Chwazi Finger Chooser

Ivan Seidel Gomes

About this app

First, setup the number of fingers that you desire to choose or how many groups you want to group, then place all your fingers on the screen and wait. Chwazi will make your choice automatically.

Chwazi is a funny and interactive way to randomly select someone from a group of people. It doesn't matter if the question is "Who will pay the bill", Who will buy bread", Chwazi is the right choice.

Note that the maximum number of fingers supported by Chwazi is 32, however, the maximum accepted depends on each device. Usually, it's around 5 to 10.

Ratings and reviews

Bug or feature? I started noticing patterns, so I ran tests with four fingers. In none of them did the first finger on the phone screen get selected. The numbers were within expected limits for randomness on the others (second = 10, third = 13, fourth = 8). Seems to me like a bug. For playing games, this may actually be a feature. People like going first, so you can ensure that you as the host are not chosen. If using this, as suggested, to decide who pays the bill, this seems like an underhanded backdoor.

App was good until I discovered how frequently it dishes out first player to the first person to put their finger on the app. Tested it over and over. 95 percent of the time, first touch goes first. Update-Further testing has revealed that the behavior I was seeing that day no longer exists. Seems to be pretty randomized. Could have been just the circumstances that day. We tested it over and over and were shocked how frequently the app would choose the first finger to touch the screen.

originally downloaded to decide who goes first in board games or card games, which it's perfect for. I've used this to decide whether or not to call out of work, which restaurant to go to, which haircut to get, and more! This had become such a staple of game nights that it's the short cut on my tablets lock screen. Never had a problem with it, the visuals and sounds are really pleasant too.
