Randomiser 4+

As a solo role player this is a very useful tool. I can create all my most used random tables and access them without rolling dice. It speeds up play nicely. I have one game that uses circluar tables that you were supposed to spin a pencil on for a result. Predictably that didn’t go so well. The tables have 13 entries so there is no dice equivalent. I could never play it until now. Solved!

Also the developer is responsive, which is always a bonus!

Thanks for the review 😀

Hi Rob,

A nice little app, it does what it says it does but I wonder if you could enhance it further? Basically, could you add a handsfree mode? It could then be used for training (boxing drills for example) purposes. If you could set a lead in time so the first random choice appears x seconds after pressing start, then set a period between automatically picking a new random choice, the choice is read out aloud if set to do so (and read out repeated if set with a small delay between the repeat). Repeat picking from list infinite or x times depending on setting in list. So for example you get: Start pressed, waits 10 seconds, first random choice displayed and read out, small delay, read out again, waits 7 seconds, second random choice read out and displayed, read out again etc etc. Basically, boxing drills are things like “Jab, cross, uppercut, left hook, cross” that’s one random, another could be “Cross, hook, cross, double jab”, they are normally called out twice in a random order. It would be a great training aid.

Thanks,
Chris

Hey Chris, just to update you a version of this feature was added in version 5.6, you can set an interval of 1s, 3s, 5s, 10s and 30s using the slide show feature and it'll randomize on those events. You may also be interested in the speak feature to speak out the results.

I am using as training aid to randomise certain drills for dog obedience. The list items are quite lengthy and I find editing them not straight forward. A lot start with same text and are cut off after so many characters so difficult to find one I want to edit. And to move within the list item to edit it. I end up deleting it and starting again. Also would be good to be able to go back - when you are chaining items together if it goes wrong would be good to be able to step backwards through what you had Just done. Only just started using it and love it though. Am sure I will find my way around. Not too complicated.

Hey DogLoopy99! Thanks for the feedback, would be great to chat more, if you go to settings you can send me a message directly. If you have an iPad you'll find it easier for longer words as the text fields are much bigger.
