Possibilities are only limited by your imagination: ► Who does the dishes? ► Who chooses the TV program? ► Who drives (doesn't drink)? ► What do we eat tonight? ► Who sings a song? ► Where will we go tonight? ► Who offers a drink? ► Who disguises himself as rabbit? ► What game do we play tonight? ► Who puts the trash out? Not to waste anything, this application could not be easier to use: ► You create a question, as an exemple: "Who does the dishes?" ► Next, you add the nominees (possibly from your address book) ► And that's it: you just have to start the draw! Simple, isn't it! Several features make this application more than a basic lottery application: ► Fair mode so that all participants are drawn once (so that no one will escape wash dishes for example) ► Share a question so your friends receive a notification for each draw. ► A wheel with realistic behavior: you'll feel like you are turning a real wheel! Spin it quickly to start a draw. ► Shake to start a draw. ► Add people from your address book to save time: prevents boring and repetitive keystrokes. ► Choose the duration to manage suspense! ► Copy question: those who does the dishes are also those who lay the table? No problem, with one slide gesture you can make a new drawing with the same people! ► Share last result ► Make a full ordered draw instantly with all question's items (for instance, to determine in one time an order of passage). ► Toggle an item on or off to avoid drawing someone who is unavailable at this very moment. ► Dark mode. ► Device accessibility options are taken into account. ► History of already drawn items. ► iCloud synchronization to always have your questions up to date on all your devices.
