Ark IDs is the most popular Ark admin commands and spawn codes website, and now we’re available on the app store! Find out about our features below. Admin Commands — Find documentation for every Ark console command in an instant with our up-to-date admin commands database. Each command is complete with working examples and generators. The command generators allow you to adjust all of the parameters in app, outputting a working command for you to enter in-game. Scroll through them all individually, search by name, or use our filters to find commands from specific categories. Item IDs — Use our item ID and GFI code list to search through over 1,000 Ark items and find the information you need to spawn them in-game. Use the settings to see an item’s spawn command, GFI code, item ID, or blueprint. Adjust the filters to view items from specific DLCs and categories. Creature IDs — Our creature and dino ID list contains all creatures from Ark and DLCs. Simply search for a creature and get the command to spawn it in-game. Use the filters to view creatures from specific DLCs and categories. Additionally, this list provides you with the option to use either the Summon, SpawnDino or SDF command, and allows you to customize the parameters (spawn distance, creature level and whether or not the creature can be tamed), so you don’t need to faff about in-game. Color IDs — The Ark IDs app comes with a full list of all Ark color IDs allowing you to color your dinos. Use the list to get a color’s ID, or tap a color to place it into the setTargetDinoColor command generator, which will output a working command for you to use on dinos in-game.

WhosFirst settles the oldest argument at game night: who goes first? Instead of rock-paper-scissors or the "youngest player starts" rule, hand the decision to a fair, delightful picker — then let WhosFirst remember your crew and keep score across every session. WHY WHOSFIRST IS DIFFERENT Most picker apps forget everything the moment you close them. WhosFirst is built for the people you actually play with. Save your regular groups — "Tuesday Game Night," "Family," "The D&D Table" — and every pick is logged, so over time you can see who's been luckiest, who's on a streak, and who never seems to go first. - Group memory — save named player groups instead of retyping names every week - Long-term stats — selection counts, win streaks, and a luck score per player across your whole history - Eight ways to decide — pick the mechanic that fits the table EIGHT PICKER MECHANICS - Spin Wheel — a physics-based wheel with satisfying clicks and haptics - Dice Roll — real 3D dice tumble across the felt; highest roll wins, ties re-roll - Finger Touch — everyone holds a finger down and one is randomly crowned - Lightning Strike — a storm gathers and a bolt picks the last one standing - Slot Machine — spin the reels for a three-in-a-row winner - Balloon Pop — balloons race to the finish and the winner bursts - Card Flip — high card wins in a quick draw - Rocket Launch — rockets blast off in a photo-finish race BUILT FOR REAL GAME NIGHTS - Remove-once-selected mode — keep picking until everyone has had a turn - Works fully offline — no account, no sign-up - Private by design — your groups and stats sync across your own devices via iCloud - No ads. No subscriptions. FREE & PREMIUM Start free with the spin wheel. Unlock WhosFirst Premium once — a single purchase, never a subscription — to open every picker mechanic and full group statistics. Grab a game, gather your people, and let WhosFirst decide who's first.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: WhosFirst at none against Ark IDs's shown. WhosFirst also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). Ark IDs's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
