4*

I mean nothing that’s really bad. Just could use something new to make it pop out. Thanks for the app!

### 1/5 — Can't set up new class and populate

*2021-07-09, version 3.0.1*

No help file or contact details provided in app on either IOS or MacOS.
I can't get import to work in either OS. Save button does not come up, once info entered.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nur bedingt

*2020-12-07, version 3.0.0*

Die Idee der App finde ich grundsätzlich super. Allerdings bekommt es der Algorithmus nicht auf die Reihe bei 21 Spielern 4 Teams mit 3x 5 und 1x6 Spielern zu erstellen (trotz Programmierung mit zuvor festgelegten Namen) ...stattdessen gibts ein 4er Team, zwei 6er Teams und ein 5er...  für 2,50 also eine Frechheit, da nicht das gehalten wird was sie versprechen.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-09-26, version 2.5.4*

I have used this app in the classroom for 5 years. I recently needed to change my classes but it gives me a warning and I can’t get past it to add a class. I went ahead and upgraded to the paid version but it still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2016-10-06, version 2.5.2*

The interface is difficult to work with, and should be more straight forward. It's challenging to import class lists and has confusing wording for the different options. Seems like it should not be this difficult. Waste of $.99...unless they can improve the navigation in adding classes/students.

### 1/5 — Team shake

*2016-08-22, version 2.5.1*

My favorite and most useful!

### 1/5 — Garrath

*2015-11-03, version 2.5.1*

Not working on iPad 2

### 1/5 — Not working

*2015-05-18, version 2.5.0*

Entered 4 entire classes before realizing there was no way to initiate "shake" to make groups

### 2/5 — Needs continued improvement

*2026-05-30, version 3.0.3*

This app is the tip of the iceberg of what could be done for team making and randomizing. I’d love to see a lock feature to keep teams in place, it’s impossible to stay still as a teacher that uses this. I’d appreciate a feature allowing certain players to always be with specific others. I’d appreciate other strength and weakness features to be added as well. For a paid app, we deserve continued updates that keep us from searching for other solutions.

### 2/5 — Won’t Shake

*2025-08-14, version 3.0.3*

I’m not sure if it’s my iPhone or it’s operating system, but on occasion, the shake feature won’t work.  I have to restart my phone to get it working again.  This is frustrating because I group my PE classes at the beginning of each class and wind up having to wait until my phone is ready to begin the lesson.

Also, I can’t disable the shake function (to just using the touch screen icon only).  While I like the feature to select random player, it erases the selected teams.  I need to be able to keep the groups on the screen as my younger students may not remember their group over the course of a lesson.

### 2/5 — Export to Excel doesn’t work properly

*2021-09-26, version 3.0.1*

Unfortunately this feature, does not export teams sorted, regardless of you app settings.
Fix this and my rating would be much higher

### 5/5 — Only one complaint…

*2024-10-04, version 3.0.3*

So useful as a classroom teacher. Love that I can choose number of teams or team members. Love the ability to level students abilities and keep them away or with specific students. My only complaint is that the shake feature is at best unnecessary and at its worst causes you to lose the teams you just made. Just a shuffle button is all that’s needed. Other than that, great app!

### 5/5 — supi

*2023-12-24, version 3.0.3*

Alles gut, es könnte aber auch gern eine Funktion/Option geben, dass die Teamzuteilung grafisch mit mehr pepp und Glanz erscheint. Der Zylinder ist etwas schlicht und lahm.

### 5/5 — Schlicht und gut

*2023-08-13, version 3.0.2*

Nutze die App, wofür sie gemacht worden ist, und bin rundum zufrieden damit!

### 5/5 — Excellent in every way

*2022-08-28, version 3.0.3*

Does what it announces in an intuitive and sensible way, with lots and lots of options to customise the way it works (including sub-teams and multiple ways of team balancing). Export/Import, too. Extensive and clear (written) documentation plus video tutorials. No hidden fees. And if you are a dunce like me and get an option wrong, support answered my mail almost immediately - on a saturday. Impressive all round.

### 5/5 — Team shake

*2021-11-29, version 3.0.3*

We play golf every week with between 5 and 24 members. This apps great at choosing random teams of 2,3 or 4 players quickly.

### 5/5 — Yes!!!!

*2021-10-25, version 3.0.1*

Amazing app. Everything I need and more. 👍

### 5/5 — Efficient

*2021-09-22, version 3.0.1*

This app works great.You make groups and you can save the groups and you can randomly then break them up into different groups time after time. Use-friendly, fast, an easy peasy. I am in lovr wotj this app.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2021-09-05, version 3.0.1*

I needed an app to sort 24 different singers who all sing a different harmony voice part into 6 random quartets. I emailed support and got a response back within 24 hours. They even included a special video telling me exactly what to do. Opposing Teams was the answer. Amazing app and fantastic support

### 5/5 — Love

*2019-10-26, version 2.6.2*

I love it so much

### 5/5 — Z
