However my simulation began to show some odd results, and it seemed that I was getting a lot more very high numbers than very low. I then decided to test this and generated 85 more numbers between 1 and 100000, as required by my simulation, and recorded them, and found that I got 4 numbers in the 99000s just in the 85, the odds of which are 0.000000005, impossibly small. This matched the phenomenon that I was seeing in my simulation, although even more extreme. Perhaps it’s the size of the range? I would also generate them in pairs, and then clear them, and it seems the first number generated was more likely to be very large than the second, so perhaps that was somehow related? It is of course possible that I got a set of numbers that were far higher than most, and then drew impossibly small odds in my test, but it is very very unlikely. Maybe the algorithm’s results over a large sample average out to the median value, but aren’t equally distributed across the range? Whatever it is, I think it is probably some sort of bug that needs fixing, hopefully I provided enough information to help. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2022-01-19, version 6.3* Just a blank blue screen ### 1/5 — Buggy *2020-05-20, version 5.5* Occasionally just won’t open. Not very useful. ### 1/5 — Froze after 2 numbers. *2019-08-11* So sad. It had what I needed. I liked the ability to shake to show the number. **Developer response:** Hi Jem45, I'm glad you like the shake feature. Sorry to hear about the crash. If you contact our support email at nicholasdeanapps@gmail.com I can identify your problem and fix it for you. ### 1/5 — Was a great app before this new version *2019-07-16, version 5.1* This new version changed several things. Liked about this app. Auto generating speed is too fast, and cannot set by timer. Terrible! ### 1/5 — Not random. *2017-10-09, version 4.6* It will do the highest number lots of times. ### 1/5 — Do Not Click Remove Add *2017-04-28, version 4.5* When you click Remove Ad this app proceeds with a purchase without informing you of the costs. Ag the time of writing I still do not know how much has been deducted from my account. Proceed with caution. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very useful *2026-08-21* The number generator is flexible enough to do what I need and simple enough to understand how to use to do what I need. ### 5/5 — Easy and Costless *2026-07-17* Use it for my Pokémon random selector for drawing, easy one tap and complete ### 5/5 — for my chores *2026-06-26* i write down a numbered list of chores and use this app to pick which one to do next. very handy when i need some direction. i picked this RNG app specifically because of the recent updates as well. i didn’t want to download an inactive app ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-06-25* I started using this app a year ago because I wanted to break my natural tenancy to do things step-by-step in a linear fashion. Life doesn't happen that way. So I decided to use this app to encourage me to begin prompting at any old place every day when journaling. And it has been the best decision. I particularly appreciate that the app maintains a history of the numbers that I have used. ### 5/5 — App *2026-06-16* Me and my brother use this app on my birthday every year to play the last of us no return.
