Lots of great features, but it could use one or two more

Hey, this app is really useful! I'm a Spanish major and one of my weaknesses is numbers, so I like to let it autoplay while I translate as I, say, do the dishes. I would happily pay money for two developments: that I could let it autoplay with the screen off/the app not open, and if this were available in other languages as well. Thanks for reading, and thanks for the app!

Good app helpful for working out

I’ve been using this app for boxing drills and it’s pretty useful when you have nobody to help you call out movements or punches. It would be really useful if you could set the amount of time between numbers to be random as well. For example having one number be called out and there be three seconds until the next number is called, and then five seconds until the next number is called after that one. Would be a really cool feature.

maybe needs better seeding?

simple to use. I run weekly raffles in an online guild, and have used this for a couple years. recently i’ve noticed that the numbers have noticeable patterns — like if I need to reroll from a group of six (same winner as last week), it will often give me the same number several times before I can get a different one. that worries me about the randomness…

So Far, So Good

I’m rating four stars provisionally, and will return to edit this post with my final review in a few days. FIRST IMPRESSIONS: I downloaded this app, then immediately ponied up the 99 cents (reasonable) for ad-free access. (You also have the option to send the dev $2.99 at any time; also reasonable, as this option does not appear to be tied to app functionality.) App itself displays as iPad-native (including horizontal view and multi-app view). Excellent. Privacy practices (as disclosed, assuming they are accurate) are within my acceptable range. The option to adjust the color background is a nice perk. REQUEST: I would like to be able to adjust the font size in the data entry fields. FINAL REVIEW: (coming soon)

Great App!

We use this for our golf groups to generate random numbers to determine which holes we use when counting scores. I made a suggestion to add a feature to never repeat a number consecutively and Nick got right to work on it and added that feature!

Well designed, aesthetics could use one change

Great app. Has a lot of good options and is very tactile. The only feature I was looking for that wasn’t present is a dark mode. An option to turn the text white would be fantastic. 4.5 stars rounded up.

Slight problem

This app is pretty good. You can use it in many different ways. However, I tried entering a negative number and it didn’t accept it. So I was wondering if you would be able to make negative numbers a thing.

Great!

I'm a very indecisive person. Sometimes I'll ask my roommate to pick 1 or 2. One means I have to do homework. Two means I can take a break. Now, I need a similar thing to decide which tv show to watch and i don't want to interupt my roommate to this is very helpful. Thanks!

Raffle

Tried this app and it picked a number. Works. I’m looking to give something away possibly via a online raffle and this app will just make it easy. Thank you for inventing this app. Kudos!!

Now it’s perfect!

This has all the features I was looking for, including speech and adjustable speed. Only one thing needs to be added: a “STOP” button. UPDATE: The developer saw my review and added a simple “play/pause” button. Perfect! Thank you Nicholas. Nice job.

Good generator. But

If organized differently, this application would be terrific for those doing sports and competition draws. For this application to work for a referee, the app would need to have seven numbers generators on the page at the same time. I would set them up 1x2. Button. Result 1x3. Button Result 1x4. - Same - 1x8 1x16 1x32 1x64 Then, the referee could push the button for the relevant competitor and placement into the draw. I don't need to maintain a history. But, I do need to be quickly get to the right algorithm. (Top or bottom half, 1 out of 8 spots, 1 out of 3 spots, etc). But, to make this convenient - the 7 choices must be on one page and set up - up front. Doing this would make this application relevant to referees who set up the "trees" for competitions.

Best app

My favorite part is when the number is really slow and you make it say 69

Was a great app before this new version

This new version changed several things. Liked about this app. Auto generating speed is too fast, and cannot set by timer. Terrible!

Works

Works as described. Very good for lottery numbers and generating random numbers for passwords.

Buggy

Occasionally just won’t open. Not very useful.

Not random.

It will do the highest number lots of times.

Extremely useful and stylish

This random number generator meets all my needs, and is both easy to use and easy on the eyes! It has an improved ability to keep and display the history of numbers that have been generated, which can be quite helpful.

Perfect

I needed a random number generator that would use a range of numbers to use to select a given value or team (NCAA picks, Superbowl grids, etc). Originally it did not provide way to weed out duplicates but a quick upgrade provides it now. Great app

Top choice!

I am using number generator to generate workouts. This app allows music to background while in use. Simple and effective with minimum and maximum ranges.

App crashes

This app works great unless I connect my iPad to a VGA monitor and then it crashes. I don't have a problem with any other app, video, etc

10 years ago, Idekyiadt

Okay.

It is an okay app. I wouldn't give it 5/5 stars though.

I pray and I hope this one could help me. Thank you!
