Ratings and reviews

I've been using this app for years at this point, 3 or 4 at least. I use it to help pick restaurants for regular dinners or special occasions (two different lists) as well as to help pick which story I should work on (indicated by working title list or by character list). I've never had any significant difficulties with the program and the back up list process helped me move from my old phone to a new one. This has been an extremely valuable tool to myself and my partner. I am glad to have it.

I needed an app that would randomize items from a list because I play a game that has several variable components. With this app I can organize the variable components into lists and with one click, the app can randomly choose however many items I need from each list so that I don't play the same way every time. No muss, no fuss, no bother!

This app is amazing. Used it to add movie titles to draw a random movie every week for Friday film night. Also created a list for dif meal dishes on random dinner nights, to keep life interesting. The great thing too is that it removes a name from list when its drawn. That way you're not drawing the same name twice. However if you want to keep them, simply tap the reset icon and all names are thrown back into the pool. Great 5 star app, highly recommend.
