Randa lets you easily generate a random number. Just set a minimum and maximum number and you will get a random number in that range. This can be useful for decision-making, picking stuff from a list, board games, dice rolling, coin flips, etc. For example, it's Netflix & chill night and you cannot decide on a movie. Just generate a random number from 1 to 20 and pick the movie at that position in your watchlist. Need to make a yes or no decision (coin flip)? Just set the minimum to 0 and the maximum to 1. You can shake the device to generate a number. And you can press and hold the number to copy it. Note: The app generates truly random or consecutively unique numbers (opt-in). However, it does not ensure all numbers in the range will appear before repeating. This feature, known as exhaustive randomization or shuffled sequence selection, is not supported.

I tried Randa, to generate a cubic die, by setting the minimum at 1 and the max at 6. I noticed that the second number generated was never the same as the first. Maybe that’s because the button is labeled “ CHANGE.” But that’s not random: when throwing a pair of dice, doubles occur with probability 1/6. To be sure, I changed the max to 2 and generated a boring sequence: 1,2,1,2,1,2,…. which is clearly not random, like a coin toss!The developer has fixed this bug, so I have revised my rating to 5.

Developer Response
This is fixed in the latest update (1.2.1). I had accidentally enabled the numbers to be consecutively unique (meaning, it would ensure each number is different from the previous). This behavior is now opt-in.
