About

.Roulette

Features
Read full description

This app lets you quickly decide on plans or meals you’re unsure about using a roulette wheel. “I want to decide what to eat today.” “I’m not sure where to go this weekend.” “I want to randomly decide what to do today.” “I have some options, but I just can’t seem to choose.” You can use the roulette wheel to have fun deciding on these little everyday dilemmas. Since you can create multiple roulette wheels, you can organize your options by category—such as meals, places to go, daily tasks, and weekend plans. You can set weights for each option, so you can adjust which ones appear more frequently and which ones appear only occasionally. It’s not just a simple random draw—you can create a roulette that matches your mood and priorities. You can also exclude the previous result and redraw, which is convenient when you want to avoid getting the same result again. ■ Main Features ・Create multiple roulettes ・Add, edit, and delete options ・Set weights for each option ・Random selection via roulette ・View previous results ・Redraw while excluding previous results ■ Recommended Uses ・Decide on today’s lunch or dinner ・Decide where to go on your day off ・Choose options for dates or outings ・Decide on today’s tasks ・Assign household chores or cleaning duties ・Make decision-making a little more fun when you’re undecided Just enter your options and press Start. Cut down on decision-making time and make it easier to get started.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Blip at none against .Roulette's 1. Blip also leads on ads (none vs shown). .Roulette's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
