The Random Number Generator Reviews

It will do the highest number lots of times.

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

Occasionally just won’t open. Not very useful.

If organized differently, this application would be terrific for those doing sports and competition draws.

For this application to work for a referee, TheRandomNumberGenerator 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.

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 TheRandomNumberGenerator, 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)

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!

TheRandomNumberGenerator 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.

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.

Adds tend to block the history

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…

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.

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

I’ve been using TheRandomNumberGenerator 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.

Works great. Love the fact it generates numbers in words and #s. Also can e-mail series. AWESOME support from developer.

Use TheRandomNumberGenerator almost everyday. Downfall is that I can’t use on my Mac book :(

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

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

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!

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.

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
