Random creates a string of characters (of your choice) of a particular length. How to use this app: 1. Decide which characters you would like and enter them into the Allowed Characters field. Separate characters with a symbol of your choosing in the "Separating Character" Field. 2. Decide how long you want the output to be. 3. Click Generate! You can copy the output and paste it into another application if you like. You can even have your phone read it to you (using the speak feature). A couple of interesting ideas: - You could mimic a set of DNA nucleotide bases (a genome). Type in "A,T,C,G" as the allowed characters and set a high length (100). - You can create a dice by setting the allowed characters as "1,2,3,4,5,6" and setting the length to 1. - Imitate a flipping coin by setting allowed characters to "heads,tails" and the length to 1.

Nice to have the ability to create long strings of characters. Would like to know the source of randomness. Is it from computational algorithms? Also, you may want to spell the word “separating” correctly inside the app.

Aren't there already random generators that are likely more random online. There is no such thing as random, they must disclose how they got to those strings.

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. - Option to change the separating character. By default, it's a comma, but now you can change it to whatever you like. This allows a comma as a character in the output. Thanks for the suggestion Ely! - Minor UI Enhancements. - Small performance improvements. Thanks for all your kind reviews and continued use of Random!
