A simple and elegant way to generate random numbers. Enjoy the rotating colors as you generate new numbers. If the colors are too much for you, then you can just turn them off in the settings screen, as this app is fully configurable. Sounds and vibration can also be turned on in the settings screen, which will allow you to hear a sound and feel the device vibrate as you generate new numbers. If you need to copy the generated number to the clipboard so that you can paste it into another app, then simply tap on the generated number. The generated numbers, along with the date and time that the number was generated and the values of what the min and max were, are saved to the history which can be accessed at any time until it is cleared.
