Random Picker
Read full descriptionHide full description
"Who goes first?" Choose someone without being the one who decides. In front of your class, your group or your room, randomness should be visible, fast and beyond dispute. Roulo turns that moment into a little show: one tap, an eye-catching animation, a name that drops. And it works outdoors, in the sports hall, in a school with no Wi-Fi. WHO IS IT FOR? β’ Teachers: call on pupils without favouritism. Your class lists are saved and reusable all year. No need to retype your 28 names every session. β’ Facilitators and coaches: the spinning wheel makes the children cheer. The animation is the product, with sound, haptics and confetti on top. β’ Trainers and presenters: project a clear, readable draw on the big screen, with no ad to break the mood. β’ Parties, clubs and families: raffle, running order, instant teams, weekend chores to split, all from a single tap in front of everyone. β’ Need a fast call, alone or with others: dice, coin flip, number picker. No list to build, one tap and it's decided. WHAT YOU CAN DO β’ Pick a name with a slot-machine animation: the name scrolls, then drops in large size, confetti included. β’ Spin the animated wheel of fortune: colourful segments, realistic deceleration, haptic tick-tick, highlighted winner. β’ Switch on draw-without-replacement: names already picked never return. A "5/28 picked" counter stays visible and ends disputes. β’ Build random teams: choose the number of teams or their size, with a dealing animation and a one-tap reshuffle. β’ Generate a numbered running order: a visible shuffle and a one-by-one reveal mode. β’ Use the dice, the coin flip and the number picker: quick tools for any instant decision, each with its own history. β’ Star your favourite lists and reach the ones you use most in one tap from the home screen. β’ Review the history: proof of fairness at a glance. β’ Share the result: image or text through the standard iOS share sheet. ROULO PRO β’ Balanced teams: rate each participant's level (1 to 5) and let Roulo build fair teams instead of a plain random split. β’ Fair rotation: automatically favours the participants picked least often, so it's never always the same names. β’ Unlimited lists and history. One-time payment, no subscription. ALWAYS READY, EVEN OFFLINE Roulo works outdoors, in the sports hall, in a school whose network drops out. Your lists stay on your device. READABLE FROM AFAR Presentation mode shows extra-large text, strong contrast and hides the controls. Built to be held up in front of a group or projected over AirPlay. The name drops in large size, readable from five metres. CLEAR AND RESPECTFUL No ads. Randomness is generated by the iOS system. Roulo is not intended for gambling, regulated competitions or legally binding draws. Download Roulo. Open the app. Paste your names. Draw. That is all.
